My breathing was rapid it felt like I was gasping for a breath of air. It felt like I had just gotten done with a hard workout but I could feel my heart beat slow down.
A wave of fatigue washed over my body making me feel like I was going to pass out.

I squeezed Lorenzos hand. He looked down at me and with concern on his face taking a moment before peicing two and two together. he patted my face a couple of times saying "Stay awake, Stay awake" my eyes got droopy and started closing "Gaurds!" I heard a deep mans voice say before my eyes shut compleately.

I felt the familiar pounding in my head. One that is not uncommon for me, but everytime it happens It feels like death would be more satisfying. I felt a lukewarm wash rag swipe around my face down my neck and onto my chest.

it gets closer down to the valley of my breast I grabbed the hand stopping it from going any further I opened my eyes getting a quick flash of white before my eyes focused. "Hey its okay its just me Chipmunk" Giovanni said pulling his hand away. I let out a sigh of relief thanking the gods it was him and not some random creep doctor.

"How are you feeling?" he asked me giving me a cup of water. I drink the water letting the soothing cold liquid go down my throat. "Horrible" I said my voice was still scratchy and it felt like I had a fire down my throat. "What happened?" I asked looking at the bandages on my hand. they were blood stained but you could tell they were new.

"We were in that guys car and you fained due to blood loss. turns out they didnt stitch you up they just put bandages on you." I nodded not really wanting to talk anymore but still curious. "Oh and guess what" Giovanni mumbled. his voice got quieter almost like we weren't suppost to be talking.

I raised my eye brows and sat up facing him. "If that guy would of been their we would have been sent to a laboratory where they would have killed us and experimented on our brains" I jaw dropped for a split second. "How do you know this?" I asked

"I heard that guy talking with one of his body guards, were lucky he was their. originally the idea was the cps worker was going to get him to protect a laboratory so he could experament on us. but the other guy said no and then made his son watch the door so we wouldn't come in then beat the cps worker up" Giovanni explained leaning forward.

"Does lorenzo know? where is he?" panic set place in my body. "He's okay set down. He's getting questioned." I looked around for lorenzo. "You just let him go by himself!?" i took the IV out of my arm and swung my legs over the bed pushing myself up.

i alost fell to the floor due to my leg not being fully healed. giovanni helped me up picking me back up and putting me back into the bed "he's fine Elara!" Giovanni saud grabing my face making me look at him. "The doctor said you are to stay in bed and get rest" giovanni demands going around the bed and getting the IV and putting it back in my arm and wrapping a bandage around it.

Giovannis always been good with medical stuff. I think he should be a doctor but what do I know I've only grew up with him?

The doctors walk in with Lorenzo and the Man. "Boys." Is all he said and they exited the room. I guess all they can do is listen to him were in kind of a pickle.

He walked over to to chair while the doctor checked my information on the computer. The man started writing stuff down. "My name is Leonardo I'm the Don of the Italian Mafia." He said looking at me

"Elara." My responses were short and blunt. I didn't know this man and Im damn sure not going to tell them anything especially about my boys.

"I already talked to the other two while you were out. Their names are Lorenzo and Giovanni? Correct?" He cocked an eyebrow at me waiting for response I gave a small nod.

"And how old are you Elara?" "Fourteen. Where are my boys at?" He wrote that down and smiled. "They are outside of the room two feet away from the door. I just wanted a chance to speak with y'all privately" he commented rolling up his sleeves.

Mhm.

"You and yours friends work with the Russian Mafia as assassins correct?" I nodded again. Okay. Who spilled? It was probably Lorenzo he can't keep a secret to save his life.

"Okay then" he closed the book and got up "would you like crutches, a wheelchair or your friends to help you get up."

"Giovanni, Lorenzo!" I yelled for them as they walked in. "My house is connected to the hospital so it shouldn't be a long walk" I nodded.

They helped me up and i put my arms around both their shoulders I groaned in pain as I applied pressure to my right leg

I'm going to have to stay off my leg for the rest of my life.....ughhhh.
