The Guardian of her Life

CHAPTER 3

Angelina

5 years ago

"Angelina! My s mamoy seychas ukhodim! Beregite sebya, sestra!" (Angelina, me and your mom are leaving now! take care of your sister!) My father yelled, I had a big family. My Parents, my younger sister and baby brother. We all live in a big mansion, and this will be the first time that Im staying alone. Well...my little sister is going to stay in mansion for 3 days and then she is leaving to our grandmas house. So in three days this mansion will only be mine, and not only is my family leaving but the staff is leaving too. I already planned what I'll do for next 2 weeks, but without my sister. I walked down the stairs and saw my family was already leaving, and as always my mom had to wear her black pants and white shirt while my father had a suit on. Its 40 degrees outside and he wears a suit.

 Does he ever take a break from wearing a suit? He looked at me and smiled "So you came to say goodbye to us?" "Dad, its not like you are going to Texas. Plus, you arent moving away, you are just going to Miami beach for 2 weeks" I walked downstairs to them. "Have a nice time at the beach." My dad pulled me into the hug, we said our goodbyes before they left. Now I had the whole mansion for myself, sadly my braty sister was still here. God? Help me survive these 3 days with my sister alone. She is 13 but she acts like she is 20 but actually looks like she is 10. 

I went upstairs, hoping to be unnoticed. "Angelina?!" mission failed. God has just slapped me across the face. I turned around only to see my sister who was wearing a night dress and lots of makeup...lots of makeup. "Why are you wearing that?" I crossed my arms, and she just rolled her eyes. "I'm going out to the club" "Club? You are only 13 goddamnit..." "So? I have life" "Katerina, if you go out looking like that there is chance you wont come back again."

 "Stop being so bossy, it's just a little fun" "Yeah fun." I know my sister better than anyone and I know she is dumb but she can also be smart sometimes. But she chosed to be a dunm person. Ever since we were little she couldn't stop talking about how much she wants to go to clubs and have fun. The problem is that she doesnt know what fun is, she thinks fun is going to clubs. She doesnt even know what an actual club is, and what if someone- I snapped out of my thoughts, and noticed Katerina isnt there anymore. She left the house. Fuck. I zoned out again.

 I ran downstairs and grabbed the door handel. Its locked? Katerina probably took the keys and locked the door, and I gaved my keys to mom before she left...I ran to the back of the mansion, good thing we always leave the back door unlocked. I opened the door and rushed to front yard and to the gates. Also locked? She locked the gates? Since when do we have key for gates? Dont tell me I have to jump over the gates now, god dont do this to me...Fuck it. I moved my hair away from face, ita no or never. I took few steps back before running and jumping up to grab onto the gate. Wait. Fuck. Im just holding myself onto the gate doors, Im only the half way there. Half way up...half way down. I need to climb. 

Today is not my day...I started by grabing higher onto the gate and pulling myself up. By the time I reached the top of the gate my hands were sore and it took me atleast 20 minutes. I sat on top of the gate for a little break before I looked down. I never had fear of hights, but I feel like my heart is about to jump out of my chest. Were these gates always high like this? 

I spined my legs to the other side of the gates and somehow managed to climb down the gates, my hands were alrready bleeding but I didnt had time, I had to find my sister before something happens to her. I ran down the street and noticed it was already night time, I hope my sister is okay. By time I made it to the city the streets were already full of people, either drunk or on some kind of drugs. I looked around, hoping to spot her somewhere on the streets but there was no sign of her. 

I pushed myself through the crowed and thats when I spotted her, she was entering a club. Why are they leting a 13 year old girl into club without even asking for her ID? Shit. Thats the club of Marino family, owned by Mr.Marion. I dont know his name but I know he is our enemy, I rushed to the club and made my way in. They didnt even asked me my age, name or anything, but I noticed they didnt let other teenagers or people under 21 in, they looked at me and then turned their head away. They know. A voice in my head spoked.Pull yourself togather Angelian, you got to find your sister. I turned around and started searching for her. Not long after I heard a laugh from right corner, I turned my head towards the corner only to see Valentino Marino. He was sitting there with his brothers and cousins, is it even legal for him to drink? I know this is his father's club but still, it should'nt be allowed. 

He lookwed over at me, he probably felt my eyes on him. We made eye contact, his dark green eyes cutting through my soul, his smirk never fading. His white pearled teeth shining and his blouse was unbottoned, you could see his toned skin and muscles. Was I in club or art gallery?- Pull yourself togather, you have to find your sister. I broked our eye contact and turned my head away, thats when I spotted Katerina, she was sitting on a chair and talking to a guy. I swear, once I get her out of here I'll kill her. But I knew better then to just walk over there and make a scene infront of everyone, I mean-She would make a scene. She would yell and probably pull my hair. I took out my phone when suddenly I felt presence behind me "You already want to give me your number? How charming." A male, handsome voice behind me spoked. 

A shiver went up my spine, I turned around and there he was...Valentino, standing right infront of me. His smirk never left his face, thoes pearly teeths shining under the light. "Who said I was into you?" I asked, crossing my arms. "Oh? You arent?" His husky voice filled my ears, and another shiver threatend to go up my spine. "No. I'm not." "You sure, stellina? " his voice lowered, and I felt my cheeks heaten. "My name is not Stellina, my name is Angelina." I tried hiding the flush on my cheeks by acting like it was too hot, but if I think twice. It is hot in here. A dark chuckle escaped his lips and he leaned closer "I know who you are, stellina.

 Go on, save your sister. We'll meet again one day. I promise" And he left, like nothing happened. His security must have told him that my sister is here, and they probably figured out by now. I turned over to where my sister was, and she was still there. I pulled out my phone but suddenly shooting was heard and lights went out, I ran towards where my sister was and grabbed her by the arm. I heard her scream and she probably thought it was some stranger, as I pulled her towards the exit someone whispered in my ear "Your welcome, Stellina. " I didnt had time to stop or say anything, I just pulled my sister out of the club and ran away. "Angelina?! What are you doing here? How did you got out of the mansion?"

 The heat and excitment left my body and it got replaced with annoyance, "Im not dumn like you Katerina. I have my ways." I had to pull her up the hill and back to our house for next thirty minutes, because she still didnt wanted to go back home and kept insisting to go to another club. The thing she didnt knew was that I had a surprise for her, once we made to the gates of our mansion she looked at me with wide eyes. 

Our grandma was standing there, I looked at Katerina. "I called our granny to take you for next few weeks until our parents return. Your stuff has already been packed and sended off to California, and you'll stay in grannys village." Grandma walked to us at took her hand, "Cmon Katerina. I already informed your parents about your behavior" Two bodyguards got out of a near by car and walked towards us, they just greeted me with a nod before pulling Katerina into the car. I turned back to my granny and she gaved me the keys of the mansion. "Thank you granny." I smiled at her before she left, she got into the car and one of the bodyguards drived them away. Fianlly...peace. I took the keys anf unlocked the gates before getting into the mansion, I guess these 3 weeks wont be that bad.
