Katana's Revenge

Only Trying To Protect Her

Song: Natural by Imagine Dragons

Mr. Moretti:

I let ReAnn approach her when we get there. When our eyes meet I see the disappointment in her eyes, a mix of sadness and being extremely pissed off at me. I want to hug her up and tell her that its going to be alright but I have a feeling she wants nothing to do with me at the moment.

"Thank God you are alright," I tell her as I try to put my arms around her but she ignores me, pushing me out of the way. I watch as she walks off towards the car. I notice her shoes are missing and I look around by the tree however they're not there. She is walking with a small limp and I know her feet have got to be hurting. I should pick her up and carry her to the car, however I know it will only make her more pissed off at me.

The two of them get in the backseat, so I sit up front. I can't stop myself for looking back at her, accessing her to make sure that she is alright. Before too long she is out, sleeping on her friends lap. On the way home my phone goes off and it's Gabe with some of our guys.

"Hey amico."

"We got them...what do you want us to do with them?"

"Bring them back to Atlanta, let me take Ana home and then I will meet you alright. We will take care of them."

"No problem...man...is she alright?"

"A few bruises but I think she will be alright."

"Tell her hi and tell my girl hi, she is not answering her phone."

I look in the back seat. "I will; they are both sleeping at the moment in the backseat."

"At least I know she is with you...arrivederci."

"Dopo."

I look at Max, who is driving with a grin. "Dolce madre di Dio, li hanno trovati."

"Grazie Dio!"

I don't know what it is, when I get really going about something my Italian comes out in me. I rarely use it anymore.

When we pull up at her place the girls get out and I follow in behind them. She continues to limp. I wish I could just carry her to the front door. Right before we get to the door she turns to stop me from going any farther.

"Just go alright," she says with her eyes all watered up and bloodshot. I know she is fixing to break down.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean for any of this to happen." I try to tell her. God I try. She has to know that I never meant for any of this shit to happen. I would die for her. I never wanted to put her in harms way.

"I can't talk to you right now. I don't want to talk to you right now. I'm so freaking pissed off. I'm only going to say this one time, go home. I will talk to you when I calm down." When she opens the door, she walks in and then turns to look at me again with those freaking sad eyes.

God she is really upset with me. As the door slams in my face of pure rejection, I have no words left to say.

The only thing on my mind is meeting up with Gabe and taking care of the piece of shit that took her. When I arrive they are all there waiting on me. I pull my black leather gloves out of the inside pocket of my coat. As I am walking into the building, I put them on. No sence in getting his blood on me.

They have the two of them tied to a chair with their arms around their back. When I see Mike the first thing I do is hit the shit out of him. I watch as his cheek vibrates with my fist and blood flings out of his mouth breaking a tooth out.

The girl beside him starts screaming hysterically. "Guys put some tape on that." I gesture to the girl. One of guys comes over and places duct tape over her mouth to shut it up. Now I can think. Jeez why do they always have to scream, that only makes things worse don't they know that.

I untie Mike. "Come on man stand up it's just you and me...da uomo a uomo."

He forces himself up into standing and I wait for him to because this is going to be so much fun. I punch him in the stomach and then grab his head and start wailing up on his ass. He had no chance, no way in hell. When he falls to the floor, I kick him over and over until he passes out. "That's what you get motherfucker for hurting her. Whatever made you think you were going to take off with my girl, with my money?"

Of course he only responds back with grunts, because he is still trying to catch his fucking breath.

"Finirlo. Anche lei," I tell my men to finish him off and then her too.

"Si Signore."

As I am walking off I hear the two shots fire off and I know they killed them both. I'm not worried about what happens next because I know my guys know how to get rid of the bodies. It's not the first time doing this and it sure in the hell won't be the last time.

When I get back, I have two dozen of roses sent to her place. I also have Marco fix two orders of the entrées that she likes and have Max deliver it to her house. I really am sorry that any of this happened to her. Max doesn't get to see her either because ReAnn answered the door but she assured him that Ana was alright.

Of course she doesn't respond. I need to give her time.Throughout the week I send her more roses and tell her to take the week off. I know she at least attends school and as long as she is getting out, I feel that everything is going to be alright. It's going to take time getting us back to where we were.

Gabe gives me the heads up at the end of the week that she took off back home. He said that he heard that she just needed to get away too think about things and needed to see her dad. Apparently that is her escape route, going back to her hometown. I don't bother having her traced; I'm sure she will be alright. I just hope when she returns, if she returns that we can start building on us.

Italian Translation:

Hey amico- hey man

Arrivederci-See you later

Dopo- Later

Dolce madre di Dio, li hanno trovati - Sweet mother of God, they found them

Grazie Dio!- Thank God!

Da uomo a uomo- Man to man

Finirlo. Anche lei- Finish him off. Her too.

Si signore- yes sir
