Chapter 13: Burning flames

Morning
In the hall

"Ariana, Alexander down...now" screams Axel

"What happened? What is going on Axel?!" asks Amelia

"Axel..!" says Mason

"Not now Mason"

Ariana's room
"I think father is calling us" says Alexander

"I heard him screaming our names..let's go down"

"All the best..our lives are officially at risk now.
Pray that he doesn't kill us today"

Back in the hall
They both walked down the stairs, stood beside their Abuelo and Abuela.

Axel switched on the television and points his finger towards it.

"Who did it? Who did this?" he asked calmly but they stood silent.

"I fucking asked who killed the officers?" Axel screamed.
"Who did it?
Answer me or else I have my methods to open your mouths" he warns.

"Mateo.. who did it?
Was it Ariana or Alexander?"

"Calm down Axel" says Rosie

"Not now mother. No one will speak between me and my kids..today.
Mateo the name, boy"

"Uhmm..I don't know uncle.
I wasn't involved in this mess"

"Don't lie boy..I have no time for lies.
Who killed the officers?"

Everyone stays silent.
"Ariana, Alexander..were you both involved in their killing?" asks Alejandro

"We were Abuelo. It was my idea..I was the one who killed them" Alexander surrenders and Ariana looks at him with confused eyes..questioning him,
"Why would you do something like this?"

"Why did you kill them Alexander?" asks Axel

"They hurt you daddy"

"So what? So what Alexander Dawson? It was my problem to handle them..not yours. Why did you mend in my business? Who gave you the rights?" He shouts at him.

"I am sorry, it was a mistake.
I promise not to repeat it again"

"You are grounded for a week now.
You better not repeat it ever again or else there will be bigger consequences son"

"I won't"

"You may all leave.
Mason let's go..we have some business to take care off"

"Hmm" says Mason and they leave.

"An advice for both of you..never mend in your father's business ever again.
Better be careful next time" they nod.

Alexander's room
"Why would you do something like that..huh?
Why did you take the blame upon you, down there?" asks Ariana

"Why wouldn't I? You are my sister and we both were involved in it..not you alone! I had to take a stand for you.
Of course I had to surrender, because you cannot always be the bad one out there, Ariana"

"Come on don't over act now..you really shouldn't have taken the blame..I have had to face his wrath..not you"

"What done is done..we cannot change it now..so relax"

"Take my blame on yourself again and I will beat the shit out of you"

"I won't.
This was the first and last time"

"Also enjoy a whole week at home " she winked and left.

" I surely will"

Later that night
While Ariana came back from work to home, she directly went to her room and she saw Axel there,

"Dadd..?
What the hell? How can you touch my diary without my permission?" she screams snatching away her diary from him..but he didn't let it go.

"Give it back" she repeats

"Let me have it Ariana..let me know the pain you have gone through all these years!" he says giving off the diary to her.

She stepped back.. "then this is nothing if you wanna feel my pain. You don't even have a clue of what I went through in your absence..in mumma's absence.
Why? Why do you always do things that make me hate you? Whenever I think of doing something good for you..in your favour, you always end up hurting me daddy! I hate you"

"Ariana..
I just wanted to read your feelings of past 4 years!
I wanted to know the things you have had it in your heart till date"

"Really? Then this is what I have in my heart" completing her sentence she steps back, removing lighter from her pocket, she threw her diary on the floor..burning it off..and there was fire between the both.

"Flames..burning flames is what I have in my heart" she screamed and everyone came upstairs, looking at the fire in the room..Mateo quickly got fire extension and sprayed it all over the room.
The room was filled with smoke while everyone came out of the room. 

"Axel, Ariana are you both okay?
Is anyone hurt?!" asks Amelia

None of them responds.
And Ariana leaves from there.

Mateo was about to go behind her but Amelia stopped him,
"Wait, let her be alone at the moment.
I think she will be fine without us." And they went to their respective rooms.

Axel and Amelia's room
"Here..take it" says Amelia

"Huh?" asks Axel

"It's Ariana's diary, another one of course.
I got it for you..not only you but even I wanna know about her feelings..what she felt for the past 4 years without us"

"Are they more?"

"More than 5 I am sure. But I don't know where are they all"

"Hmm..I made a mistake again..didn't I?
By reading her diary without her permission?!"

"Yes you did but if you would have asked her about it..I am sure she would have denied you..so what happened has happened Axel..they are no apologies for it!"

"Hmm"

Later that night
In Axel's study

January 2nd 2020

Dear diary,
3 months passed by since he was sentenced to jail.
Since my life completely changed, forever. Since my life became a hell. I was going crazy. I was so done with this shit..with every single person in my family. I started hating them, especially mom. I had no idea what was going around me..world was going on but I was stuck between. I stopped going to school, nothing interests me anymore, I hated this life.
I finally decided today what I want to do further in my life and that was to escape out of this house..to escape from here..to leave Italy forever..I have planned everything and no one will ever know that I ran away..that I ran away from my problems. Today, it will be tonight..when I am running off to Russia.
Out of nowhere I decided to fly off to Russia, I don't know why but it sounded the safest place around..after all I was just 15 year old; a minor which doesn't allow me to travel on my own..so I decided to take him along, my best man..Toby. The man I trusted the most back then..he agreed on coming along without telling anyone.
