Yolanda's standpoint
I stared at dad as he stared back at me with his cold look, the one he uses on every other people but me. Since what happened two days ago, he had been quiet, locked away and obviously thinking. The next thing I knew, I was here. He sat behind his office table, his palms folded under his chin and lips pressed into a thin line; he was terrifying me.
'Dad, are you going to speak now?' He remained mute, his gaze turning colder and sharper. 'Please? My teacher is waiting for me…'
'You wouldn't be having any lessons today, I cancelled it.'
'Why?'
'Yolanda, with the recent happening around me, I have been force to realize that I am going too far with your training and the authority I am giving to you…'
'What is that suppose to mean?'
'First, rules will be laid down along with adequate punishments for each disobedience.'
'Teddy Berry, is this you talking?'
'From now on, Yolanda, you will live by my rules, abide by my decisions or be punished for disobedience like I said just now. The main rules to be noted; never interrupt me when I speak, don't look me in the eyes like we are age mates, don't use any form of command tone on me, don't yell at the names of the specific men I will give to you. Be quiet when we speak because you are just a child…'
'But, dad…'
'You have gone too far, Yolanda!' He yelled out angrily. 'Killing my men, punishing River for no reason, attacking me!'
'You told me never to be weak!' I yelled back at him.
'In case your foolish mind hasn't registered, I am Ame, Head of all Mafias. What right do you have to question or talk to me with such insolence?'
I kept shut, he was right. 'But, dad…'
'I have had enough, given you enough time to start getting use to us, to know your place, but it seems like you don't know who you are and what I am capable of doing…'
'I'm sorry,' I sobbed.
'For yelling back at me, not even talking, the first punishment will be served.'
'No, I will start behaving now, please?' I pleaded in tears, clasping my hands together. I know how ruthless dad can be when he is in king mode, I honestly overstepped my boundaries. But he has never once cared.
'The next time you make any mistake, I will start by roasting those dogs of yours and making you eat their raw flesh, is that clear?' He asked acidly, I could literally feel the poison going down my throat. 'Here,' he pushed a big book to me. 'That's the rules and all you need to know, now get out of my office and remain in your room reading that.'
'Yes, daddy,' I said sadly. I carried the big green book and jumped down from the chair. I walked out of his office and headed to the stairs, Vee was coming. 'Vee,' I sobbed.
'Baby, what's wrong?' She asked worriedly, I don't like her uniform.
'Daddy scolded me,'
'Why?'
'He said I'm over the top rude, arrogant and bossy. That I'm overstepping my boundaries and disobeying him.'
'And is he wrong?' She asked calmly with a frown. 'You are just a kid, think about what you are becoming. This shitty business killed your mother, father, grandmother, grandfather and might probably kill him too. Is that what you want with your life?'
'But it's the only thing I'm good at,' I whimpered.
'Killing,' she snorted, 'every child has a colorful dream, look for that color before your world turns black and white.' She said with her normal smile and walked out on me, that long lock man followed behind.
What colorful dreams?
All my life, I have only lived knowing I can do nothing than fight, do nothing than be like my generations before me have. It is what makes us, what we are born to do but…
Cookie's standpoint
I seriously hate this uniform! Can somebody tell me how to make use of thy scissors?! I huffed as I tried to drag the bottom down, again. I can only wear this when I really want to, not when I have to be forced.
'Heh, heh,' Bruce chuckled. 'You look like a penguin with that steps,'
'Shut up,' I groaned.
'Shut up,' he mimicked. 'Babe, you still haven't told me about that hot friend of yours,'
'She's not your type,'
'Why?'
'You are a broke ass bodyguard.' I deadpanned.
'Ouch, that cut me real deep, Penguin… Hey! That's your new name!'
'Sure thing, Bruise, sure thing.' I said smirkingly. He laughed behind me, he still won't let me be about Ursula, but she deserves someone better. But if I were to choose someone for Ursula from the men I'd met, Bruce was the best.
