**A girl, Alora, kidnapped from her family by her own mother, when she was only one years old. Her family was distraught and heartbroken, wondering if they would ever see their missing princess**
**"Alora, stop! We won't hurt you, I promise!" Someone called.
I stopped running, and whipped around.
It was my brothers.
They looked perfectly calm, while I was wheezing and puffing my lungs out.
Stupid Asthma!
"Y-y-y-yes you w-w-will." I stuttered, some from nerves and some from being out of breath.
"No we won't." A different brother said, stepping forward.
I turned to look at him.
My lungs felt like they were about to Burst, I needed my inhaler!
I ignored my brothers, as I quickly started to rummage through my bag. Where was it?!?!
"It's right here Alora." One of my brothers said.
I looked up confused.
He had my inhaler in his hand.
How the fu*k did he get it?!
"P-p-p-please." I stuttered.
I needed my inhaler, now.
"Come and get it." He said, smirking.
My brows furrowed.
"Y-y-your g-gonna o-over power m-me." I wheezed.
He nodded.
"It's us and the inhaler, or no inhaler and more running just for us to catch you in the end." **

*****
Cash West formed the Seven 20s - a gang of six overzealous teens with guns - to keep his tiny, crime-infested town in nowhere California safe. His methods are unorthodox and frankly illegal, but the town loves his Robin Hood heroics. However, the gang gets more than they bargained for when the Mendoza cartel rolls into town, determined to knock them off the map. As the threat hits closer to home, Cash has no choice but to team up with his ex-girlfriend Tiana's neighboring girl gang, the Hearts of Spades. Soon allies become enemies, families get trapped in the crossfire, and romance brews as Cash fights to unravel a massive conspiracy that puts everyone that matters to him at risk. When the stakes are life and death, will the gangs be able to overcome an enemy more powerful than any of them could have predicted?
