Getting Close To The Gangleader

Chapter 1

Anastasia White

      I wake up as my alarm goes off. The sun is just starting to come up as it's 5:00 A.M. I take a shower and when I'm done I change into a sports bra and slide some underwear on. I put on a pair of shorts and my running sneakers before picking my hair up in a ponytail and going downstairs. I have some breakfast which consists of french toast, bowl of fruit, and orange juice. While I'm eating my second in command, Aaron, comes in and sits next to me taking my french toast away and eats it. He's 23 years old and acts like a complete child most of the time.

"What the fuck! I was going to eat that you shit head."

"Oh well. It's in my belly now so you can't have it."

I finish my fruit and gulp down my orange juice before going to a training room that's upstairs. This is available only to a few of them but there is a separate building where they go train. We reach the room and I go in, I stretch for a bit before heading over to the punching bag. I close my eyes and focus on all the pain, the anger. I focus on my past and punch it, letting everything out with each punch that lands on it. I feel someone pulling me away from the punching bag and I turn to look at them.

"S-sorry I...just lost...control."

"It's okay. Just remember to breathe. Now lets keep training."

I nod and he leads me to the weights. We lift for a bit until we move onto pull ups, sit ups, planks and other exercises.

"I'm in the mood to practice shooting and aiming knives."

We go into the basement and turn left to come to a steel door. I put the code in and the door unlocks. The reason I have this much security is because my brother might wander down one day and come across here. There are three parts to the basement. If you turn left, which is the way I turned, then it's the shooting targets and aiming daggers area. If you turn right it's the prison, that's where I hold captive my enemies or people to get answers out of them. If you keep going straight then that's the "man cave" which is what is now my family calls it. The gang became my family once my parents were killed. They've always been there for me and helped me get through my parents death.
We get to the room and I grab a pair of ear muffs before grabbing a gun and aiming at the target. I pull the trigger and the bullet goes through the red dot in the middle. I smile and look over at Aaron to see he hits the target perfectly in the center. We high five and keep shooting until others start coming in. I look at the time and see it's 7:00 A.M.

"Lets practice our aiming with the knives in the other room quickly because I need to shower and take Gabriel to school."

Aaron nods and we head over to the other room next to this one. Aaron opens the door and lets me in before closing it behind him. I grab a set of knives and stand at a distance from the target before throwing it carelessly. It goes into the center and I smile in victory. I throw the other knives and they land close to the center. I really enjoy what I do and I wouldn't leave this life for anything.

I get out of the shower and change into a black crop top and ripped jeans. I put on a pair of boots and I let my hair in it's natural waves. I put in light makeup and I smile when my tattoos show off.
