•••QUINN•••'You're one of your mom's fling that's why your parents got a divorce, you don't belong to your dad.'"Why??... " why did I have to know this.I sat down on a swing set after what mom said, I literally went on a melt down and ran away not giving a care in the world, I ran to a park I've been there for the past two hours with thoughts running wild in my mind.'This has to be some joke...' I recalled my conversation with mom.'It's not Quinn, I know this is much to take in but...''But what, the man I grew up knowing my whole life, calling dad, who died who I cried for isn't even my father, why didn't he tell me anything why did you both keep quiet why did he will me the necklace in the first place.''Quinn understand I was trying to protect you''No you lied to me, is Noemie even my cousin because dads last name is Fields and Charles last name is Peigns, how stupid could I have been I've not even bother about the fact till now.''Quinn understand I did it to protect you.''
Maybe it's my fault if I paid attention to Mandy's warning and avoided Terry maybe things would have been different, maybe dad could possibly be alive and we could have been a normal family... " I didn't know when I went from being upset to mourning my dad, I heard the swing next to me shake before I could realize Calvin got up he embraced me running his fingers through my hair."He's not my father but I miss him." I threw my hands around him clenching tightly to him in tears, Calvin tapped me at the back. "It doesn't matter if he was your father right? He stood by you, he trained us to what we are now, maybe he had a reason to keep all these secret and was going to tell you but he couldn't... " Calvin said in between the hug."He was our dad and what ever he did he had his reasons maybe he was waiting for the right time.. " Calvin said slowly pulling away from the hug pushing his face against mine, his hands cupped my hand along with the swing, I totally stopped swinging both our eye
"•••QUINN•••I gazed at Manfred and then back at the guys I slowly raise my hand trying to point out who I want to go with.If I followed Manfred I could finally know everything and probably most of my questions would be answered but that could probably invite me to another dangerous chapter, I don't even know anything about Manfred except he's my twin brother. As for the guys it all started when they kidnapped me and now it's more than that I'm not even sure they'll let me go with Manfred especially Seth. But who is he? My eyes locked on Seth searching for answers in his eyes, his eyes darkened as he made his way towards me. "Is there something I should know that you don't want to tell me." Seth deadass shot me a icy glare it didn't look scary it was more intimidating like he wanted to hide his expression, he averted his gaze from me and back on Manfred. "Yes..." Seth muttered to me. "Why don't you tell her... " he insisted on Manfred to spill. "No..." I yelled with a frown. "
•••QUINN•••"So you're telling me, you dated a Mafia at 17, I will never underestimate you ever again." Calvin said in awe to Mandy. It was already morning but we were all catching up. "Aren't you a bit scared at all? " I asked Calvin. "You worked as a police officer, the stories you used to tell me probably trained my mind not to react that much, speaking of which shouldn't you alert them you're back." Calvin suggested. "That's not necessary." I said using my spoon to clash with the plate as a form of entertainment. "She's deciding on leaving us to either her cool twin brother or her four musketeers.." Mandy mention."When you put it that way you make it sound like I have a choice to stay." I said calmly I didn't want to raise my voice. "Because you do, who cares if the Giovanni are your family, they are dangerous just like the Cunningham's, they are all the same, the blood lust, the dirty business and their crappy reputation they have to live by, there has to be some other way.
•••QUINN••• The ambulance was already here, they carried Mandy in a stretcher I ran after her and held on to her hand, she weakly grip on to my hand weakly. "Everything is going to be okay..." I whispered while she smiled and her eyes went shut, my eyes were flooded with panic as they took her in the back of the ambulance I wanted to get in and follow along but a hand gripped on to me, I turned to see Seth I tried struggling away but his grip on me was tightly fixed. The ambulance drove off living me with Seth, Manfred and a few of the neighbors who wore confused and worried looks, only a few stared at me finding me a bit familiar until they head back to their houses. I turned to face Seth. "Let me go.." I yelled frustrated but he didn't, his grip on me tightened until Manfred separated us, after that it was just glares and loud snarls from the two but I couldn't care less. I went back into the house with no clue or idea where Calvin was ?Terry for sure took him but why didn't he
•••SETH•••Darren somehow was able to intercept the Cunningham's location finally but there was a problem we couldn't reach out to Haven and Quinn when we finally did until less than an hour ago, Manfred was here too I despised seeing him. "Something is off here.... " I heard Manfred scowl, we were in some abandoned warehouse. "This looks like a place the Cunningham's will hold their plan but I see no Cunningham? " Erwin said until we heard a noise coming from the same door we came in. It was Haven."Haven what are you doing here, you're supposed to be watching over Quinn." Darren said. "I got your call I decided to come along." Haven said. "Who's watching Quinn? " I asked furious. "Calvin." Haven said. "What? " me and Manfred said at the same time. "It's strange but he managed to escape from the Cunningham's..." Haven said stopping on his words as be probably peice together everything in his head. "It's a set up..." Haven gravely said. "Where is Quinn......" I asked but then we
•••QUINN•••I sat down next to Mandy not looking into her eyes, she looked dazed but pissed she clenched her palm into a fist. "Terry that bastard." she cusses. "I'll kill him for getting me stabbed and kidnapping Calvin." the mention of Calvin's name almost brought tears to my eyes, she didn't know he was dead I didn't want her to feel the way I was now, she was quickly recovering and was getting better she would likely be discharged soon as possible. "But I know Calvin is okay, remember that time in school when we had a lock down and all the guys in class were acting like whimps but Calvin boldly protected our class and even knocked out the shooter that caused the lockdown even though he got shot he survived." she said bringing back memories that triggered my emotions, I wanted to cry but I so hard put on a big bright smile and even faked a laugh.I was even questioning myself what's wrong with me, how could I be laughing when my best friend was dead, no what's wrong with me not pro
What the hell is happening to me?Erwin leaned closer shortening the distance between us he wore a subtle look on his face, he neither smiled nor show any expression, I pushed my head down finding a possibly good explanation why my heart was racing when he was totally teasing me.His hands went up my chin as he pushed it up. Our eyes met and I pushed everything in me to maintain my gaze without looking vulnerable. "You know what Dory? You're weak...." he brutally attacked me with a true fact. "So what's your point ?" I bit my lip nervously as Erwin's eyes darkened.He smiled pushing his face closer than mine as his lips searches my ear lobe. "If you keep being weak you'll be killed, stop being weak." he whispered and slowly with drew himself away from me. "You got lucky but the life of your friend was risked, if you keep being weak the people you love will always try to protect you and you'll be putting them at risk too, one day they won't be lucky and everyone you love will die.." he
•••SETH•••I traced Nolan to where he was hiding, finally we were in the same room as my men raid his hideout. "Let's end this story shall we? " i said pointing my gun at him, he turned and smile. "So this is it, I'm painted as the bad guy when i basically tried to avenge your father.." he said. "I didn't ask you did i? " i questioned. "Huntress killed your father, I'm not your enemy." Nolan said. "You paid a hitman to kill Huntress after your father died since your father died in the war you always hated Huntress so you killed your own family to take over the Mafia, you're just a bitter soul." i said. "Have the Prestons gone soft, a Preston would avenge their kind.. ""That was forty years ago basically your age, the wars we brought is over, my father ran the Mafia his way i kill to get what i want and protect those who are family...""It's a shame Erwin isn't here to see you he would have enjoyed smashing your skull.." i said firing five bullets until he died on the spot. •••QU
The moment i got to New York, the so called secret hideout was some kind of abandoned factory, i met with Manfred we both pulled each other into a hug until i saw, Haven and Mandy as well. "What are you guys doing here? " i asked "I'm here to make sure you keep to your promise and also Shane could be here i don't want him to be killed along with his pathetic brother.." Mandy said. "Darren is with Maria, i came because i couldn't let you have all the fun.." Haven said as i looked for Seth. "Seth got caught up in something." Haven explain having noticed, i nodded. "What's happening? " I asked "It's like the Cunningham's knew we were here, we thought they were hiding you in here we were planning on attacking but they took down our men, i called Erica to inform her but then i heard your voice but i already sent a few men to bomb from the inside, i can't reach them and tell them to abort.." Manfred said. "Erica was working with them, don't abort, they are holding Erwin when the bomb
•••QUINN•••Me, Mandy and Seth got checked into one of the hotel Maria was in with Darren and Haven, i practically barge in to see Maria covered with a blanket she pushes her head up to see me she wore a sad smile, i went to hug her she didn't react other than hug me tightly. "They took Erwin.." Maria whispered."How's that even possible? " Seth question calmly. "I don't know it all happened so fast." Maria whined. "Why did they take Erwin and leave you behind? " Seth asked. "I don't know I'm lost as you, the first thing i was with Erwin and some brunette haired girl said walked up to me saying she can't find her grandma, the next thing she drags me even when i told her to fuck off and the next thing in know a bullet was fired and the last person i saw was Erwin, then i passed out and before i blacked out he glared at the girl yelled, you... " My heart stopped for a second and continue pounding, the girl in the description sounds familiar. "The next thing i wake up half unconscious t
•••MANDY•••I packed everything i needed, i even went ahead to snatching cash from Terry's room i quickly put everything into my bag, i wasn't going to stay here any longer while they plan to kill Quinn. I finished packing zipping up my backpack, I'm so happy Terry didn't chain me to my bed anymore I've done more than enough to gain his trust and fooling him that he can have his way with me, if possible I'll shoot the bastard but I've been waiting for this day. I sling the back pack over my shoulder going through the map i photoshopped in my mind i heaved a deep breath a little bit concerned everything, i pull out my gun and massaging my bullets in. "Here goes nothing.." i hissed quietly creaking the door open looking for any obstacle, the coast looked clear, i broke out and took to my heels, i heard footsteps getting louder and shot anyone that seemed like a threat, i shot about three guards so far and took one of their guns, i was relieved i made it this far until i saw Terry. "
•••QUINN•••I wore a baseball cap and a nose mask obviously while helping Maria at the cafe there were not that much people only four, three girls and a man who just ordered only plain coffee, i went up to Maria who was reading some kind of magazine. "I'm done delivering orders..." i said itching my neck since i settle for a turtle neck to hide Seth's hickey, the door leading to the garage revealed Erwin who was clad in black, he wore a black nose mask, his eyes looked souless and unexcited as he trail down to our direction, i heard a few mummurs from the girls who were eyeing Erwin, i scoff uninterested elbowing the counter."Hey Erwin, you've got admirers.." Maria tease pointing the teenage girls. "Not interested." Erwin snarled immediately, pinning his elbow too on the counter, recently he's been acting weird or should i say quiet i would love to ask but i don't see that happening without him gloating, he doesn't need my pity."Maybe one of them can help you get over.. ""Shut up.
A few days later i did Movie night with Maria, Haven and Erwin, Darren said he was busy but promised to take out time to hang out with me especially and Seth, he didn't want to come.I was heading back to my room exhausted, i only agreed to do the movie night because i thought I'll be exhausted in the end, well i thought wrong.I paced down the corridor quietly strolling down to my door, quickly i opened it it was dark at first, i switched on the light to see Seth laid on my bed, i balled my hands into fists and rubbed my eyes to make sure it wasn't part of an illusion caused by my exhaustion.I turned thinking of exiting the room the moment i grabbed the door knob he mutters. "Turn around.." i heard him scoff humourifically, i turned pissed he found the current situation amusing."What are you doing in my bed? " i don't know what came over me that made me to even utter that question, a smirk crawled up his lips a mischievous one, i was pissed but i didn't dare take another step."The
•••QUINN•••My eyes slowly opened, i groaned out a last hiss realising i didn't get much sleep again, my head ached a bit thinking how awful it was staying up and thanks to my insomnia i still can't get enough sleep, my eyes blinked twice recalling how i was able to sleep when Seth was around, probably the first time I've was weak and exhausted so i probably can't stay up all night but a few days passed i was able to sleep for some reason.I hissed when a ray of light found it's way to my bed room, i recalled what happened last night and terribly cringed to it, i swear Erwin is going to tease me for life, i tried pushing myself up and then hissed again feeling some kind of ache on my bare skin."Did he probably drug me during those times?" i questioned myself, i shook my head on the thought that i barely ate so the possibility of him drugging me were low, probably i was exhausted and weak from not eating my body decided to preserve my health and sleep.But of all the times i couldn't
"What is this place? " i asked, Maria tagged closely to me. "The guys bought this place a few months ago disguise as a cafe i run while they plan behind the scenes, it's a cover up so they won't get easily tracked, down here is the garage while that door leads to the cafe, when i heard you were coming today i just had to see you, your hair is amazing by the way." Maria complimented.There was another door possibly the door to the rest of the floors, again these guys are freaking rich to think of buying a building.Erwin and Seth were walking to the door until Seth stopped then turned to Maria. "Maria why don't you show Quinn the cafe..." she nodded quickly and took my hand leading me to another door probably to the cafe, she opened the door there were a few customers drinking, a few were on their phones while some were chatting.I quickly hovered my palm against my face to hide my identity, Maria noticed and quickly escort me to the back of the counter to a tiny room, there were provi
•••MOLLY•••I sat down comfortably eating my pancake, Erica and Manfred show up, Manfred looked pissed and stressed probably since they couldn't find that lousy bitch after her disastrous enthronement, it's been a week it's like she just disappeared it's a good thing because that could mean she's out of the way."How are you Molly? " Manfred asked."I'm fine..." i didn't bother to make eye contact with him. "I'm sorry about what happened to Quinn, i hope she sure dies...""What... " Manfred coughed, i looked up totally unfazed realizing the shit i just muttered. "I said i hope she survives..." I chuckled looking at Erica who rolled her eyes at my lame excuse. "Manfred we should really be going, we have work on our hands." Erica said as Manfred nodded."Molly why are you here again? " Manfred asked. "Aren't you supposed to be in school or with your grandma ? " he added."I just decided to stop by before i finally go to school, sorry for the inconvenience..." i teethed as Manfred nodded
