PRETTY AS A PICTURE

CHAPTER 7 NO ESCAPE

Izzy's POV

I had blood every where but was still on a high, I never expected in a million years that I would ever have to expose myself like that, Yes Poppa had me take part in the Illegal fights but I came so close to killing my own uncle, I was disappointed in myself and him, I guess that is what the true face of the Mafia looked like everything else was a lie. I pulled up at the shooting range now feeling the pain a little, I walked in the door Fletch saw me and quickly raced over to me " Princess what happened?" he asked concerned "Don't worry about me Pop you should see the other guy" I said chuckling "So you have tasted your first kill aye missy" Fletch asked proudly. 

"Nah almost kill, I couldn't do it" I said looking at Fletch a little worried. "Why not Princess, I see it in you, you have a killer instinct" he responded. Now things were about to get awkward " Ah Um because it was your son" I responded quietly. Fletch looked at me I was waiting for the roar and for him to kick me out but to my surprise he responded with " He finally met his match, It needed to happen he was getting to comfortable and had been slacking in training, I would like to thank you though Princess for not taking his life, with all that said and done you can stay with me, and I'll teach you the things your Poppa left out trying to hide you from Mafia Life I suspect".

"Pops how is it your so accepting of me, I nearly killed your son but your acting like your totally ok with it" I asked now a little confused. "Its part of our code of Honor Princess, I love my boy and would die for him but I love you the same way even though we have only known each other a short time, Because of my relationship with Kingston, You are now Mine to protect and care for, Tyson may have taken my place in the Familia but Honor would say as long as I breath I am still the head of his household, that's just how it works honey". "you and your Ma are now in every sense of the word my family, You are both Mafia daughters even if you don't want to be Princess it's in your blood" Fletch continued to explain.

Fletch then led me out the back and started tending to my wounds. It was only after he had dressed them all that I realized most of the blood on me was uncle Tysons. Fletch actually chuckled when he realized the same thing. "Pops what happens now?" "Tonight you come with me and tomorrow I'll explain everything, Come on Princess lets go". "Um Pops I kind of stole my ma's car I'll just follow you" I said feeling guilty. Fletch was laughing at me "Oh my sweet Izzy you are truly something else" he responded still laughing.

Fletch locked up Jumped in his car and drove off, I jumped in my Ma's car and followed him. We arrived at a gated mansion with security, Fletch said something to the dudes and they let us both drive in. His house was just as big as the Giovani's place, I was in awe. "Come on Izzy come and meet everyone" "Everyone?" I responded Fletch looked back at me and smiled. I walked in behind him and a maid came over Fletch instructed her to take my bag and escort me to the guest room. "Izzy follow Pat she'll take you up so you can shower change then come back down for quick introduction" He kind of ordered. I could now see the similarities between him and my Poppa and I kind of liked it.

Pat showed me to my room as I thought it was crazy huge and for want of a better word Posh as all hell. Took me a good 5 minutes to figure out how to use the shower, I was tired a little confused all I could do was laugh at myself. After I showered washed my hair and brushed my teeth, I chucked on my short shorts and an oversized Tee shirt that hung off my shoulder left my hair out to air dry and made my way back to find Fletch. Pat was waiting for me down the bottom of the stairs "Please Miss follow me" she said politely.

She took me and led me to huge wooden doors that she knocked on waited for the invite in then she pushed one of the doors and announced me, I chuckled this was just too much. "Miss umm" she looked at me "Izzy just Izzy" I said to her still chuckling "Miss Izzy" she finally spoke out. I shook my head smiled at her and thanked her. "So Pops who am I meet...... before I could finish my sentence I saw the scary Cyrus look a like guy staring at me and all that came out of my mouth was "s**t". Fletch was laughing "so I guess you have met Massimo" Fletch asked. " screamed at, was almost killed by his killer glare but met Pops not really" "My sweet Izzy I'm not even going to ask" Fletch said still laughing.

"Mass this is Izzy she will be your new sparring partner" Fletch announced, the arrogant prick looked down his nose at me but he gave a curt Nod, I couldn't help myself because he looked at me like I was dirt I ran up to him and bro hugged him "Hey Mass how they hanging, assuming you have something to hang" the room erupted in laughter, I had forgotten there were other dudes in the room. Massimo looked like he was going to stab me. "Izzy behave yourself" Fletch warned but he was still chuckling. A tall dude with black hair and green eyes approached me stuck out his hand and introduced himself "Hey Izzy I'm Alistair" I took his hand to shake it, Instead he kissed the back of my hand. "Alistair nice to meet you, Just a warning make sure you wash your lips I just had my hand on some one else's A S S all but an hour ago" I responded with a smile.

He looked at me but chuckled " A sense of humor well thank the lord for that but honestly I did" I said chuckling with him. Next another guy just as tall with dirty blonde hair and Brown eyes approached me "Taylor" he said as he shook my hand "Izzy" I replied. " Taylor is Caleb Your brother?" "Yup he is, How do you know Caleb?" "We go to school together, I only met him today but you guys look a like" I responded. "So then you must have met my brother Seb" Alistair asked. "Seb is your brother" I giggled "Seb is my new bestie". Alistair raised his eyebrow at me with a questioning look. "You guys are all old dudes then like 23ish am i right" I asked "You are right I'd hardly call us old though" Taylor said with a grin. "Dude just age gracefully I'm 18 so 23 is old as F u ... "Izzy your language" Fletch corrected me "My bad Pops force of habit, 2 years with my Poppa and I'm sure you remember his language". I responded. 

"Pops can I hit the hay I have school in the morning" "You won't be going to school tomorrow Izzy we have things to discuss but by all means go to bed sweet heart we have an early start". I went over kissed Pops on the cheek, he smiled at me and with a sweet goodnight I was off to bed.

MASSIMO'S POV

"Fletch why is she here?" I asked really not happy about it. "To train Mass just like you" he replied. "Forgive me Fletch but shouldn't she be with the girls or if she's good should she not be with Clay and Cyrus's group?" I asked not understanding this old man. The three of us were being prepared to take over from our fathers this girl had no connection as far as I knew and wasn't a successor to any of our families. "She is here as Part of my house the House of Black and she is not a successor but she will be prepared for missions" Fletch announced " You mean that kid is going to be a Familia assassin" I asked with disbelief. "she would have to have beaten a high ranked member to obtain that right" Taylor chimed in. "Yes that is right she can't be trained by some one she has beaten now can she" Fletch answered with the hugest smile on his face.

"She beat Tyson, No way" I replied "Not only did she beat Tyson if it wasn't for the fact that she saw him as family she would have killed Tyson" Fletch responded. I was gob smacked as to were Alistair and Taylor. I had to know who this kid was and where the hell she came from, I didn't like her one bit, she had made my brother go crazy with the need to own her and she had humiliated and almost broke my baby sisters hand. Fletch saw potential he could sniff out the killer instinct a mile away, all I saw was trouble. I had never disagreed with Fletch before he may be old but he was still sharp and as ruthless as ever but this time I had to pull rank.

"Fletch I respect you more than any one but I can't have that kid getting in our way, I'm sorry but she can train with us but she will never be one of us". "That's where you're wrong she is one of us her Grandpa was Kingston Rivera her mother is Ara Rivera his only daughter and it is your father who has placed her in the house of Black if we do not Claim her Mass she will be claimed sooner or later by her father and that deadly little weapon will then be a part of the Chicago Mafia, her father is Don Maximus," " Don Maximus why has he not taken her then" I asked a little confused "He doesn't know she exists Ara and Kingston kept her true identity hidden, Izzy is totally unaware of her paternal heritage but that little girl has stronger blood ties than even you have Mass, You have just met the next heir of the Chicago Familia".

" I either turn her into an assassin or we match her into our Familia, You've  met her it's not hard to tell that my Izzy would probably die before she let us match her, so our only choice is to train her and make her take a blood oath tying her to our Familia and should she ever succeed to Maximus's throne our Familiars would have to Join making us stronger than all other Familia" Fletch explained. This is crazy how could one kid hold so much power and not even know it, My mind boggled with that said we all made our way to bed. I watched and waited till I thought everyone was sleeping and I walked into her room. She was sprawled out with her hair every where snoring.

This kid even slept like she didn't give a s**t. I had to admit even with all the bruises on her face she was still exceptionally beautiful and her body was banging, Even with all that I despised her she was like  a time bomb waiting to go off, I was not going to let her blow my Familia apart. I sat looking at her trying to think of my next course of action but what ever I decided to do I had to be careful she had Fletch and his house along with my own father protecting her. All I know is there will be No Escape for her. My new life's mission is  to make this kid submit, break her then dispose of her. I smiled as I began to formulate a plan "sorry Izzy but you got to go" I whispered as I left her room
