"Storm, please don't fight today. If the principal calls us to the office, we'll say sorry. Okay?" Sky explained as we walked to class

"No sorry." I told my brother who shook his head in defeat.

"I will miss class today, I have extra computer class." Sky said and I nodded.

During class I noticed the principles assistant walk in.

"Sky, please visit the principals office." The teacher announced in class

"Sky is getting into trouble because of you." Ellie cribbed.

I won't let him get punished. I hit the boy, not him. I got up and went to the office instead.

"I'm Sky." I lied as soon as I walked in.

"Your father has sent someone to pick you up." Said the assistant. "Let us just make a call to him to confirm, before we let you go." She said and turned.

I looked around, only to see an unfamiliar man. I went up to him "Who are you?" I asked and before I could react, a cloth was over my face and everything went dark.

Present.

"Help.."

"Daddy.."

"My daddy will kill you.."

"My ankle hurts..."

"Wild.."

"Wild.. tell her to leave us."

"I want to go home..."

"Daddy.."

I felt like I couldn't breath.

"Storm!" I heard a voice in the dark and I tried to see but I couldn't. "Storm! Open your eyes, you're having a nightmare." I felt myself being shaken.

Sky, is that you?

"Storm!" I finally opened my eyes and sat up in a jolt. "Are you okay?" Sky asked and I took a deep breath, moving my hair off my sweaty forehead.

"Yeah.."

"Your nightmares are getting frequent again. I need to tell mom." Sky said.

"I'm fine Sky. Don't say anything, you know how panicked dad gets." I said.

"Thats why I said mom." He said.

"I don't want to worry her. Anyways, you know this starts happening closer to the day." I said.

Our birthday, it was two weeks away. I try to look past that trauma and enjoy the day for Sky's sake but I'm still holding on to that baggage.

"Goodmorning princess!" Dad popped his head into the room and instantly caught onto the tension.

"What's wrong?" He asked, coming towards me and sitting next to me.

"Nothing dad, I'm fine." I smiled, lying. I noticed dad share a glace with Sky and I rolled my eyes. "Dad I want firearm training."

"No, today is functional training." Dad said.

"She needs to practice for ton..." Sky began to say and I widened my eyes, shutting him up.

"Practice for? What?" Dad asked and I gulped.

"Dad, there's an agility camp coming up.. I was going to ask you." Well I wasn't technically lying.

Sky took a breath of relief and nodded.

"You're going nowhere. Get ready and meet me downstairs." He said, leaving.

"Sky what's wrong with you!?" I yelled.

"I'm sorry."

"No it's not cool. If he finds about my double life, he'll hate me forever." I said.

"It's hardly a double life. We are mafia kids and anyways, you can burn the entire world down and he'll still not hate you." Sky said, going towards his side of the room to get ready.

My name is Storm Romano. For school and the world, I am Alya Romano. Ever since the kidnapping, dad wanted to home school us. With lots of persistence from mom and grandpa, he agreed on changing our school with the condition that we hide our identities completely. Mom decided to use our middle names. Sky goes by Angelo Romano while I go by Alya Romano. I am recognised as Wolf Romano's daughter because of my eyes, I've been wearing contact lenses to conceal my real eye color since the age of six, under doctors guidance.

I am my father's daughter, his biggest fan. He started his mafia life at the age of 15, so did I. I am the most feared hit woman out there, the best fighter and racer. Of course, my family doesn't know. Dad wants to keep me as away from the mafia as possible, but it's in my blood.

Sky is the best hacker in our system. He organises all my hits, fights and races. He can hack into any system, get any information and even track any individual in a heartbeat.

Ohh and my underworld name? Wilder

"Hey, wake up." I heard a voice. It sounded like a boy.

Where am I?

Why do I feel so sleepy?

Why can't I open my eyes?

"Open your eyes." He said again.

"My leg hurts.." I cried as I felt the burning pain.

I finally managed to open my eyes and look around. I was in a dark dingy room, sitting on the floor, my hands were tied and so was my left foot.

"Ouch ouch ouch.." I cried as I tried to free my ankle.

"No no don't!" Said the boy who's right ankle was tied to my left one with cycle chains.

"I want my daddy.." I cried to him. "My leg hurts.." I said looking at the blood that dripped off the sides of the chain.

"Mine hurts too, just don't make a sound. She'll come back if she hears you." He said.

"Who will come?" I asked.

"That horrible lady." He said. "She kidnapped the both of us."

"Why?" I sobbed.

"I don't know, something related to the underworld. I guess your family has a gang too?" He asked.

Daddy told me to never mention the Mafia so I just nodded.

"I want to go home.." I cried. "My leg is hurting.."

"I'll get you out of here, I promise. Just do as I say and stop crying." He said.

I nodded and pressed my eyes shut.

"How old are you?" I asked him.

"10 years old. You?"

"I turn 6 at 12am." I said softly. "My name is Storm."

"I'm Wilder." He said.

Present.

"What excuse are we giving today?" Sky asked me.

"No excuse! We can't say Ethan and Ellie's place because uncle Greg and aunt Terra will be home. We'll have to sneak out."

"Uncle Lynx caught us the last time we were trying to sneak out."

"I can handle uncle Lynx. All we need to say is we're going to party, you know how much he wants us to enjoy our teen life." I said.

"Storm we're literally walking on thin ice. You're becoming extremely popular in the underword and the pay outs from all your races, fights and hits are overflowing. It's a matter of time before the accountant finds out."

"Donate some.."

"Already did as much as I could." Sky said.

"Buy a car?" I suggested.

"We already bought a G-wagon that I have to park away from the house, every time we sneak off. Where will I keep another car?"

"I don't know Sky, I know you'll manage." I shrugged, walking down for breakfast.

"Goodmorning kids." Mom smiled at us, sitting on the counter while dad made gluten free pancakes.

"Morning mom." I said, jumping up and sitting next to her.

"Goodmorning beautiful." Sky winked at mom, kissing her forehead.

"Storm, I said functional training today. Why didn't you show up?" Dad asked.

"I went to the range." I said, grabbing the maple syrup bottle and tilting it in my mouth.

"Eww Storm." Sky snatched it from my hand.

"I said no!" Dad glared at me.

"It's been a while." I said, licking off the syrup from my lips. "Uncle Mario was with me.

"You know the basics. That's good enough for you. Sky will be going to the range more from now." Dad said and I snapped.

"Excuse me? What does that mean?"

"It means that you don't need any more practice. You need to ask me before you touch a gun the next time. You know you're allergic to gun residue."

"So what? I cover my face and by chance I inhale anything, I have the antidote."

"Storm do we have to argue about mafia stuff every morning?" Mom threw her head back in defeat.

"What mafia stuff? He doesn't let me anywhere near the warehouse, all I'm asking for is training."

"You are well trained. In fact, you can train your brother." Dad said.

"Why do you say that as if it's a bad thing?" I folded my arms.

"Because I want you to lead a simple life, a safe life. I want to protect you the way I've protected your mother. Sky has to take over and.."

"And you will force him to, even though he isn't interested." I was annoyed. I jumped off the counter and grabbed my bag.

"Storm.." Sky gave me a look, asking me to stop.

"He doesn't have an option and you will do as I say." Dad folded his arms and I rubbed my nose, glaring at him.

"Stop that, both of you have this dirty nose rubbing habit!" Mom nagged.

"Ethan is picking us up for school, I'll wait in the living room for you." I said to Sky, walking out.

"Storm!" Mom yelled, but I was not going to go back.

(Wolf's pov)

I am protective of Storm and rightly so. She's just like me. She has outbreaks and I know how interested she is in the Mafia. Sometimes when I see her skill, I feel good that I raised a girl who can fight for herself but at the same time I get worried that her anger and temperament will draw her towards some trouble or the other.

I want her to live a safe and happy life. I want to give her everything she desires and protect her from all the bad out there.

I remember dad and Alya having these arguments. Everytime I supported Alya, dad would tell me that I'd understand when I have a daughter. I do now.

"Dad, we'll be home a little late." Sky said.

"Why?" I squinted my

"Today is the seniors farewell in school, correct?" Luna asked and Sky nodded. "Aww my babies will be seniors in week!"

Ethan is 4 years older than the kids. Technically he should be finishing college now but due to a fight, he was suspended from school for 3 years. When he rejoined the school, he was only one grade above the kids.

The kid's high-school, has its own university. The campus is next to thier school itself.

"Mario will accompany you guys." I said.

"Dad, we're with Ethan in school!" Sky threw his head back.

During the 3 years that Ethan was suspended, he joined the mafia. He's been training since he was a kid and he's pretty tough for a 21 year old. I've been at ease when he's with the kid's but I still feel I need Storm to have more supervision.

"Wolf, let them be kids. Come on." Luna said and I reluctantly agreed.
