Forced

Chapter 2

I awoke to the sound of gunshots. I shut my eyes and tried to fall asleep, hoping it was a dream. When the gunshots continued going off, my eyes sprang open and I got up. I heard shouts from outside the room I was in. "Where is she?!" I heard a male voice bellow. I walked over to the door and sat there for a minute. I jumped back and fell when a loud gunshot close to the door. Suddenly a banging sound arose at the door. I put myself into a corner in the room. 

The door crashed to the ground with a crash. Rubble flew everywhere and dust arose from the floor. Two tall, lean figures walked into the room and looked around the room. I assumed they were looking for me. I slapped a hand over my mouth to keep myself from being heard. "Cecila, wo bist du!" a deep, male voice sounded. I popped my head up from where I was huddled and looked at who was here. I immediately stood up and ran to the figure who was calling for me, jumping into their arms. "Tristan! Oh thank god, I thought I would never get out of here." I exclaimed. 

He wrapped his arms around me and squeezed me. "You have no idea how long we spent looking for you. I swear dad was going to go bat shit crazy." he whispered. I looked at the boy standing next to my brother. Who is that hunk of meat?  I nodded my head towards stranger boy. "Who's he?" I questioned. "Oh... he's a.. friend. Yeah, a friend." he spoke rapidly. The boy spoke. "Yeah yeah, I'm a friend, we found her. Let's go, now." stranger boy demanded. Tristan put me down and looked me up and down. I was covered in dirt, bruises and blood. My legs were weak and wobbly. 

I took one step and fell face first on the ground. Tristan gave me this look, a look of.. hatred? Maybe it was for Markus, who did this to me? I have no clue honestly. He threw me over his shoulder and we started walking. Stranger boy was behind us for backup. "Do you have a backup gun? I can still shoot like this." I said. I felt Tristan's chest vibrate. Was he.. laughing? "Are you laughing at me,  Fotze?" I questioned. I felt his head shake no. I felt stranger boy's eyes burning a hole in my back. My head was facing Tristan, my ass to stranger boy. How lovely, first day of meeting this kid and he gets a front row view of my ass. I groaned. 

"Nice panties ya got there, Cec. Purple lace. You have a matching bra too?" stranger boy spoke. I could feel the smirk on his face. My face burned bright red and I smacked it off of Tristan's chest. "Watch yourself, you are entering the danger zone at a speedy rate." Tristan growled. From then on it was silence. We were walking down the hallway when a group of 3 men came around a corner. Stranger boy and Tristan started shooting as the 3 men did the same. One of the 3 got shot in the head. His brains flew everywhere and I cringed. The other two were shot in the leg, then the chest. The boys kept walking nonchalantly. I heard a sound come from behind me, and I shoved my hand into the waist of Tristan's pants. I pulled out a dagger as stranger boy spoke. "Woah, you are really-" he was cut off by the sound of a man screaming behind us. I put my legs up to Tristan's back and backflipped out of his grip. I looked at the potential danger behind us. 

A man was running up behind Tristan, gun ready to shoot. "Stay the hell away from my brother!" I shouted before chucking the knife at the man. It hit him square in the chest. He gurgled as blood came out from his mouth. He was just barely standing. I walked up to him and put my foot on his stomach, steadying my right hand on the handle of the dagger. I placed my left hand on the man's shoulder. I pushed his body down. The dagger emerged from his chest. I looked at it and grimaced. Nasty. I wiped the blood off onto my torn up shirt and looked at the boys. "Well, I guess I can walk now." stranger body nodded, his jaw touching the floor. "Close your mouth boy, you're catching flies. he shut his mouth and turned around. "Lass uns gehen." I muttered. They both turned around and started walking. I shoved my body in the middle of them before we came upon a door. 

I placed my hand on the door handle and looked to Tristan. He nodded. I opened the door and was instantly greeted my whole family. Well, at least everyone who lived in the family house. "Oh my sweet, little Tochter. What happened to you?" my father took my head in his hands. I leaned my body against his. "I'm ok.." I whispered. I pulled away and nodded at him. He gave me a disbelieving look but brushed it off. I sat down in a chair and looked around. "Jesus christ, I was kidnapped, not murdered and brought back to life. Now, what are we going to do about," I motioned around the room and a few dead bodies in it "this." I spoke, nonchalantly. 

My dad stood up and cleared his throat. "Well, I believe it is in the besgt interest for us to return home and lay low for a while. No fighting, no going out in public except for school, work or the store, and no cell phones. We will have radios that will all be connected to each other. You are only allowed to speak to family memebers in the house." I heard murmurs around the room and rolled my eyes. I got up and walked out of the room. "I'll be in the car." I shouted behind me, hoping they heard. 

I arrived at the front door and took in a deep breath. I reached my hands out and pushed it open. I squinted and looked up at the sky. Sunlight. I hadn't seen it in so long. I smiled a little and looked around. Finally, I'm out of that hellhole. I don't even know what this place was, and I was hoping to not stick around and find out. I walked up to my brother's red suburban and got in the back seat. I leaned my head against the window. A few minutes later, the two front doors and the back door next to me opened. My brother got into the drivers seat, one of my cousins, Klaus, got into the passenger seat. 

Tristan started the suburban and we were on our way home. Home, home is a place where you are supposed to feel safe, not threatened. You are supposed to be protected by your family. Home is a security blanket, to most at least, not me though. 

My name is Cecila Vassiloui and I am in a Family Mafia.
