Daisy (Part I & II)

Part II - Chapter 3

It's been at least a year since I was thrown in the pit last. It's probably been three days since I was thrown in the hole. I couldn't tell. I still haven't received any sort of nutrition or hydration.

My body keeps going in and out and I keep replaying the last two years of my life on repeat.

FlashBack

It's been a month since Anthony took me. I haven't left my cell much. He feeds me disgusting food that I can barely stomach and I am still not used to using the toilet infront of all the guards and stuff. They stare at me weirdly when I pee.

I cry every night and most of the day. I just want to go home.

Guards open my door and I am dragged out of the cell through the dungeon before going up an elevator. I then get dropped off at what looks like a gym but with weapons. I look around and see three other kids around my age. Two girls and one boy. We all stare at each other unsure. Clearly we are all in the same predicament.

"Oh my little fighters welcome to training." My fathers teasing voice booms through the gym. We turn towards him.

He looks down at us before growling at us. "Kneel." We all agree except this one girl with red hair she doesn't move. In an instant she is laying on the ground with blood spilling from her mouth. He punched her in the face.

She sits up and looks at us. She obeys as she sees our innocent pleading looks.

"You four are my fighters. You will train here everyday until you are better assassins than I am. Meet your new friends."

My mind continues to fade in and out as I hallucinate another memory.

Flashback

"What mafia are you from?" The boy asks me. Ever since last week when Anthony introduced us we have started our training. They started talking to each other and I stayed away. I only ever had one friend, Bailey. I don't know how and quite frankly I'm too scared to talk with them. All three of them are a lot taller and bigger than me. They also look older.

I look up at him as the other two girls stare at me. I sigh. "Italian." I mumble. I really miss my brothers.

"Oh, you are a King?" The girl with red hair and who I know now as Deja said.

"Yeah, James is my older brother." I smile a small smile at the mention of my eldest brother. My real dad.

"I met him when I was like ten he was nice." The other girl Jade says to me.

"He was, he was really nice." I whispered.

"Hey." The boy Matteo says to me. I look at him. "You'll see him again."

"I hope so."

With that we all became inseparable friends. We spent all day training together and they have helped me learn to fight. I was hesitant at first but Jade told me that she was too and she got beat because of it so I started fighting.

Now as my vision blurs instead of reliving a memory I start to see a figure standing infront of me. I rub my eyes and when I open them I see Xander sitting across from me, he looks lost and sad. I lunge at him and he immediately pulls me into a hug.

"Hey my bug." He kisses my head.

"Hey Xan. I missed you." I tear up.

"I missed you too Daisy."

"Why are you here?" I ask him.

"What can I not visit my little sister?" He teases. I giggle.

"Of course you can silly!" I talk to him.

He smiles at me but then his face turns from happy to serious. "You need to push Daisy, you need to escape. Make a plan get out of here. I can not let you stay here any longer. Next mission purposely get caught. Tell them who you are. You will be protected. You need to get out of here. Come home to us." He orders me. I look back to him. He stands up and looks like he is going to leave.

"Where are you going?" I ask him sad that he is already leaving.

"Daisy don't forget what I said. Now wake up!"

"WAKE UP!" I hear a scream and I lazily look up to see the guards who sent down a rope. I quickly grab onto it and let them pull me up. This is what they did last time I was in the hole.

As I get to the top I wobble a bit. My vision is hazy and for all I know I am hallucinating.

"Clean up boss wants to see you."

With that I am whisked away into the shower area. Looking at my sunken cheeks and my protruding hip bones all I can think about is of how my body looked when I first came to live with my brothers.

I hop in the shower and make sure I scrub all the dirt and blood off my skin while trying not to pass out. I scrub until my skin is red.

I hop out and see a change of clothes on the bench. I change and then leave the room. I ignore the pain in my shoulder.

The guards cuff me and I am pulled to Anthony's office.

I'm thrown into a chair and I finally look up at him.

And of course he looks at me like I am the most funny thing in the world.

He laughs at me maniacally.
