You V.S. Mafia by scaryberry123

[COMPLETED] "Shoot," Joey mumbles, letting out a string of profanities under his breath. We turn around to find a group of men, all with guns, standing where we just came from, and they look pissed... probably because they were forced to run through this tunnel after us. "Thought you could get away, didn't you?" The man who I saw before asks. His husky voice booms in the hollow tunnel, reverberating off of the dirt walls. His voice sounds familiar, and a realization strikes me. It sounds like the man from my dream. I remember him holding a gun and wearing a blue suit, smiling evilly at me. "Leave us alone," Joey says, sounding dangerous and snapping me out of my thoughts. The levity of the situation hits-we need to get out of here. I look around for a route of escape and thankfully I see a light, literally, at the end of the second tunnel. I let out a small, almost inaudible, gasp and nudge Joey. He looks at me and I subtly gesture with my head to the second tunnel. He glances at it and immediately we are on the same page. His jaw sets and he looks at the group. The man speaks up again, chuckling darkly-a sound I will never forget and will be permanently etched into my brain, "You can thank your father for starting this mess." -------------------------- Liza was a normal teenaged girl, living the average life that an eighteen year old girl should be living. She had good friends, good grades, a happy family, a loving boyfriend, and an overall content life, seemingly having everything a person could ask for. However, when she somehow gets thrown into the mix and is in the crossfires of a brutal mafia war that she has no business being a part of, things spiral out of control and she has to do whatever it takes to regain her freedom. In this hectic adventure of gun fights, torture, bank robbing and intimidating mafia men, Liza has to face it all, putting her average life on the line in order to defeat the bad guys and go back to her normal way of living.

I grumbled as I duck behind a car as well. I take out my magazine as I started to load it quickly not caring about my finger prints being on them. He reloaded as well as he must've had a extra clip because he immediately started firing again. Glass shattering as Shayla was laying on the ground balled up. --------------------------- "Nobody told you to beat up Manny! That's your fault." I tell him as we started to calm down now. "Nobody told you to fuck him either." He tells me as I shake my head at him tearing up again. "Fuck you James! You fucked my best friend. YOU GOT HER PREGNANT!"

Midnight Whispers ||18+ by Aria_writes610

My plan was to run away from him. He's a psychopathic monster, but you know the thing about monsters? ~They always follow, They always haunt. They forever stalk, They never stop. ---------------------------------------------------------- He buried his face in my hair at the nape of my neck and whispered~ "Bad move, angel. You shouldn't have cared about him." With that, he fired six bullets into the man who was now lying on the ground with blood all over his chest. He fired one more time not moving away from me or even looking back at that man. He just killed him. "If any other man besides me has your attention, this is what they'll get in return." ---------------------------------------------------------- He started taking steps forward, not afraid of the gun I was pointing at him, and I started taking steps back, unable to shoot him. "You have 10 seconds to pull that trigger. If you don't, I'm gonna let you run, then hunt you down, break into your house, kiss you hard, rip off your clothes, and suck your tits until you beg me to fuck you like the good lil slut you are!" ---------------------------------------------------------- .A tale of obsession and payback.
