Demionos Mortales De la Mafia- Part 1

Part 1: Hesitation

Dante's P.O.V.

Me, Cenia and Val all sat in the gym on the floor mats. My mind is everywhere; why did Val attack me? Is she okay? Does she hate me?

"Val needs some water," Cenia says as she feels Val's forehead with the back of her hand.

"Her temperatures rising", she continued, and I ran over to the mini-fridge in the changing rooms, throwing open the fridge door and grabbing a bottle of water, slamming the door. I ran back to the room the girls were in, giving Val the water, and she instantly gulped the whole bottle and threw the bottle next to her; leaning back into Cenia's arms, Val closed her eyes and immediately blacked out. Slumping into Cenia's arms, I noticed Cenia wasn't as strong as Val, as she struggled to keep Val's head from falling on the ground, so I helped and carried Val, picking her from Cenia's arms bridal style. Cenia stands up next to me.

"Geez, that hasn't happened in ages," Cenia says as she slumps back, running a hand through her hair, looking down to the ground and shaking her head. I looked confused and scared as she wiped away the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes, but the questions remained in my head.

Who's Diego?

What did he do to Val?

What hasn't happened in ages?

Wanting to know the answers so badly, the words left my mouth before I could proceed with it.

"Cenia, why did that happen? Who's Diego?" I asked her; confusion ran through my eyes, and she suddenly tensed at the name. I could tell he was someone from the past.

"I can't tell you that, Dante, but if you like Val enough, she will tell you," she said, looking at her sleeping sister and tucking Val's hair behind her ear.

"Look...Dante, I can't say much, but what I will say is that I know you like Val and if you want anything at all to do with her, take it slow; she was..." she breathed out as she seemed to struggle to speak.

".. she was forced before in the past, she won't be faithful to you if you do that to her, so take it slow. Val has manic episodes," she said, looking at me intensely. I nod, knowing that she's giving me advice and what seems to be a blessing for me to date Val.

"and Dante, it was lovely that you took her out for a meal, but I already know that she thought that was too fast" my eyes widened; I never wanted to hurt Val, nor for her to feel pressured or pushed to be with me.

"I didn't know; I just wanted to do something nice for her," I said, looking down at her in a peaceful slumber. She was a glowing goddess, the queen of the mafias. Who would hurt such a beauty?

"I know Dante.." Cenia says, patting my back, ".. I know, she'll tell you things about her past in her own time" she smiles.

"Let's get her in a bed, but not in the same room as me, but!" She says, slightly looking scared for her life.

"Why not?" I ask, looking at her, and I slightly chuckle; what's so wrong about sleeping in the same room as her sister?

"What she just did to you just then, she did to me when I was asleep, she near strangled me to death before our Padre came running in dragging her off me" she covers her mouth, her eyes wide like an owl.

"I shouldn't have said all of that, to be honest" she looks down.

Val did what? In her sleep! Whatever this Diego guy did to Val for her to attack her own sister. Is unspeakable; I'll kill him when I get my hands on him for hurting my Val. I know I didn't know her back then, but I god damn wish I did. I wish I was there for Val.
