3 hours of sleep? That's a pretty good nights rest right there.
Looking at the clock on my nightstand, it reads 4:26 AM. Not bad. My throat is hella dry so I swallow a bunch of times but it doesn't help.
Deciding even if I'm thirsty, I don't wanna run in to any biologicals right now so I get up and make my way to the bathroom.
Opening the door I go to the sink, turn the water on, and put my face under the faucet.
Even in the sink it tastes like rich people water.
Once I feel satisfied, I make my way back to my room. Pulling out the paper with the cryptic codes I wrote down, I continue to go over first targets and every detail about them.
Every detail till I know their dead dog's name. I will not have any surprises to catch me off guard- no loose ends.
This revenge is not only about me. It's for all of us.

Looking over at the clock, it reads 6:55 AM. I didn't realize I had been planning for that long.
Rolling out of bed, I walk out my room and down the stairs going to the kitchen. In the kitchen I notice Sebastian, Domenico, and Elijah.
Giving a nod in greeting to them I walk over to the fridge to grab some water when Joanna comes to me.
"I can do that for you Mrs. Diovanna!" She says cheerfully. I put my hand out shaking my head in a 'no' motion before signing to her.
'No it's okay, I just want water I can get it, also just call me Diovanna, your older than me and i should be calling you Mrs, not the other way around' I sign before turning around.
"Oh uh- dear. I started learning sign language after finding out that's how you communicate, but the only words I can understand are my name, yes, no, and okay" she says scratching the back of her neck out of nervousness.
I smile amused at her. I look to Elijah who happens to be watching our interaction along with the other two lads.
'Can you translate for her?' I sign to him knowing he will understand. He nods explaining to Joanna what I said.
"Oh sweetie your to kind Diovanna, if you insist on getting your own water than it's okay with me. Whatever you want" she assures patting my slightly bruised shoulder from being thrown in the pit- literally.
I bight my lip, turning around and grabbing my water. Turning back around to face my brothers seeing them already looking at me.
Raising my eyebrows at them in silent question of 'why are you staring at me?', Sebastian speaks up.
"You're going to go shopping today, probably with Giavanna, Matteo, Luca and Ares. They will get you everything you need" he says going back to his things on his laptop. I just nod.
