You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.

Apollos pov

I take the elevator down to the cells. As soon as the door opens, I see a dirty boy, without food, without water, antisocial. I go near him and sit in the chair opposite.

"You know I want to kill you so bad, right?" He just nods.

"But I don't even want to fuck" I say and blurt out. He looks at me surprised.

"Apollo, you know that I was always with you, Isabela compelled me"

''what is she? fucking vampire?''

"No, no, it's channeling energy from old witch graveyards."

"Can I find these?" I say and stare at him

''It's in the Blood Grounds''

''Blood Grounds?''

"a great labyrinth with many gladiators of Isabella in Italy"

"And how can I get in there?" I say

"Only with a fingerprint from a genuine member" he says and shows himself

''you?''

"Please, I made half of that part, I know everything"

''How can I trust you;''

''You will judge this for yourself'' he says and I think. Sofia must find her strengths.

"Agreed" I say and shake his hand. I pull him.

"Don't you dare and tease my girl, I will cut off your head" he simply nods. I unlock the cell and let him out.

"Apollo, they want her like nothing else"

"I know we have to protect her"

"She's not ready to learn yet" I say and he just nods.

''And how are we going to keep her away from her sister?''I wonder that too.

"We'll find an excuse," I say not so sure.

"Apollo? Do you hear what you are saying? She has started a fucking war, if the Perez are faced with a complete transformation it will be the war of the ages." he says and I think again. She  have to find her powers. But she will become an untamed horse .He will become the devil. She will become me. I don't want that.

"You are right, they are the most powerful beings in the world, not everyone should be among them, especially if the Great Mother is there"

"So she was not a myth, she is alive in flesh and bones. She was and is the greatest witch of all time."

"Yes, but Sofia has forgotten that, she has lost her memories, and you and your slut are to blame for that."

"Apollo,she practiced her magic on me"

"Fucking lies for a lifetime"

''They are not lies'' he says and lowers his head.

"Let's say you're telling the truth, why did you kidnap her?" He loses it

"What did I do?" he looks at his hands. A tear falls from his eye.

"YOU FUCKING KIDNAPPED HER, SHE CAME BACK IN BLOOD AND BRUISES" I say and squeeze my wrists.

''-I don't remember anything-''

"Are you lying again?" I go to him.

"You dare to touch her even one hair again and I will make your life hell. DO YOU HEAR ME?" I say and push him. He knocks back and falls to his knees. He folds his legs and places his head inside. He sobs .He cries too much. He shouts 'what did I do' and stuff like that. Is he telling the truth?

''I didn't mean it, I didn't know what I did, it's her fault'' he says and cries again.

"I know, that's why we're going to kill her"

"Yes, I agree" he says and hugs me.

"Actually, that's not my plan" he leaves the hug and looks at me confused

"Time for the Queen of the Mafia to find her memories and get her anger back" I say and she shakes my hand. he laughs. We go upstairs. I find Sofia in the living room.

"Apollo-Hermes? What happened?"

"Absolutely nothing love, just replenishing memories for a few years as a big brother"

"What? Are you okay?" she says and seems to have lost her mind.

"brilliant" we say at the same time and laugh. She just looks at her, somehow. I explained to her what happened without telling her about the plan.

"Love get ready we're going to have to take someone's life"

'' whose?''

" Your Father's"

Hermes is still on the basement.

Sofia's pov

"From your father" FROM WHO? DID I HEARD RIGHT?

"Apollo, what are you talking about now?"

''what you hear, put on your full body uniform, we're leaving''

I left and got dressed. I took two guns. We got into a car and left. In 2 hours we were outside a camp, the same as the one we bombed. To be precise, there were at least 200 men outside and another 200 inside. They all wore black clothes and glasses. They were about the same color as Apollo. He comes out. And as soon as he sees him. He goes to them, grabs my hand and drags me with him.

"My friends, I came here with peaceful intentions. I would like to get in," he shouts to the outside soldiers.

"No entry allowed except for Kitters members"

"says who?"

"Chief 23" says a soldier while still standing tall and looking straight ahead.

"Fine and the leader 1 says to open the doors now" he said and everyone turned their eyes to Apollo.

''I think I'm running out of time,'' he says and points to a mark on his leg. someone is walking as between and we don't face anyone.We walk in an building familiar to me.We enter an office

"Okay, I want to sit down for a bit" I say and Apollo immediately closes my mouth with his finger. The chair turns.

"And I was saying when will I see you" my father looks very happy.

"Daughter, what are you doing? The last time I saw you, you were very angry, maybe this bastard is to blame? Do you want me to kill him for you?" says my father with a psychopathic laugh. It disgusts me.

"Even if she wanted to, you can't," Apollo says a thunderous voice.He clenches his jaw.

"This whole little theater you've set up here is nice" Apollo says and starts talking non-stop.

"First of all, if you want to copy me with the black uniforms of the soldiers, try to do it right" he says and laughs

"I can write you the instructions for their preparation and I will bury them next to your grave" he says and laughs. I laugh too. He grabs me in the middle.

"Try to do what you want, your time will come, but if you touch my wife again we will have a lot of problems" he says and squeezes me more. I push him away.

"My love, I can do this alone" I say and take a knife out of my boot.

"Look, look, look who has the power now?" I say and put the knife under his chin to make him shudder.

"You and I will never be the same dickhead"he says to me laughing

"I know ,I'm worse" I say and create a wound on his shoulder.He makes painful sounds

"Does it hurt? It doesn't matter," I say sarcastically and laugh

"You are playing with my anger" he says and grabs his shoulder.

''You've been playing with mine all these 17 years, you abused me, you tried to r-rape me'' I say sharply. My breath stops. At the end of my sentence I created another wound in his neck.This one is worse. Apollo's gaze  followed me carefully everywhere. He looked sad and angry at the same time.

"You know this is not true" says my father and I look in fear at Apollo who is ready to explode.

"Then what the fuck is this?" I say and show a mark on my belly. It was a scratch when he was trying to disarm me.

"Your time has come my dear" Apollo says and jumps on the desk. He takes out a gun and goes to shoot him.

"Wait, let's  torture him a little? What? so shall we leave him? He will die regretting everything'' I say and Apollo agrees. Apollo takes the word.

''As soon as you say sorry to my wife, your building will fall into a thousand pieces'' Apollo says and my father looks at him with open eyes.

"what game are you playing kid?"

"the best,  mine" says Apollo and laughs

''what kind of game is this?''says my father

"I call it ' go to hell son of a bitch'"

The building starts and catches fire. The room turns black, fills with smoke. Apollo pulls me

"Go ahead, you're going to pass out in here," he says and pulls me out. We are on top of ruins. The building bends. It's like a cliff. We hear gunshots. Three soldiers with machine guns are coming closer and closer. One of them hits me with a bullet in the elbow

''You trust me?''

"With my life" I say and he pulls me. We are in a place full of dirt and smoke.

"JUMP" he shouts and I fall into the void. I can't open my eyes. It's like something is blocking me. I hear sounds, voices. I'm in a place with water. As if I'm drowning. I hear steps from many soldiers. Suddenly someone it lifts me up.

"Apollo" I say softly

"Someone better" says a voice.

Apollos pov

As soon as we fell, I lost Sofia in the smoke and the fog that had been created by dirt. I find the soldiers. They are all arranged in rows by Axel's orders. I find him

''Have you seen Sofia yet?'' I say worriedly

"I thought she was with you" I look around.

''Do you hear that?'' Eliza says

"What?" I say and hear many steps. A crowd of soldiers appears from the fog.

''You thought that because you knocked down my building, you would beat me?''says a familiar voice. John.ofcourse.Fucking John

''What do you want?''I say and I go closer by myself. He also comes, leaving his soldiers behind. I look at the unhappy and miserable faces of the soldiers. All in the dirt. crowd. Holding a soldier.

"My daughter, come here please"

SOFIA?

"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO HER?" I shout.She looks paralized.She looks covered in blood.She looks tired.She looks hopeless.Eveyone is laughing.My mind is lost.I clench my jaw

"calm down prince with the white horse, I'm just trying to toughen her up"

"Toughen her up? It's not enough what you've fucked up?" I shout again. The soldier throws her down.

"You're dead motherfucker" I say and pull out my gun.

"Are you going to kill me with this little tool?" he says and laughs. I throw 5 bullets at him and he dodges them. I do what I can.

"Okay, you won, come let me give you the cards and the keys to the mafia" I say and go to him. Now let's see who's smart. He's coming.

''My boy, I knew that one day you would understand and do the right thing'' he says and extends his hand.

''I will give you the throne of the Mafia...'' I say and slowly take out one of the biggest knives in the world. He does not see my movements. He is blinded by joy and glory. I stab him in the chest. I stabbed him about 15 times, then shot him three times and kicked him in the gut.

"Over my beautiful,angry dead body" I say and mockingly blow him and he falls down. I move towards the soldiers.

"My friends" I shout, everyone freezes, my voice stops the whole world.

"Why are you leaving?" I say and smile

"I would like to work together" I say and everyone comes towards me.

"I'm sorry dear but you committed a big crime" I say to the man who knocked Sofia down before. I shoot him 4 times and he falls down. I go near Sofia and shake her. Suddenly she wakes up

"Baby, are you okay?" I shout anxiously

''I remember''
