Ariana
After my eating my food fairly quickly, I sat in silence and waited for an order from Jason. He had been walking around the kitchen yelling at someone on the phone. Something about them not showing up to a job. I don't know, I don't really understand. I'd prefer to keep myself oblivious to those dangers.

Once he hung up, he cursed to himself and turned around to me. His eyes were dark with anger, his chest was heaving and his knuckles were white from his tightly clenched fists. His eyes were squeezed shut tightly, which confused me on what he was doing.

"Ariana, may I ask you a favour? I need you to do it and I need you to listen to me," He said, his eyes remaining closed.

"Yeah," I said softly, almost a whisper.

"I want you to go up to your room and not leave it until I come get you. I want you to lock the door, use the chains as well. I don't have time to explain now, I will later. I really need you up there now so I can work and deal with the situation as soon as possible," He states.

I could tell he was stressing out. The structure of his little speech wasn't very good, a little all over the place. But, I nodded anyway.

"No matter what you hear, you are to stay in there. Do not leave the room unless I get you. Do not be a nosey little girl and grow curious. Stay in there at all costs. If you get into any trouble, there's a red button in your bathroom behind the towels and one on the side of your bedside table. Understood?"

"By the sounds of that, I feel like something bad is going to happen. Is it from that phone call?"

"Yes it's from that phone call, that's all I can say. Go up there now!" He said sternly said, pointing towards the stairs.

I huffed and jumped off the counter, clunking my way towards the stairs. Once I entered my bedroom, I locked all four locks the door had.

In all honesty, I was panicking, but what can I do? Nothing. So there's no point in showing it. If I were to lose it and cry and allow myself to be scared, everyone else would suffer from seeing me that way.

I decided the safest place for me was in my closet. No only did it have a door with a lock, but also that silly button Jason told me about.

My doggies followed me in, thank gosh and sat down at m feet as I secured the door.

"You guys stay quiet, yeah?" I said to them, leaning against the wall as I sat down on the floor.

I sighed and waited for whatever was about to happen.

Jason

"We can sort that shit out later. The boys are coming up the driveway now. I need you's to protect the upstairs area, especially Ariana's room, at all costs. They'll be here soon. Now it's just a sit and wait game," I told my people.

"So you beat me black and blue and expect me to fight for you?!" Cassidy questioned, giving me a look as if it was the most absurd thing she'd heard.

Slowly, I turned my head to look at her. My vision went a little hazy as a sinister smile fell on my face.

"I think you're forgetting one thing," I said as I stepped towards her, "-I can beat you until you're dead and no one in this room will help you. Don't think for a moment that I'd give you the easy way out either with a simple bullet to the head. I'd make it slow, painful, bloody and for me, a little fun."

The stern look she held faltered as a look of worry flashed in her eyes. She pursed her lips, looking away from me with a small shake of her head.

"Oh, and don't think I'm done with you after what you said to Ariana either. There's more of that to come. Maybe if you do a good enough job tonight, I can lesson your punishment a teensy, winsy, tiny, little bit," I added, using my fingers to show a fraction of a small amount.

"So, Ariana comes in here, isn't even here for a day and your expecting us to fall at hands and feet for her and risk our own lives to save her?" Trent asked, his face pulling an odd expression.

His eyes squinted in seriousness, but his mouth told a different story. I could tell he was trying not to smile or he was joking.

"Of course. Anyone who is seen or caught not doing so will be treated like an opposition meaning you'll be shot on sight," I said, giving him a firm look.

"Yes, yep, yeah, of course boss. I'll um, do that for you," He covered himself quickly, realising I didn't find it a funny matter what so ever.

As if on queue, the rest of my members that I called walked in with their weapons in clear view. I knew my team was up for a little fight, it's been a while since someone's tried to mess with us. Let's be real, we're all a little gun happy and need to let loose everyone once in a while.

"Re-instating what I just told these guys, protect upstairs, especially the girl. She's up in her room, the one you lot put the furniture in. She's locked the doors and been told no one but I am allowed to bring her out once it's all over. Other than that, are you guys ready for a fight?!" I revved them up.

A round of cheers flooded the air. All up, there was probably fifty or sixty people here. I had to get them in the mood for this. I will never allow my men to go out in a fight, not in the right mindset. The only exception of course is when they're surprise attacks.

"Boss, we've been informed their travelling up the driveway now," Someone said.

"You guys know the rules. No one shoots until I do, or I give the signal. Let's go!"
