Family Code

Chapter 6 - There is change in the air

In the Greek mythology the Moirai, or most commonly known as the fates, were the daughters of Zeus, king of the gods and Themis, the godess of divine order. Three sisters, one to spin the thread of life, one to measure it and wave it and the last one to cut the thread and end the life.

Fascinated by them since his early years, Stefano named his club after them, the divined entities that answered to none, nor to mortals nor to gods. The once that had free rein to play with the life of others. It was a fitting name realy. It reminded him, in a way of his own family, how they themselves playee gods to peoples lives.

Tonight, much like every other Friday night,the lines were long, created by men and women eager to enter. Just like every other night,it filled him with pride. "The Moirai" was his jewel, something that he had created on his own, his only help Lukas.

The entrance was guarded by three bouncers. Two on each side of the doors and one in the middle to mange the people that were going in and out. There were others as well, both inside and outside of the club, all hand picked and selected by Stefano.

The group of four bypassed the line and headed straight for the entrance. The bouncer didn't even blink befor steping side ways allowing his boss and the other three to enter. The two he knew. Lukas Giovanni was Stefano's right hand and Elena was a regular in the V.I.P list. The third one on the other hand, he had never seen before. She was to him, a mystery.

Not long after they arrived, a man approached Stefano and Luka. Neither of the girls thought much about it and ignored the conversation, absorbing themselves in their own.

Soon, Lukas came along telling them to go on inside and that they will meet them soon.

"Stefano and I have something to take care off."

He didn't offered details and they didn't ask. They both knew that they would get nothing out of Lukas if he wasn't willing to tell. Maby the would had been able to persuade Stefano, but never Lukas. He was a strong believer that the women of the family shouldn't be getting involved.

This has brought up countless of arguments, esspesialy between him and Elena.

"Let's go Rina. No reason to stand in the entrance like lost puppies."

To Arianna it was clear that this last minute change in plans had shifted her freinds mood. She wasn't angry, but she was frustrated, yet it didn't let it affect her. Tonight she was celebrating that she got her best freind back.

"The way I see it, we have two choices. One we go to the ViP room, amazing as it is but almost everyone in there knows my last name and noone will dare to approach, except our own. The other one is at the main room, surrounded by sweaty people and barely able to move but we have anonymity. Much more fun."

There was a dangerous glimpse in her eyes. Elena had said it herself, she wanted to dance and she could hardly do that alone.

"Are you actually giving me a choice?"

"No."

As soon as they passed the doors from the hallway to the inside of the club, loud music vibrated through their bodies. Nothing else could be heard above the music. Grabbing each others hand they made their way to the dance floor, drowning themselves in the endless sea of bodies.

They keeped dancing all their thoughts and worries away. There was something powerful in the moment. It allowed you to disappear, become someone else, something that was only guided by the rhyme.

After the passing of few songs, they made their way to the bar. It was quiet there, you could actualy hear what the person next to you was saying.
