Athena's pov

*boom* *boom* *boom*

I jump awake to the sound of gunshots. I turn over to Val, but he's not there. Sitting up, I look around the dark room, terrified. Where could he be? Was that him? "Val?" I whisper, mostly to myself.

*boom**boom**boom**boom*

I fall off the bed covering my head as the glass from the window breaks. I scream, three men come from outside, guns pointed at me, I hear gunshots continuing outside the house. "Get the fuck up!" One screams as the other two try to pick me up. I fight back against them screaming."LET GO!" "VAL!" "SAM!!" the door burst open, Val comes in, gun drawn. "Put her the fuck down." The men don't stop, I don't stop fighting either. I hear a gunshot. The man to the right of me drops to the ground and let's go of me. I gasp, taking this as my chance to get to Val.

"FUCK YOU!" The other man behind me yells and I hear another gunshot, I see Val fall the the ground. I cry out then everything goes black.

....

Ugh my head.. I think to myself, I try to open my eyes but the light is torture. I focus my eyes on my wrists, tied in front of me, instant panic sets in. What the fuck is going on? "Finally awake hm?" I hear a deep voice come from across the room. I try to focus on him but my eyes won't. As he walks closer I finally realize who it is. "Seb?" I sob, not knowing why he would do this.

"That's not really my name Athena come on be smart." He chuckles to himself. Just then I notice the knife in his hand. "Please don't hurt me." I beg, tears pouring down my face. "I won't unless you give me a reason to, my fathers orders." He scoffed.

"Why are you doing this Seb?" I ask. "Thats not my fucking name!" He yells, putting the knife to my throat. He looks me in my eyes, there's something sinister about him, like he's a totally different person. "I'm sorry!" I cry, letting out a yelp as I feel the blade cut my skin a little. He backs away, pacing in front of me. "My name Leo, I just needed a fake name." He says rolling his eyes. "My father and your brother were business partners you could say." He continues laughing to himself.

"And what does that have to do with me?" I ask, he turns around to face me. "Your brother killed my mother!" He screams at me, I flinch. "Yeah see I bet you don't know shit about him." He says chucking to himself, "I'm sorry I didn't know that." I say, I think he's gone mental. I don't want to anger him or set him off. "So my father made me pretend to be a college student to spy on you, to plan on when to take you. I guess me figured you're the most important thing to Samuel." He smiles to himself at that comment before continuing. "Yet my father had you knocked out for the past two days and not a word from him. Not a word from any of the Aztecs." He laughs, my stomach sinks. 2 days? I've been here for 2 days? Aztecs? What is he talking about?

My thoughts are cut off by the door opening, 3 men walk inside. The one I recognize, he's of the men that took me. There's another young looking one and then a older man, tall, covered in tattoos. "Leo, out." He orders him his voice is deep, Leo walks out of the room. I stay quite, too scared of the man. He walks towards me and stops, looking at me.  He reaches for me, grabbing my face between his hand. "What a doll..." He says, just then I notice his russian accent. "No wonder Valentino likes to play with this one." he chuckles darkly, looking back at the others, he drops my face. The others laugh as well. Tears start to build in my eyes again.

"Now, now Athena...We aren't going to hurt you unless you give us a reason to." He says just as Leo said but, I don't believe him. "Not going to say anything? From what Leo tell me you have quite the mouth on you." He smiles, he might be even crazier then Leo.

"what do you want?" I ask, my voice shaking, the man leans down, inches from my face. "I want your brother Samuel. He killed my wife, I'm going to return the favor and kill you in front of him." He smiles a dark smile, stepping back away from me.

"So he's smart for not coming here?" I laugh in his face, bravery taking over. I'm not going to let him use me to get to Sam. "Watch who you talk to like that." He says in a dark voice, his eyes narrow and his hand goes around my throat in a split second. "That's why you're going to call him and beg him to come save you." He says, he moves away and walks to one of the men standing behind him watching us. The man takes my phone out of his pocket and gives it to him. How the fuck did he get my phone?

"I'm not going to be apart of your sick and twisted revenge you fucker!" I yell at him. He whips around, and smacks me across the face. I yelp, my ears instantly start ringing and my head spins. "You'll do as I say." He demands, grabbing my hand to use the fingerprint on my phone. I watch as he unlocks it and scrolls to find Sam's contact. He presses the call button and puts it on speaker.

*ring* *ring*

The sound of Sam's phone ringing comes from the right. I look and gasp as I see Sammy, gun drawn and pointed at the man, I look at the other two men and see a red dot on both of their stomachs. They are standing as still as possible looking at the dot, not even trying to pull their guns.

"I'm right here mother fucker." Sam says, pulling the trigger. The bullet shoots straight at the man's neck. He falls down to the ground, thats when the other two men go to drawn their guns and they go down as well. I'm pulled out of my head when I hear Val's voice from behind me, "Athena" he says, instant relief flushes over me. He goes to undo my ropes that are tied around my whole body. "Please, hurry." I beg, scared to see more death honestly. All that blood. I bet I'm covered in it, I felt the man's blood splatter on me.

I hear glass shatter behind me I think it was the windows. I look around the room and see that Andrea, Angel, and Gabby all with guns pointed at every entrance to the room. Everything goes in slow motion after that.

Just then I notice my hands are now free, Val helps me up. "You have to run baby" he says, I give him a weak nod. My whole body is numb probably from the drugs they gave me to knock me out. I manage to build up the strength to sprint towards the broken window. Val behind me, he picks me up and I climb over the broken glass. I wait for him to get out too and we start running again. I hear gunfire coming from everywhere. "Get to the van, now!" He tells me, pointing towards the black van pulling up.

We hop in quickly, Tomās comes in afterwards. Juan is driving. He goes around the building. Stopping once, Sammy, Alexandre, Gabby and Andrea all hop in.

"Go!!! That's everyone get the fuck away she's about to blow!" Sam yells at Juan, Juan slams on the gas and just as we were to the gate of the driveway the loudest boom I've ever heard goes off
I cover my ears, so does everyone else.

"Shiiiiittt" Gabby says, she always makes light of everything. I giggle at her and everyone joins in. Val grabs my hand, pulling me to sit closer to him. I nuzzle my head into his chest, letting his scent surround me. Safe. That's all I feel, he rubs my back. "You're okay, I got you now." He says softly. This is when it hits me. Everything that just happened. I start crying uncontrollably. I seen 3 men get killed and I seen my brother kill one, do I even know Sam or Val or anyone at all for that matter. Who are they and what are the Aztecs? Who was that man and did Sam really kill his wife?

"I'll explain everything don't worry." Val says, this soothes me. I reach up and kiss him, I know he's not a bad person. He's Val I know him, he loves me and I love him, this won't break us.
