She had been gone for three days now. It was really starting to put a toll on me. I was so stressed out. Hardly anyone was sleeping. My grandpa was pretty worried as well. My phone started ringing.
"Boss. We spotted her. Heading into a fight club. The one in her hometown, should we move." He asks.
"No no, we will come and get her ourselves." When I said that everyone looked up. Everly and Maddison had gone shopping by thereselves. I didnt like her around Eve and I could tell everyone agreed. They didnt seem to like Eve that much. I heard grandpa saying: "looks like she is exactly like her mother."
They didnt like my mother at all as she did take the babies of the family away. I guess she really does remind them of her. They were going to love Elijah then.
"They fount her?", Asked my grandpa.
"Yes, heading into a fight club in her home town, we could be there in an hour or so if we took the jet straight there.", I say.
"Lets go!", Carlo and Claudio say at the same time. They are Uncle Jasons and Julias twins.
"No only the eldest may go, it could be dangerous, we dont want to spook her either. The eldest will go. Me, Lorenzo, Mason, Riccardo, Marcello, and Jason and Louis you may come too if you would like to meet your niece.", My grandpa says.
"Of course, Lets get going then.", My father said. Finally we were going to her now. She was going to be safe. She was going to be home.
We said goodbye to my cousins and brothers and my grandma. She whispered in my ear to keep her safe. My aunts gave me a hug and my cousins and brothers were pratically jumping off the walls. I mean I am too on the inside. I could tell even Riccardo and Marcello was excited. My grandpa and father kept there structure though.
We got onto the plane and headed off.
"So anything about her we should know about.", Grandpa asked.
"Well, um", I stutter. They look at me pretty surprised. I never stuttered.
"She might be a bit jumpy around new people she doesnt know. Her step father and mother didnt treat her very well." I say slowly. They look at me as if to say continue.
"They use to abuse her. I am only telling you guys this so you know she wont be open to trusting new people. Dont tell the others, as she will probably want to tell them herself.", I say. The tension in the room was rock solid.
My father had his arms and fists clenched as he mumbled under his breathe. My grandpa looked angry. Like anything could happen at this moment. My eldest cousins were sat in shock. They couldnt believe that a mother could do that to her child. My uncles were the same as my father. They looked they would be willingly to kill for her already.
"She also took a bullet for me." I say laughing. They look at me.
"What?!", Shouted my grandpa. He never shouted.
"Well when we went to get her, she must of seen someone trying to shoot me, and she jumped infront. She didnt cry though, she just yelled at me I was an idiot.", I say.
Everyone then smiled. I had never seen my grandpa smile. Ever. It was shock. We all looked at him.
"Well, she really seems like a Romano.", He says still smiling. The others were smiling.
"Did they ever touch Eve?", Marcello asks.
"No, not that I know off. They loved her alot, and treated her well. They just hated Elijah for a reason.", I say back. They nod. The tension was suddenly back.
"We should sleep for a bit, until we get there, to make sure we arnt really tired." I say.
They all nod and we head off into different directions, my grandpa, father and uncles taking the bedrooms whilst me and my cousins slept on the sofa.
"Is she really that amazing." I heard Riccardo ask.
"She really is." I reply back, and fall asleep pretty quickly.
An hour later
I woke up to my father typing on laptop. He looked up to me and smiles.
"I cant wait to meet her son. She seems like family already.", He says. I guess Elijah really has that toll on people.
"I just wonder what your grandfather will think of her. She seems very opinionated.",He says to me. The pilot went over the intercom saying that we are landing. We were off to meet her.
My grandfather came out, so did my uncles and my cousins woke up. We were all wide awake ready for the night to come.
We get off the plane and head off to the address of the fight club. I wonder what she is doing here, she is only 14 and this place really isnt safe enough for a young teen girl.
We walk in to the place and everything goes quiet. Everyone notices us. We were pretty intimidating as we were all dressed in top suits. People parted the way as we went to sit down. We were all looking for Elijah.
The announcer then comes into the ring. Where the hell was she?
"HELLLLLOOOO EVERYBODYYYYYYY!!", He screamed. Everyone cheered suddenly. They were excited obviously. It was a different crowd then we were use too. It was full of family people, with kids at the stand. Not the usual buisness of quietly discussing who is going to win. They were all chanting.
"TIGER, TIGER, TIGER, TIGER!"
Who the hell was tiger? Then we saw Elijah. Stepping into the ring. I could reconise her even with the mask on. Holy shit, she was tiger. I went to the ring to stop the fight and so did my cousins but my father and uncles stopped us. They nodded towards grandfather.
"I want to watch.", He says in a low voice. It was pride sweeping through. He loved that she was sticking up for herself. That she was strong enough to fight. Our pride was soon interupted when a huge man came into the ring.
NO FUCKING WAY WAS SHE FIGHTING HIM! He would break her. Yet we didnt move. We all trusted her. Like she knew exactly what she was doing.
The man stepped into the ring. He looked very nervous. Ha. Wuss. Scared of a 14 year old girl. We heard the bell ring to say to fight. I guess it was my time. I put all the anger into the fight.
He went for my throat with a punch, but I grabbed his fist before he even managed to throw it half way, twisted it backwards untill I heard a large crack, I then lifted my legs between the back of kneck and flipped him over using my upper body strength making him fall onto the ground hard onto his back. He got back up with him trying to catch his breathe.
"STOP PLAYING WITH HIM TIGER!", I heard Danny yell. I looked up and smirked at him and gave him a little wave. His laughter travelled around the room. The guy then came at me again, so I punched him clear in the nose knocking the poor fellow out completely. His body smacked on the floor as roars filled the large room.
"TIGER WINS! TIGER IS STILL UNDEFEATED!", Dannys voice screamed through the room. I knelt down to check for the mans pulse and poored some water from my bottle onto his face. He woke up startled and looked at me.
I offered my hand and he took it.
"Your good kid. Good match", He says as we shake hands. Everyone is watching is silence. It was very odd for oponents to shake after a fight. But I think it showed respect to the fighter. I mean he did know what he was getting into right.
The crowd then goes off into cheers as I look around. Thats when I notice them. My brother. And more men with them, I recognised them from the photo, it was my uncles and cousins. My father and grandfather were also there.
"EVERYONE OUT NOW! LETS CELEBRATE!", I scream and everyone leaves, leaving only me and my family.
"You want me to leave?", Danny says.
"Yes.", I say still staring straight at them.
This is going to be intresting.
