23: Alive

R A V E N

"How is everything going?" I asked.

"Going well, uncle." The girl right in front of me answered.

"Jewel, keep those hands off my dear Niece." I said not paying much attention to the man in front of me who dares to snake his hands in my Niece's waist.

"Oh come on Босс, it's not like we're not in a relationship, right?" He said kissing my Niece in her forehead.

"Yeah, uncle, when will that thing actually die anyways?" She asked.

"Soon." I said.

"Can't we just kill her? I mean right now." She rolled her eyes.

"No, we need her for something." I reasoned.

"Tsk, Your reasoning are never good, Uncle." I looked at her unbelievably.

"Is that how You think of the Brother of Your dumbass of a Father?" I asked seriously.

"I-It's not that uncle. It's just, I'm getting bored, irritated, and impatie—" I didn't let her finish her sentence as it's annoying me more and more.

"I said it'll be soon. Be wary of Your words. I'm not interested in someone who will be like Your full of a shit father. Be useful to me, Evelia." I angrily said.

"Y-Yes, uncle." She lowered her head.

"Leave. Both of You, leave." I commanded.

They left and I was left there thinking of how the hell did those fuckers defeated a gang handled by my sister? How could my sister be such a fool? Our sister is much smarter than that asshat.

But most of all, how dare they lay their hands on my sister, as Sokolov. They'll pay.

And that dumb daughter of my brother are full of mouthshits but isn't even helpful to me. Even Jewel who I trust to be much smarter than those, is being such a sucker for my Niece.

Evelia Marie Sokolov, You may be a beauty, but at least make that beauty of yours usefull.

And that teacher who I even payed for everything didn't help at all.

Do I need to do everything by my self?!

G I O V A N N I

Me, Alec, and Toshiro has been looking after our sister while training for the past few days, the others are working hard to find that Raven.

She's been off school for weeks now, we just take a risk again. We already did that time when we knew something is endangering her life yet we still let her go to school knowing that that's what she wants. And that happened. We're not taking the same risk twice.

Her stubbornness is to the max, it's like being in a conversation with someone pertinacious, I didn't even know that this girl will be so stubborn considering how she will always say Yes to what we say without question.

But I guess that's better, that means she's comfortable enough to say No to us. If she says no then it's a no, but in this case, no is not possible. She'll be studying inside the house for the meanwhile.

"That's great, Amellia. But the way You're holding Your gun is wrong." I said as I walk closer to her.

I held her arms assisting her to the right position and fixing the way she's holding the gun.

"You'll hurt Yourself instead if You do that." I said.

"Now, shoot." I commanded which she abide immediately.

5 gun shots were heard. Only one hit a part.

"That's actually fair for first timers." I said.

"Can You show me how You do it then?" She smiled.

"A pleasure." I took the gun in her hands.

Reloaded it, pulled the barrel and aimed at the target while still looking at Amellia who is shocked seeing me not look in where I was shooting.

5 gunshots were heard again, but this time all of hit the same place at least twice.

"How?" She asked amazed.

"You want something cooler? Asked Your brother, Alec." I smirked knowing how much Alec would say no go everyone but would actually show it to our princess.

"Really? Aleccccc!" She came running to Alec.

A L E C X A N D R E I

"Alecccc!" I heard a running Amellia shout.

I looked at her confused onto why she is running towards me all of a sudden. I looked at Giovanni who is with her earlier, and based on his smirk, he said something that made Amellia excited.

"Yeah?"

"Gio said You could show me something much cooler than him hitting the same place at least twice." She said with a big smile.

"Can I?" I looked up in the ceiling my hands on my chin as if I'm thinking about something.

"Please, show me, Alec!" She begged.

"Okay, okay." I chuckled.

We came closer to Gio.

"So, You about to how her?" The way he asked me says it all, he is trying to annoy me. And it's working.

I glared at him, yet he just laughed.

I picked up one of the daggers in the table. "This is something I don't show anyone, Amellia. It's not that interesting."

I played the dagger in my hand, then slowly putting it closer to my face, I could see how confused Amellia is as I put it closer to my mouth.

I bit the pommel. Using my mouth I threw the dagger and aimed the head.

"Wow!" Amellia's eyes are shining as she looks at the shooting target.

It's not really something, but I could use it as an advantage when fighting. I could put at least 3 daggers in my mouth and hit all three enemies anywhere I want, while I still use my gun. I never failed to do it.

"That's cool." Amellia said looking at the shooting target.

I looked at the shooting target, a human sized shooting target.

I looked at Amellia who is still observing the dagger I threw earlier. "I'll teach You how to use a gun." I said.

Her Eyes brightened.

"Okay!"

"We'll be using dummy rounds. Here, I prepared this for You to use." I said.

That day continued with hours of practice, a meal with the whole family, and a fun time together.

"Our thoughts when Amellia was born! I mean all of us are already at t at the age of 4 and higher when Amellia was born, and she lived with us until she was three, some of us are at least 7 years old and could remember!" Ao suggested.

We're having a fun time, cousins, brothers only. Our parents are up stairs having their own time, we suggested that they take some rest.

We'll be fine, just don't let our guard down.

"Yeah!"

"Sure."

"Good Idea."

"You finally have some decent Idea."

Everyone agreed.
