La Folla

Prologue

Your parents getting killed in-front of your eyes is hard, but your parents getting killed in-front of your eyes and being adopted by the killer is harder.

Weakness and strength, two different kind of words but similar in their own way. Both strong emotions that describe your current feelings, either it's fear or bravery.

Weakness can be a devil controlling your body without feeling, it can decide your actions and descions that may change your life to better or worse.

It can make you fear lossing your happiness that you're no longer happy from the effort and fear to keep the best times survive more.

But nothing lasts forever.

Words Mo ---My adopter and the one who killed my parents--- said to me, that was always a base for me in my life, there was always a reason why I never felt the kindness of a mother and why he was the on to kill my parents.

Strength is something I never had but always daydreamed of having. I always wanted to be strong, tough and unbreakable like many people that I know.

Strength is something that I've read in stories and heard from Mo and my mother when she was alive.

Mother words were always small, on time, and with no feelings as if that everything that's happened or is going to happen, she predicted it or better she knew that all of this was going to happen.

I remember her words she once said when I fell from our balcony and broke both my right arm and leg. There was no pity in her eyes but they weren't cruel either, they were just cold like she didn't care or I don't know I was young but there was always something in her eyes ---Regret, sadness, and disappointed from anything and everything around her or particularly, me--- That always showed that I was the mistake.

She told me this words that was still ringing in my eyes like the church bell in Sundays "Poor girl, poor Anna. Such a girl that have so much weakness that a country could feed on. Won't you ever grow up and stop your childish behavior. Lavenzi, come here and take this little child to her room and don't let her out until she have no feelings"

I always wondered why I never hated mother but I always loved her despite that she never showed me anything except hatred and coldness but I remember that she was the one that put me in this world and I'm grateful to her for that 'till the day I die.

Death. A word that describes the current status of the person. It can be caused naturally by god's will ---A heart failure, cancer and many other diseases--- or it can be caused by a person that's either your enemy or someone who envies you or maybe that he didn't mean to kill him. Either ways he committed something that changed the lives of many people.

I don't know which category does Mo lay in but like I said he in either ways have changed my life 180 degrees.

Yes I didn't have the most amazing life and I never had the perfect parents that anyone would wish for but at least I had one and I wasn't afraid that one day they would kill me.

I always wondered why Mo was treating me as if I was a queen that he even told me that when he dies I will be the one to take in the Mafia ---That he was now controlling and it was and still from the strongest Mafias in the world after Le Serpantas and The Quarters--- Beside that if I ever wanted anything I didn't have to show it, he can just see it through my eyes. I always wondered how.

He was always by my side even when I was angry at him, I was thinking about leaving the house and just run away from everything in this world maybe to Italy or anyplace but I always returned in my opinion as he will always tell me do whatever I want.

I would always go to his room after that to tell him something but never entered as the sound of his sobs and cries always stopped me with him whispering something like "Please don't leave me, I don't want to lose you too, I've already lost one I'm not ready to lose another"

I never knew who is the other one he lost or why he was that scared about losing me. I wasn't even his real daughter so why was he that much scared, I will never know.

Betrayal. When you hit someone behind his back and he was someone that was close to you but you betrayed him by either spilling his secrets or by killing him, killing the one he loves or simply by not being there for them.

That's was the thing that "My" whole family were accusing me with, that I somehow betrayed Mo and that I'm the only flaw and weakness that he have but the strange thing that Mo never accused me of such thing he was always defending me and telling the rest of the family "Secretly" to shut up.

I never looked at my so said family in the same way the look at me, betrayal no I always looked at them with eyes of weakness and frightened look that they will one day throw me out of the house and then I will have no where to go.

Being an orphan is one of the hardest things in the planet. Being not able to cry on your mother's shoulders when you're scared or sad, being not able to feel the happiness when your father takes you to the first trick or treat in the neighborhood or not being there when your mother and father celebrate their 20th anniversary because they were just killed and they never had the chance to say goodbye.

Sometimes I feel that my life is so similar to the story of Batman as his parents were also killed the same way my parents but my life is not another Marvel fiction story where everything ends happily ever after and the hero spends the rest of his life in peace. It's the life of a women that are trying to fit in the La Folla.
