Mafia Principessa

Chapter 2

Flashback(emotional and physical abuse mentioned)

"Shoot it,"
" I can't , no no I can't," I shouted with tears threatening to come out.
" Number 13, shoot it, I will not ask again," he commanded.
I looked at the infant one last time before pulling the trigger, to my surprise the gun did not go off. This was all part of his sick twisted games.
He loved to toy with my mind and put me through emotional turmoil. He said it was meant to strengthen me.

He has had me kill many innocent before but never a baby that small. Knowing him he will have it murdered one way or the other. He might just have me strangle it Tommorow. I hate my life, I loathe myself, all that I've become. I'm nothing but a killing machine, worse there is no sense to the killings. We all just kill because he wants us to or because it pleases him to witness us become these monsters. There are about 45 kids in this compound, well some are not really kids anymore. They grew up here and are now dangerous assassins. 45 kids, each number represents someone's identity.

All together we are not 45, well not anymore. Some died during punishments. In that hellhole it was do or die, survival of the fittest. I had felt so hopeless, my father had not prepared me for something as intense as this. I was probably going to die like the rest of them. Each day my soul died slowly all that was left was a beautiful face.

"Come my маленькая бабочка(little butterfly), you did well though a little more obedience would not hurt, there will be punishment for that little tantrum you threw a few moments ago," he says in the most calm voice as he gently strokes my hair.

Flashback over

I woke up filled with sweat, I have not had a nightmare about him in years. It is always about the physically torment they put me through with their punishments. Today was definitely not going to be a good day. I quickly took a cold shower, got dressed and then went downstairs. I'm glad my " parents" weren't there otherwise my day would have been ruined even more. I grabbed an apple and then rode to Sophie's house to pick her up since she cannot drive and Diego is out of town.

She climbed at the back and I gave her my helmet as we drove away she held on tight, more like cuddled, it was too cosy for my liking. I bet she enjoyed having some sort of physical contact with me as I tend to keep boundaries. We were late, which was no surprise, I mean I did have quite the reputation at school.

We both headed to class and she insisted on sitting next to me. I only allowed her because I did not have the energy to argue with her today. The lesson took longer than usual, or maybe I was just drained today. I felt a little sting on my arm, I immediately turned to Sophia ready to murder her.
" Ouch, bitch what was that for, do you have a death wish or something?" I deadpanned.
" Your name has been called thrice on the intercom, I figured you needed to be pulled back to reality."
" Whatever," I said rolling my eyes as I stood up and walked to the principal's office.

I did not even bother to knock, I just barged in and I was meet with two police officers and a milddle  aged  woman.
"Take a seat Miss Galanis"
"I shall remain standing, what is this about Garry?"
"Your foster parents were involved in a car accident and died, we are here to take you in for DNA testing. We hope to find a relative who can take you in," the officer explained.
My facial expression changed, how could they be dead on their own? I was meant to give them that gift. I thought, the news got me really angry. All that waiting for what? They got the easiest way out for goodness sake, such a pity.

They might find my dad when using my DNA, god why did I not think of this before?
"Okay we can go"
I walked to my bike and followed them to the police station where they took my DNA and then did the profiling. I really did not want to get my hopes up. The wait was agonising.
I saw them make a few calls before approaching me.
"Mam the good news is we have found your father and he is more than willing to take you in, he will be here in 3 hours," he said with a smile hoping to cheer me up.

I could not believe my ears. I finally found him my father, father and daughter would be reunited once more.
For the first time in years I felt something I haven't felt before, a little warmth in my cold heart.
