??? ???? ???????…
Ryat awoke to cackling that increased the agonizing throbbing in his head. He cracked one eye open to see who is laughing but all he met was blurred images and white stars floating around in the air. A cough erupted from his throat and he groaned. Voices started talking around him but his brain failed to translate what they were saying. He felt completely disoriented, almost falling right back into unconsciousness when he felt a hand on his cheek. The softest fingers he’d ever felt before gently caressed his skin providing a soothing feeling for him. In took time, but with the help of this angel–or whoever had that soft hand–he felt okay enough to open his eyes.
“Ryat,” a tiny voice invaded his mind. It sounded clear and concerned. “Ryat, please wake up.”
His eyes instantly popped open with a slight sense of panic, he came across the ceiling of the living room without chandelier lights brightly shining. Ryat placed his elbows beside him and tried to get up, he glanced to his left and met Meira pouting sadly at him. There was a white bandaid on the right side of her cheek, and she was practically shaking in fear. This angered every demon that dwelled in hus dark soul–he felt murderous seeing her in such a state.
“Dude, you okay?” he heard Venom asking from above him. He looked to his right and Venom, Korpse and Bandit all looking down at him. They looked tired with dark circles under their eyes and messy hair–it was an immediate indication that something wasn’t right. His friends always keeps themselves neat and well-groomed, especially…
????.
“Where’s Neon?” he asked, throat dry. “Where the Füçk is Zayde?”
“Mexico,” an oddly familiar female voice said. “My men raided the hideout we found at the last minute but they all died, bombs were at every corner. They’ve slipped through our fingers, but no need to worry, since I didn’t the chance to k!ll the heir of the Paloma Cartel, you will.”
Ryat, the boys and Meira, threw annoyed looks at Lady Danger sitting in a chair crocheting a black scarf. She was incredibly focused on the craft.
“What the Füçk are you talking about?” Korpse gripped the top of the couch, his anger bubbling inside him.
“Do not curse at me, boy.”
“You f–” Venom stopped Korpse from cursing at her again. At first, he was angry but Venom reminded him that they were meb dressed in black from their heads to their souls carrying long black g*ns. The best decision right now is do behave and do as she says. “Fine, but don’t expect an from me apology. Why do you look like Mrs. Hamilton anyway?”
“Donata De Leone is my twin sister. I was raised in an Italian country side, she was raised in the Rome. We met for the very first time at the age of twenty-four in a local Café she owned.”
“What was my dad talking about?” Ryat pulled Meira next to him then snaked an arm around her waist, he made her rest her head on his shoulder.
Donatella stopped crocheting and sighed, she neatly packed everything into a little black back them crossed her legs with a cigar between her fingers. A man came and lit it for her.
“Your mother was infertile. As her sister, she trusted me and told me everything–and I do mean everything. She badly wanted to have a child, that was her only wish, so asked me to be a Surrogate. I agreed. We went to a private hospital and you know the rest. However, during the entire pregnancy I and your father had an affair behind her back. After you were born she doted on your like crazy, giving us more space to freely cheat. When she eventually found out she divorced Theodore and kicked me out of her home–not only did she do that, she made her men gang r*** me for umpteenth months. They kept me locked in a warehouse and did all sorts of things to me. For many of the sessions, your mother was there and watched me get ab*sed with cold eyes,” Dona took a draw from the cigar and released the smoke through her nostrils. “After three years, I was freed. She made sure I was never able to get a legal job. Now, I took am unable to get pregnant. She herself removed my womb. Your mother was also the highest paid surgeon in America at that time.
“If you’ve ever wondered why did your father ever ab*se you, it was because of this. He never loved Donata, he married her for her money. Theodore loved me as I loved him. We kept in contact over the years, he helped me out financially but eventually I joined a local gang to make a more mula. He did all those things to you behind her back because he blamed you for ruining everything, and I never cared enough to stop him. I don’t regret sleeping with Theodore. I ?????, and these are coming straight from my heart, liked your mother. She was everything I wasn’t; stunningly beautiful, highly respected and highly feared, intelligent beyond her years, had a body to d** for, mingled with A-list Celebrities, had a successful modeling career and not only was she a ruthlessly dangerous crime lord, she was ruthlessly successful as well. There is so much more but we’d be here all day if I listed them.
“I wanted to be her, but no matter what I did I would always be the pink to her red; the shade of her. So, over the years I stayed in America and moved back to this community–but I made sure she didn’t know. I and Theodore continued our affair. I used to purposely tell him lies on you so he’d beat you, break your arm, treat you like a wild animal. Time passed and I grew tired of living in secret, I begged Theodore to k!ll you and leave his wife but he refused…so I paid Angelica to lie on you and helped in sending you to prison in the hopes of you getting k!lled there. Then I asked Theodore to poison your mother’s mind, convince her that you’ve r***d women many times and did worse things. That’s why she hardly visited you, but his words weren’t enough to make her h@të you, though she loved him and believed everything he said. Finally, I grew fed up and forced him to k!ll Donata by threatening to leave him forever. He did just that and I rejoiced. With her d**d I finally dropped Theodore because he was useless to me and moved to Italy, I grew respect as the sister of Donata De Leone but I never got on her level. Her influence was too much.
“But, this…this is may be my chance. By the elders in Ravenhood I was tasked to find you and bring you back alive to Italy. From there, I and other masters would train you day and night to become as great as your mother. If I succeeded it would bring me right where I want to be; on top. I would climb the ranks and become a made-woman in the Ravenhood Italian-Sicilian crime organization. I would secure a position as an official Capo, and I’d be your permanent mentor,” by the time she finished she had smoke two more cigarettes. “That was quite a mouthful. I do hope you now understand everything. I’m also your mother, I gave birth to you, but I am also your aunt. We are family. Another thing, you’ll have to get your first name changed to an Italian one, but that can be done later. I never expected you to dominate the prison nor the town, but you did, I feel proud of you, my son. Now you’re gonna make me even prouder if you agree to leave America and come with me to Italy. Your true home.”
There was icy silence at the end of her explanation. Not even hearts dared to beat too loudly. No one knew what to say, or had anything to say. Her words were too unbelievable.
“So… You’re the problem them. You did this. You caused all of this because you were envious of your sister,” Bandit held his chest, his eyes wide. “I used to hear Neon say ‘Love gets you hurt and trust gets you k!lled’. He was right. I can’t imagine what… What Mrs. Hamilton must’ve went through knowing her sister, her own flesh and blood, would do such a thing. Mankind has no love.”
“I do hope my story inspires you youngsters to not trust people. No matter what they say, or do, keep your guard up; because the moment you drop it is when they’ll strike,” Donata ordered the men to get a glass of another expensive brand of wine. “Evil exists in this world and it comes in the form of broken people. If you’ve ever heard the term ‘Damaged people are dangerous’ now you have proof of it. I’d do it all over again if I had to.”
“You caused everything…” Ryat hardly managed to form a proper sentence. “I lost five years of my life because of you.”
“But you’re here now, aren’t ya? Get over it. Some people have gone through worse,” Lady Danger stood up and emptied the contents in the glass down her throat. “As for your Mexican friend, he was taken by members of his father’s gang. He’s lucky he was taken because I would’ve k!lled him if he wasn’t. I don’t know much about what the Paloma Cartel are doing but I’m sure he’s at their official hideout. Anyways, I have to go. Because I’m your mother and I’m generous I’ll give you one week to say ‘Goodbye’ to your friends, you cute sister here and everyone you know. Once you leave you’re never coming back; I forbid you to. I need to focus on k!lling Wolfgang because the people I sent to get his head d**d in milliseconds. That man is so hard to k!ll.”
“Wait, you know Wolfgang? The real one?” Venom asked. “How?”
“Listen, boy. There are two gangs that have been at each other’s neck for over fifty years now. The Paloma Cartel, or the Doves, which orginated in Mexico. Then there’s the Ravenhood, or the Ravens, we orginated in Italy-Sicily. They wear all white and we wear all black. In some parts or the world anyone caught in those colors get k!lled,” she snapped, “just like that. Some decades ago another gang was created in Russia, The Wolvez. They wear grey. At first, they were supposed to stoo the bloody war between the Paloma Cartel and Ravenhood but they joined the other side and began fighting against us. Their signature color is gray; a mixture of our black and The Doves’ white. As a member of the Ravenhood, Wolfgang who is the founder and leader of the Wolvez, is my enemy. It’s the same thing with you and Zayde.”
“What the hell do you mean?” Ryat stood up angrily. “What do you mean Zayde and I?”
“Your mother and his father were Leaders of the most violent gangs ever created in the world’s history. You are their first children–so therefore you are heirs to their empires. Which means your friends is not your friend. You two were archenemies before birth, and you still are. Your past with each other is irrelevant. You’re enemies and if I, or any one of my men, or ??? see him anywhere he must be k!lled on spot,” Lady Danger slipped into her long black fur coat. “To end this war one gang has to annihilate the other and make sure regrouping is impossible. That includes wiping out all heirs to the throne, so you know what that means. One of you has to d**, and it better be him–it must be him.”
She turns to gracefully walk out after saying everything needed to say but Ryat ran to her. The men of course held him back. “Wait! I’m not going anywhere with you. Don’t touch Neon or I’ll k!ll you myself! He’s my best friend. We’re not enemies and we never will be!”
“What language were the men speaking when your Grandfather died?” she calmly looked over her shoulder at him.
Ryat stopped fighting, brows furrowing. He thought about the dreadful night. He thought hard and deeply then answered her ridiculous question.
“Spanish. They were speaking Spanish.”
“What race is your friend?”
“Mexican.”
“What do Mexicans speak?”
“Spanish…” he grew irritated with her. She wasn’t answering his questions. “What the hell does this have with do with anything?”
“When your Grandfather d**d what did the men do afterward?”
“They…ran off to a black car.”
“Who did you see in that black car?”
“A man. He was in a white suit with diamonds at the front, he had brown had eyes and…” his heart plummeted at the realization. It felt like a red hot knife had just cut through his heart.
Lady Danger smiled and signaled them to release him. Ryat dropped to his knees when they did. She turned to look at the door being held open by two men.
“That’s right. Zayde’s father had your Grandfather k!lled, and he.would’ve done the same if he had found you,” she checked her watch. “Your one week starts now at exactly seven a.m., I will be back after the seven days had passed to come get you. In the meantime, you will be monitored twenty-four-seven. Your curfew begins at seven at the night. Be a good boy until mommy’s back. ????? ??? ???,” she placed her hat on the walked out with all of her men trailing behind her in neat formats.
Ryat wondered how did she know what happened that night since she wasn’t there, but right now, he’s too baffled to even want to know. He was too stunned to speak, literally. Zayde’s father k!lled his grandfather, Ryat’s father k!lled his mother, what next? At this point anything can happen. His life had just spiralled into one big mess he can’t escape from.
“Can’t you…can’t you runaway?” Meira meekly spoke, her voice barely louder than a whisper.
“They’ve got eyes on him. If he tries they’ll just speed up the process,” Korpse jumped over the couch and sat with her. “He barely got the chance to mourn his father’s d**th.”
“One week,” Venom was trying his hardest to hold back tears. “One week to say Goodbye? Is she crazy? He can’t leave… He just can’t leave… Not again,” his tears finally fell, wetting his hands and the carpet.
Bandit was already a sobbing mess beside him, the two hugged each other with breaking hearts. Korpse wiped his tears but each time he did more fell. Just says earlier, this place wws filled with laughter and joy, now it was pain, silence and depression. Does it ever surprise you just how fast the night changes? Because it sure did leave them shocked and equally devastated.
“Ryat…” Meira made her way to Ryat, hands on his cheek. “Please don’t h@të Neon, he took is going through a similar thing. This isn’t his, or your fault,” she hugged him, he didn’t react at first, but after a while he gave in hugged her back. Tightly. As if he’d never see her again.
Because he wasn’t.
“Ryat, please don’t leave me,” she gripped his shirt and cried into his neck. Her mother was in the hospital, Katniss is busy getting therapy for her trauma, Neon was kidnapped and shipped off to Mexico, now Ryat’s crazy surrogate mom wants to take him too. Everyone’s leaving her one by one. Even Theodore is d**d–they buried him in the yard under the Wisteria tree near the Gazebo. “I don’t wanna be alone. Please… Please stay…”
Her cries shattered his very soul, but it was no longer up to him. The only way to escape this was d**th.
Venom, Bandit and Korpse came over and hugged the two of them. It provided him with some comfort, but the fact that they were gonna take him away by force loomed over there head like a dark rain cloud ready to burst.
The cried together until claimed that sun. They had no appetite to eat even when the maids offered food. They just remained in that position, thinking about the things they’ve been through to together, only for that wicked woman to come and tear them apart. Heck, she was generous, they didn’t get to say a proper goodbye to Neon.
The Bloodlust Bastards originally had seven members. The other two were Ace(Lucifer) and Ajay(Satan) Rivera; twins. They were burnt alive in their home. Things have never been the same since their passing, the boys never recovered. Now two more members were leaving; one had already left against his will.
What’s going to happen to them now?
