To the Moon and Stars

Careful

*6 months later*

My heart raced as I walked down the dark alley, leading to a group of Joses' men.  My footsteps were heavy and loud to let them know I was coming their way. As I turned the corner, five of his men were all smoking a cigar with disgusting smirks plastered across their faces.

 I was hesitant to let myself be seen. But I did so anyway. I stood confidently in front of them, determined not to let them see my fear. "What's a pretty girl like you doing walking around at this time of night?", he questioned strongly, standing outside of a broken down bar. "I can handle myself, thank you very much.", I said confidently.

 I didn't want to keep conversation with them, but I knew I had to in order to get the chance to kill them. I heard a few of the men snicker at my comment, but I kept my cool. "You sure about that baby girl?". I placed my hand on his chest moving it downwards slowly as I spoke. "Buy me a drink and you'll find out." 

 In that moment, I came up with a plan. "Sure thing sweetheart, let's go to the back" he said eyeing me up and down. I wanted his disgusting eyes off of me, but I had to stay calm. I followed him into the bar and I immediatly realized that this isn't an ordinary bar. This is the spanish mafia's bar. The mafia that I was once in. The mafia that killed my family. I felt nothing but pain as I remembered what these people did.

 As I was lost in thought, I didn't even take note of where the man was leading me. We walked into a dark room lit up by neon signs and he swiftly closed the door behind us. "You know, pretty girls like you don't wander into this bar that often.", he said behind me whispering in my ear. I could feel his micro-bulge rubbing against my ass.

Damn it really is micro.

I turned around and slowly grabbed my knife from my front pocket making sure that he didn't notice. I started caressing his cheek as I spoke "Then you must know that I didn't wander in here by accident."I then lunged my dagger straight into his heart.

As his screams filled the air, his men started kicking down the door. I grabbed my gun from my waistband and quickly loaded it. From there, I ran behind a curtain and waited for them to bust through. As they filed in, I swiftly shot them one by one. One in the head, one in the stomach, one in the leg, and one at the man's dick. I ran out of the room, aware that all eyes were now on me. A big man approached me with a scar across his eyebrow."I remember this bitch, Jose's been looking for you." I swallowed my fear as I spoke, "Make sure to send him my kindest regards." 

And from there, all hell broke loose. The man lunged his knife straight at me. It scraped the side of my ear. I raised my hands a bit to get ready to fight. I could already tell that this was going to be a long night. He lunged at me again, but this time, he plunged the knife straight into my shoulder. 

Do I have a fucking target on me or something?

"Ow! That hurt you puta" He cut me off with a scream as I right hooked his face causing him to stumble backwards. From there, everyone in the room started pulling their weapons out. Someone took me by surprise and started kicking my already bruised ribs and stomach. I tried to grab my gun, but I knew I couldn't take all of them. So, I did the next best thing. 

My grenade.

I had an opportunity to roll away from them and run. Before I planned my exit, I made sure to unhook my grenade and throw it in the middle of the fight. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked confused. I slipped out of the mans arms and jumped right through the window causing all of the glass to shatter, but I knew I had to get out of there. As I looked behind me, the whole bar burst into flames, causing everyone inside it to burn. Looking at the building, I pulled out a peice of paper and started writing my own note.

"Dear Mr. Nunez,

I hope this letter finds you in good health. So sorry about the mess I made, but I needed to send you a message. Everyone knows you as being cold and ruthless, but you better watch out because fire will melt ice every fucking time. Come and find me, I'm waiting...

XOXO, Aria Moreno"

They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but I like mine scolding hot. I put my jacket on and zipped it all the way up so that nobody could see the blood leaking from my shoulder. I grabbed my knife and stuck it in my waistband, and made sure that I had my gun on me before I made a run for it.

I ran back to my hotel, and quickly walked up to my room leaving a trail of blood everywhere I went. I took my jacket off and hopped into the shower letting the steam fill up the room. There was an overwhelming silence leaving me alone with my thoughts.

Ever since my family was murdered by the Spanish mafias leader Jose Nunez, I've been planning my revenge. My dad was one of the biggest gang leaders in Jose's mafia and was always loyal to him. One day, my dad double crossed Jose not thinking that he would find out. We all told him it was a bad idea but he insisted that it would give our family more protection. Now my family is dead, and i'm the only on left.

I quickly got dressed into my favorite pair of grey sweats and a comfy black sports bra and made sure to clean my wounds. I let my natural wavy hair down to air dry and made my way over over to my bulliton board. Every since Jose left me that note, I've been taking out his men one by one. I saw the faces of the people I killed today and made sure to put a big X across them.

 I've been watching his every move as i'm sure he's been watching mine. I will find him and I will get my revenge and when i do, everyone will be sorry. I laid down satisfied with today's work and let my tiredness consume me.

 If only I knew what was waiting for me when I woke up.
