The wooden stairs creaked beneath the foot of Daniel, keeping his finger firmly upon the trigger he stride upwards. Fabio followed him closely. The muffled voice was getting more clear to them. Daniel pressed his ear on the wooden door at the end of the hallway. “ Someone is inside.” Daniel whispered in a hushed voice, to which Fabio nodded. Taking their position, Daniel put his hand on the doorknob. Inhaling a breath, he twisted it but he was not prepared for what was waiting for him behind that door. “ Hello, Daniel.” The heavy baritone voice of Valerio welcomed them. A gasp left Fabio eyeing the man clad in black standing in front of the man who was gagged, without they could have as much as blink. Valerio stabbed a knife across his throat. Daniel eyes flickered towards the now, dead man and Valerio while Fabio took a step away when Valerio threw a craz

Woods crackled, burning furiously providing warmth to the cold surrounding. Heat seeped through the skin of the man, sitting on the chair at a foot distance but it failed to provide warmth to his cold heart. Grey eyes  turning amber as they looked at the dancing dangerous flames.   The creaking sound of the door notified him of the presence of the owner of the house. Donatello put his elbow on his knees, stapling his fingers together, he rested his chin on it.  " How is your wound?" His deep voice resonated in the small living of the cabin.  Valerio who was busy in his phone, reeked back in surprise, barely held himself from jumping.  " Will live." Charcoal eyes narrowed watching the back of the elder man.  Valerio hadn't told him about his hideout but Donatello knew about it anyway. So, he dropped the idea of asking him how he was aware

Edna's eyes were stuck on the screen of her iPhone, thumb hovering over Adriano's contact.  She chewed her nails in anticipation, tapping her index finger on the side of the sleek phone she sighed, before stuffing it back in her pocket.  " Ma'am. We should leave. It's about time." Peter spoke from a few distance away from her making her jump in air, startled.  " God! Peter! Make some noise next time." She exclaimed putting a hand on her chest, calming her frenzy heartbeat.  " My apologies." Peter bowed his head before taking firm steps and opening the door of the passenger seat.  " Please." He nodded his head, directing her to get inside the car.  Edna shook her head before getting in, her heart squeezing in her chest as her mind wondered again and again towards Adriano and Daniel.  " Don't worry, Ma'am

EIGHT YEARS LATER - VIRGINIA, USA A frown was set upon Edna's lips, her brown hair rolled in a messy bun resting at the nape of her neck. Placing a hand on her hip she walked towards the two kids wrestling and rolling each other on the grass. " Damiano, let go of him this instant." Edna chewed out the words at the boy which was sitting on the stomach of the younger one, he stilled like a statue hearing her." Up!" Edna instructed in a harsh voice, when his blue eyes looked innocently at her. " Mama!" The boy whisphered softly reminding her of Adriano. He was just like his father. Ignoring her son, who was locking his fingers in front of him looking down at the ground like a culprit under his mother gaze, she crouched down in front of the younger one. " You okay, baby!" Edna asked her voice soft contrary to her previous harsh one. “Yes, aunt." The boy answered, his grey eyes looking at the worked up face of his aunt who was wiping the dirt from his chubby cheeks. " I'm fine reall
