"Caitlin....Caitlin... listen to me. Don't....don't do it. It wasn't worth then and it isn't worth now." I was holding my twin, trying to convince her in the best possible way.

"Look at me. Look at us we have come so far and now you want all that back. All that; from what we have run our entire lives. Dad didn't do it for him, he did it for us. Our safety. You want to go back and forget the pain, the loss... you want revenge isn't it? Tell me don't just stand there and with your head down. Don't lie to my face; just blurt out the truth you don't have to lie to your family." Tears sliding down our faces. We looked into each other as there was no shield. We could see through the pain, the loss, the fear, but most of all the fire of vengeance.

"Yes Catherine.... Yes. I need a closure with this and if by vengeance I get my closure so be it. It wasn't his age, wasn't his time god dammit. I was not ready; we were not ready for him to go. But they took him and I will not hide out here when I can take my revenge with those fucking low lives. Nothing you say will change the fact that our father is dead. So either you come with me and we do it together or I'll go alone and wipe their ass from the face of earth." She crashed the glass of water on the floor shattering it into tiny splinters that twinkled in the glory of lamp above.

"Caitlin I never took you as a dumb one. You think you can waltz in there in the middle of a fucking feud in Greece and point out your candy and say 'hey it's me your death, do you have any last wish?' No you just can't. They aren't some druggies or a mob of stupid addicts. Those men out there they are the ones who exemplify the word 'ruthless' and if that's how you intend to die, I'm not in." I shouted my lungs out I could feel the drop of sweat slipping down my throat. Caitlin was standstill by the kitchen counter with her eyes blood shot red.

"You always undervalue me sis. I'm not going to waltz into my enemy's territory but I am surely waltzing in papau's house. Two weeks back at the funeral papau invited us whole as a family, but you and mom refused it. Later two days back he told me that after dad it's the eldest heir that takes over the business and family. But you are not interested in heading the family so I guess the next in line is me sis and I'm not giving it up to those suckers. Papau's has made a deal with me. If I come back and start heading the family, he promises to get me my revenge. I don't see any wrong and to my advantage grandpa will drag that son of a bitch to my feet where I can happily burst his balls and feed them to the alligators." She had a wicked smirk that could only be rage driven.

"You are not seeing through this in a clear sense. Grandpa will take his revenge whether you head the family or not. It's not up to you. He is trying to drag you in. And remember one thing once you're in you're in for life. And if you take up the underboss position you sign in your life and soul to that man. Don't forget that he has a personal vendetta and if you join in it there is no turning back, there is no out, there is no mercy, but only one Omertà."

"I know that and so I am not saying anymore. Bye sis and take care of mom." She pulled her haversack and walked out.

I was paralysed. She left us. She chose him over us. She chose vengeance over family, she chose death over life. I pulled myself and ran screaming behind her.
