Alexia
My heart is beating and my ears are ringing as I try to get to my feet. My hand wraps tightly around my gun and I feel for the knifes around my tight. The smoke is so dark and it's hard to breathe in.
~the day before~
I got used to living with my family very fast. It was also very easy. With Matteo who showed me love from the moment he met me and Pedro warming up to me, while Nico is already acting like my older brother.
Today Nico fought a little fight inside the gym they have inside their mansion would be fun. Well he is going to lose to his little sister. Nico may be taller and stronger than me, but it's nothing bad that I am small. I trained years to become as good as I am now and there is a reason that I became an assassin.
Because I had it in me.
"You are holding back Nico" I said, not even panting a little bit. We heard the door crack and turned both toward it. Pedro, Luca and Alex were entering the gym. "Are you fighting with our sister" Pedro said, walking toward the mat that we were fighting on.
"You are going to light on her, trust me, go as hard as you want, you won't hurt her" Luca then said, staying a little bit further away than the other. His eyes were completely trained on me. "Alright hermana" Nico whispered and swung his first at me.
I grabbed his arm moving my head toward the side before pulling him closer toward me before my knee met his side. I let go of Nico and let him stumble backwards, holding his side.
His eyes met mine and I just shrugged my shoulders. Nico tried to make a move again but this time I send him straight to the floor. "Merde" he groaned after his body had hit the floor hard. Luca looked pleased, while Pedro laughed at his brother.
"Sis, damn that was insane" Niko then said, after I offered him my hand and pulled him up. "I'm smaller than you which makes me faster to" I just told him and shrugged my shoulders.
I stepped of the mat and walked toward the exit, before I left the gym my eyes met Lucas again. His gaze pulled me in and for a moment I fly as if I could no longer breathe. It took every bit of will power I had to turn my head away from him and walk out of the gym.
The house in general was beautiful. As I slid through the halls and gazed up at the paintings and family portraits I asked my self how my life would have been different if my mother ever told Matteo about me. Would he have took us in, maybe even married my mother?
There were so many unspoken thinks in this house and so many questions I yet had to find answers too. Because who even was I. I was Alexia Hernandez's, but my life at been a lie. I was so much more than the orphan who had lost her mother and whose father had been unknown.
I was so much more than the young girl fighting in an underground fight club and making a name for herself. The paintings on the wall showed my family history and if it wasn't for certain facts I would have never found out who I was.
I closed my eyes again and felt the exhausted from the last few days. "Alexia, there you are. Your brother just told me you beat Niko" my father said from behind me and I opened my eyes again.
"I'm just simply better than him, what can I say" my dad laughed at that and nodded. "You look exhausted, maybe you should go and take a nap and relax a bit" he pulled me into a hug and placed a kiss on top of my head.
"I think I should really do that. Thanks dad" I made my way up the stairs and toward my room, closing the door behind me and falling straight into my bed. When I closed my eyes I saw my mother and I imagined how my life could have been if things just went differently.

My had was hurting and I could not breathe wehen I woke up. My body was shaking and when my eyes napped open I knew why. Gunshots. Too many. Too loud. Not in my dreams. No thy were real. "Shit" I whispered and jumped up.
I walked over to the door and held my ear against it. Listening. I could hear voices. Too many of them. All at once. How was I supposed to get out of here.
I walked over to my nightstand, pulling out my gun and grabbing my knifes, wrapping the holster around my tight. I closed my eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. I could do this, I had one this before.
My heart is beating and my ears are ringing as I try to get to my feet. My hand wraps tightly around my gun and I feel for the knifes around my tight. The smoke is so dark and it's hard to breathe in.
Luca DeAngelo
Nobody realised the moment that those guys got into the house and now no one knew were alexia was. "We need to leave now" Alex told me, wrapping his hand around my arm and trying to pull me out of the house.
"Go, I will get alexia" and with that I ripped my arm free from his hold and ran up the stair. My gun tightly inside my hand, pointed in front of me. I hit everyone who fit into my way, knowing that they were send by someone to kill us.
If they had the money and skills to get into one of Mateos estates they really were dangerous. Which meant that we all had to leave as fast as we could. But not without alexia.
Smoke bombed were set if and it was hard for me too see. I made my way down further the hall were alexia's room was located. My breath stopped when I spotted a small figure laying on the floor.
"Shit" I said and ran over to her. A few of them were still left and I could hear their voices, but I needed to get her out of here. I looked her over briefly before I picked her up and held her close to my chest.
It would be hard to shit like that, but I would make it work. More gunshots went of and I leaned closely against a wall. "Everything is going to be fine tesero" I whispered and pulled her even closer toward my body. I looked around the corner and saw that it was clear.
If I was fast enough I could make it down the stairs and out if the house. I took a deep breath and then I ran down the stairs. My steps were loud and they would hear them, but I just needed to get outside and have a better chance with her safe.
I pushed open the front door and ran toward a bush. I placed her carefully on the grass and loaded my gun again, hiding next to her. After a while the gunshots stopped and I took my phone out. "Luca" I heard a familiar voice yell and raised my head. "We need to leave. Di you have my sister" Pedro asked and I nodded. I picked alexia up and Pedro walked toward a car in garage.
Mateo and Niko were already waiting there and when they saw alexia in my armes the let out a loud breath. Alex stood next to them and when he saw me he choke his head and looked at me like he wanted to kill me. "Let's get out if her, I think he need a doctor too"
Matteo nodded at my words and opened one of the car doors for me to get inside with Alexia in my armes. When I looked down at her she looked so helpless, a sign I had never seen before. At least not like that. A slight bruise was forming on the side of her head.
