I was at home on the couch watching TV with my German shepherd Rocco when I got a message from dad saying he wouldn't be home for a few days.
this was just typical dad. Whenever he got a job or even got into a sticky situation he wouldn't be home for a week even after things were finished.
I get it, he's a mobster and he could be being stalked but still, couldn't he at least
text me to tell me he's ok?
I worry, a lot.
I sighed and put my phone down to pet Rocco. He yawned and stretched out over my legs
I smiled and leaned back on the couch watching some Cartoons. I'm an adult, sure, but I still love cartoons.
I yawned and layed down, Rocco curled up at my feet and I slowly drifted off to sleep
I woke to the sound of a loud "Bang"
I sat up and looked around, Rocco was at my feet growling. I remembered dad kept a gun in the side table next to the couch. I didn't know how to use it but I grabbed it out and pointed it at the doorway
I was shaking a bit because usually dad would message if someone was coming to check up on me, only reason he'd message me if he was out.
I could hear several voices getting closer, they were all men, maybe three- four of them. Sound like they're in their mid 20s.
Dad taught me how to know a person just by their voice, it's a good skill to have when you're probably on everyone's kill list
I looked at Rocco who strangely quit growling and was now just sitting there.
I looked back at the doorway where four men emerged
They weren't anyone I'd ever met before, and I know all of dad's acquaintances. At least I think I do....
I kept the gun pointed at them and one of the men raised his hands
"Woah there little lass, you wouldn't want to hurt anyone now would ya?" He had an Irish accent, it was thick and honestly sexy- Wait what am I thinking!? Get on track girl!
I gave them a stern look and spoke "Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my house!?"
One of the men, who was carrying a sword, spoke up "You're father called us to take in for safety reasons"
I didn't believe him for a second
"Bullshit! He would have messaged me-" As I finish my sentence my phone buzzes
I pick up my phone still keeping the gun pointed at them
It's a message from dad saying some people are going to bring me somewhere to keep me safe
I looked back at them, the man with the sword smirked "As you were saying?" I glared at him and put the gun down
The man with the accent grabbed me by my arm and almost literally dragged me to their car outside
Rocco obediently followed behind another one of the men
After a very long ride we arrived at a large mansion, it looked bigger than mine and dad's.
I stepped out of the car and was once again, almost literally dragged into the mansion
I pulled my arm back "I don't appreciate being man handled! I'll have a talk with dad about your behavior!"
The man who has been buddying up with Rocco shrugs "Does it look like we care?"
I looked at the men who definitely did not look amused whatsoever. I sighed and sat down
A man, who I assumed was the leader, cleared his throat getting everyone's attention
"I believe introductions are in order. My name is Jason, I'm the leader here and you will address me as such." His tone was serious and he looked strict
The man with the sword smiled "Name's Ash, I'm the weapons specialist" His voice was deep yet somehow calming
The man with the accent spoke next "Mason. I'm the brains of every operation" He smiles confidently
The man who has stolen my dog now speaks "Darius, I'm the hitman" He shrugs and goes back to petting my dod
Then a woman steps in "Vivian, I'm the one who gets everyone out o' trouble" She has a British accent and speaks with confidence
I look at everyone around me and try to process what the hell is happening, then I realize they probably don't know me, but before I can speak Jason speaks up "We already know who you are"
I just sat there unclear of what to do next.
Again Jason speaks, "You'll be staying with one of us for the time being, of course you get to decide so no one claims I'm being unfair" Vivian smiles "Or picking favorites"
I look around the room at everyone once again and sigh
There's no way I'm getting out of this is there...?
Thank you all for reading ^^ As you can probably tell I'm new to making stories and have absolutely zero experience... I hope you enjoy it nonetheless!
