Kidnapped By The Mafia

Chapter 2

8 years old:

I was picked up in one of the men’s arms as they walked up the stairs and through a dark hallway. I felt so tired and sleepy, my eyes barely stayed open but I forced them too. It would be dangerous to sleep around strangers.

I laid my head down at the indifferent man’s shoulder.

They led me through hall after hall turning through so many wide doors that I lost count after 13. It was a while later that the man put me on my feet in front of a woman, who was dressed like a maid from my favorite cartoon.

She assessed me from head to toe and nodded at the men, who turned around and left quietly. I watched them walk away and as they shut the doors behind themselves, I turned to the lady in front.

She shocked me by bowing her head as a gesture for respect.

“Welcome to the base, future donna.”

I stared at her in confusion as she raised her head and held out her hand.

“I’m Sally and I am going to be responsible for your grooming.”

I shook my head in response. Mama was the one who would groom me, not a random lady I met after being kidnapped.

“You aren’t my mama.”

She sighed before crouching down to be face to face with me.

“Yes, I’m not your mom Donna, but it would benefit you if you forget about the life you’ve led up till now.”

I shook my head again, making her frown.

“I’ve been ordered by the boss to raise you in the most stern and strict environment possible, you must respect your husband and the boss. Any form of disrespect will be dealt with harshly, so for your own good, I suggest you quietly follow every instruction given to you.”

I swallowed in fear, husband? I was only 8 years old, who marries off an 8 year old now a days?

“Now then, please follow me.”

She held out her hand and I placed my own shaking one in hers. She led me out of the room and up another pair of stairs before making a few turns till we were greeted by a large white door.

She used a card attached to her dress to open it and the light inside made me close my eyes. It was completely different here than back there, whereas that area was darker and gloomier, this was brighter and better and much much larger.

We stood in the middle of what looked like a throne room, but I knew from disney movies and the lack of a throne, that it wasn’t one. There were a few men who were standing around the room with guns in hand, they stood still like statues only their eyes moved and followed our movements as I looked around and made eye contact with all of them.

Before turning my head abruptly as the sound of another door opening greeted my ears.

“Donna.”

The woman beside me bowed, as another woman stepped through the doors. She was dressed in a gown that fell till her ankles, her black hair was up in a loose bun and a few strands fell around her face like a frame. A small smile was at her lips and it made her look nicer than everyone else around me.

“Sally.”

She greeted the woman beside me before smiling at me warmly. I continued to stare at her blankly in confusion, her smile faltered before she sighed and knelt down before me.

“May I have a word with her, alone?”

The woman named sally was about to protest but with a pointed look from Donna she nodded her head.

“Of course Donna.”

The Donna held out her hand and I took it without hesitation. She smiled at me and led me away from everyone else. It was after climbing another staircase that she opened a massive door and led me inside.

It was a bedroom, with off white walls and cream colored furniture. A huge bed lay in the middle and she gestured for me to sit on it. I did, with a little help from her. I couldn’t help that I was tiny, Papa loved calling me pipsqueak. Always forgetting that my mama would be following him around the house after that and making him do all the chores since I always pretended to cry when he did that.

Mama knew I wasn’t crying for real and so did Papa and he even tried to protest several times but mama would just scold him and tell him to scrub the floors till they were sparkly. All the while, I would sit back and watch them with chocolate.

Thinking about them made me sad, Was I never going to see them again?

I looked up to see the woman sitting on a couch with her head in her hands.

“I’m so sorry about this child, but I’m completely helpless and can’t do anything about this.”

I stared at her in shock and for the first time since I got here, felt the tears prick my eyes.

“Will I ever see them again?”

She looked up at me and tears filled her eyes. She looked like she was about to say something but thought better of it and just shook her head.

The tears finally fell down my cheeks.

“W-Why am I here?”

I asked as the woman wiped her eyes before walking over to me and kneeling in front of me while holding my hands.

“I was brought here under similar conditions, they picked me up randomly one day and when i woke up, I was here ready to be wedded off to the future boss. I was a teen at that time and threw a fit trying to fight all the people off and tell them to take me home. But it made everything worse, I was forcefully married to their boss because he picked me out of all the other girls.”

She wiped her tears and reached out to wipe mine as I sniffed.

“But he was a monster, he was merciless, he killed without complaint and he never thought about the consequences. Somehow, he is still alive and because of his experience with me, I’m guessing he asked his men to pick up children so they would have already settled into the lifestyle till she turned old enough.”

I stared at her and sniffled again, the tears still running down my face. She gently cupped my face and wiped them away.

“I wish I could help you get out of here but there’s no one who can help and if you get caught, he’ll throw you to his men.”

I swallowed before leaning into her arms as she hugged me and whispered comforting words while I whimpered and cried.

“What happens when I turn 18?”

“You get married.”

I froze before sniffling and wrapping my arms around her.

“Is there no way for me to get out?”

She shook her head.

“None at all, but as long as you’re here. I’ll take it upon myself to train you, so you won’t have to go through everything that they’ll put you through otherwise.”

I nodded my head and melted into her arms as she gently ran her fingers through my hair and held me tight, as if silently promising to protect me from whatever she went through.

“What are you supposed to train me for?”

“How to be a proper Donna, though I can assure you that Severus isn’t going to be even half as bad as his father.”

I sighed in relief before looking up curiously.

“Who’s Severus?”

I questioned confused.

She was about to answer but the door opened and the messy boy made an appearance. I pulled back from the Donna to frown at him and he stopped in his steps before closing the door behind himself.

“Him.”

The donna answered and smiled at the boy before gesturing him closer, my frown turned to a glare before turning to an angry pout as he stood two feet away from me.

“I don’t like him.”

I mumbled to the Donna, who chuckled in response.

“Looks like you’re already on the bad side of your wife, Sevvy.”

The boy frowned in return before turning to me and sighing.

“Its not my fault that she was the only one awake.”

He responded.

“He can talk?”

I questioned the Donna, who smiled at me amused.

“Yes, though he doesn’t talk often, I think he thinks that it makes him manly.”

She mumbled to me and I giggled in response while he cleared his throat.

“You know I can hear you right?”

The Donna winked at me and I smiled in return, feeling better than before.

“Yes we know, Sevvy.”

I send the Donna a mischievous look, which she returned with one of her own.

“I thought you said Sevvy was cute, he’s not cute at all.”

I fake pouted and he looked absolutely horrified.

“I am not supposed to be cute at all.”

He responeds in irritation. And I grinned like an i***t.

“Wait, nope, you were right, he is cute.”

He took a deep breath to probably calm himself down, but I noticed the light pink on his cheeks and moved over to him. He was taller than me, then again papa said even a duck would be taller than me.

Up this close, I was confused, why did I come closer again? anddd... I forgot. I pouted to myself as I stared up at him. He tilted his head to the side in confusion as if silently asking what I was doing.

“How old are you Sevvy?”

“Severus.”

He corrected but I responded with a childish grin.

“sevvy”

I smiled as his nose crinkled.

“I’m twelve.”

“No wonder you look old.”

He looked shocked while his mother laughed behind me.

“I am not old.”

He grumbled before staring at me, this time making me slightly uncomfortable.

“You’re cute.”

My face became hot as I turned around slowly and then ran and hid in his mother, who was still laughing. She patted my head and quieted down.

“Now now Severus, there’s no need to tease her.”

I pouted and looked up at her, and ended up getting a kiss at my nose. Just like my mama used to give me. I smiled at her in response, closing my eyes and showing my teeth so the tears didn’t fall.

“I don’t like one sided teasing.”

He replied and I know he’s closer by how much louder he sounds now. The Donna huffed and gestured him over to the bed.

He sat down beside her and is definitely very close to me, I could still feel his stare.

“Is she always going to react like that to compliments?”

He asked and I mumbled against the donnas stomach.

“Pronblen?” (Problem?)

“Nah, its cute.”

My face got even warmer as I held Donna even tighter. She ran her hands through my hair.

“I think its cute as well.”

She responded as I smiled against her stomach.

“Aren’t you supposed to be back at the warehouse?”

He questioned the Donna lazily and she stiffened around me.

“I have talked to your father about being the trainer.”

I heard him hum.

“Alright then, I need to go.”

He stood up and I heard his footsteps walking away.

“Come again.”

I whispered parting a bit from the Donna.

I don’t think he heard me as he opened the door. The Donna smiled at me because clearly she had heard me and I gave her a shy smile back.

He stepped out and turned to close the door but didn’t close it before smiling at me.

“I will.”

I squeaked in response and hid into his mother as she laughed and the door closed behind us.
