《She's dead》Chapter 18

Sapphire POV -
I woke up to an empty room this morning but from the heat on the other side of the bed, I could tell my father had left recently along with the rest. I look to see it's already after noon and I've already missed breakfast and lunch. I ran my hands down my face harshly after remembering my nightmare last night. My emotion were a mess and I had to control them. I decided to do a job today. I also thought about calling Kota to cover for me but he's been MIA for over a week now, not answering any of my calls or texts and enzo has no clue where he is either, I'm getting worried but I called Emilio (Kota's brother) and he said he's just busy. Eh fuck it.
I add some of rivers baggy joggers over the top so that they are covering my bottoms and all my weapons. I walk down to half the boys In the living room messing about while dad and Zai are on their laptops looking like they've got a massive headache.
"Hey dad. I'm going out and I just wanted to let you know. I'll grab some food while I'm out so don't worry" he replies with an okay, be safe before kissing my forehead and letting me leave.
As soon as I'm out of the estate I pull over and change out of the joggers and check my work phone for any interesting jobs. I find a client who wanted me to kill the man who raped his daughter and 2 men that have kidnapped a set of young twins after killing their parents from a police friend of mine who said they were having trouble. Fucking dirty bastards. Let's get the rapist quick so I can focus on the kids. After driving to the location of the pub he seems to be in, I make sure no one is around before sneaking through the back door, slipping my bandanna on my face so only my eyes are visible.
I think it must be my lucky day as i find him walking towards the bathrooms. I smirk as I slip into the men's bathroom after making sure it's empty and leaning again the wall. I take my favourite knife out of my shoe before twirling it round my finger watching as he walks casually into the bathroom not even noticing me. "Well well well, look who's e have here. James brown. 43. Single, no kids. Has raped over 10 girls between the ages of 9 and 15. A man who deserves to pay"I say my face contorting into an evil smile, one that could send shivers down even the most powerful men.

"Wh-what, what are you gonna do. Y-your just some wea-weak little girl. You know I could have some fun with you"he says gaining confidence towards the end. Now I'm angry. I grip him by the neck pinning him to the wall behind me.
"Oh honey. I'm no little girl." I say smiling sickly sweet. "I'm hellfire"I whisper in his ear pressing even harder on his throat. He's now shaking with fear Beneath me, his hands scratching at my hands and his face begins to turn purple. I roll my eyes letting him fall to the ground with a loud thud. Shit someone probably heard that.
"Now as much as I'd loooove to torture you till you beg me for death. I've got to make this fast. Burn in hell bastard" I spat before slitting his throat and leaving him in their to bleed out. I make sure to get rid of any evidence that I was there and take a picture to send to my client and leave hellfires signature, which is a queen of spades card with black flames rising from the bottom, before I fix my mask walking out of there before doing some hacking to find the kids and driving to the next location. After getting to the abandoned house it's says they are in, I find 2 men sitting drinking beer infront of the telly.
As they notice me both become more alert, well as alert as a couple of drunk men could be. "Come on. If you can kidnap 2 kids and kill their parents in front of them, you can surely fight me. I mean, it is two against one. Im bound to lose" I say with a hidden smirk, cocking my head to the side, feigning innocence which made both men pounce. I fight off both the men who were drunk off their asses, I mean It wasn't hard considering they could barely stand. Punch. Punch. Swipe. Roundhouse kick to the temple. And they are down. "Burn in hell bastards" I spat as I shot them both In the head, leave my card and clean any evidence of me being involved before searching for the kids.
The only place I haven't looked is the attic, I made my way up the old, braking stairs before quietly looking round the room for the twins. I spot them both, dirty and shivering, out of fear or the cold I'm not sure. They looked about 3 years old maybe even younger. "Hi babies. It's okay. Those bad men can't hurt you anymore." I coo, crouching to their height and putting my arms out innocently, showing no movements aimed to hurt them. They hesitantly look at each other before standing up but making no move to come closer. "Your okay. I'm here to help you. I'm here to look after you" that's all it takes for them both to drop into my arms hugging me as best they can while crying.

I pick them up setting them on a hip each, they seem light like they have eaten in a few weeks and have light bruises visible. Oh babies. "I'm Ezekiel and this is my sister Emerald" the young boy said after calming himself down.
"Hi sweethearts. I'm Sapphire."
"Are you gonna look after us now?" Emerald whispered. "Our mummy and daddy aren't hear anymore. The bad men hurt them and they wouldn't wake up" she finished with tears in her eyes. I feel my eyes soften looking at them both.
"We'll see baby" if I can't find any living relatives willing or suitable to take them in, I will. They will not be out in foster care, not like I was.
Instead of going to my house straight away, I go to Enzos so I can change, eat and find out where these little ones will be staying. After I've showered, bathed the little ones and got us all changed (after having a maid get them some clothes), we all go down to the kitchen where there is food for us all on the table and enzo is sitting on his laptop.
While I was cutting up the kids food into small pieces and letting them eat, enzo decides to fill me in as I eat my chicken. "So I've found out that their only living relative is their grandma from their mothers side, however she is in a care home and not able to take care of them" he says before looking up at me, switching his gaze between all three of us.
"What are you going to do with them now" this catches the attention of the twins as their eyes begin to water.
"Ar-are you going to give us away" Ezekiel whimpers looking up at me with his big tear-filled green eyes. I shake my head at him smiling gently, with tears in my eyes as they reminds me of oceana, before saying. "I'm taking them in, they will be my children now. If they want, that is." Their heads bounce up and down excitedly making me laugh and enzo chuckle. I look up to see him looking at all of us with love in his eyes. "You can help me look after them if you'd like." His head whips to me so fast and his eyes with with joy before he practically screams out yes.
Laughing I ask him if it's alright if they stay with him until I figure out how to explain this all to my family to which he says yes. Before I go home, knowing my family are probably freaking out right now, I tuck them both in bed with a kiss in the head, promising to be back tomorrow.
"Thank you"is all I say to enzo before pecking his lips and making my way to the car before he can say anything.
Third person POV -
As I get home it's around 9 o'clock and im met with screams and guards running around. As I successfully dodge all guards, I come to my dads office where all the boys seem to be.
"WHERE IS SHE"
"WE ARE THE GOD DAMN ITALIAN MAFIA, HOW CAN WE NOT KNOW WHERE SHE IS" I decided this is the perfect opportunity to 'find out' about the mafia. Maybe I should tell them who I really am. Hmmm I'm not sure yet.
"What do you mean your the Italian mafia" I say stepping into the room, putting on a fake shocked face.
"Oh shit"I hear someone say not so quietly.
