Darkness in the Wind

Chapter 1 Who they are

Raven Phoenix Lambert is 16 going on 25. She had a rough beginning, but she is a strong girl and made it through. When Ray was five her parents dropped her off at an orphanage because they did want a girl. See, her family is the French Mafia, well that was until she wiped them clean, took them over, or killed those who didn't join her.

Raven has been in and out of foster homes and all of them were terrible. They abused, raped, tortured, and starved her. When she was 12, she ran and lived on the streets for three months until Joseph Lambert, the old leader of the Guns and Roses gang, found her and took her in. Joseph was a father figure to Ray, when she turned 13, he officially adopted her, Natasha and Dante, and she took his last name. Joseph died a year later, on a mission, when Raven was 14, and she had to take over the gang for him. It was hard at the start because the members of Guns and Roses didn't believe in her, or they did not want to be led by a little girl. But she made it through with strong leading and some killing. Raven and the gang live in Pau, France, in a big house outside of town.

One day Raven was walking down the streets of Rennes, France, and she found a four-year-old girl who did not know her name, so Raven named her Alexandria Rose Lambert. Ray found her when she was 15 and took her in as her own. Raven graduated high school at 12 and college at 15 with a master's in business and medical.

Raven is cold, emotionless, scary, and mean with people she doesn't know or like. She is also feisty, strong-willed, sarcastic, kind, caring, protective, and loving. Ray has two best friends Dante Rosso and Natasha Rosso, who are like siblings to her. She can speak French, Spanish, German, Italian, Polish, Czech, Arabic, Russian, and Finnish. Her ethnicity is French, German, and Finnish. Raven also has two wolves named KoKo and Aho. They are both very protective over the girls, can attack you with one two-toned whistle by Raven, and are commanded in German. So, at 16 Raven Lambert can speak nine languages, a high school and college graduate, a mother, a sister, and lastly a gang boss.

Alexandria Rose Lambert was four years old when her parents decided they didn't want her, so they threw her on the streets of Rennes, France. Lex lived on the streets for a couple of weeks until Raven found her. She can speak three languages: French, Spanish, and Finnish. Her ethnicity is French, Arabic, and Finnish. Alexandria has a pet cat named Milo. He will only sleep with her, follows her around, and loves to cuddle with Lex. Ally (Alexandria) is very smart, bubbly, curious, and independent.

Raven has two best friends Dante and Natasha Rosso. Dante is 18 years old and is like a bother to Raven. Him and his sister, Natasha, were put into foster care at the ages of six and four. This is where they met Raven in a foster home when they were ten and eight, and they stuck together ever since. Their family was the Italian Mafia, but now it is Raven and Alexandria. Dante is Raven's second in command for Guns and Roses. He is two years older than Natasha and Ray, so 18. Dante is emotionless and cold with other people, but he is protective, loving, caring, funny, and sarcastic with the girls.

Natasha is two years younger than Dante, so 16 just like Raven. Nat and Ray are like sisters. Nat knows about Guns and Roses, but both Tate (Dante) and RP (Raven) will not let her join. Nat has two pets; one is a white German Shepard named Snow and the other is a cat named Luna. Snow is protective of her, and Luna is very clingy. Natasha is funny, sarcastic, playful, and can be mean at times.

Lorenzo Ace Vega is 18 and had to grow up fast. When he was a kid, his life was good, nothing to complain about. Well, that was until his mom, Camilla Anne Vega, got pregnant again with his little brother, Alexandre Felix Vega. From there everything went downhill his parents would always fight, and when Alex was born it got worse. Camilla started to drink heavily, and his father, Carlos River Vega, was rarely ever at home, but when he was, he would beat Enzo. He had to fend for himself since he was 12 years old, which is when Camilla got pregnant.

Then one day Carlos never came back, so that left Lorenzo to take care of his two-year-old little brother and his alcoholic mother at 15. When he was 16, Enzo found out he had to take over the family business, the Spanish Mafia, because Carlos disappeared. Enzo has a best friend named Antonio Marcel Gomez, who he has been friends with since grade school. Antonio helped him with the mafia and became the second in command. Enzo dropped out of school to become the leader of the top mafia in the underground world, but Toni stayed in school, but still helped him when he could.

They lived in Canada Real, Spain, which is a small shitty little town, in a run-down shack that barely held them all. Lorenzo tried to protect Alex as much as he could from Camilla, the mafia, and the scary world they live in. One day Enzo and Alex moved out of that shitty little shack that they used to call home and moved to a small, beautiful town called Cudillero, Spain, in a big country cottage outside of the town.

Enzo is normally closed off-ish, cold, and emotionless, but with Alexandre, he is very different. He is playful, friendly, loving, protective, caring, and kind. Enzo can speak four languages: Spanish, French, Italian, and Greek. His ethnicity is Spanish, Italian, and Greek. Lorenzo Vega is 18 and he can speak four languages, is practically a father, a brother, a mafia leader, a best friend, and a businessman/leader.

Alexandre Felix Vega is Enzo's little brother who is six years old. Alex never really knew his parents, he's too young to remember Carlos for sure, but he wished he didn't remember Camilla at all. One day when Lorenzo was out, Camilla beat him until he was black and blue. That next week Enzo moved them out. Alex can speak Spanish and his ethnicity is Spanish, Greek, and Italian. Alexandre is shy, curious, playful, and very dependent on Lorenzo.

Antonio Marcel Gomez is Lorenzo's best friend and second in command. He and Enzo have a love-hate friendship. Toni did not come from the best family. He and Enzo met in grade school when Toni was five, and Enzo six, and have been friends since. When Lorenzo found out about the mafia, Toni said he would help Enzo with that big responsibility, so he became the second in command. He is a year younger than Lorenzo, so he is 17. Toni has two Pitbulls named Jax and Spike. Jax is very friendly, and caring, and can only be commended by Toni in Spanish. Spike is very protective of Alexandre and can be commended in Spanish by Toni or Alex. Toni can speak three languages: Spanish, French, and Italian and Toni's ethnicity is Spanish. Antonio can be mean, cold, and emotionless when need be. Normally he is funny, playful, flirty, and a hound-dog.
