Some time ago.
Azriel

I went through some papers I had on some activities of some gangs. Just then I heard a knock on the door.

"Hey." Debbie said.

"You finally showed up again."

"Well yeah, we need to talk about Fer."

I groaned in frustration.

"Ok, what about her."

"Azriel, she's just too young to get involved in all this trouble let her go, now."

"Do you really think I'm keeping her here just for the fun of it. You and I both know there's a traitor if not some traitors in the gang."

"I know but......."

"Let me finish." I said cutting her off.

"I don't have power only in this city but in others which means my enemies are not only here. I can't let her go just yet because if I do she and my gang will be in a lot of danger. If my enemies were to get hold of her my she might as well be our end."

"Does this have anything to do with Freya? Fer isn't Freya you know."

"I couldn't save Freya but I'll save Maria Fernanda."

"What if in doing this you end of having feelings for her or vice versa."

"That won't happen. I'll make sure of it."

"So what exactly do you want to tell me Debbie. You know I and your brother aren't exactly on good terms."

"Fer, I know a part of you thinks Azriel is a monster but he isn't. He's actually a nice guy."

"I find that hard to believe. Azriel might be a great brother and friend but that doesn't make him a good person."

"Still you can't deny the fact that you care about him. I didn't forget what you said when you didn't know I'm his sister. You said I should keep James and leave Azriel for others."

"When I said others I didn't mean me. What's the essence of this discussion anyways."

"I'm just trying to let you understand Azriel. You might think he's enjoying keeping you as a prisoner or that he's in need of a hacker like you but that's not the case."

"Go on." I said.

"If any of the rival gangs or even the police found out what you did. They, would do even the impossible, to get hold of you to use you to destroy him and then dispose of you. So to cut it short Azriel is doing this for the safety of both you and his gang."

"I don't need his protection."

"You kinda do Fer, at least for now. Give him a chance Fer. Stop seeing him as the dangerous and feared gang leader see him as the great brother and friend."

She continued

"You have the same light she had before she died. Only that your light is much brighter. She made him so happy."

"Who is she? Tell me more... About her I mean."

"He needs you to light up his way
and lead him to the light. I know you can do it Fer."

"I don't understand."

"You will soon enough. I'll probably be leaving today Fer. Take care of yourself and him."

With that she left my room leaving me wondering, what just happened.
