Checkmate

The Butler Part 2

I stand from the tables and walk towards the front door of the house. Walking towards the door I swing it open, almost off the hinges, and continue to walk down the large and curvy driveway.

"Madeline!!" I hear Alessandro call my name as well as his pants as he tries to keep up with me.

He manages to get in front of me and places his hands on my shoulders.

"We don't know that any he's said is true" he says through clenched teeth, trying to catch his breathe.

"Leave me alone" I say in a low voice.

He takes a step back, "where are you right now?" He asks rolling up his sleeves.

"I don't know" I state. My voice is flat and carries no emotion.

He tries to place a head on my shoulder again but I step back this time.
"You should leave me alone" I say and walk around him.

"So what if your mother was a bloody whore! It doesn't change who you are! It doesn't make you any more or less fit to be the person you are now!" He yells as I stop walking.

"I know you don't believe a word he was saying, not truly. He wants to use you because you're the huntress not his daughter!" I turn and hit Alessandro's face with all the anger I had raging inside of me.

I watch my knuckles bleed as he falls to the four day and touches his bleeding lip.

He gets up quickly and wipes away the blood trailing down his jaw.
"So you want to play mean? Not my fault you're the only thing everyone is afraid of. I mean, if I'm being honest," he shrugs his shoulders and takes a step towards me. " which I am. I think you're nothing" I turn and hit him again.

He flies across the driveway and lands in against the trunk of a tree.

"Shut up! Or this wont end well for you!" I yell, taking a few more steps towards the gate.

He runs at me and grabs my arm. I turn, grabbing his arm and flip him over onto his back. He groans and lays there for a minute.

"You leave now.. don't come back! No one will want you!" He yells as I open the gate.

Out of the corner of my eye I see him trying to get up from the blow I just gave him but that didn't stop me from pushing passed the gate and onto the street.

Jonathan's POV

I catch the frisbee from dad and watch Alessandro walk up the driveway and into the house.

"Johnathan go to your room and stay there" dad looks at me with a serious glare and I run past the blood and rush up to my room.

I wait a few minutes before tiptoeing to the fourth step where I can hear their voices coming from the kitchen.

"She did this to you?!" Dad asks Alessandro.

"Yup your kids a bitch" I gasp but cover my mouth with two hands trying to cover up the sound. He had used a forbidden word.

"My son is in the house, please watch your idioma"

"Sorry Amodio but you know I'm right" I hear the freezer open and close.

"Perhaps it was something you said?" Dad is always good at lectures, I tell myself.

"Maybe..." he mumbles and I can't hear anything anymore.

After a minute or two, no one is talking. I look across the room and see the girl standing behind the wall that leads to the kitchen. She winks at me and I know it's my time to leave.
