Help Me Remember

02

My eyes were crusty and my body felt heavy. If felt as if all gravity was amplified into pulling my body closer to the earth's core.  I felt like a puppet, it's strings ready to be pulled.

I felt drugged and groggy to say the least. Much similar I'm guessing to being hit by a train and feeling nothing until you realize that you had survived. 

I felt numb. I could tell that I was sitting on a chair , but something rough was rubbing my wrists together. The rope was entangling my hands together and holding them in place at the back of the chair I was sitting on.

I heard the voices of two men speaking in a language that I couldn't understand. They were speaking so quickly,  that I thought for a second that their whole conversation might've been a joke,but that was definitely not the case.

I tried rubbing my wrists together in attempt to slip my hands out of the rope that was holding them in place.  They burnt and I could feel the rope carving into my skin.

I accidentally let an involuntary groan of pain escape my lips, and the two voices that were so easily clouding the atmosphere seemed to stop.

I could here the footsteps of someone making their way over to me, the crunch of the little rocks on the ground under his shoes everytime he took a step. My sight was blurry when I opened my eyes and I couldn't exactly see what as going on around me but I knew that I was in a room with little sunlight.

The man was wearing a fitted black suit with a red tie and looked oddly intimidating. Even though his dark brown hair that was neatly swept to the side gave him more edge to his façade, I knew that hidden behind his brown eyes were complete mischief.
"I see that you're finally awake," he began.
"Seems so," I replied instantly but my voice came out as hoarse and scratchy.

"Where am I and why am I here?"  I asked annoyed.

The man stood up straight and I waited for his reply, but it never came he paced around slowly as if he was thinking of what to say, "Well I can't exactly tell you that," he said vaguely as I waited for him to go on

"Somewhere safe-"  he was interrupted by a very big and very tall man walking trough the doorway.
"Marc Sir, I'm sorry to interrupt but he wishes to see her now," a guy who I am guessing might've been a goon said impatiently.

"What is he talking about," I asked anxiously. "where are you taking me?"

The guy, Marc completely ignored me as he walked around me, untied my hands and lifted me up. I grabbed his rough hand tightly as if I was afraid to fall, because the truth is that I actually was.

My legs were numb.

I decided to follow Marc out of the small room and followed his lead as he helped keeping me up.

I know that I should've been scared and anxious because of  what was happening,  but the truth is that I wasn't.
I just had the feeling that this wasn't some kidnapping, but something rather more important.

We walked down the halls and I realized that we were actually on the inside of a mansion from what I could see so far. We reached the end of the hall and came to a stop in front of a big door.

Marc let go of me and opened the door with ease."Allesandro she's here," Marc said while leaning into the room.
Allesandro?  The backpack guy.

Marc motioned for me to go into the room and I did so. I was going to give this Allesandro guy a piece of my mind.

He was standing at the back of his desk,  his hands folded at his back while he looked out the window.

"Listen here buddy, I don't know who you think you are but you sure as hell are not going to s-"
"Stop," he said softly.

I was in the beginning of my rant when be interrupted me, but I kept on going
"And then ditch me on the side of a road on some random mobsters yard because I know how these things work and-"

"Please st-" he tried again but I kept on.
"I'm just saying that I will help the police trace you even if it's the last thing I d-"

"Virgo," he said and I freezed. "How do you know my name?" he was now facing me.
"Virgo Carlisle,  you were born on the 15 th of November 1998. You attend Asher Highschool in California and you are a good student. Now since I know that much about you already do you honestly think that I'd dump you on the side of,  in your opinion, 'a random monsters yard' and just leave you there when I need you?" he finished off, his Italian accent grazing every syllable he spoke.

"Uh-well," I trailed off as I was at a loss of words "Good then," I finished off childishly.

He walked to my side where I was standing and leaned against his desk with his arms by his sides as support.

"Listen, I know you're confused but I need you to help me with something ,"  he started and took a deep breath before going on.

"I need you to help me make Maya jealous," he starter rubbing the back of his neck in an uncomfortable manner.

Who the heck is Maya? He looked at me in a questionable manner, seeming slightly amused.
Did I say that out loud?

"Yes you did," he sounded amused. "Maya is my ex girlfriend. We dated for a year and a half before we broke up,"  he looked like them breaking up hurt him.  I felt a hint of sympathy for him. I knew that it's hard to lose the ones you love.

"Oh well,"  I said awkwardly "why would you want to make her jealous?"  he gave me a bored look and rolled his eyes.

"Obviously to win her back. And you are going to help me do exactly that," he finished off smirking.

I raised an eyebrow in disbelief "And what makes you think that  I'd help you with that?" I challenged.

He then arched an eyebrow himself and got up from his desk and slowly walked over to my side till he was next to me. He was a little too close for comfort and I couldn't help but feel a little bit intimidated. 

His mouth was right next to my ear and a shiver made its way down my spine when he said the following.

"Because bella, I am mafia," he said triumphantly and I could hear the smile in his voice as if he was proud for being part of the secret society.

I stood still for a few seconds, trying desperately to suppress the sudden fear I felt toward him.

"I-I don't believe you,"  I croaked weakly.
I drew back his body from mine with his hands behind his back and looked me in the eyes.

I was standing in front of an Adonis, and I hadn't even realized.

"Oh it is true, and if you do not help me then I think I would just have to make you," he paused "Dissappear,"

My eyes were wide and my heart was beating rapidly in my chest.

"Fine," I said harshly and folded my arms over my chest. This time I decided that it was my turn to be intimidating and with the courage I had left I walked up to him with a smirk and whispered into his ear "But don't you for a minute think that you have any control over me whatsoever,"  he looked surprised to say the least and I felt very impressed with myself.

Virgo: 1 Allesandro: 0

I turned around and walked to a door on the left side of the room, but to my surprise it didn't budge. I heard Allesandro fake cough to get my attention and there was a huge smile plastered onto his face.

"Dear the door is to your right,"

Virgo: 1 Allesandro: 20
