A Renewed Beginning

Need a place to hide, I can't find one near,
Wanna feel alive, outside, I can't fight my fear

VIENNA, AUSTRIA

"Tell me where it is" She warned placing a knife at his neck.

He remained silent and unmoving like nothing mattered around him, he was completely ignoring what she was saying and that frustrated her. He had been here for weeks, yet he had refused to answer a single question, no matter how much she tortured him, he wouldn't even scream or shout or plead- like he was used to it.

She slapped him, the force making his head tilt to the side. He stared at her with the same indifferent look, she threw her glass of whiskey across the room, yelling as it shattered on the opposite wall, he didn't even flinch.

"TELL ME, what should I do to open your fucking mouth!?!" She breathed in deeply trying to control her temper, gripping both arms of the chair, leaning in close looking him directly in the eyes.

"There's nothing you can do" A clipped reply was given by him.

Her eyes hardened, fury coiling in every inch of her being. She stabbed him in the thigh in anger, and he didn't even bat an eye "Don't you feel this pain?! Don't you want it to end, little bratt?!" She snarled.

"This pain is bearable, Katarina. I'll never forgive myself for what you will do once I give you what I want, I cannot bear that pain" He explains.

She smirks "You're afraid of ME? I assumed you never were" Her boots click against the stony floor as she circles around him, stopping right in front of him

"I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid of what you'll do" He replies, unfazed, his voice a little hoarse.

"Believe it or not, I'll have the drive" She leaned in closer "By hook or by crook" She whispered the last part.

"I'd like to see you try" It's his time to smirk now.

She closed the door shut behind her, dialing a number on her burner phone. "Sparrow, I need total- I mean in detail information of our prisoner's whereabouts right from the moment he disappeared. Use all resources you want and get it done. I want it by tonight"

(Antonella's POV)

 ROME, ITALY

A faint buzzing in my ears echoes as my eyelids flutter open. For a moment, I can't see anything, only a big wide blur- then the ceiling of my room comes into focus. I stay like that for a couple of minutes, staring at the ceiling, trying to collect my thoughts. I try to get up but every muscle, every bone in my body is aching, my body feels as if I've been hit by a truck, I let out a whimper, muscles straining under my weight.

Something shifts beside me and I realize that it's Gavino, he has an arm around my waist as he sleeps face down. On the other side of my bed, Elio and Leo are sleeping, as Leo lets out soft snores. I look around and I almost gasp, all of my brothers are here- sleeping. Ric, Dante and Sergio are sleeping while sitting on the couch. Antonio sits on a chair near the bed, his stethoscope almost slipping from his grip. The rest of them are sprawled on the floor, in sleeping bags and mattresses.

I hold my head as a sharp pain goes through my head, my eyes closing instinctively as memories flash through my mind-

"I told you to come with me, didn't I?" A faceless man snarls. "Look what you made me do, Ella" He points behind him.
