"And then I realised the fire was always burning within me, but the flames were busy keeping everyone else warm"~ Morgan Richard OlivierBeep...Beep...I blink my eyes open at the irritating sound. "Non è stata una buona idea" (That was not a good idea) I search for the source of the voice, it's a chubby nurse standing by my feet. She's preparing a dose of injection. I look around to find myself in a small room."Dove mi trovo?" (Where am I?) I ask groggily."Nell'infermeria del palazzo" (In the palace infirmary) she answers walking over to me. I try to move but feel a shot of pain runs through my whole body. "Ahh"She administers the dose into the IV bag attached to me. "Questo aiuterà con il dolore" (This will help with the pain) she throws it in the dustbin. I raise my hand to hold my head but it restraints. My wrists are handcuffed to the bed. "Lo ha ordinato il capo, così non scappi più" (The capo ordered it, so you don't run away again) she snorts looking through the monitor
"The truth is, some people will never know you, and utterly hate you for who they think you are"~ Samantha King HolmesI stumble back on my legs, she seems so unbothered by everything. My mind reels back to all the times I saw her smiling so innocently. She never left Giovanni's side. She was always the one to speak up against anything wrong."Why are you telling me all of this?" I ask confused. How is she trusting me with all this information."You see, that's what I like about you, Daisy. You think. You look for answers." She stands up. "I want to show my gratitude for all the sacrifices you've made for my eternal happiness" she takes a step towards me, I take one back."What do you mean?" I ask, worriedly glancing towards the door.She picks up the the vase, "I can't let you go the whorehouse" I quicken backing away, my heart is pounding so fast. "Salvatore for some reason fancies you a little more than he should" she tsks.My back hits the door, I push the door handle but it does
"A storyteller makes up things to help other people, a liar makes up things to help himself" ~ Daniel Wallace "Come on, we don't have all day!" The maid who is assigned to keep an eye on me says irritatedly. She shoves the dress in my hand. I've been told to change into it since I can't leave the place in the palace's uniform. I change into the dirty dress which seems like it hasn't been washed in days. I know this maid, I've worked with her on kitchen duties. "Lana" I call her. She throws the uniform in the laundry basket. "What!?" "I need a favour" I say with fingers crossed. Her head raises up so quickly, she looks at me as if I've grown two horns. "Please Lana, just a small favour" she shakes her head, not budging the slightest. "You know they are taking me away. I'll be gone forever but I'll always remember you for your kindness" I know her, she loves when people say good things about her. "What do you want?" She glances at the door. "I want to meet Lucia..." "No! No! N
"The silence left by loss is as loud as a thousand voices raised to the sky in pain" ~ Edward Lee I pace around the room in distress. My anxiety levels are skyrocket at this time. Salvatore dragged Dario out of the room and locked me inside. This happened few hours ago. I tried to stop him, he shoved me away and rushed towards Dario. I'm scared for him, the look in Salvatore's eyes told me that he was ready to kill him right there and then. I cannot believe Dario could do such a thing. I look up at the ceiling in frustration. 'What do I do!?' Salvatore heard everything, he knows about our plan. He'll be coming for me soon. The door unlocks, I stop and stare at it in dread. The last person I expected to see enters. "Why didn't you tell me?" Ray asks. She looks so tired. I look over her shoulder to see if anyone else has followed her but it's just her. "Ray, is Dario ok? Do you know where he took him?" I ask worried. She studies me for a moment. "He's in the dungeon, the last I h
"Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult" ~ Unknown "Come stai mamma?" (How are you mama?) I ask, clutching the phone tightly. I hear a sigh of relief from the other side. "Molto meglio ora il mio raggio di sole" (Much better now my sunshine) her voice trembles with emotions, I make my way towards the bed and sit down. Salvatore gave me his phone so I can talk to my family. He informed me that mamma has been sick since I was taken away, even after she got to know that I'm free her health still hasn't gotten any better. "Mamma..." "Ascoltami Daisy" (Listen to me Daisy) she speaks in a stern voice making me remember my childhood when I used to sneak out with Dario during chores and she used to scold me later. "Voglio che tu esca da quel posto il prima possibile" (I want you to get out of that place as soon as possible) she says worriedly, my eyes instantly shift towards the closed door of my bedroom, I'm alone in here right now. "Mamma, che dici?" (Mama, what
"And find the place where every single thing you see tells you to stay" ~ Seeker Salvatore takes me back to his room. I can sense the anger radiating from him so I don't dare protest. He settles me on the bed. "I'll be right back" he excuses, and leaves. I take a deep breath. I was about die. If it wasn't for Salvatore maybe I would've been laying in my puddle of blood at this moment, I shudder at the thought. I think over Dario's words, he was right. These people will kill me, Salvatore cannot always be there to protect me. I find myself considering Dario's offer. A knock on the door gets my attention. A small head of brown curly hair peeks inside the room, I sit up straight. "Who is it?" I ask. With shy steps, a small boy enters followed by Salvatore. The boy is clutching tightly on his pointer finger with his small hands. My heart melts, recognizing who it is. "Maximus" I call, the little pudding lifts up his dark eyes the same shade as his father. "Sono io" (That's me) he say
