The stranger looks at me in the eye, sending a shudder down my spine. He pulls the trigger, showing no sign of mercy. "Mom!" I cry. Suddenly, I feel a sharp sting in my ears. They started throbbing. Tugging at my hair, I scream for help and rush to mother's side. The stranger quickly ran out the door, and out of the picture. "I love you," she mimed, smiling weakly at me. I looked at my mom's unresponsive eyes and body, and embraced her, getting her blood all over my shirt. "No, no, no!" I bawled, shaking her. My brother, Lucas, my sister, Lana, and my dad came rushing into the scene. Police lights filled our small, vague room. They kept yelling words that I couldn't pick up. That's when I grasped, at the age of 12, the fact that I couldn't hear any longer. From that moment on, I would've never expected to meet someone that could change my life forever. My name is Arabella, and I have a story to tell.

I ran downstairs into the living room, my heart pounding as I found all my brothers gathered around Nefeli. Her eyes were frantic, scanning the room, desperately searching for me. The scream that bastard had let out earlier must have reached her... The moment our eyes met, she practically threw herself at me, wrapping her arms around me so tightly I could barely breathe. I stood frozen for a moment, unsure of what to do. I hugged her back anyway... Even though I had no idea what was going on. "Thank God you're safe" she murmured in my ear, her voice trembling, leaving me even more confused. I glanced at my brothers. They all looked just as lost as I was. Except for Aiden and Alex. They were motioning for me to hold on. "Of course I'm okay, Nefeli. What happened?" I asked, my heart tightening. I hated seeing her like this, so worried and panicked. "I-I heard Alex and Aiden talking in Italian!" she stammered, her eyes wide with panic. "They said something about the Mafia! Are we being threatened by the Mafia?" Her voice cracked, and tears threatened to spill from her brown eyes. The room fell silent for a moment. My brothers exchanged looks, and then, without warning, we all burst into laughter. Nefeli stared at us, completely confused. Cole, finally calming down, wiped his eyes and looked at her with a smile. "Love" he said, his voice smooth, "we're not being threatened by the Mafia." he let the words settle in the air for a second. "We are the Mafia." • • • _______________________________________________________ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ Mentions of abuse, violence, harsh language, bad mental health, and light depression!
