Weak
Lux POV
You made my weakness doesn't mean you are my weakness.
That's the last thing I heard from you. Mama.
I shouldn't have hid inside the wardrobe like a coward I should've fought. But how. I am only Seven. But I am seven I should've... I should've done something.
Dada. Mama. Hope you are in heaven.
My hands were shaking as I sat in the corner of the funeral hall. I cried, cried and cried.
Why?
𝒘𝒉𝒚𝒘𝒉𝒚𝒘𝒉𝒚𝒘𝒉𝒚𝒘𝒉𝒚
I was silent all day. But I can't stay silent anymore. I cried hard and loud. Sorin came to me, and I cried hugging him.
"It's okay Lux calm down, " he said patting down my back.
"I-I'm trying, " I said
I looked at his face. He was tear stained too.
"But I can't, " I cried again 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒅.
"S-sorin they killed t-them" I said between my sobs.
"Calm down. Breathe in. Breathe out."
He continued but I can't hear it anymore, I was way too pissed at myself. How could I just hide like a coward? Why? Why would they kill them?
My mama and Dada were nice people. Even though they were the most feared mafias they never ... never played with families.
My hands shook. Sorin and Hadrian left. My cousins. My aunt Lily and Uncle Michael came near me.
"We are going to take you in sweetie, " said Lily mama.
I always called her that but now I guess it's going to make some sense.
I smiled through my pain.
"Would you like to stay a bit more here, " asked uncle.
I nodded.
They went off leaving 4-year-old Ray with me. Their daughter and my cousin.
After about an hour Hadrian Sorin's younger brother came with food.
"I don't want to eat, " I said
"Oh yeah. The all cry all funeral kinda girl, " someone said.
It was a boy looking a bit older than me with a boy who looks a bit younger than me.
"Who might you be?" Sorin asked the boy.
Sorin was three years older than me. Hadrian was the same age as me.
"Who the fuck are you to ask me that?" The boy asked.
"Cesare" he said looking at me.
"Why should I care? " I asked.
He was such a milk toothed, stupid looking boy. He was in no good shape; like Sorin he was way too skinny and he had hair worse than my dog's tail. I can't even see his eyes with his hair falling on it.
The other one just started walking around.
"Ooh. You will care, " he said.
"Trust me. She won't," Sorin said, looking down at him towering over him with the height difference.
"No offense bro. But I don't do the trust thing so easily," he said smirking.
I don't know him but i already hate him.
I looked around and found two people bowing to my parents' pictures. Yeah, black hair. Must be this Cesare guy's parents.
"You back off, " Sorin said furiously.
"Go fuck yourself. Coward," the Cesare guy said, still smirking.
"Don't make a fuss here please, " said the lady who was bowing earlier.
"And language, Cesare, " the man said.
"Sorry, Dad " the Cesare guy said, looking at the buff man.
Is this really his son? Like both his sons looks like homeless beggars while he looks like a royal King in black. And the lady is so pretty.
"You said it's okay to curse," the Cesare guy asked his dad while the mother was playing with Ray.
"Not in front of Rosie," the dad said.
The milk tooth nodded, smiling, showing off all his milk teeth.
They left later.
Lily, Mama, and Uncle left with Ray. It was only me, Sorin, and Hadrian now.
"I want to go to my house to pack my things," I said getting up.
"Oh. I will get the things. You can go, " Sorin said smiling.
"No. I might find something. "
"Find what?"
"Something about the murderer. "
"Why do you need that?"
"I will get them back. Revenge it is," I said my hands shaking because of how hard I was gripping my dress.
Sorin came toward me.
"When I say that one day you will be mine," he said and kissed my forehead, "I mean it. "
I blushed. If there was a timing which is both right and wrong. This is it.
"Hadrian the third I am ain't I?" Hadrian asked from the corner.
Sorin nodded.
"I thought you'd say no, " he pouted.
We reached home. Probably the last time I'll ever see it. We're selling it. Bad memories. Bad trauma. Keep the memories. The more the trauma.
We packed everything I'll ever need.
My dad's gun with it. The other guns were taken back to the laurel house. The mafia house. They are waiting for me to take over. But I have to train more. I have only been training since 5. It's only been 2 years.
So I have to train hard.
I searched everywhere but there was no evidence.
We were about to go when I fell on the ground, tripping over Sorin's leg. A card?
Eleanor Alvarez.
What is this?
Blood. The killer. Their card.
Must have dropped by accident. But I'll make sure you regret it.
