*SILIA*When I came back to my senses I found myself in a room that distinctively looked like a motel. I couldn’t be very sure though and so staying put I pulled myself up into a sitting position only for the door to open with a bang and make my heart jump out of my mouth as I slipped back down.“Finally you are awake,” Luca said with a smile as he locked the door behind him and rushed up to me and sat down on the edge of the bed, “Are you feeling better?”I was disappointed when I saw his face, hoping that it had only been a dream when I had thought it was him that had come to save me. I really wished that it was Draven.“Yes but I still feel queasy,” I said, making him get up and give me some bottled water to drink. I know I shouldn’t trust what he gave me but he looked really relieved to see me awake and I was thirsty.“You scared me when you fainted like that,” he mumbled, taking the bottle from me when I was done drinking.“Is Lily alright?” I asked, my voice feeble from the exha

*SILIA*“I can’t believe you did this to the right hand man of The Ravens!” Diana laughed as we walked through the secret training base for the Mafia under the Calix building.“That asshole had it coming his way when he dared to kidnap me but he really messed with me when he forcefully kissed me,” I muttered remembering the kiss with an acrid and distasteful feel in my mouth.“Honestly I am also a little astonished that Draven let you do this,” she said as I led her through the corridor and to where Luca had been captured and kept.“Oh he was alright with it,” I said, hiding a smile as I recalled the intense love making we had done after the twenty minutes of crying I had done when he had brought me back home with him. He hadn’t just been alright with my decision of course he was really jealous, possessive and protective about the whole debacle and with the perpetrator still breathing alive in his own building he was a lot on edge than I would have liked.But he had turned that energy

*SILIA*“Only ten days are left,” Gavin said, making all of us sigh in frustration.“That's too little time and we still don’t have any clue about where Romani might be,” Nick mumbled, having joined the Mafia unable to stay away from this life after getting so deep into it once again.“No we don’t give up hope here, we can still turn the situation around, we just need to think from another perspective,” Diana said, making me nod along but if truth be said even I was losing confidence with how little time we had left.“If it makes anyone feel good then at least the Ravens aren’t in any position to even care about this game when they are already so deep in their own troubles,” Alfeo said, making me nod along.“Not to forget that the Phantoms don’t seem to have any clue about Romani too, although they have become more frantic in their searches,” I said, frowning near the end.No matter what anybody said or did it was clear that we were all on the edge with how close we were to winning an

*SILIA*“Hey! Hey who are you people! Get off my farm!”A man came shouting at us like a lunatic when we stopped our cars in front of his house.Getting out of the car Alfeo approached the man and introducing himself he said, “We just need a little assistance from you. We need to check something in your barn. Can we please do that?”“No absolutely not!” The old and hot headed man shouted at us, “You think I'll just let you jackasses get into my property just like that. Absolutely not mister.”“We will be happy to pay you a good amount of money for that. If you would just let us in then this briefcase full of money will be yours,” He said, showing him a briefcase that had been brimming full with money. By the way this farm and house looked, he really needed that for repair works and maybe to even live life in general.He stopped and hesitated for a minute when suddenly the door to his house opened and through it came an old lady, probably his wife.“Al? Who are these people?” she aske

*SILIA*I couldn’t grasp the sense of reality. I had killed the one person that had previously meant the world to me. I had thought that I hated her a lot but even now when she had said that she hated me I couldn’t help but feel hurt. I didn’t want her to hate me. I had wanted things to have never gone the way that they had.I never wanted to lose her.“Shh, it’s alright you did what you had to,” Draven said and slowly walked towards me. I could see the pity in his eyes and I am sure I looked like a mess but his eyes didn’t stray to anywhere else but my eyes. His gray ones pierced straight into mine, reminding me of the peaceful shine of a breezy moonlit night.Reaching me he first gripped my hand over the fork and prying away my hand carefully from the weapon of murder he took hold of my violently shaking hands that couldn’t control the tension now that they weren’t holding onto the wood for dear life. Throwing away the fork to a safe distance away he immediately pulled me into a hu
