Knight in shining armour more like Mafia on tailored suit

Chapter 8

DIANA'S P.O.V

My head hurt like I had been knocked out. Oh wait, I had.

Opening my eyes I blinked away the black spots before looking around the room noticing that it was dark with a light in the middle of the room adding a little bit of light. Ignoring the chill in the room I looked to my left seeing that Elana was still knocked out tied in the same way as me with our hands behind our backs, sat down on the seats and our legs without any restraints. As I took a closer look around the room noticing the door in front of the room with light peaking through the cracks with shadows of someone pacing up and down the length of the door.  Closing my eyes in frustration wishing I pulled Elana away from the alley because they are likely to kill the both of us and no one will find out.

The sound of groaning causes me to open my eyes and I look towards Elana now noticing the bruise on the right side of her forehead. Slowly she blinked her eyes I could see the panic forming in her eyes as she noticed the room and her restraints, so I cleared my throat getting her to look in my direction seeing her relax slightly knowing that she wasn't alone. Suddenly the person by the door stops pacing as hushed voices speak to soft for even me to know what they are saying. With that the door is swung open revealing a man in a suit and tie walking over with a tray that has a glass of which I am assuming is red wine with poison in it due to it being darker and the smell is different. The man brings the tray over setting on the floor in front of us before turning around and walking away towards the right corner of the room slightly obscured from our vision clearly waiting for someone. Looking back to the now open door I see Xavier walking in with Antonio behind him, they are also wearing black suits but these are clearly more expensive as they look custom made and are most likely Armani due to the unique lining.

Xavier speaks drawing my attention back to him and Elana's from Antonio to him." Well let's get straight to the point. . . So since you most definitely saw Antonio and I kill that man we can't just let you go incase you tell the police, not that they would do anything." He shrugs as if it doesn't bother him pausing for effect while I just stare at him emotionless.

"Now if you want to leave one of you have to drink the red wine in front if you wish to leave but in doing this you are sworn to secrecy. . ." He is starting piss me off while I can feel Elana shake slightly in fear adding to my anger.

"And if you don't drink it we have no choice but to kill the both of you." At this Elana starts crying quietly as her head is hung low while shaking causing me to lose control.

"Oh shut up! We all know that drink is 100% poisoned and even if one of us dies you will kill the other one if us anyway. So you can take your lies to some other idiot, cause I ain't falling for it!" I stand up shocking them all that I had just spoken and that my hands are free from restraints.

I walk over to the tray picking up the wine glass bringing it up to my mouth swallowing it whole before dropping it. "Ahhh so you added a few drops of cyanide in it, although not surprised considering the liquid is darker and there is a slight difference in smell. Now listen here I know who you really are, almost everything about your mafia, but I will only be a threat if anything befalls Elana. So I suggest you think about what your getting into."

Taking out my knife from the inside of my boot hiding it up my sleeve I walk behind Elana bending down cutting the rope and hiding it back inside my combat boots. Standing back up I walk in front of her once again crouching down showing her I mean no harm before I move my hand up to her face cupping her cheek. Slowly the fear in her eyes fade away as she realises that I won't hurt her. Feeling sick I stand up slowly and walk to the left wall of the room before I throw up using my hand to keep me stable careful of my shoes. Wiping my mouth with my sleeve I turn around ignoring there looks of worry and shock walking back over to Elana helping her up speaking before she could.

"Don't worry I just threw up as a way for my body to get rid of the poison and it hardly has any affect on me any more." Once she is fully standing she clutches onto my right arm as we both face Xavier and Antonio who just seemed to get out of their shock.

"Well if that is all we'll be on our way." I say as we start walking but stop as Xavier speaks.

"Sorry but even then we can't let you go, you will have to live with us and go every where either with us or Mike in the corner over there. We can't let you walk after knowing what you saw and what you know." His voice almost sympathetic.

Sighing I reply. "Even though we won't say anything we'll stay here to keep your minds at ease as you already have enough on your plate finding who is trying to find out who your mother is. Don't ask how I know, just promise that no harm will befall Elana." My voice still as emotionless as before.

Nodding his head he responds. "You have my word, no harm will befall you or Elana." Confusing me as to why he included me I just nod my head.

I know for a fact Nothing good will come from this. . .
