(2 Months Later)
Persephone's POV:
Okay, so let's catch you up on what is going on, shall we. 2 months ago I was shot saving Ery from a bullet. My family found out that I am the most deadliest Assassain in any Mafia. I told them I knew they were the Greek Mafia and Tay was the Italian Mafia. I told them about the companies I own and how I am basically a billionaire. They took it pretty well if I say so myself. Me, Ery, and Micky are all getting along now, I have forgiven them for everything. Oh and one more thing me and Tay are secretly seeking around. Okay, now that we have caught up let's get to my day yeah?
So I wake up and do my routine for the day. I get dressed and put on my makeup and since I don't have to put on makeup on my scars. I am now more comfortable with them. So I just put on my face makeup.
Finally finishing up I head downstairs and into the kitchen to make myself a bowl of cereal. I was making some fruity pebbles when Chillie came into the kitchen.
"Good morning, are you catching a ride with Jase and everyone to school today?" I ask him
"Yeah, hey do you know if Trix is dating anyone?" He asks and I smirk. He and Trix have been getting close recently and I don't hate it. I think they would look good together.
"No, she isn't. Why?" I ask smiling at him eating my cereal
"Um, so I was wondering if...maybe...um." He stutters
"Spit it out boy," I say chuckling
"If maybe I can ask her out?" He asks me
"Okay, 2 questions," I say setting my bowl in the sink
"Hit me," He says sitting down in front of me. I stand on the other side of the counter.
"You do know she is trans right?" I ask
"Yes, but I don't care I still like her," He says and I smile
"2, will you let me help?" I ask him and he smiles widely at me.
"YES!" He shouts
"What is going on in here?" Papa asks and I look over at Chillie who looks nervous.
"Pa, I was wondering how you would feel if I asked out Trix?" Chillie says and Papa looks at him
"She is a nice girl, so I wouldn't mind," Papa says and I smile
"Pa, you do know she is trans right," Chillie asks and I see Pa freeze and I frown
"So you are p-pansexual to?" Papa asks and I laugh
"Um, yes. Is that okay?" Chillie ask
"Of course, you are my son I love you regardless," He says hugging him
"Why would you think I wouldn't accept you? Your sister is like you too," Papa says and I chuckle
"Oh yeah she is," Chillie says pulling away
"Oh and princess, we need to have a talk," Papa says
"About what, Papa?" I ask him
"You and Dante," He says, and Chilies head snaps to me smiling
"W-What do you mean, Papa?" I ask nervously
"Just meet me in my office after school," He says walking away. I swallow nervously. I look over at Chillie to see him with his arms crossed and a raised brow.
"You have been fucking him haven't you?" He asks
"What, No!" I exclaim walking away as he follows me outside.
"Oh come one, Percy," He says whining
"I mean it would make since he has loved you since you guys were kids," He says and I stop in my tracks and look back at him
"He loves me?" I ask him
"Uh, yeah. That is what we talked about when we talked about you. How much he loves everything about you," He says nervously
"Oh," Is all I can say
4 Hours Later
We are all in Art class working in our sketchbooks today. I was so engrossed into my sketch that I didn't notice Mrs. Tulip standing over me.
"Miss Galanis, this is so beautiful. Do you mind if I show the class?" She asks and I hand it to her. She picks it up and shows everyone. Whistles and claps erupt from the class.
"This class is what real artwork is. It comes from the heart and soul of what someone experiences or feels," Mrs. Tulip says
"Miss Galanis, do you mind sharing the story behind this drawing?" Mrs. Tulip ask
"Um... Well, it is a story of true love. A piece showing people all the ways a man can show his love to his woman," I say blushing
"Well, it is beautiful. Keep up the good work," She says handing me back my sketchbook.
"Girl, you drew Dante," Trix says and I look at her
"No, I didn't," I say, and then look down and see I DID. What the fuck?
RINGGGGG
The bell rings indicating it is time for Lunch so I grab my sketchbook and head out with my crew. Once again Tay had skipped art. So we decided to head to the music room knowing they would be there.
10 Minutes Later
"SERIOUSLY I AM GETTING FUCKING TIRED OF WALKING 10 MINUTES TO THIS FUCKING CLASSROOM!!" I yell kicking open the door and everyone looks up. Chillie looks at me and smirks.
"Tired, Percy?" He asks
"Shut the fuck up ass hat," I say and go and sit on the piano bench. I grab a pencil and start to sketch.
25 Minutes Later
I have finally finished my sketch, but when I look at it I realize I did it again.
"FUCK!" I yell and everyone snaps their head to me.
"What happened, Pers?" Tay asks and I turn bright red. He gets up and I try to hide my sketchbook but he grabs it looking at my sketches from today.
(Her sketch of Dante)
(Her sketch for Art Class)
(Her sketch of her and Dante)
(Her sketch of Dante's hand pinning her hands)
"Oh shit! These are really good, but why did you draw a portrait of Dante?" Rey asks and my crew and brother bust out laughing.
"Shut up!" I exclaim snatching my sketchbook out of his hands. I look up to see him looking down at me with a smirk and a raised brow.
"Go away," I tell him pushing him away. They all go sit back down and I just sit there a little bit before opening the lid and play a few notes before I start to sing catching everyone's attention.
Oh dear, can you hear me?
Oh giliw naririnig mo ba
Your own
Ang yong sarili
It turns out crazy
Nakakabaliw lumalabas
In your mouth
Sa yong bibig
I know I'm silly
Alam kong uto uto ako
I know it's fragile
Alam ko na marupok
It's just human too
Tao lang din naman
Because I
Kasi ako
I feel something too
May nararamdaman din ako
Not numb like you
Di kasi manhid na tulad mo
I know how to let go
Alam kong sanay bumitaw
Someone like you
Ang isang tulad mo
Am I going away?
Lalayo na ba ako
what about me
Pano naman ako
It's fallen on you
Nahulog na sayo
Did you really just let me go?
Binitawan mo lang ba talaga ako
what about me
Pano naman ako
Waited a long time for you
Naghintay ng matagal sayo
Don't you really have all that?
Wala lang ba talaga lahat ng yon sayo
What am I going to do?
Ano na bang gagawin ko
Are you doing everything on purpose?
Sinasadya mo ba ang lahat
Or are you just trying to hurt me?
O trip mo lang ba ako saktan
After I gave my shoulder
Pagtapos kong ibigay balikat ko
When you cry
Pag ika'y umiiyak
What do you think of me?
Ano bang tingin mo saakin
Am I a slave?
Isa ba akong alipin
Don't you have a way?
Wala ka bang modo
What are you doing
Anong ginawa mo
I trusted you
Nagtiwala naman sayo
I feel something too
May nararamdaman din ako
Not numb like you
Di kasi manhid na tulad mo
I know how to let go
Alam kong sanay bumitaw
Someone like you
Ang isang tulad mo
Am I going away?
Lalayo na ba ako
what about me
Pano naman ako
It's fallen on you
Nahulog na sayo
Did you really just let me go?
Binitawan mo lang ba talaga ako

"I didn't know you could sing in Filipino?" Chillie says
"I know a lot of languages," I say smiling at him
"What does the song mean?" He asks
"I guess you will never know," I say and he pouts making me chuckle
"Hey babe, can you sing our song?" Bella ask
"What, the crew's song or our song," I say pointing between me and her
"Ooh, the one you had written for Trix," She says and I nod and look at Trix smiling.
"Come here girl, sit next to me," I tell Trix and she gets up to sit on the piano bench next to me. I begin playing the notes and singing.
What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawin' me in and you kickin' me out
You've got my head spinnin', no kiddin'
I can't pin you down
What's goin' on in that beautiful mind?
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me
But I'll be alright
My head's underwater, but I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
I look over at Trix and begin singing the next verse to her and she smiles laying her head on my shoulder.
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginnin'
Even when I lose, I'm winnin'
I look over at Dante and continue to sing as he smiles at me.
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh-oh
How many times do I have to tell you?
Even when you're crying, you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around
Through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing
In my head for you
My head's underwater, but I'm breathin' fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginnin'
Even when I lose, I'm winnin'
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh-oh
Give me all of you, oh
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginnin'
Even when I lose, I'm winnin'
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh-oh
I look over to see Trix looking at me with tears in her eyes.
"Oh, honey. Don't cry, never cry over me." I say hugging her
"FUCKING HELL!" Bella yells and we all look at her.
"We have a mission tonight at the performance club tonight," She says and I nod
"What is the dress code?" I ask and I get a ding on my phone and my eyes bug out
"Fucking hell NO!" I exclaim
"What?" Chillie ask
"Jase and Mia you will stay in the car tonight and be our lookout. You will have a live feed into the club at all times. Trix and Bells you will be with me in the club. We have a show to do," I say smirking
4 Hours Later
We all got dressed at my house and are now in the parking lot of the Performance Club. Dante and Chillie decided that they wanted to come so I had no choice. I had told Papa to take a rain check on that talk and said I would see him and the family later.
"Okay, so everyone knows their roles?" I ask and everyone nods. Me, Bella, and Trix all walk into the club and head to the back of the performance area so we can get on stage and get a better look at the crowd.
Wellus Lion
Age- 48
Nationality- American
Raped 58 women and 7 children
Killed his wife and newborn baby
"Okay, his name is Wellus Lion," Jase says in our earpieces. I get a ding on my phone to see he sent me the guy's information. I show it to the girls and they nod.
"ALRIGHT, LADIE GET ON THAT STAGE NOW!" A lady yells a us. We are supposed to lip-sync to a song. So we head on stage and get ready as the curtain rises. Just then in the middle of the show the music stops and people begin to leave, so to help I begin to sing catching the crowd's attention. I begin to dance and sing saving the show.
After our performance, the crowd erupted into cheers and whistles as they clapped for us. I smile and the band begins to play another song as more girls start to appear all around the club as I sing another song and they sing with me.
Underneath the city lights
There is a world few know about
Where rules dont apply, no
And you cant keep a good girl down
She going through the club looking for a good time
Gonna make that
Shake that
Money on the dime
Dont need a sugga daddy
"YEAH! WOO! GET IT EFFIE!" I hear Jase say in my ear but I have to ignore him and continue the show.
She can work it just fine.

After finishing the song the curtain closes and the set changes and as we try to head off stage the lady stops us.
"Where do you think you are going you got to more performances," She says and I look at the girls
"Um... no, I have to go," I say
"Uh, Uh get your asses back on that stage," SHe says pushing us back on stage and we sit in front of some mirrors.
"We are gonna lose our chance on catching this guy," Jase says and I look at the girls but they just shrug and music comes on meaning we have to perform. So I began to sing already knowing the song.
It's a cold and crazy world that's raging outside
Well, baby, me and all my girls are bringing on the fire
Show a little leg, got to shimmy your chest
It's a life, it's a style, it's a need, it's burlesque
E-X-P-R-E-S-S
Love, sex, ladies, no regrets
E-X-P-R-E-S-S
Love, sex, ladies, no regrets
Been holding back for quite some time
And finally the moment's right
I love to make the people stare
They know I got that certain savoir-faire
Fasten up, can you imagine what would happen
If I let you close enough to touch?
Step into the fantasy, you'll never wanna leave
Baby, that's guaranteed (why?)
"Fuck me," I hear a voice in my ear say and I try not to laugh as it was Dante.
It's a passion and emotion
It's a fashion, burlesque
It'll move you, going through you
So do what I do, burlesque
All ladies confident, flaunt it
Boys, throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me? Can you feel it?
It's burlesque
Burlesque
Burlesque
I tease 'em 'til they're on the edge
They scream and moan for more and more they beg, ah
I know it's me they come to see
My pleasure brings them to their knees
Fasten up, can you imagine what would happen
If I let you close enough to touch?
Step into the fantasy, you'll never wanna leave
Baby, that's guaranteed (why?)
It's a passion and emotion
It's a fashion, burlesque
It'll move you, going through you
Do what I do, burlesque
All ladies confident, flaunt it
Boys, throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me? Can you feel it?

The song finishes once again and we have to change so we head off stage to change.
"SHIT!" The lady who has been running the show yells
"What happened?" Trix
"The track isn't working for the next performance," The lady says and Trix looks my way. I roll my eyes and nod
"Okay, we can handle this just get the band to play born this way," Trix tells her and she nods.
"Put on our colors girls," Trix says and I smile loving this already.
10 Minutes Later
We all head on stage and me and my girl have mics on our faces so we can sing and dance.
"Ladies and Gentleman this one goes out to the queer community out there. LET'S LET OUR FREAK FLAGS FLY TONIGHT! YEAH!" I yell into the mic and cheers erupt as the music begins and I start to sing.
(I imagine the performance going like this and them looking like this as well,)
I start the song with my own flare.
My mama told me when I was young
"We are all born superstars"
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir
"There's nothing wrong with loving who you are"
She said, "'Cause He made you perfect, babe"
"So hold your head up, girl, and you'll go far
Listen to me when I say"
I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself, and you're set

Don't be (Don't be, don't be)
Give yourself prudence and love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice your truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth
A different lover is not a sin

Mi amore vole fe yah (Same DNA)
I'm beautiful in my way

I was born this way, hey
"YEAH!"
"WOO!"
"QUEER MATTERS TO!"
Claps, cheers, whistles, and shouts erupt from everyone making me smile. We head off stage to get cleaned up and changed back into our original clothes.
10 Minutes Later
We got all cleaned up and went out to the bar area knowing our guy would follow at least one of us.
"What can I get you, lovely ladies?" Cody ask. He is our undercover bartender for the night to drug Wellus's drink
"A scotch on the rocks," Bella says
"Sex on the beach," Trix says
"2 Shots of ouzo," I say. He goes back and makes our drinks and hands it to us. I down my shots in one go when I feel someone touch my shoulder. FUCKING HELL HE CHOSE ME! Why the fuck is he touching me, get him off. Snapping out of my thoughts I turn around with a fake drunken smile.
"H-Hey," I fake slur
"Sweetheart you seem drunk let's get you in a room for you to rest," He says to me in a sickly sweet tone
"But I am thirsty," I pretend to whine and he smirks
"Okay, how about I buy you a drink?" He asks and I nod
"2 more of whatever the lady is having," He tells Cody and I give Cody the sign telling him to drug this asshole drink. Cody hands us our drinks and I down mine as Wellus down his. I get up pretending to stumble.
"Woah, be careful there sweetheart." He says wrapping his arms around me making me want to vomit.
5 Minutes Later
We make it to one of the rooms here in the club and he closes the door, locks it, and throws me on the bed.
"Sweetheart, you chose the wrong person to follow," He says hovering over me. But suddenly I start to feel fuzzy. Shit Cody drugged the wrong fucking drink.
"Tay, help," I say softly
Dante's POV:
We are sitting in the car with Jase and Mia waiting for the girls to come out. When I hear two words that make me jump out of the car and go into the club.
"Tay, Help," I hear Pers say and I knew something was wrong. As I am in the club I see the girls near a door trying to break it down but it isn't budging. I ran over when I heard a scream come from inside the room. I shoot the lock and kick the door in. What I saw made my blood boil. The fucking person she was supposed to kill was about to rape her. I ran over to him and began punching his face as he pleaded for me to stop.
"Tay, Help," I heard my girl say softly and I look at everyone telling them to take care of this fucking cunt. They nod as I go over to my girl and pull her panties back up making her cry.
"NO! PLEASE!" She screams out crying
"Shh, baby. It is me, Dante." I say bringing her into my chest and she seems to calm down in my hold. I pick her up and start to walk out but not before grabbing my gun and shooting the fucking dumbass in the head. Her crew and Achilles follow us out.
"I will take her bike back and you take her home," Bella says to me and I nod. I go to put her in my car but she just clings to me.
"Baby girl, I have to put you in a seat." I try to say but she just begins to cry holding me tighter.
"Fuck it," I shut the passenger door and head over to the driver's side as she hugs and clings to me like a koala. I just get in and start the car with her in my lap and drive to my house like that.
30 Minutes Later
We make it back to my house and I carry her in and to my bedroom. She had fallen asleep on the way here. I just put her in one of my T-shirts.
And throw her dress in the laundry. I left her underwear knowing she will freak out in the morning not knowing what happened. I get in on the other side of her and she snuggles in my chest making me smile. I fall asleep with the most beautiful girl in my bed.
