The plan.

Chapter Two: A Way Out

Julia.

I really need a way out, fast.
"I don't think you're going anywhere, Hun." Apollo said, with his pericing gaze still on me. I truly was a little scared, but I was really good at hiding my emotions.
Then... I had an idea. I slowly reached for my pocket, pulling out my knife, pointing it at him. "Let me go."
Apollo let out a chuckle. "You really think your little knife will scare me? Honey I'm the boss of the biggest mafia in town, I've definitely seen worse."
I let out a small gasp when he said this. I couldn't even believe it... He was the boss of the Ace Mafia. I didn't even know what to think. This was just all so crazy. What didn't make sense though was why he wanted me torment me? Had I done something? Was it because I looked at him too long? So many thoughts ran through out my head. I was in complete shock.
"We've been watching you Julia, for a while now. We waited for the day you came here. Finally, it has come."  Apollo said
I was shocked, he had been watching me?

Current date 5/17/25
Flashback date 4/11/25 just last month.
I had been walking home in a hurry. Blood on my hands, when I passed an odd man. At that time I didn't know, but it was Apollo. He had been smiling at me as I walked. I tried to hide my hands behind me, but it was useless because he had already seen. Not to mention the blood on my shirt. He stared me down as I walked home, I decided to adventually run. Maybe he had figured out what I did. I really hoped not. I soon made it home and washed the blood off me. I stared in the mirror. "You're a fucking monster!!" I yelled, staring right back at myself.

Back to current date 5/17/25

That was him... I knew I recognized him somehow, I just wasn't sure.
Apollo got closer to me "We want you.. to join us of course."
I was speechless. But then I said something.
"You want me to join your mafia?"
"Of course" said Apollo.
I thought about it for a second "What's in it for me?" I said, maybe a little confused. But for some reason, I felt excited.
"Money, happiness, and of course, what you love most." Apollo said
He had known. He knew what I did that night, he knew everything. No use in hiding it anymore. I lowered my knife.
We made eye contact for a couple minutes, him waiting for my answer.
Then I spoke up "Yes."

He was surprisingly shocked. He hasn't atucally expected to say yes. But I did. His shock turned into happiness, more of a cruel happy? I wondered what was going on in that head of his.
"That's great, darling." Apollo said.
I stopped him "Under one condition"
He stared at me, with a confused look. "And what is that?"
"I want to be treated with respect, not like how you treat the others." I stopped for a second then continued "And, if you fuck up and turn on me, well let's just say there won't be no more of your mafia." I knew that I wouldn't be able to do much, but I dunno I figured maybe the threat would scare him a little. I knew it wouldn't but you never know.
Apollo gave me a wicked smile "Of course."
He reached his hand out, to shake mine. I took his hand and shook it.

I was now officially in his mafia.
