The Mafia's Princess

Chapter 20

Nightmare

I scream as a knife is stabbed into my leg 
"YOU STUPID WHORE" My mother screams at me. "WORTHLESS I WISH I GOT A FUCKING ABORTION YOU MISTAKE" she screams stabbing my leg over and over again I feel the blood running from my thigh and down my leg. 
"Baby relax"  my step-father says hugging her from behind while I sob and scream in pain. She sighs relaxing against him. They reek of alcohol. "I say we just put her in the basement for the night" he says slurring his words my mother hums a smirk on her lips 
"Get up bitch" she kicks my stomach. I get up wincing in pain tears still streaming down my face. She grabs my hair and drags me down to the basement my scalp burning. She throws me down the stairs making me scream from the pain. She picks up a knife and throws it as me landing in my shoulder I scream. "Shut up" She glares at me. I shake from the pain and cold. It's winter and the basement is freezing. "Night mistake" she slams the door shut leaving me on my own again as I sob and shake from the cold eventually passing out from the blood loss. 

End of nightmare

I shoot up in panic 
"Luna hey relax your ok" Someone says softly while I struggle to breathe. I see a blurry figure in front of me. "your ok" the figure says "Your safe I promise" He says softly "you are ok I promise" he says slowly I start to calm down and when I open my eyes again I see Xavier looking at me softly with worry 
"sorry" I say 
"Don't be. Are you ok?" he asks 
"yeah" I sigh. Stupid fucking nightmares. 
"Come on let's go get a drink" He says getting up. I just get up and follow him. We go to the kitchen where I grab a bottle of vodka "What are you doing?" He asks grabbing the bottle and setting water down in front of me I scowl
"Hand it back" I say annoyed 
"You are not drinking at 3am" he says "Or at all for that matter" he says I look at him with a pout
"please" I say "I'll do anything" I say 
"ok ignore everyone tomorrow and not me" he grins 
"Deal" I say and snatch the vodka back he shakes his head. We sit there for a while silently drinking well me alcohol and him water. 

"Why are you so calm about us being in the mafia?" he asks 
"Not the first mafia I've come into contact with plus I love the thrill" I grin 
"Who was the first?" he asks 
"Russians I was sold to them for a while to pay of my step-fathers depts and just because he could" I say then down a fair bit of vodka 
"Take it easy" he tells me 
"I'm fine you don't need to worry about me" I say 
"Luna I will always worry about you" he says I shrug 
"you really shouldn't" I smile 
"I am because behind that smile is a little girl still trying to heal and drowning herself in alcohol isn't going to fix it" He says I grin 
"I went to a bar and kissed a dude I was a little bit high and drunk then my stalker attacked the guy I kissed but the stalkers friends looked pretty pissed too" I say grinning "Oh and I'm talking to a cute guy called Justin but I don't want to date him he's just nice and his sister is trouble I like her she dyed his hair hot pink" I grin. 
"You did what?" He asks me 
"Yeah I kissed a guy at the bar which caused a fight and then I talked to a guy I met him online but I don't see him as anything more than a friend if he wants to be my friend I don't know I've never had a friend everyone just stayed away from me normally and I got used to being alone. It's weird having a whole bunch of people live with me and talk to me even when you were being an ass hole it was still weird to have so many people with me and they didn't hurt me well physically anyways. It's bad that I'm scared to trust you guys or anyone?" I blabber. 
"Your drunk" He says 
"I'm not just tipsy" I grin he shakes his head 
"come on let's go to bed" he says 
"No I'm not finished" I say downing more vodka he sighs grabbing the bottle from me "Hey" I say frowning at him 
"You aren't drinking anymore you have to sleep and everyone will be pissed at me for even letting you drink plus you will have a bit of a hangover" he says 
"Fine carry me" I say he chuckles amused 
"jump" he stands. I jump onto his back he carries me up to his room and sits me on his bed. I lay down he lays next to me. I see a black figure in the corner 
"Fuck of person" I say glaring at the figure 
"Luna there is nobody there" Xavier says 
"Yes there is" I say 
"Luna you are tipsy close your eyes and go to sleep bambina" he says softly I just nod and close my eyes. Xavier plays with my hair slowly putting me to sleep and I'm out like light.
