I sat and stared at my self in the floor length mirror.
"Molly I look like a tramp!" I exclaimed my face a mask of horror.
She slapped me on the arm. "No you do not! You look hot!" she said swatting away my hands away as I tried to cover myself.
I sighed exasperated. "I don't even see why I have to dress up it's just a meeting."
Molly rolled her eyes, "ya an important one! The two clique thingies are joining together and they need to see what we have to offer," she explained and winked.
"It's called a mob Mo, and they could see me just fine in a pair of skinny jeans and a t-shirt.
"What ever, you look good."
I took another look in the mirror. She was right I did look good in my teal blue dress straitend black hair and my uncovered marks and purply eyes. My 'marks' started at the top of my right cheek bone trailed all the way down my neck to my shoulder then fallowed my spine down to my hips then they split and went around my waist circling my belly button and then travaled the outside of my left leg to my foot in a spirally twisty formation. The marks and the eyes were both a result of my grafted DNA aka the transformation I went through in the lab seven years ago. I was in that hell hole for four years before I had the strength knowledge and capabilities to escape. It would have been sooner if I had gone alone, but I want to help the others like me or at least they were sort of the same. According to the twisted scientist I was different, more advanced and unique than the rest of them put together.
Molly threw my coat at me trying to catch me off guard while I was daydreaming but of course I saw it in the reflection in the mirror and my brain didn't even have time to respond before my body was in action. I caught the coat and put it on. Then Mo pushed me out the door and slammed it before I could come up with a good reason to stay home.
I mumbled a string of profanities towards her as I made my way to the limo waiting in the driveway.
"finally!" matt said as I slid in. i just smiled politely.
"shut up before I make you."
Tony laughed."she could too. All 6'4"of you. Even in what she's wearing," he said while giving me an appreciative once over. I narrowed my eyes at him and he tried to look innocent. I kicked his shin and smiled at my two boys.
They weren't actually mine,but we treated eachouther like family. The were twins and both in the mafia. We all were.
We arrived at a mansion with roughly the same architectural build inside and out as the one I had just moved into. It kindof had a greek style, but every once-and-a-while there was some kind of Venitian flair.
We were ushered into a room filled with paintings and people. The people out numbered the paintings by many, but it was the paintings that I noticed.the guys knew me to well though, so before I had a chance to go inspect them further their arms were looped through mine on both sides.
I was about to protest when matt cut me off/.
"meeting remember?"he said raising his eyebrows. I grunted to show that I had heard him and they pulled me down to johnathan, the don and the my father figure for the past three years. He was the one who had taken me in after my escape. I owed him my life. He knew every thing about me and that was how I had earned a place in his heart and his business.
Well actually he wasn't gunna let me join his 'business' so I asked what I could do to convince him. He put me in a room with his best agents. 'Beat them' he had said. There was thirty-four agents in all and I guessed he expected me to get scared and back down like the small fifteen year old girl I was. I smiled at him and went off to battle. Fifteen minuets later everyone was on there backs and I grinned at him triumphantly. His face was priceless and his jaw was dropped. twelve were unconscious, and atleast siteen of them had broken bones, and four were hospitalized. The other two were just to tiered to get back up. After that I told him else I was capable of and was signed. It was some thing that we still laughed about.
As we approached he turned and smiled. His smile quickly disappeared after he saw my showy dress.
"molly," I said simply explaining everything.
He chuckled, "we'll talk about it later Alexandria." He made room for me, tony, and matt and introduced us to our new partners; Don Ivan De'Apallo, Lance Denato his right hand man, and Alan Cartright. Matt and Tony replied with their names, but before I could utter a syllable Don Ivan did for me.
"and of course the Kitty-Cat," he winked, "we have all heard of you. Call me Ivan," he said smiling while I enternally groaned at the dumb nick-name everyone called me. "I am very sorry that my son couldn't join us. He would have liked to meet you," he added.
"nice to have you on the team," lance said before grabbing alan's arm and disappearing.
Ivan put his arm around Don Johnathan and walked us towards his office.
"let's get this over with."
