Pure Bliss

21. His Death Wish

We arrived back in Spain, I unlocked the car, we placed our suitcases back into the boot of the car.
I sat in the driver's seat, I placed my seat belt on, off we drove back to the mansion.
(20 minutes later)
We arrived at the mansion, I took my seatbelt off, I took the suitcases out of the car.
I locked it behind me, I walked into the entrance, I dropped my suitcase onto the ground.
OH MY FUCKING GOD!
Bodies lay lifeless on the floor, covered in blood, who the fuck done this?
I ran over to Lion's body, he was badly wounded, my blood began to boil.
"Mum, get the nurse!" I shouted
I grabbed Lion's gun, searching the mansion for Diego, an Italian was still in the building.
I shot him, I strode quietly towards the library, I had a gut feeling he would be in there.
Diego was strapped to a chair, I untied him, he wasn't wounded or anything, maybe I just got here in the nick of time.

I untied him, Diego grabbed his gun, "let me go out first" Diego cried
"No let me" I urged, Diego smirked, I was a tough young lady.
I promised him, anybody who came for him, I'd be there worst nightmare.
Another Italian came our way, I shot him, his body collapsed onto the floor as soon as the bullet hit him.
We made it to the lifeless bodies, still scattered across the floor, all the nurses was running around placing bodies onto the bed stretchers.
"How's Lion?" I asked
"He's not so good, you might want to prepare yourselves for the worst" the nurse explained
What? How could they do this to Lion? I fell to the floor, with Diego's arms wrapped around me.
I screamed like I hadn't before, nobody fucks with my family, then gets away with it.
I get up, I walk out to the front of the entrance, I saw more and more Italians approaching.

My body full of rage, I began to scream, an almighty scream.
Fire exploded throughout the field, every single body was wiped out, all I could see was ash.
Blood was running from my nose, the sound of Diego calling my name, echoed throughout the field.
Diego grabbed me, hurrying me inside, I was in shock.
All the bodies what was on the floor had gone, blood smeared all over the floor, I felt like vomiting.
The thought of a war, made me feel ill inside,
I didn't want this life.
But I was born into it, not having much choice, I went along with it.

The cleaners began mopping the floor, the gardeners began sorting out the field, planting crops as well as, flowers.
I visited Lion's room, I sat down, whilst grabbing hold of his hand.
Tears began to stream down my face, if I lose him, I will lose the other half of me.
"I need you Lion, the first time I saw you, I didn't think we'd become this close. But we have, I cherish you. Please, be okay" I sniffled
Diego strode into the room, his facial expression going from happy to sad within a matter of minutes, Diego placed his hands on my shoulders.
"My most loyal soldier, I've known him since I was 18, he had never let me down.
NEVER. He is my right-hand man, he always will be" Diego cried

I took a deep breathe, I untied my hair, I placed my hair on his wound.
"Violet? What are you doing? You'll die" Diego gasped
"I know, but he's my brother, I can't sit about and do nothing" I replied
"What about our baby?" Diego asked
I cradled my bump, I needed to think about our baby right now, sitting back from my chair whilst watching him slowly die, was the most painful feeling in the world.
I cried in Diego's arms, I couldn't let my brother die, he meant everything to me.
Suddenly, I heard a man walk into the entrance, it was dad.
Who invited him? I did, I think.
My dad looked at me, looked at Diego, then back at me.
"Why are you here?" I ask
"To say goodbye to my son" Daniel cried
I stood there cradling my bump, nobody will ever hurt my son/daughter, I'll put a bullet between their eyes.
"You're pregnant?" Daniel asked
"Yes, I'm currently 1 month pregnant" I reply
"What else are you fucking hiding Lillian? First, you didn't tell me I had twins, now I've got a granddaughter/grandson on the way" Daniel roared

"How could I? I was on the run, you idiot?!" Mum cried
"STOP IT!" I shouted
"We're here for Lion, not for a fucking argument, you imbeciles" I cried
Mum and Dad looked down at the floor, then looked back at me and Diego, he took a deep breath.
Dad entered the room, he was talking to Lion, for what felt like hours.
Mum walked towards the kitchen, she started making a coffee, these two arguing was giving me a headache.
I entered the room, where Lion was laid up in bed, I couldn't bare the thought of him dying.
I want my baby, to grow up with an uncle, uncle Lion has a ring to it.
"Diego? Have you called his wife?" I asked
"He has a wife?" Dad asked
"Yes, she's called Angela" I reply
Dad looked stunned, but yet happy, I guess he was happy with the fact that his children had found happiness.

Unexpectedly, I could see Lion's eyes flutter open, the pain in my chest began to relieve itself.
"Lion?"
"Hi V"
The sound of his voice, put tears in my eyes, I grabbed hold of his hand.
"I thought I had lost you" I sniffled
"You won't lose me, I'm made of steel" Lion giggled
"Mum? Grab the nurse please" I ask
Mum nodded, she walked out of the room, Lion looked at dad.
"Who are you?" Lion asked
"Hi son"...
