Any magical blood I may be having was turning into icicles. My poor parents, they were being shown graphic videos of what occurred here, and my brother was getting classic prisoner treatment. They wouldn't survive this. And where was I? Well, thanks for asking, I was in another cell, and I could see this, through video feed. They told my mother her history.
Wait,let me start again, how I got captured you might want know? Because sometime back, I was a ninja. I was hitting and smashing and thrashing people to dust. But some moron, came up from behind Adri, and gave him a shot of something. His adrenaline suddenly died down. I was pretty sure, I could see him crumble. Now that really wouldn't do. I went to him, to get him out of harm's way, but instead got the both of us tied and captured. What was it with these guys and ropes. Talk about watching too much of Christian Gray.
I tried to keep up my good humor as much as I could. That was until I realised, that my boyfriend, that oaf, was dying, bastards, poisoned him. And my parents knew everything I kept from them, in so far. My father being my father, would never believe that nobody had touched me. Well, I'd have to deal with it as it came.
It wasn't until George senior came to my prison, that I realised that it was a two way video feed. I'd have to be careful, now, I didn't only have to protect myself, my family's sanity depended on me.
I knew consciously, that in such a situation, I needed to keep a cool head. But George wouldn't relent, he said," Lookie here, I told you, stay with me, and all you love will live. You broke the rules, like your stubborn grandma, you know what happened to her here, what she was made to witness. Oh, I hope Maria's sister, well, she's as good as Maria, or it's going to be no fun. And that boyfriend of yours, I'm going to let him loose, on you,....I really want to see, can you save yourself, from the intended one. Can you save your "family" from me?"
And that finally snapped something deep dark and primal, within me. It was crazy. I can't as usual remember too much from that day, but I'll tell you what I can recall.
Everything in my eyesight, sharpened. I could focus on minute details, my parents screaming and crying, my brother, breathing heavily, Adri, growling, and breaking something, and of course, George Cianti, laughing. Well, I'll see who has the last laugh. I looked up at him, I could feel his heartbeat, first accelerate, and then shoot, because fear, is another thing that makes your heart race. I knew, in that moment, that, inspite of everything he had done, he was scared. Scared that his past would catch up with him. Scared, that the crimes of his family, were about to turn around and bite him in the ass. Afraid witless, that I was finally here, the prediction would be perfect, I would end this, once and for all. And then I saw resolve. He knew what I was going to do to him. I knew what I was doing to him.
Adri burst into the room, growling and snapping, and holding up my glasses? Weird. He gave them to me. And I saw him clearly for the first time. His face was distorted, but in a beastly way. He had whiskers, like a cat. I continued looking upwards. His eyes, wow, they were beautiful, they were so black. Like octopus ink into 10. It was crazy. He looked at me, and his expression was pained, like I was about to attack him, or run or both.
I did the only thing I could think of that would assure him. I flirted with him, and blatantly so. " Hey, new look, nice...you mind taking half of that room, so I can focus on getting everyone out, also, ( I leaned in) does the beastly side growl and come out while I'm doing unspeakable things to you in the bedroom!!" I think I just sent part of him in shock. He did nothing for a whole minute,and suddenly squeezed me, into a giant hug. He put his nose in my hair and took a deep breath and I heard," I love you, Cass." I was about to look up and say that I loved him back, and big time. But when I did look up, I realised, he hadn't said anything, just staring at me. I was about ask him what, when I heard a gunshot.
" Oh that's just great, the dog picked his forever bitch, now, that, that plan is foiled I guess I'll just have to move to your mother."
Ah well, I was really going to kill this guy. Slowly.
I locked eyes with Adri, and nodded at him. It was like he had understood everything, that I wanted to say and hadn't. Wow...that level of understanding was unheard of. In that moment he knew what to do, he turned around, left the room, and went on to the prison, where the rest of my family was. I didn't know how they would deal with his appearance, but I could only hope that, that went alright.
I turned to focus my energy on George Cianti. I walked towards him with purpose. But before I could do much, it was like, he had an honour guard surrounding him, well, so be it, they would die too. I turned to attack the first one, only to realise, that his honour guard wasn't human, they were cyborgs. And the first one had weapons of my choice, the trusty double edged sword of course. All my life, I had trained with various arms. Swords were my favorite, guns coming to a close second.
I disarmed the first one, by kicking him in the arm, with enough force to knock his arm out. When he attacked with the second arm, I  kicked that one clean off too. 
Now I could really raise hell, I was armed and ready with two swords, that felt perfect, hell, they were perfect!
