Aurora

"Bambina" he says wrapping his arms around me while I'm fixing my hair glaring at him through the mirror he chuckles thinking it's funny nodding my head slowly elbowing him in his abs just makes him laugh even more sighing he kisses my cheek repeatedly causing me to giggle pulling out of his arms he looks at me sideways like I've lost my damn mind "Coffee!" saying walking towards the door swaying my hips hearing him groan while I open the door leaving him behind smiling walking down the hallway luckily this house has only one floor with at least 12 rooms I believe yet it's absolutely stunning, walking around the corner seeing my father Ray which is still a shock to me making coffee along with breakfast giggling he turns around an sees me waving at him nervously he smiles before turning his attention back to whatever he's making all of us breakfast honestly I don't know why I'm so nervous he's my father for fuck sakes I just need to push it to the side an have conversation with him I want to know about my mom too maybe he can tell me something about her.

Before I could open my mouth to say anything to him everyone walks into the kitchen sighing looking down at ground "Morning" Layla says hugging me "Morning" saying feeling irritated at myself for not speaking up before they all came in here shaking my head grabbing a cup out of the cupboard to get myself a cup of coffee maybe that will help me feel less scattered brain taking a long sip of my coffee looking around seeing everybody pretty much enjoying the moment yet I feel a little incomplete, sighing placing my cup on the counter seeing my uncle Knoxs watching me closely which catchs the attention of my father feeling a little intimidated by their gaze that they have on me shaking my head walking to the back door to some well-needed air feeling the cool breeze hit my face helps me calm down instantly leaning on the banister looking out to the big open field to ease my mind a little yet I still have a few questions that need answering.

"You look just like her" Hearing my father Ray voices from behind me causing me to turn around.

"I wouldn't know only picture I've ever seen of her was the picture they sent me of her with multiple gunshot wounds" Saying looking down at the ground trying to forget that image.

"Forget that image they did it to scare you, and here you are still. You have her features but you got my eyes in my hair I'm so sorry for that, your mother was fierce a force to be reckoned with but she was also loving and caring. Kind of like you are but you also have some qualities of me that I've noticed even though I didn't know you were my daughter, stubborn an hard-headed and got a hell of a mouth on you just like I do" My father Ray says shaking his head leaning on the banister.

"Both of us never knew Vincenzo's father kept it a secret so me, Layla and Joy wouldn't be harmed in anyway. An don't be sorry because I have your features I get complimented on them thank you very much, so where was my mother from? Her favorite color? Favorite food?" Asking leaning on the banister next to him feeling tears form in my eyes while my father smiles looking up at the sky.

"Well your mother was from here Tuscany not far from here, her favorite color was blue any shade. Oh gosh your mother loved and I mean loved two things, burgers and eclairs when she was pregnant with you that was her thing" My father Ray says before laughing causing me to smile.

"What about you father? Tell me somethings about you and I'll tell you things about me" Saying looking over at him as he smiles at me.

"Well where to start... My favorite color is blue like your mother, Food eh I don't mushroom so when I see them I say I'm allergic. I was born and raised in here in Italy, because your grandpa worked for Vincenzo's granddad we moved around alot. It wasn't easy for me or your uncle growing up, anyways when I met your mother that was one of the best moments in my life we instantly connected to one another. We date for almost 5 years until I asked her to marry me, we had a small wedding we didn't want big and fancy that wasn't wasn't us. Then when she told me she was pregnant with you that made me even happier knowing I was going to dad" My father Ray says looking at me as tears run down his cheeks causing me to grab his hand.

"Well I guess our favorite colors must run in the family because mine is blue, I've always hated mushrooms but I love burgers. My childhood was much better when Vincenzo's father would come around because of the boys but after left and came back here to Italy, I started becoming rebellious until uncle Knoxs took us and pretty much raised us through our preteen an teenage years. Oh I was attacked when I was a kid I got the scar on my side to prove it" Saying looking at him as his eyes grow wide with rage yet also sorrow.

" I promise you this right now Caleb is going to pay for everything he's done, especially endangering you I'm sorry I could not protect your mother or you and that is on my shoulders everyday.  I will get revenge because I'm planning on killing him, but now that we know the truth it's going to drive him crazy which will work for me because I'm going to be the last thing he sees ever" My father Ray stats squeezing my hand lighty.

"Go ahead and kill him I don't care my whole life was a lie because of him, and for a moment I thought I never existed. But you won't be the only one he sees because I'm going to be right next to you I think everybody will actually, an you don't have to be sorry it wasn't your fault that you weren't there they put you in jail for crime you never committed. I know mom is watching smiling down that we finally know the truth, I always felt like something was missing and now I know what it was... It was you my father" Saying while tears run down my cheeks without hesitation he wraps his arms around me.

"I got you.. I got you baby girl" My father Ray says rocking me back and forth slowly as soft sobs escape my lips.

We pull them away from our embrace he looks at me an smiles as we go to turn around to walk back in the house to join everybody we stop to see them all of them standing on the other side of the patio smiling at us we glance at one another and just shake our heads before walking towards them I truly cannot believe them right now they all are definitely sneaky but I'm a little better at it, Vincenzo grabs my hand pulling me towards him kissing my cheek "You okay" he whispers in my ear nodding my head causing him to smile we all walk back into the house glancing at the clock noticing its 12 in the afternoon already sighing walking to the kitchen to find something to eat because my stomach is growling from hunger since I haven't eating anything i've only had coffee today which isn't such a good idea.

"Yummy" saying before bitting into my apple danish at the corner of my eye seeing Vincenzo leaning on the hall watching me sighing turning my head slightly towards him within the blink of an eye he pushes off the wall an begins to walks towards me almost like a predator that spotted his pray but yet what he fails to realize I'm no pray he wraps his arm around me as his fingertips softly dig into my side, smiling leaning my head on his chest enjoying the sweet romantic gesture that he's doing I'm lucky to have him as my fiancé thinking about what my father said about him and my mother it's kind same for me an him.

Looking up seeing him looking down at me causing my heart to flutter like majestic butterfly wings he brings his lips to mine they briefly touch for a moment enough to send a tingling sensation throughout my whole body our lips collide together almost like a tidal wave feeling his hand slap my ass hard whimpering pulling away shooting him a heated glare running my hand on my ass sighing he quickly pulls me towards him "Sorry" he says kissing my cheek before he begins to tickle me causing me uncontrollably like a little kid, catching my breath at the corner of my eye seeing my father Ray and my uncle Knoxs trying their hardest not to laugh at us grabbing his hand pulling him towards the couch to join our friends sitting down seeing that their playing spades without us shaking my head Layla an Joy both are amazing at cards so Arturo and Guido might want to watch out or they could lose their money that they put on the table.

"We won" Layla an Joy both nearly yell as they jump up and start to do their victory dance laughing they grab my hands jerking me up off the couch the join them in the victory dance while  everybody laughs at us but honestly we don't care we're having fun for once without any chaos suddenly we hear guns being shut off causing our fun moment to come to a complete stop "Kill them" we all hear one of the assassins yell as they run past the door my breathing begins escalade as everything seems to be slowing down around me, "Aurora" Vincenzo says causing me to snap out of it noticing their guns out "Hide" they yell as they run towards the door glancing over at Layla an Joy they both nod their heads as we run to the closest room which ironically has our guns in it that the guys confiscated from us awhile ago that they swore they would give back to soon as I was about to shut the door so we could hide one name was yelled loudly that sent a shiver down my spine Angelo.

"Angelo? He's here what the fuck! How we moved before he could find us!" Joy spats as she clenchs her fist.

"No one knows Joy!! But one thing is for sure we know what he's here for... Aurora" Layla says shaking her head causing me to clench my fist.

"It doesn't matter he's here now" Spatting looking towards my gun.

"It does matter Aurora that puts you in real danger!" Joy hiss clapping her hands causing me to look at her.

"Wait... What what are you thinking Aurora? I saw you looking at your gun what are you thinking about doing I should say" Layla asks while Joy looks at me.

"Remember our training? How we were only taught to use our guns for self-defense? And how if anyone ever threatened us we shoot them to bring them down but not to kill them?" Asking glancing back over at the guns especially my own.

"Yes we remember! What are you getting at Aurora?" Joy asks folding her arms in front of her sighing.

"I think I know where she's getting at she wants to shot him down" Layla stats causing me to grin devilishly.

"Exactly why not shoot him down before he can do any damage to anybody that we love? It's not like we're killing him we're just injuring him that's all" Saying while slowly running my fingertips on my gun.

"That's true... But one problem the guys are outside with him? How do we even know they haven't killed him yet?" Joy asks shaking her head slowly.

"We don't but I highly doubt they've killed him yet usually they torture first then kill" Layla says causing me to nod my head.

"It doesn't really matter I've already made up my mind, he was there when they decided to kill my mother. There's no way in hell I'm going to let him get away with that I just need one shot to bring him down to the ground" Saying picking up my gun looking at it.

"We got your back you know that, so we going full speed ahead or we doing it sneaky?" Layla asks picking up her gun smirking.

"I think sneaky because the guys will flip out if we run out there guns uh blazing" Joy says picking her gun up smirking looking at me and Layla.

"Then let's move out, but be quite we don't need them hearing us until the gun is fired, and well we walk out the house like queens" Saying opening the door looking back at them as they grin.

"Let's do this" They both say as we walk out the room with our guns in our hands.

Stealthily walking down the hallway tighting my grip on gun handle as my anger starts to rise remembering he was there when my mom died he was probably in on shooting her now this sick ass bastard is after me because of some twisted obsession he has I don't damn well think so I'm not some little bitch that can be pushed over an take orders hell no I give the damn orders looking around the corner seeing no one in the living room "Clear" saying as we make our way quickly into the room, moving towards the windows slowly lucky for us the blinds are shut glancing over towards Layla and Joy they both nod their heads as we start to slowly peek through the blinds my heart stops for a moment seeing a gun being pointing towards the people we love.

Quietly open the window lucky for me there's no screen blocking my way for what I'm about to do yet I'll have no damn regret that I'm about to shoot one of the men that was there when my mother died breathing in an out slowly despite the anger that's raging inside of me line my gun up so it's perfectly straight watching carefully "You'll die" the bastard says stepping forward towards the people that we love wrong move on him pulling the trigger BANG it's like time had slow down only for a moment though until his screams of agonizing pain loudly echoes through the window into my ears, smirking proudly backing up as we watch the guys look around to see who just shot Angelo turning my head towards Layla and Joy they both grin but I think it's time that the boys see who just brought him down walking towards the door taking a deep breath while opening the door slowly.

A different sensation runs through my body not quite sure what it is yet but whatever it is I like it tightening my grip on my gun as we walk outside everybody looks at us "What" hearing Damien say until he sees our guns he's jaw drops smirking walking towards Angelo who's rolling around on the ground in pain until his ugly eyes land on me "Bello" he breaths causing me kicking his side pointing my gun at him his eyes grew wide while anger washes over his face smiling looking at wound right on his hip damn that's got to hurt, glancing over to Vincenzo he shaking his head while my father Ray smiles "Ciao" saying backing up waving at him he trys to grab my leg to stop me but both Layla an Joy kick him in ribs while Arturo and Guido smile proudly the three of us have always been like that if one's about to be attacked the other to always step in alongside the other one it's basically our code but in my eyes they're also queen's in their unique ways.

Walking back towards the door to head inside because the three of us know we're going to be scolded for what we did now I understand what that feeling truly was fierce just like my father told me about my mother I guess I'll carry it on I'll be a force to be reckoned with, no one will ever mess with my family or friends unless they want this fierceful queen to come out and show them who's the boss honestly I think this is how my mother might have felt but the difference is I'm me and I make up my own rules I don't follow no one else's rules hopefully they'll understand and respect that.
