Kidnapped by the Mafia

Fear

Kristen's POV
    "What should we do for our presentation," Carissa asked. It was for world history. "What about the history of Denmark," I questioned. "Sounds good," she replied. We sat by our friends. "Hey guys," Everly said with a smile. "Hi," Carissa and I replied in sync. "What are you all doing over break," I asked. "Staying home," Carissa and Everly told me. "I'm going up to the snow," Cadence said. "Looks like it's just us three here," I looked at Carissa  and Everly. we met up with Chanel and Tara after we ate. The six of us have been friends since elementary school and now we're freshman in high school. The bell rang and we walked out together. "See you after break," "bye," we said and parted ways.

Later that day

    "Thank you so much Kristen" "I don't know what we'd do with out you" my aunt and uncle say as the walk out the door. If only babysitting was easier than it looked. At least I had Cadon and Dillon to help me. I'm the oldest cousin, then Cadon, then Dillon.

     "Alright. What do you guys want to do?" I ask. "How about board games and a movie," Cadon suggests. I nod and we all agree. "K. Now that we have games and movies, what do you want to eat," I say in more of a command than a question. One of them yells pizza and we all agree. Skylah and Mark grab board games while Dillon puts a movie on and I call for pizza.

    "Pizza is here," I yell while answering the door and handing the pizza guy money. "Thank you," I say, the pizza guy nods and walks away. Skylah set napkins out while Cadon got plates. I place to box on the table and we each took a slice. "So what should we do after the movie?" Cadon says. It was already seven. We decided to play a board game and watch a movie.

    Once the movie was over we played another board game. This time it was twister. Mason was too little and fragile to play so she sat with me as we spun the arrow and watched everyone collapse on each other. We were all laughing until there was shouting outside.

    "Grab everyone you see and put them in my car" I heard one guy say. All five of my cousins scattered around the house. Fear took over me. I was frozen I couldn't move. I didn't know what to do. I always pictured me fighting if this happened. But now that it was a real situation, I didn't know what to do. Iwas picked up by someone and I quietly started crying. I was placed in a car and before I knew it I was passed out cold.

      I woke up and looked out the window. It looked to be around mid morning. I looked around and noticed that my cousins weren't here. "Their fine. Their in the car behind us," a husky voice next to me said. "Who are you," I asked. "My name is Dante, what's your name," he kept his hands on the wheel and he looked at me for a second then focused on the road. "My name is Kristen," I said confused, "why am I here." "Do you know your uncle gambles," he asked. "Yeah," I replied with fear. "Well, he owes us money, instead of killing him or taking his money, we took his children and nieces and nephews," he said with a slight smirk. "You could've just killed him. He was pretty mean," I said. "Too bad, I already have something I like," Dante said. I was uncomfortable. He chuckled, "I'm just kidding, your a beautiful girl but I don't even know you and our family doesn't do stuff like that." I let out a breath. Thank god.

    We turned into a long driveway. The surrounds were beautiful and maintained. "How old are you," I asked. He looked old enough to drive but I couldn't tell. "Seventeen," Dante confidently replied, "what about you." "I'm fourteen," I stated. The car stopped and Dante got out. I took off my seatbelt and he opened the door for me. "Um, thanks," I told him awkwardly. I was led into a mansion with out my cousins, escorted by Dante.

    We walked up a flight of stairs and into an office. "We're back," Dante said. "I suspect it went well," and older voice asked. "Yes, we also have his niece with us right now," Dante said as the man turned his chair to face us. "Well well, nice to meet you Kristen," the man said as he held a hand out. I took it and we shook hands. "Bellissimo," He said as he looked to Dante. Dante nodded and looked at me. I was hella confused. "I know why I'm here, but who are you," I asked. "My name is Giovanni, Gio for short fiore. We are the Italian mafia," Gio said. My palms started to sweat as my face went cold and fear took over my eyes. "T- t- t- the mafia," I trembled. Dante and Gio nodded and looked at me. I was in the hands of the mafia. Even worse and more powerful than a gang or cartel.
