"Evil never dies, it's immortal. When you think you escaped it , it just takes on a new face , a new name .Just because we have been touched by it's once , it doesn't mean you're immune to it . Like lightning it can strike twice .
But the chaos of nature brings me calm but I want to keep myself safe from it falling on me like the evil touching me again . I admire it from afar .
Looking out my window these lighting and thunderstrom, calms my soul. On my birth they escorted me , they showed me that's it's okay to scream, to vent out your anger but not to be touched by them , they touch can burn you down . Now at 22 they are my only constant. It showed me that even the most beautiful nature can be fierce sometimes.
The only question I ask everyday to sky is that, ' how can I save myself from my demons , my past , my scars ? Why was I forced to face these demons , this hell ? Why was I abandoned, ? Why so much pain ?
Will killing myself end my misires ?
Only reason to live is to save others from these scars , Torture, abuses and the lightning on falling them .
How can I save everyone from getting stuck in these lightning when I myself is was strike by it . Does being strike by Evil means now I can't be pure again? I can't be good now ? Does killing people who hurted me and are going to hurt others had made me a monster forever or like lightning have they given me permanent scars that won't let me heal.
A knock interrupted my thoughts, I know it's Rafel , friend I meet when I was 4 .
" done starting V ?" He asks with some frustration in his voice .
" Had a fight ?" I asks , knowing that's reason behind his frustration can only be his father.
"He wants me to get married and kill my half brother " the grip on the door handle turns his knuckle white .
His father was an asshole he killed his mother because he meet someone new and young . Dimrit Mother was a lovey lady but was brutally killed by her husband , and Dimrit and I were forced to watch that horrified seen . He repeated the same process of killing his next 2 wife's.
" you should have killed him when we had the chance " he knows I am talking about when his father killed his on daughter. It was a breaking point for Dimrit , I wanted to kill his father so Dimrit could find some peace, but he refused cz he believed he could change him . Funny thing you can never change a monster into a human .
" we were 8 V !! " he groans
"Your point being ?" A smirk find it's way on my face . He ignores my question and give me a deathly stare . Being 8 doesn't mean he hadn't killed before. His first kill was when he was 5 but the reason at 8 was that the monster was his father .
"Anyway your uncle is asking for you to join breakfast and hey has a bunch of lawyerswith him " he says while running a had through his Brown curls . I open my mouth to refuse but instead he shhhshh me and says
" he said it's an order and he wants you to obey it . "
"I don't know if I am at peace Raf , but I don't give a fuck anymore " he gives me a wtf look .
"It's about jido , his last wishes , his will "
"Ok" that assshole know how to approach me . The only person I ever trusted was my jido , he never raised me full time , but the time he gave me was everything I could ever ask for , he left me too soon and now even if he was alive, I would have killed him for having a son like Mr Remo Luciano .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walking through these similar hallways itch my heart to cry , to scream, to break everything in view.
I used to visit jido during my vacations ( not like a normal kid) mostly when I was kidnapped or abandoned. My existence from mafia world is hidden , no one knows my real name, my reason in jidos house , I am like a orphan who jido helped , those who know me through jido just call me Aurora. A few who helped me or I trust a bit know the name jido gave me i.e. Vera.
I used to spend few weeks here unless I was given to a new protector in disguise of a happy family in the name of protection. I love this place as much as I hate it , it's a home i always wanted but its just house I know, but was never allowed to live in as a daughter, in everyone eyes I am just an orphan . A thing to pity on .Was never seen or treated as jido's own flesh and blood.
After a few more steps I find my self staring at the big metal door like it's going to kill me.
Two gaurds open the heavy doors for me , this place screams wealth , but irony is their hearts are empty . Ignoring all the silly thoughts I move towards the massive dinning (uffff walking is so exhausting) . After few strides a person came in my view ,dressed in grey Italian suit , black loofer and shifty face is the uncle of mine and surrounds him are few high profile lawyers .
"Take a seat Aurora and try sitting like an elegant lady "
"Ohhh dam!! Elegant like you ?? Nahhh dude can't step that low "his eyes flickers to mine and I can see the hatred there , but I give him my most polite smile .
He slides a envelope towards me , I accept it ( the only thing beside' I want to murder you' , he has ever given me .) I am not even a bit curious about it because his face tells me it's no good for me..
One of the many lawyers clears his throat and his eyes urges me to open the envelope.

"" ACCORDING TO MR ACE LUCIANO 'S WILL HIS ONLY GRANDDAUGHTER, VERA AURORA LUCIANO, HAS TO GO TO INDIA TO HER FATHER AND LIVE WITH THEM .
IF SHE REFUSE TO DO SO THE PROMISED BENEFITS WILL BE TERMINATED AND HER UNCLE MR REMO LUCIANO WILL BE TRANSFERRED WITH ALL POWER . """""

Wtfffffffff.............. expression covers my face , my mind no where to find , my heart bleep bleep beeep , and my eyes ,,....omg I need to get them checked
Wtf did I just read ,.......... I am a total mess but I can't give Remo that satisfaction I cover all my emotions and face him .

I look at him that stupid smirk plastered on his face .
"You know I always thought of sending you away , but father has finally send you to hell. Your father never wanted you ,he was so weak that he couldn't even take a stand for your mom , but now I need to do nothing , you will pack your bags and leave tomorrow from my home "" he put so much emphasis on word my home that I want to laugh on his insecurities.
One of the lawyer stands and give me few instructions like not telling them about mafia , jido was a normal automobile engineering or if I go against that then Remo can cut my tounge and etc etc .
No bubba i am not scared but for the will,for jido's wish sake innocently i say ok . Before I can say anything else he says " also your brother's are going to hate you "

Helll . What does he mean by brothers .. he leaves me there before I can ask anything
Where in India I an suppose to go
I am familiar with India but wtf I don't know which state , place . Who am I kidding I don't know My father's name . What I am suppose to do fly to India andthen wait on airport and wait for anyone in need fir a 22 year normal looking girl .
Something under the envelope catch my eye , it's note in 2023 ( no offence but you could have send a letter through a person, much appreciated. )
""" no more allowance for you ask you dear daddy now
Remo"""""
I don't blame him because everyone thinks jido gave me allowance , though him gave me a bit but I never used it , I earn my own money ....no one needs to know they should all think I am weak . Last a lawyer for my comfort says your father will be notified about your presence today so he can escorte you on your arrival .

"V !!!!! V !!!!! ", Rafel shouts through hallway and I remain silent ignoring him he finds me after a few more shouts .
"Red is trying to hack our system" he wispers in my ear.
"Harry can Handel it today he won't be able to pass even first
step security wall """"
He nods " what he wanted ??"" He questions
"I have a father and brothers in India and according to jido will I have to go live there "
" You gonna go ?" He asks like it's so normal to suddenly having someone blood related after 22 years of thinking you are just alone . But I have so many questions now and I want answer to those , not only question but their is something in India which a want, I was planning to go their in next 3 months but destiny had some other plan . Now I want answers to my questions and that something with me .
