The Broken Mafia

Chapter 1 Deadly Silent

I was woken up by the sound of alarm. It really irritated me but I had to set it to wake up on time. Lazily,  I stood up from my bed and stalked off to washroom.

When I opened the door, I saw myself staring at Tom Cruise. Note the sarcasm. I cheered, "Geez man, you look hot!" while brushing my teeth I kept talking to my 'Tom Cruise' reflection. When I was done, I heard my mom say in her angelic voice, "Ash honey, come downstairs breakfast's ready!" I changed into a plain T. Shirt and pajamas and went downstairs.

My mother was putting the breakfast on dining table, the pleasant aroma entered my nostrils making my stomach growl. I said, "Good morning, mom!", she replied, "Good morning, Ash honey!" I pouted and argued, "Mom.....please don't call me that,  it seems as if you are calling a girl and now I'm 12 years old, if my friends heard this nickname I would die out of embarrassment!" As a response she chuckled. Then she called Dad and Anna down stairs.

We were a small family,my parents, me. And my elder sister Anna. Anna was totally totally opposite of me. She was serious kind of personality, well I call her a nerd though she's 6 years elder than me. Both of them came and sat  on their respective places around the dining table.

We were silently devouring our food when we heard loud thumping at our door as if someone was hitting their fists against it. It caused Anna and I to flinch. My Dad wore an expression of scared, worried and pain. Then I heard a grave voice yelling, "Come out you bastard Calvin! This is your end, you can't escape me anymore!" why was someone was abusing my Dad, what was going on? I was feeling horrible. Dad commanded us to go to our room and lock ourselves and we instantly ran towards our rooms.

I had locked myself in my room,  my heart was racing at the speed of lightning. I heard the sound of front door of our house breaking. I knew something was wrong, my entire body was shivering from fear. I heard that grave sound again hurling abuses at my Dad and then there was a gunshot, someone was hurt as there was a scream of pain. I realized that it was my Dad who was hurt. I wanted to save him but what could I do,  I was totally helpless. There were mourning cries of my mom and Anna, after sometime I heard two more gunshots and everything went silent- deadly silent.

I slowly opened the door of my room to find that the hall was empty, tears kept rolling down my cheeks, slowly I moved downstairs. I screamed at top of my lungs, "Mom! Dad! Anna!", they were drenched in pool of their own blood. I kept shaking their bodies in hope that they would wake up from their sleep but I did not know that they had slept permanently.

I heard foot steps behind me,  before I could turn around, I felt something was thrown over me covering  me from head to toe. Everything was dark and then someone lifted me and placed on their shoulder like a sack of potatoes. I felt some one shake me, when I opened my eyes I saw my assistant Shen. He whispered, "Are you okay, Mafia, here take this glass of water."I took the glass from his hands and gulped the water. Though my room was well air conditioned but there was beads of perspiration o  my forehead and I was panting. I replied," I'm okay.... "  How hard I try but I can never forget that black day,  12 years have passed and now I'm 24 years old. I'm the ruthless Mafia, Ashton Crave. Everyone fears me, I'm the worst nightmare anyone can ever have but yet I cannot get out of this nightmare!
