At lunch, a war broke out. We were divided into two groups, both equally powerful, and neither, ready to surrender. The triplets, Estian and i were one group, while the rest formed another group. This war, was the war of glaring. Our group decided to go with the man-to-man strategy. Abel took on Leander, Estian was against Charlotte, Alvaro fought against Alfonio, Apollo said he would take care of Anthony, while i was left with..
"Oh come on, please? Can't any one of you take him? Apollo, you are older than me and him, and Anthony does not know even how to glare. Please can we switch?" I whisper shouted.
"No can do. He scares me as well, despite me being older than him. Besides, even though we don't know you, you seem very dangerous." He whispered back.
"But Alexandre is the best fucking assassin in the world." I lashed out, but realise my mistake soon enough. I had yelled it too loud, and everyone had heard. All eyes snapped to me, Alexandre was stiff like a wall, not meeting my eyes.
Well shit.
"How did you know?" Asked Leander as you guessed it, coldly. Let us name him Ice man from now on.
"You don't need to know that." I reply, even more coldly.
"Of course we need to know that." Gasped Charlotte.
"See Xenny? I told you that this would happen." She continued, turning slightly towards Alexandre, and then looking back at the rest of the brothers.
"This girl cannot be trusted at all. She is a spy. She is here to hurt us. She is a lying bitch who just pretends to be innocent-"
"Charlotte" warned Abel, but she ignored him.
"But only you and I can see through her facade, in't it Xenny? She is an imposter. I wouldn't be surprised if she turned out to be a whore and a slut as well."
"Shut the fuck up Charlotte" This time it was Estian, but she, again, paid no heed to him and continued yapping shit.
"She was sent to kill us. It all makes sense now, doesn't it Lee? She knew of our mafias, something that no one else knows of. She knew that Xenny is an assassin. We should just kill her."
"CHARLOTTE" Yelled Alvaro, standing up from his chair. "Don't forget that it is innocent until proven guilty. You can't go on accusing someone, and going so far as to suggesting to kill her. So shut the fuck up." He shouted, visibly fuming with anger.
I just stayed quite. I knew where the distrust and scepticism was coming from. I know almost everything about them, while I am a mystery they are yet to solve. I can be a threat to their security.
"Alvaro" came Leander's cold and authoritative voice. He motioned a pissed off Alvaro to sit down.
"Leander? I think she is right." came Alfonio's quiet voice. All heads snapped to him. I looked at him in shock, but quickly masked it.
Great, this is just great.
It doesn't matter anyway, I am not going to spill my secrets to people i do not know, even if they kick me out, torture me, or kill me. Not happening.
"She knows everything about us since before she came here. She knew about dad, about the mafia, and Alexandre. And she is refusing to tell us how she knows this stuff. How can we be sure that she is indeed not an imposter?" He looked at me for a moment, with doubt and suspicion, before turning back to Leander.
"See? Even Ally sees it. This girl is here to ruin our family. Lee already scolded me because of her, and he hasn't even apologised to me yet." She pouted.
"And i will not be apologising in the future as well Tilly. What you said was wrong." Leander calmly replied. Charlotte huffed at that.
"What she is STILL saying is also wrong. Tay is or sister, and i am not saying this because she has our blood, but because in the short time, cut that, in the three days that i have known her, i can confidently say that she is not someone who betrays others." Snapped Estian.
I raised my eyebrow at the nickname, but found myself smiling at what he said next. It is true, i don't betray someone. Because then, I am using the person's trust against them, and that is not fair. I would rather loose a fair match, than win a biased one.
"I agree, and besides, we cannot force her to tell us about her past. What if it is something bad? If she wants to, she will tell us when SHE is comfortable." Said Apollo, joining in.
Wow, this has turned into an actual match, who would have thought.
"What if it is too late by then?" Questioned Anthony.
"Alright enough" Came Leander's sharp voice.
"Having heard both sides," he started off, sounding like a freaking judge. "Taylor will have to prove herself worthy of being a part of this family and these two mafia. If she is not seen as trustworthy, then we will do what we do with every other imposter, blood or not." With that he went back to eating.
Charlotte looked at me with a victorious smirk on her face, while i returned a blank stare. If she honestly thinks that she is going to achieve something from this, she is soo wrong. As i said, i do not mind living on the streets, being tortured, or dying. My own safety can never worry me, after all i have seen and been through.
"But Lea-" protested Apollo, but was cut off.
"MY daughter will NEVER have to prove herself to ANYONE, ANYWHERE. ESPECIALLY not this one" Everyone froze. I just smirked.
"Like you have any OTHER daughter." i replied, mockingly.
With that, Anthony fainted. Time to enjoy the shit that is about to go down.
....i need popcorn for this. And a bag of Doritos a well, if possible.
