It was late, midnight nearly in fact and here we all were, sat around preparing ourselves for the worst yet again. I glance at Arianna who looks almost petrified, I want to hug her tightly and tell her that everything will be okay, that we will get through this all together. But could I promise? I don't know.

Half of us were falling asleep, but my father stood closely to the window and stared out, there was no way he was sleeping tonight. Not a chance.

"Dad?" I raise my brow and went over to see him but his eyes were glued to the window and the environment outside of the mansion barrier. "You okay?" I continue with conversation.

"Tired, but I'll be okay." I put my hand on my father's shoulder to show him my care. I part my lips and begin to speak.

"Maybe you should rest dad." I suggest but he shakes his head, refusing to take a seat and rest his mind as well as his eyes.

I stare at Arianna who almost looks like she's about to sleep but a large bang emerging on the door, everyone jumps and their eyes go wide.

My father and I stare out of the window and notice the amount of black range rovers that now cover the whole of the property.

"Shit." I mutter then one brought a speaker close to their lips and they began to talk with their strong Russian accent.

"Step out of the house." They say and we all look at one another, some of us look scared, worried or prepared.

"You have a few minutes otherwise we'll come in and blow out your brains!" They exclaim then the sudden shriek of the speaker goes off. We all look at each other and feel worried.

"Right, Dante you go with Orlando on the left side of the house." Dante and Orlando both nod at Nicolas' commands and obey. Nicolas parts his lips one more time and continues. "Enzo, you go with your father and take the left side of the house." I nod as does my father and Arianna looks up at him with curiosity.

"Arianna will come with me." We all nod and head out of the living room, we all grab our weapons and prepare for battle.

I pick up my dual knifes and decide to also go with Dante's tip of taking a gun and tucking it behind my back. I pack a smaller knife in my boot and head out with my father on the left side of the house. We were thankful that Maria and Bruno were still in the house, luckily Bruno had a gun just in case of an emergency.

My father and I hide behind a set of cars where we can't be seen, I glance over at the right side and see Dante and Orlando with their weapons.

I sigh and begin to shoot at those who are trying to hide. I suddenly see Sergei turn and shoot out.

"Get down!" My father shots and pounces on me to force my body down.

"Thanks." I state. Shootings go off louder as Orlando enters the scene, he glides over the car and begins to shoot out, Dante soon follows and shoots one of the members in the head. I look over and smile at how determined they are but realise I have to get into the game too.

I slide across the car and pull the gun out from my back; I shoot out and gain a few bodies on the floor. We all pant and chase one another. I'm face to face with one of the men who has their fists clenched together and it collides with my jaw. I spat out and used my gun to hit them across the head.

Blood pours from the side but they weren't finished, he pulls out a knife and slices my arm, I groan and used my gun to let out a bullet through his chest. I watch as his body fell onto its knees and fall down, pale and lifeless.

"Enzo!" Dante shouts when reality hit that there was someone charging at me, I threw my knife at them in the chest which only made them angry, they threw themselves at me and pushes me to the floor, Dante ran over and pushed him over and cut him with his knife. A small grin full of satisfaction was painted over his lips.

I roam around with Nicolas with a gun held tight to my chest, we stumble over already dead bodies. I sigh and nearly fall but thankfully my uncle Nicolas held me up tight to let me remain my balance.

"Thank you." I say and Nicolas nods, we head to the top of the stairs where we begin to pull out our snipers and begin to fire. I take in a deep breath and look through the scope to only see multiple men standing and waiting for our gang to attack. Will we win? Maybe.

Enzo's words kept replying in my mind that he's here for me and the gang, he isn't going to turn his back and that's one of the reasons why I love him. He's loyal, loving and caring. I got lucky that's for sure, I'm just lucky he can handle a gun. I chuckle at the thought and begin to focus on the scope. I notice one gang member also pull out a sniper, but luckily enough I was able to shoot him before he could take one look at his surroundings.

I shoot one after the other like a stack of dominos, I feel satisfied and notice Dante pushing the other members over and slicing them with his dual knifes, I chuckle and snipe other individuals.

Most of our enemies have been shot and thankfully we all seem to be safe, for now...

Uncle Nicolas and I roam back into the mansion, but is all seems too simple. We watch as Bruno, Enzo and Franco all stand completely still with a face full of horror. My uncle and I are puzzled at their facial expressions but notice Dante and Orlando repeating that same expression. We walk closer and closer and we notice Sergei holding someone behind him, we all are shocked and lost for words.

"Sergei... Let her go." My uncle's voice is soft and calm considering his wife is being held hostage.

"No, you've always wanted to demolish us. And for what? Your father was the same!" Sergei exclaims as he grits his teeth, all you could see was pure anger behind his busted-up eye, the chances of his nose being broken was high too.

"Sergei, please, leave Maria alone." My uncle's voice has gone softer and I stare at Bruno and Dante.

Bruno looks scared and worried; he almost looks like he's going to cry and Dante. Well Dante looks angry.

"Just let her fucking go!" Dante exclaims and tries to step forward but Sergei pushes the gun closer to my auntie's head, causing her to cry out and have a face full of worry.

"Sergei, I won't ask again, let my wife go!" Nicolas' voice grows more demanding, we only hope that Sergei will listen, but if he's anything like his father, he'll do anything but.

The tension grows in the room and it's full of silence, minus the cries coming from Maria's mouth, I'm even scared for her and feeling the tears want to erupt from my eyes.

"What do you want Sergei?" My uncle asks, trying to keep his distance, I can see that he's struggling not to just run up to her and help, but I can see him breaking also.

"To see you all in pain. I want you to know what it feels like!" He exclaims loudly making everyone aware that he is of course in charge.

"Fuck it I've had enough!" Dante exclaims but a shot goes off just as he begins to move. The gun shot echoes throughout the whole of the house, but then everything suddenly goes silent.
