I watch the blood drip down his body as I sat in the tube. With each breath my life flashed before my eyes and tears began to roll. Both of our breaths growing more shallow as time passed. I felt myself fading out of consciousness and use the last o...
It's been two week since my brother figured out my end game. He won't even talk to me at his point. The only person I talk to is Ghost and he has even been colder towards me. It feels like the more distant they become this easier it will be at the end.... but it makes the day to day harder.
I shook off my thoughts as I packed my bags and got ready for my flight. Sanchez dropped off my plan ticket and all the info on my first target. Just as I zipped up my bag there was a knock on my door. I opened it to Ghost looking unenthusiastic.
"What's up Ghost"
"You ready?"
"For?"
"The flight. Duh"
""You're not going with me"
"Yes I am"
"No you're not. You gotta be here for the new shipment. It was set to be here tomorrow and I'm not going to be back"
"Vanni I'm going"
"Vanni?" I looked at him confused "Dude I'm trying to be cool just let me do this on my own"
"No" he shook his head "You're still new to this shit Vanni. You cannot do this alone"
I sighed "I'm not new to this Asani"
I walked away from him to get my things. I wasn't about to argue about him going or staying. Honestly, I knew Rio probably told him to come with me.
I came back and Ghost took my bags. We headed to the airport in complete silence. I didn't want to be bothered with anyone while I did what I had to do. I could feel my adrenaline pumping all morning. It felt like it took forever to get here and this first hit was going to make or break me.
When we got to the airport, I followed Ghost through the airport only to be led to a private plane. Ghost smirked at the surprised look I held. I shook my head before getting on the plane and getting situated. Once I seated and the attended had been through. I took out the folder and opened the information I had.

It made me sick just looking at at them. I never knew the dudes name but one thing I hadn't forgotten was his face. He was actually with the people who snatched me from the park. I thought it was plotting on Shacey the whole time when really they were both plotting on me. Then they had the never to get married.
I shook my head before closing the file and looking out the window. I could see myself slaving through the house like Cinderella as they made out on the couch, the men snatching me from the park and me crying for her, her face when she saw me with that evil grin, my small face crying because I had yet to learn how cruel the world really was.
I was broken out of my trance by Ghost sitting beside me. I didn't even bother to look at him because I had nothing to say. It wasn't until he reached over and wiped the tear I didn't know had fell.
"I'm fine" I spoke before he could ask
"I know you're not Vanni"
"You're right, I'm not" I sighed before looking at him "but once this has begun I will be"
"Once you finish this one... there is no turning back"
"I know----"
"No ma you don't" he grabbed my face "You're a beautiful, brilliant woman Giovanni. This is going to take you to a darkness you haven't met. I've lived in it for what feels like a lifetime. I don't remember being innocent Vanni! Just listen to me please. We got time. Just think about what you about to do"
"You and I both know what I want from all of this"
"Yeah and we both know that you're not a hunnid percent bought into that plan. Yeah I see the ice in your eyes... but I also see the innocence baby girl. You just won't let it live"
"I'm tired of being innocent! You know what innocent got me? Two dead kids and a life time of physical and mental abuse from every fucking person I have come in contact with! A life time of people breaking me down to nothingness! You don't understand! Rio doesn't understand! Just let me do this and leave me the fuck alone"
I got up and stormed off to the bathroom. I paced back and forth in the small space squeezing my temple trying to contain myself. I felt myself crying as I tried to breath. I finally slide down the door and sat on the floor silently breaking down. I wasn't made at Ghost. I was mad at myself. I let his words get into my mind and fuck with me at the core. It made me think about Gregorio, Grayson, Kay, shit Ghost himself. The people that pulled at my heart strings no matter how cold hearted I wanted to be. Ghost proved on thing to me and it was breaking me down....I really didn't know what I wanted to do and I may not be able to finish my plan... FUCK!
