Claimed by the Mafia King

THEIR WERE ARMED MEN AT EACH STATION AROUND THE BLOCK.

I sighed, raking my brain for a better escape plan. My heart was beating so fast I couldn’t even bring myself to breath. I knew that it was best to wait a while, study my environment and come up with an escape plan but I was anxious.

I wanted to leave immediately.

Some things were better achieved when we didn’t plan for them. Like escaping from the clutches of a murderer.

I looked round the room not knowing what I was searching for until it dawned on me that I had to find a weapon If there was any around.

Thinking about it, it would be impossible for there to be no weapon in the room of a gang leader and killer, one of the eighth wonders of the world kind of thing.

I closed my eyes and thought about all the Mafia and gang movies I had watched. ‘Where do they hide their guns?’ I asked myself thinking slowly.

My eyes fluttered open gently as if I had just been awoken from a trance. I rushed to the drawer besides the bed and pulled it open there it was__a gun. I took it out immediately and checked if it was loaded. It was, perfect.

My ex best friend in primary school, Mathew, had taught me how to use a gun. He was the son of a general and he loved his father’s job so much, he hoped to have it one day.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Sadly, his father was promoted so many years back and they all had to leave the country. I never did forget how to check a gun, it fascinated me and I hardly got to forget anything that I fancied. It was at this point that I found myself missing him again. It had been so many years.

I heard water run in the bathroom and I knew it was time to leave. I ran to the window and inspected my fall. “Lord help me. I know I don’t pray much but please help me I am praying now. Please help me Lord. Save me from this man.” I prayed, pressing my palms together.

I put my legs over the window and brought it back. My heart was beating so fast I almost fainted. Then I heard the door to the bathroom open and I knew I had no time to entertain fear.

“Alright Mirabel you can do this. One. Two. Three.” I counted. On the third count I jumped down hitting the ground with a loud thump. But luckily I fell on grass so I didn’t hurt my leg much, although I almost sprained my ankle. The house was a one story building but it was not a far jump.

I held the gun tight moving slowly round the house. I was in a garden and there were three men standing at different points heavily armed. When I took one step, one came to my direction and I almost passed out.

I was lucky enough to hide behind the wall before he caught sight of me.

I was about to take another step when White Lion screamed my name.

“Mira!”

Startled, I stopped on my tracks, I nearly pissed on myself. The gun almost slipped from my hand as both my hands were shaking.

“Mira I know you are down there. Show yourself don’t let me find you!”

I stopped. My heart beat racing fast.

I started to run like my life depended on it, because it did. I ran to the right because there was no one there when I started running. Few of his men who had heard him call me ran after me.

“Stop!” They screamed in warning.

But I didn’t stop because something told me that they were not going to do shoot me.

So I ran.
