33: War 2

A M E L L I A

"We need to make sure first. I'll send someone there." Nikio said.

I just nodded, then walked away. I need some fresh air.

I'm at the veranda of Nikio's parents place. The air is soothing. Never knew Japan felt like this, I wish we just stayed here, maybe even a normal life.

Thinking about the place make me wonder, will I be able to see them now?

"You've been training, right?" Inigo who suddenly appeared beside me asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Let's see how much you've learned." He said as he pointed a knife on my neck.

I knew he was going to do that.

Instead of holding his hand to stop it, I kicked his leg and used my arm as a defense on his hands that was holding the knife, he feel to the ground but got up immediately.

I went as far as I could.

"Nice, that's some improvements." He complimented me.

"Yeah, now quit chattering and continue this test." I said challenging him.

He smirked.

He threw the knife at me which I dodged easily. He then came running to me then swinged his arm to punch me. I dodged that, but his feet was fast, he kicked me.

The kick wasn't too hard.

"What? Going easy on me?" I asked.

He looked at me amused. "You need to be able to fight. I need to go easy on you for now." He said.

"Well then, let's have a rematch after this." I challenged him.

"We're not even done yet, you're already thinking of doing a rematch?" He chuckled.

"Of course." I attacked him with a round house kick.

He didn't dodge it, instead, after receiving my kick he held my foot and pulled me to him. He carried me like a sack and threw me on the soft bench in the veranda.

He placed himself on top of me, his face close to mine, we're a few inches away from each other.

"Hey, you need to focus. This is your chance to kick me in the balls." He said as he stood up.

He offered his hand to help me get up, instead of using it as a leverage to get up, I switched our place, I'm now on top of him.

"And you should never help you opponent." I said.

"What? Are you going to kiss or you two will just keep on switching places?" I hear someone say.

I looked at the sliding door which is the entrance to the veranda, it's Nikio.

I immediately stand up feeling a little embarrassed.

"W-What do you mean?" I asked.

"I mean what I meant." He answered.

Inigo chuckled, "No, not now Nikio." He said then left.

He left me there shocked, Not now?!

Huh, as if.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You two should be honest with each other." Nikio said then left.

While I stayed at the veranda, I sat at the couch, holding my palm on my face as I feel a heat go through my face. I feel like that I look like a tomato right now.

"We got the Info!" I hear a loud shout.

I ran inside.

"Informant said that they saw Raven going in and out of that place. Sure enough, he's hiding them there."

"Prepare. I'll make out our plan to get in, Amellia, you think of our escape plan." Tio Manuel said which I obeyed quickly.

The Informant gave us a blueprint of the place.

There are 3 ways to get out, underground basement exit, emergency exit, and the main exit.

That means I could have 3 escape plan. The safest way out is the basement exit.

It is placed somewhere almost hidden, it leads to a somewhat forest place. It seems familiar to me.

I wrote and draw every possible way of getting out.

"We're ready." Inigo said.

I looked at them, they are ready. They're wearing a black top and pants, some are even wearing bullet proof vest. They all have a tool belt around them, everyone have a gun with them, with a silencer on.

Someone caught my attention, Inigo.

He's wearing a fitted top, it's hugging his body, showing his abs, his slim body is giving the type of body I've always wanted. He's perfect sculpture.

"Done looking, Mi amor?" I was kicked out of my thoughts when Inigo spoke.

"H-Huh? Y-Yeah." I turned around feeling my face turn red.

I hear Tio Manuel chuckle, I forgot I was in front of him. I'm having those thoughts about his son, in front of him! Arghh.

"Ehem, so now, here's our plan." Tio Manuel started.

"This is the blueprint. This is our only way in," Tio Manuel pointed at the entrance. "For sure, Raven kept a hefty amount of men there, we need to be careful, we can't make any noise until we get in." Tio Manuel explained.

"CCTVS will be taken care of Ojisan's people, I already talked to someone about that." I said.

"She'll update us as soon as she get her hands on the CCTV footages." I added.

My phone then rang.

"Hina."

"Done, you can peacefully go in, and I think you would rather be shocked by what you'll see." Hina said laughing a little.

Confused I tried to ask what she means but she ended the call.

Well, here goes nothing.

"We have 3 ways out, basement exit, emergency exit, and the main exit. Our best way out is the basement exit, it leads to a forest like place, but is near a road, that where our cars would wait." I explained.

"But just in case the basement exit won't work for us, our second option is the emergency exit, that'll lead us to the main road, our last option is the main exit, we'll end up in a place full of people if we exit there, that's the last thing we want after having a bloody fight." I added.

"Does everybody get that?"

"Yes"

"Yup"

"Got it."

"Well then, Amellia go ahead and dress up, we'll wait at the car." Tio Manuel said.

I ran upstair to 3rd floor, that's where they keep all of the weapons.

I decided to go with the color theme black, and wore a fitted long sleeve turtleneck together with a black leggings, I made sure that the gun I'm going to use is loaded, I'm also bringing a dagger and pocket knife with me.

I went to see if there any other things we could use. Smoke could be useful when we escape, a flashbang would also be useful, even a flare. I brought all of those with me then went outside where the car is waiting.

"Your gun has a silencer?" Inigo asked.

"Yes" i answered then showed my gun to him.

I'm the car with Inigo, Nikio, Isabel, Isabella, Nakio, and Nishiro. The others are in the car in front of us.

"Hey, you two." Nishiro called the attention of Inigo at Nikio, "Stick with the plan." He said his eyes showing how serious he is.

"Hai" Nikio nodded.

"Sí" Inigo nodded.

"Amellia, just don't hurt yourself." Isabella said to me which I just nodded.

I looked outside remembering the place.

"Amellia, come here baby." Mom called.

The little me then ran to her, "Ma-ma"

"Yes baby, mama's here." She picked me up.

We're at the park, we're in japan.

"Look baby, there's Dada and your brothers." She said while pointing at the running boys.

"Lia, look what I made for you." Hendriz who was smiling so widely gave me a bracelet made out of flowers.

"Ell you look so cute." young Alec said then took me from Mom's arms.

"Careful, Alec." Mom reminded.

Alec held me carefully with care and love, I was smiling at him, clinging my arms onto his shoulders.

"Don't grow up to quickly, Ell." He said then kissed my forehead.

I just smiled at him and he also smiled at me.

"Smile you two." I heard Mom say.

Alec looked at mom who was holding a camera while I kept on looking at Alec. I heard the shutter click yet still I'm looking at Alec.

"Look at the camera, Ell." He said.

I finally looked at the camera and so does Alec.

"Amellia, you okay?" I was brought back to reality when Inigo tapped me.

"Y-Yeah. Absolutely." I answered.

"We're here, ready up." Isabella said.

"Wear this." Nishiro gave us an earpiece.

It's connected to everyone, I could hear them.

"On my count." Tio Manuel said.

"3, 2, 1, go!" With Tio Manuel's order we get out of he car and started going our way in.

Nikio smacked the man in front of the entrance.

When we got in, we were shocked to see that there is no one here at all.

We immediately went our way to the basement where Dad and the others are, only to see then untied and fighting the others.

I just stood there looking at them shocked.

"Gosh, you all took that long? Geez, we started to get bored, you know?" Xandrix said as he punched another guy who were attacking him.

"Why are we even here?" I asked.

I just rolled my eyes and sat there, why did I even worry about them? That's them, of course they'll find a way to get out of this shit.

"Come on, Amellia trained for months for this." Tio Manuel said while laughing.

I just sat there, unbelievable. But then my phone rang.

"Hina, I get what you mean now." I said.

"You all need to get out of there. It was a trap." Hina said.

"What? What do you mean?" I asked as I signalled everyone to prepare to escape.

"A time bomb is planted there. Raven is still inside, he's planning to kill all of you with him. Get out, now!" Hina said.

"We need to get out. NOW!" I shouted as we all ran.

"What the hell is happening?" Xander asked.

"Bomb is planted inside, Raven is trying kill us with him." I answered.

"Fucking hell!" I cursed when I saw all the man that will try to stop us.

A hundred or two.

"Amellia, you have 10 minutes to get out of there. Finish that off quickly." Hina said.

"Got it." I said.

"10 minutes everyone. Finish them." I commanded.

With that the fight started.

Dad and my brothers are fighting at least 6 men at the same time. We take on what we can.

I've been shooting this dumbshits from a far, some got close to me now my shirt has blood on it.

Others are also full of blood, Inigo is having fun slitting their throats out, Nikio is having his own world while kicking some asses.

While again, here I am who just lost ammo.

"Oh fuck it." I said then started having hand to hand combat.

I was having some fun with these men when I was hit with something metal like in the back, I looked at the man who just used a metal pipe to hurt me.

"Oh you dumb piece of shit." Is all I said before my brothers and cousin attacked him.

"You really dared use that on our princess ha?" Alec coldly said.

"Excuse me boys." I pushed them out of the place.

They all looked at while ai'm smiling holding the metal pipe.

"Oh dear lord, you're a mess, look that face... It's not enough!" I said as hit him with the metal pipe until his face bleed out, he's unrecognizable.

"I know you're having fun and all, but hey, 3 minutes to get out." Hina warned.

We all started running out again, goid thing we're close enough.

We all went out and made our way to the main road.

"Get as far as you could." Hina said.

"We're in the car." I told her.

"Good, 3, 2, 1." And with that the building is crushed into pieces.

"Oh gosh that was fun." Xan said.

I'm happy, yet I feel uncomfortable. Then I heard gunshots.

"Shit. Raven got out, he's chasing you all." Hina cursed.

"It's Raven." I told them.

"I could see that." Alec said.

I looked at our back, he's riding a motorbike towards us.

He's fast that he ends up catching up to us. But what caught my attention was the one riding with him holding a gun.

"Evelia..." She pointed the gun at me then shot me.

I got hit in the shoulder.

"Arghh!" I shouted in pain.

I only got shot in shoulder because Alec shot Evelia's hand.

The car stopped. We immediately got out.

Raven could die easily, it us agaisnt him and Eve. But looks like Eve is just another toy for him.

He pulled Eve and pointed a gun to his head.

Eve looked scared, like she didn't expect this.

"Give yourself up Amellia, be mine. My family is also rich, I could give you anything. With you I could get mom and dad to acceot me again." He started crying while saying that.

"That or I kill this bitch." He said still pointing the gun at Eve.

"A-Amellia, please... Stop him! I still want to live! Please... Amellia." She pleaded.

I looked at her dead in the eye, Evelia is dead. The Evelia I know would never hurt me.

"You're not her. You're not Evelia, she would never hurt me." I coldly told her.

"Amellia! I'm sorry okay? H-He said tjat if I kill you I'll get mom and dad back, that you'll be gone from my life!" She exolained which made my blood boil.

"Gone from your life?! All I did was to protect you! Take care of you, change those filthy diapers when your own mother won't take care of you! Take every beating for you, so that you wouldn't feel the same way I did! You watched me get molested, you watched your father touch me, but I never hated you! You're a kid, but I also was." I angrily shouted at her.

I don't feel an ounce of mercy or care for her. She just cried there.

"Enough with your reunion! Now, looks like you're still of no use to me." He said.

He lets her go, she goes running but before she could go far he shot her in the head.

Alec pulled me to him, my face on his chest.

"You shouldn't be seeing this." He said.

Guns are pointed at Raven since earlier, but he isn't scared at all.

"Now, give Amellia to me, or I press this button that'll blow this place into pieces."

"No." Alec firmly said.

"Haha, you really think you'll get away from this don't you?!" He evilly laughs.

Then I heard a gunshot, 2 gunshots.

I felt blood dripping to my face, I looked at Alec who was shot at his right arm like mine, but his are nearly close to his heart.

"A-Alec!" Alec sat.

"I'm fine, Bambina." He said.

I didn't care who else was shot, all I know is that I'm worried about Alec.

"No you're not!" I shouted, crying.

I looked behind, there I saw Raven lying there bloodied. But I didn't care.

"Killem's group are on their way." Enzo said.

"For the meantime, we'll take care of your shoulders." Lorenz said.

Alec looks like he's about to pass out any moment, mine's not too deep, but Alec's is.

"Don't worry much about Alec. He'll be fine." Lorenz tried coping.

A couple of minutes later Killem finally reached our place and is now taking Alec inside of the Ambulance.

I was looking at them while they put Alec who's in a stretcher inside the Ambulance when we again heard gunshots. Alec was hit again, but this time I felt a pain that I couldn't compare to any of those beatings I received.

I could feel my world spin around as everyone around me either ran to Alec and Me.

Before my eyesight finally blacked out I heard another gunshot.

A O

Amellia and Alec was shot. I couldn't stop myself anymore, out of all of us, I'm the last to kill anyone. The last time I killed someone was when I thought I was going to die and needed to protect myself.

But right now... I ran to Giovanni who was nearest one to me. I took his gun and shot it at Raven's head. Everyone was shocked, but right now I could care less. I coldly looked at the cold body in front of me.

Everyone's taking care of Amellia and Alec, remember how my sister fainted made it even more worse, I shot him again in the head, I just kept on shooting at his head, to the point that he's unrecognizable.

"Ao, stop... Put the gun down. We need to follow them to the hospital." Gio placed his hand on my hand, guiding my hand slowly.

He took the gun, then hugged me. That's when my tears finally came out.

"I know, Ao, I know." He just hugged.

It's only the two of us here, the other are already at the hospital.

"Let's go." He said then pulled me to his car, we drove to the hospital in total silence.

When we got there, Uncle is crying. They're still under operation.

Uncle saw me, stood up then hugged me.

"You okay, buddy?" He asked, his tears are still falling.

"Yes, Uncle."

"Dad..." Xandrix came and hugged him, we all did.

"Fuck... I can't loose one of them, I most certainly can't loose both of them. I just can't. My princess, she just came back to us. She isn't even 18 yet. Alec have dreams, he have a family to go home to. Oh fuck. I can't afford to loose them, I will never forgive myself." Uncle cried.

"My babies. Please... I love them too much, just give their pain to me." It's as if he's praying now.
