prohibitos autem amorem ~ forbidden love

February 5th 1994, St. Burnside hospital, 10:36 am

"Breathe, Honey, Breathe. You can do this, you're so so strong."

"Come on Mrs.Moretti almost there"

In just a few more painful pushes and deafening screams, she heard the song only angels could compose. It felt as if the whole world went slow. The sound mothers dream of hearing on that special day, the beautiful sound of their newborns innocent cry as it takes its first breathe into the world.

"It's a baby girl" one of the female nurses tell the doctor. "What are you gonna name her?"

Panting and out of breathe from her recent 7 hour labor she looks into her husbands eyes, and as if they had mind linked, he nodded agreeingly. "Luciana. Her name is Luciana Moretti"....daughter of Gang leaders Amadeus and Elizabeth Moretti.

22 years later

"Damnit Luciana" my opponent, Jase, seethes through his teeth as I yet again beat him in the training rink.

"What's that now 0 to 12?" I asks rhetorically and laugh, a forced dramatic laugh, shoving my win and his defeat in his face. "You're never getting out of here when you fight like a bear cub"

"Screw you it's not fair, you always beat me. I don't even know why it's still legal to go against you." He says holding his side where he was knocked down and limping on his right leg where he landed awkwardly.

"Awh Jasey, now you're just being a flirt" I wore a smile full of pride

"Ha.Ha.Ha." He stifles a laugh and winces in pain "Go get the fucking nurses I think I'm internally bleeding."

I turned on my heals and jogged to the health center where I met up with nurse Patricia, my favorite nurse, to get Jase the heavily needed medical attention he probably doesn't need.

"Hey Patricia" I sneak up behind her. Patricia jumps and grabs ahold on the place right above her heart

"oh my goodness Lucy! You scared the pigeons out of me!"  Pigeons?  "What is it you need sweetheart?"

Nurse Patricia was an old friendly women, I've known her since I was a baby. She was like a grandmother to me.

"It's Jase, he's crying like a little baby again. 'ooooo! Im internally bleeding! Oh please Luciana please get me help!'" I reenacts the scene in a high pitch voice.

"Oh deary, you really should go easy on that poor boy before you kill him"

"Ha as if. That child could get mauled and still would have something annoying to mutter out of his as-" Patricia let out a long gasp signaling me not to finish what I was about to say.

"-tronaut. Astronaut....that's what I was going to say."

"Luciana any day now!" I let out a deep groan

"I'll go get the others so we can patch him up.....again" Patricia chuckles.

I watch as Patricia goes to a huddle of nurses. They talk and some of them chuckle before one of them grabs a gurney and they head out to aid Jase. I run out of the tent and to my house where my parents, my sister , and I stay.

The second I made it through the cabins door I heard a scream so loud I knew it had to have been my sister. I ran through the tiny house and up the stairs and waited.

"Ah! Help someone help!"

I ran towards the sound of the screams which happen to be back downstairs and in the living room. I gasped, eyes watering as my heart practically stopped. The sight was something pure out of children's nightmares and something I thought I would of never had seen In my life,let alone my sister.
