Episode # 4

The trio were busy in talking when Theo said to Nat to ask from all about their whereabouts. “Where are you all?” Nat messaged in the group of all youngsters; in that group, the members are only the one who will be going to become the part of the Mafia world.

They had a group with others, but that group was a different one. Their Mafia Group includes Nat, Theo, Georgia, Ethan and Vivaan.

“On our way, will reach before her competition,” Ethan replied, followed by Georgia as she was coming with Ethan. “I’m already with her,” Vivaan replied. After the reply, he sent a picture of him with Gloria, who was sitting behind him and tying her skates. Her attention was on her stakes, that’s why she didn’t know that Vivaan took her picture.

All chuckled after seeing his antics. Vivaan was the exceptional piece of their generation. Theo and Nat reached Gloria’s school after around 15 minutes and came out of their car, followed by Lauren. They walked towards the area where the skating competition would conduct.

They reached and looked around. After gazing for a while, they found Gloria talking with Vivaan, and a little farther from them were standing, Ben brothers’ parents, Sanskar Sebastian Knight and Swara Sebastian Knight.

(Sanskar Sebastian Knight: - Father of Ben brothers, and Felicity Gloria Knight. King of the British Mafia Empire, a cold-blooded beast in front of the enemies. However, for his family, you will find him like a giant teddy bear. Knows the reason behind Benedict’s changed behaviour, but can’t tell anyone because of the promise which his son took from him. Loves his family to the core and can do anything for them, especially for his LITTLE SPARROW. She today also could bend him on his knees. He is more close to Benedict as compared to Bennett, who is purely a mama’s boy. He loves both his son’s equally. It’s just both brothers have some special bond with each of their parents (Sebastian is same like “Her Bidder,” so I think I don’t have to tell more about his personality, again.)

(Swara Sebastian Knight: - The little Sparrow of Sebastian Knight. And mother of Ben Brothers, and Gloria. Today also she is clumsy, just like the way she was years back. She knew that something happened to her elder son, but she never pressurized Seb and Nat to tell her anything.

A loving mother and a caring wife, and can do anything for her family. Today also loves her fire-spitting dragon (Sebastian) more than anything else in the entire world. She is close to Bennett more than Benedict, who is a daddy’s boy. She loves both her sons equally. It’s just both brothers have some special bond with each of their parents. Owner of a restaurant, running together with Anaya (Vivaan’s mother) and her mother-in-law, Aadhira Harrison Knight.)

“I’m telling you, Nat, mom and dad are lying for not being the vampires. Look, they both instead of getting old, becoming younger day by day,” Theo said to Nat while eying their parents.

Nat who heard this gave a death glare to his brother and said, “Not again, Theo. I’ll seriously send you to the mental hospital.” Theo pouts after hearing this and turns his gaze towards Laura, who was giggling a little.

“Did I say something wrong? They look like vampires then what is my fault, in this? I said what I felt,” He said to Laura in a sad tone. She shook her head while chuckling a little and went behind Nat. Theo, from the time watching his parents; he was sure as hell that they are the vampires, because every day they look younger than before.

Not only his parents, he doubts his entire family, because his grandfather, Harrison Macaulay Knight, looks like his father’s elder brother. When all the family members of Mittal’s, Alex and Karan’s family, came to know about this thing, they all laugh like hell, because Theo is the same as his mother, in this matter.

There was a time when his mother used to think about their father as Vampire, and now Theo is hell-bent on proving that his entire family is from the clan of vampires. He took a pledge like his mother, that soon he’ll prove that they are vampires.

“Nattyyy,” Gloria, who saw Nat coming towards their direction. She walked towards him and hugged him tightly. Nat chuckled a little and patted her head, which was below his chest. He kissed above her head and broke the hug.

Nat and Theo both took their father’s height. Gloria was only 14 now, but they doubt that maybe she’ll take their mother’s tiny height, because now also she looks like a little bug in front of them.

“Hello Lori, how is your preparation?” Theo said while patting her head, who after hugging Nat hugged Theo when he came near her. “It’s good TB (Theo Brother), I hope I’ll win this competition,” Gloria said in a nervous tone. Her hands were getting cold because of nervousness, and Theo rubbed her hands to lessen her tension.

“Don’t worry, my daughter is the winner already,” Seb said from behind, and came towards them with Swara beside him. (Seb and Swara always made sure that they will not pressurize their children to win only. They always told them that winning or losing both are the part of their lives.

They should accept both the things like a winner, never degrade others on their defeat and never show off on your victory, Swara always taught them this. She made it sure to not let them become an overconfident person.)

“Yes,” Swara said, and gave a kiss on Gloria’s forehead, who gave a bright smile to her parents. After meeting her family, she went, as they called all the participants.

“Where are others?” Swara asked on which Theo said, “They are on the way.” Seb and Swara nodded their heads after hearing this. Later, they all went and settled down on the seats kept for the audience.

Nat was sitting beside Seb and talking to him when he got a call from Ethan. “Yeah Ethan, where are you, and George?” Nat asked on which Ethan replied, “We have reached, where are you people sitting?”

Nat, who heard this, turns his face towards the entrance. He found Ethan and Georgia standing there and looking around. “Here,” Nat said on the call, and waves his hand towards Ethan.

Georgia saw him and told Ethan. Ethan cuts the call, and with Georgia came towards them. They both met all and settled down on the seats beside them.

“Welcome all for the 10th under 15 skating competition. We request you all to settle down on your seats, as competition is going to start within a few minutes.” An announcement made, and all settle down properly in their seats.

Laura took out her camera and started the recording. There were 15 participants, and Gloria was on 4th number.

The moment Gloria came, all felt that she was looking nervous, but with one comforting look from her entire family, her confidence came back, and she gave the best performance. After around 2.5 hours, competition completed, and Gloria was the one who won the 1st prize.

Seb and Swara were feeling proud of their daughter; they told her to remain positive if she loses. But it was her 1st ever competition, and they knew that this win would boost her confidence for the coming future.

“I wonnn,” Gloria screamed in joy, and ran towards her family. She jumped in Ethan’s arms as he was the one who was standing in front of her, Ethan with a bright smile swirled her around, and gave a tight kiss above her head.

“Yayyy my sister won,” Vivaan said, and took the cup from her hands, as she was hugging all in excitement.

“Proud of you, Gloria,” Georgia said and kissed her cheek. Gloria gave her a cheeky smile and hugged her.
