~First Day Of School~
Madison:
HEARING THAT ANNOYING ALARM SOUND, I rolled over and clicked the sleep button on my phone. Groaning I rolled out of bed, stretching my aching limbs. It's been almost a month since my mom and dad told me about their mafia group, Red Panthers, which didn't make sense, since panthers are normally black, but I guess the red meant blood or something, it seemed as if it all happened yesterday.
~Flashback~
"So what does all of this mean?" I questioned, it's been about a week since my birthday, and my mom and dad were taking me and the rest of the group through 'initiation faze' which was basically just them lecturing us on how the group came to be, what they stand for, and blah blah blah.
"Alright, this is where you come in Madi" my dad told me "You're gonna be 1 of three things for the time being until you become Heda, or leader, which is A) A decoy B) A fighter or C) An inforcer" my dad spoke "But, all members have to prove themselves worthy, regardless of you being my daughter" my dad spoke and I nodded "You can see why we didn't tell Jo" I nodded again.
"So what exactly are we doing now?" Dean questioned and Ash nodded while the others stayed silent "Well, now that you know the history of the group, and some info, you will read this info sheet of members, and their code names, then you will be assessed, and if you make it in, you will get your name and tattoo, and that's it" my mom said and showed us her tattoo.
It read 'Reina' and had above it was the outline of a panther in red. "Alright, so what's this assessment thing?" Noah questioned "That's a good question, it depends on what you would like to be and represent." my mom spoke "For example, there are the fighters, the hackers, the long range fighters, one's with weapons, there is no end, whichever fits your personality" my dad spoke.
"So that is what we are doing today, based on your answer, you will have a certain assessment to see if you will make it, now, no one in this room has to participate, but I am sure you all want to" my mom spoke and we all nodded. "We will start here, say your name, age, and preference" my dad said and got a recorder.
"My name is Zachariah Smith, call me Zac, I am 18 years of age, and I want to be a far range fighter" my dad nodded and mouthed the word 'Sniper' to my mom. "My name is Dean Jenkins, I am also 18, you can call me Dean, and I would like to be the inside spy guy behind the computer" he said with a nod, my dad made a face 'Hacker' he spoke to my mom.
"My name is Madison Allen, I am 18, call me Madi or else, and I chose to be a fighter, it'd be cool to have a sword" I said but shook my head at the last part, too animistic, is that even a word? "My name is Noah Matthews, I am 17, sadly, and I would like to be someone who specializes in weapons, and fighting a little?" he said and my dad nodded.
"My name is Asher King, I am also 17, and I would also like to be a hacker, and maybe a long range fighter" he said and my dad cut the tape. "Also, if you aren't that good at what you chose, but show potential, you will take skill classes after school everyday" my dad said and we nodded. "Alright, now that is over, go rest, and be up early tomorrow for your assessment." my dad said and we all nodded and split up going to our rooms to get much needed rest.
~The Next Day~
I opened my eyes, well tried to open my eyes, but all I could see was black. What the fuck was going on "HELP!" I tried to scream but it came out muffled, something was around my mouth. A rag? No. Tugging my hands I could feel rope on them and the same for my feet. I waited around for someone to come in here, but after what I think was 10 minutes no one came.
'Alright fuck this' I thought to myself and thought of a way I could get out. After a few moments of thinking I wiggled around, trying my best to feel the material of the chair I was sitting in. I could tell it was wood by the feeling of it.
'3, 2, 1, now' I said in my head and lifted my butt as high as I could and slammed the chair down, it smashing into pieces in the process. I quickly slid my hands under my butt around my legs to untie the rope around my feet, after pulling the blindfold down. Once I succeeded in doing that, I took the rope off my hands and my mouth.
Standing up, I looked around blinking a few times "Thank god for those cop and killer shows otherwise I wouldn't know what to do" I sighed and glanced around again. The only door I could see was off to the far right, so I ran towards it, being careful of any hidden alarms. I made it to the door, and twisted the handle, which of course didn't open.
I felt around my hair and pulled out the bobby pin I had in yesterday "Thank the lord I fell asleep without taking my hair out" I said quietly and shoved the bobby pin in the lock. After a while of fiddling around with it, it unlocked and I opened the door.
I entered a brighter room than the dungeon or whatever I was in and immediately seen about 2 or 3 people sitting at this small table, and the automatically looked over to me. "She escaped, you know what that means" one guy said to the other and they all stood up.
"What's goin' on fellas? A party?" I spoke and one narrowed his eyes at me, coming closer he tried to grab me but I ducked under his arms and kicked his shin, spinning around, I kicked the back of his knee and while he was on the floor, I wrapped my legs around his neck and squeezed, and he soon passed out.
The other two gaped at me, and one pulled out a gun, we were all by the little table and I shivered, having a gun pointed at me like this is scary, but I have no time to be scared. I grabbed the gun, and twisted it around, along with his hand, then used my other hand to knock the gun out of his hands and kick it to the other side of the room.
Letting out a breath of relief I flipped the guy over into the table, kicking him hard in the stomach. The other guy lunged and grabbed me from behind. I struggled for a minute before I threw my head back, and he let go, as I probably broke his nose. Spinning around just as quick I punched him in the face.
It kept going like this for a few minutes until he lunged to grab me again. It seemed like everything started to move in slow motion as I stepped to my left side by bringing my right foot to the side of me, I grabbed his fist and the back of his neck and used all my might to swing him. He landed on the ground face first and I quickly wrapped my legs around his neck until he too passed out.
Searching for keys in his pockets, and coming up empty handed, I searched the other two guys, and the one who was sprawled out on the table had them and I blew a piece of hair out of my face "That is no way to treat a lady" I spat out the little bit of blood in my mouth when one of those goons got me on my lip.
Grabbing the gun off the floor I tucked it into my pants and put my shirt over it, who knows who I might have to shoot. Unlocking the door I walked out, seeing some more doors, and a flight of stairs. Deciding to go up the stairs, since I seen an arrow that had the word exit, written on it, I shrugged and slid that door, which was heavy, open, and stepped out seeing my parents study. "What the fuck?" I questioned "You pass" my dad cheered as he came and hugged me "That was the assessment?" I questioned and he nodded.
"And you passed with flying colors, sending you to England was good for you" my dad spoke and I nodded "I was scared I was gonna have to shoot someone, but at the same time, I didn't have time to be scared" my dad nodded "Well you passes, along with him over there" he nodded to Zac who opened one of his eyes from his position on the couch.
"What was that thing we were in?" I questioned "Well we had that underground chamber dungeon thing built, with many different rooms, but they all lead to this study, from behind here." my mom spoke and my dad moved the bookcase aside "Now, all we have to do is wait for the rest of your goon friends."

I really like this chapter, and I decided to have this whole Mafia group thing as a plot instead of that show and stuff like it was before, because one, badass Madi is to die for, and two it's more fun to read and write. Also as I go through and look at past chapters it makes me want to hurl, they are so bad. ALSO IF YOU DID NOT KNOW THERE WILL BE FOUL LANGUAGE IN THIS BOOK, AND FIGHTING SCENES THAT MIGHT BE TOO DESCRIPTIVE FOR SOME, that's it. Also, I would kill for a taco right now.
