I have no idea what was going on, but Angelo began to reach for his back pocket where he then pulled out a shotgun.

"Angelo, what are you doing?!" I question with pure shock, he aims the gun at Enzo as he puts me into a head lock, unable to move. My eyes travel to Enzo who is confused to what is going on.

"Who are you!?" Enzo questions Angelo with a shout, but Angelo's grip tightens.

I make contact with the floor as Angelo threw me but I heard the shot gun go off, leaving the bullet to fly to Enzo's direction, but I couldn't see. Everything went dark.

I wake up from the lamp flickering above my head leaving me to gain a headache from the unwanted annoyance. I look around and find Enzo on the floor and his hand placing it on his chest as tight as he could. My heels start to clap along the floor as I jog towards Enzo's body on the floor.

I try and move his body but it's easier said than done. The back door bursts open and a gentleman with brown curly hair, his body stands tall but his eyes strike through mine with anger.

"What the fuck have you done?!" He shouts as loudly as he can and his fists clench along with his jaw.

"Wait!" I shout and plead for his attention. His eyes deepen through mine as they fill with anger.

"What, you're stupid!" His Italian accent is strong just like Enzo's.

"Someone else shot him, not me!" I squeal and I help to carry Enzo with the help from the other gentleman who has calmed down.

We arrive to my car where I put Enzo in the backseat.

"He's a family friend, I'll take him to my uncles house, but can you find my friend?" I question and raise a brow but a smile begins to form on his face.

"Oh, so you're the mafia girl, I'm Leo." He says with a larger smile, I give the name to him so Elisa could come out.

Leo faced Elisa and I, she stared at us deeply.

"I'll dive, you're both over the alcohol limit." He says and we nod, I give Leo the directions to my uncle's home.

Orlando jogs out along with my uncle who collects Enzo and places him in our 'mini hospital' area. Enzo lays on the bed as Nicolas comes out to face Elisa, Leo and I.

"Elisa, Orlando will take you home." Elisa nods and gives me a tight hug and says goodbye. I stand side by side with Leo where we wait patiently for some news.

"Arianna, what happened?" My uncle questions, I sigh before I can get all my words out.

"Well, Angelo and I were going to make-out, I think. Enzo found us and Angelo knew his name and then threw me to the floor but shot Enzo." I sigh and guilt hits me, I didn't mean for Enzo to get shot. I thought I could trust Angelo. Clearly not.

Dante and Bruno come down from the large stairs and look down to the floor.

"Angelo was a rat." Bruno claims and reaches for the small tablet in his back pocket. We all gasp as my father arrives and stands by us all.

"His real name is Viktor." Bruno says and my father instantly interrupts.

"The new leaders of the Black Eagles!" My father exclaims with anger, he pinches the bridge of his nose with frustration and Nicolas just looks the same. Frustrated. Angry.

We all stand there confused on what action we should take next; the black eagles are amongst us once more with a new leader. Viktor.

The day dragged on, I decided to train, I was sweaty and wanted to check in Enzo so I decided to have a quick cold shower.

I let the water run its freezing liquid and let it travel all over my body, I quickly scrub my body and soon took an exit out of the shower to then wrap my body up in a towel, I didn't see much point in 'dressing up' so all I wore was a pair of black leggings along with a simple grey hoodie with some black trainers. I wasn't going to put any makeup on and I was just going to leave my hair up in a high ponytail, which sat tickling the back of my neck.

I hung up my towel and made sure every electrical was off before grabbing my keys and locking the door behind me, the hall was empty and silent, I stroll down the stairs to then be faced with pouring rain.

The rain didn't want to ease either, I lift my grey hood over my dark hair and ran to my uncle's home where Enzo would be staying for a little while.

I arrive at the house and watch as the gates opened slowly for my presence. I watch as they closed back behind me and I balled up my fist to knock on the large double doors, where no one answered. I sigh and knock once more. But once again. No answer. I peak through the large window and don't see any figures move, not even the maid.

I turn the knob of the door and open it enough to slide my body through the gap, I close it behind me and wait for someone to think a robber had turned up and was about to steal their valuables. But there was no one around, no shoes clapping against the floor, no one shouting, no one even talking or breathing.

I walk down to where Enzo would be sleeping and found him lying in the hospital bed, unconscious. He looks so peaceful but yet at war as he fights over his battle wound, he had been awarded.

His chest was covered but exposed at the same time, he had no top on but the bandages wrapped around his chest to prevent any infections from this evil world. I sigh and took a seat next to Enzo, I know Enzo and I don't talk often, but no one deserves to get shot... Unless they're a bad person, yet Enzo isn't even in the mafia, he is a big business man with a lot of money with connections to the mafia. Not being a member of it or an upcoming mafia boss.

"Enzo?" I question his consciousness, but he is still fast asleep, unable to communicate. I sigh and look at the wires tied up all over his body to monitor how he is holding up.

"You're still asleep then." I state the obvious and receive no response, not even a flinch of body movement.

"Well, I'm glad you did come just in time, I have no idea what this Angelo or Viktor man would've done to me if you hadn't turned up, so... Thank you Enzo."

I watch as his body still didn't move, the fluids moving around the tubes and wires to keep his body going.

Her soft voice makes my mind wake from the coma-like experience I have had, I have no way to communicate to her, but I can hear what she's saying. I want to reply back to her, tell her I'm glad she's here, but. I want to question why she's here, she could be anywhere else right now and she's decided to come here, to see me.

"Enzo?" She questions me with her soft voice, I can feel her smiling even when I can't see it and my eyes are fully closed, unable to open.

"You're still asleep then." She states the obvious which makes me want to laugh, but I can't. I can't even move.

"Well, I'm glad you did come just in time, I have no idea what this Angelo or Viktor man would've done to me if you hadn't turned up, so... Thank you Enzo."

Her words as she thanks me, makes me feel happy and warm. No one usually cares for me, I haven't been able to see my parents in ages, I'm due to pay them a visit, but I can't.

Small things, big things. I can't do them. I can hear Arianna's soft voice still talking to me, thanking me. But her voice is slowly going as I hear the scratch of a chair run along the floor.

"Sorry." She apologises for her actions which wasn't really necessary, she didn't do it on purpose, plus she doesn't know I'm awake slightly and can hear it.

"Sleep tight Enzo." Her voice suddenly goes and I can't smell her scent anymore, it's disappeared and is no longer running up my nose and through my veins, injecting me with the drug of her.

I lay here, helpless. I want to move, get up. But I can't and the frustration is getting to me. The monitor begins to beep and alarm off the horrendous sound.

I hear footsteps running to the room and clicking buttons on the machine to control whatever it is going on.

"What's going on?" I hear Arianna's soft voice enter back through the room.

"You need to leave." Another woman said almost in an aggressive tone.

"What?" I hear Arianna question and squeal as she is excited out of the room, I'm not sure who by but she's gone.
