POISON IVY
Chapter 1
I was born into a world you would never fully understand unless you, yourself was born into it. I was viewed as weakness as soon as I entered the world. But that never stopped my Dad from loving me with his full heart.
But it did stop him from admitting to anyone he had a daughter. I think personally he had hoped for a son. I had brought it up with him once, that I should have been a boy, and he said I was his gift from god and perfect the way I was. He wouldn't change it.
When I was little I could never understand why I had to live separately to him. But he always said a day would come where he would show me his world.
I was ten when I found out Dad was the head of the Mafia and I found out how important my blood was. And it was one my tenth birthday I started training with a gun. Because Dad said I was his apprentice.
An apprentice that the whole world would fear. Whether you lived this life or not. When you heard The Apprentice. You would be scared and the fear that followed would only be natural because Dad said my reputation and the fact he had chosen me to be his Apprentice would speak for itself.
I was fifteen when I made my first kill. After years of training, in special arts and every combat skill possible. I also had five years of shooting practice. Target after target I took out while learning. Being groomed for the day I could take my spot next to my Dad.
I was sixteen when Dad announced to the world he had an apprentice. Someone he was grooming to take over. Because everyone knew Ivan Maddison, didn't have any family. And like Dad expected I was feared. Especially after my targets started dropping. I wasn't scared of blood. I wasn't scared to get physical. I had been trained to take a man out with my hands. So I did what I was trained to do.
Kill and be Dad's right hand.
The only thing I hated about it was I was masked. No one knew my face. Shit I moved so quickly, people didn't know if I was a boy or a girl. All they knew was to be in fear, when I appeared. Why half face skull masked, made headlines. Kids even dressed up as me for Halloween. It was fair to say Dad's plan to make me feared. Worked. And people had a right to fear me. I was trained, skilled and didn't stop when Dad had set a target.
I just hated no one knew I was his daughter. He took his one weakness and chiselled me into a sharp point, so if anyone was to find out about me, I could take them out personally.
But so far no one did. And Dad had planned that when the apprentice, being me, did take over from him, who I was would never been known.
"Ivy are you even listening to me?"
I looked up from my tea. Right I was getting a lecture. "You said something about me taking too many risks?" Which I thought was a stupid thing to even give me a lecture on because the whole point to me living, was to take risks. And more importantly, he expected me too.
"Doing what is expected of you is one thing. Business is business. I give you one weekend off a month and you decide to spend it racing cars at ridiculous speeds. I know you are a skilled driver. Fuck. I made sure you were trained to be. But you using that to be a common street racer, is..." Dad looked at me frustrated and furious.
"Is what Dad?" I pushed my plate away from me. "It's just some fun. It's not like anyone will connect me to it. I race at the bay for Christ sake! Its hours away from here. So stop lecturing me."
