Mafia's World

Chapter Six

I've always been very practical in a world where survival was so difficult. Especially when you're on your own. I had to learn how to think from my head and not from my heart. Today started off okay, but it all changed when Elijah left my side. I felt like someone was watching me, so I looked around the mall.

I saw two guys in a corner having a conversation, but I noticed that they were watching me. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and I called Elijah as I started walking. "Help." I knew that he understood that I needed him. I turned to look for the guys, and I saw them following me. "Elijah."

I looked back again. "I'm on my way." I saw them catching up to me, so I started running. I kept looking back to see where they were, and I ran into a wall. When I looked up, I saw Angelo, and he caught me before I fell.

"Thank you." He nods before he pushed me behind him.

I couldn't see Elijah, but I heard him say, "Who sent you?"

I heard one guy that was chasing me say, "Fernando."

Elijah says, "Tell your boss to keep trying."

I heard someone laugh before the person says, "Did you really think we came here alone?" When I looked around I saw a bunch of guys come out of the empty stores and they surrounded us.

Elijah laughs and says, "Did you really think we came here alone?" As soon as he says that, I saw all the guys fall to the ground.

When I looked at Elijah, I saw another man next to him. "Did they really think you won't have allies to help you out?"

Elijah started laughing before he turned back to Fernando's men. "Give your boss my message." I watched as they ran away and Elijah looked at me. I walked over to him and he checked my body to see if I'm okay.

"I'm fine, I ran into Angelo before they could get to me." He pulled me into his arms before he turned to look at the other guy.

I looked at Liam. "Hey, Mel."

"Hi Liam, where's Faith?"

I heard her laugh before I saw her. "Right here." When she walked over I met her halfway.

I hugged her, and she says, "I miss you too." When she let go of me she walked over to Angelo.

I watched as he hugged her. "When is the wedding?"

She laughs as she hugs him back. "Next week." Then she pulled away and put her hands on her hips. "You better be there and tell your father too."

He laughs and says, "I will."

"You're getting married, and you didn't invite me."

Before she can say anything, Elijah cuts in. "Actually, she did, your invitation showed up right after we drugged you." He pulled an envelope out of his jacket, and he gave it to me.

"I'm just going to forget you ever drugged me and let it go." He started laughing, and I hit him on his chest. "It's not funny."

He sighs and says, "Sorry."

"I've always hated shopping and today made me hate it even more. Can we go back to your house now?"

He looked at me. "Yes." We followed him out of the mall, and I followed him to his car. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"No, I'm not. I just got chased through the mall by people who want to kill me. Whatever my father did got him killed and I have a feeling that it won't stop after they kill me. My mother is probably in danger too." When we got to his house, we went out back to the pool.
