Ana Pov.

"Please Harrsion get me out of here, I can't do this anymore Jackie wants to marry me off. As soon as I turn 21 please Harri, your my last hope!" I am begging my brother on a burner phone I stole from Jacks stash. I keep looking at the door to make sure i'm not caught. I've been moved around the city for the last 6 months this is the first time i've spoken to Harri since my papa was shot.

"Annie, are you okay? What's going on over there, why is Jack the knife, giving orders what happened to Richard he was Papa's underboss?" Harrison has been out of our family for going on 5 years. He was lucky he made it out with a flesh wound. He's been looking for me but every time he comes to rescue me i'm moved. I remember when Harri left I wanted to go with him, but my Papa needed me, it would have started a war alot sooner. Fucking Hyde! He caused this!

FlashBack

"Take me with you please! I don't like Jack" I'm tucked into bed my big brother is leaving me he said he'd never leave me

"I wish I could Annie, the boys will be here soon. I promise to always keep an eye on you." I hear gun shots outside my door

"Where's Christian?" I plea

"He's out side, when it's time we'll come for you I promise!" he kisses my forehead

"I'll miss you Harri I love you"

"i'll miss you too folletto!" he kisses my cheek as the door flies open.

"Come on Salvato!" says a face I will always remember Christian my brothers best friend and arch enemy, he's a Grigio.

"Christian!" I call

"Oh Mia Fata! Please stay safe! I love you!" he kisses my cheek and pulls my brother out of the room. I hear more gun shots as I clutch my teddy to me. Not every 15 year old experiences this.

Our families used to be close until our family the Salvatori starting working with human trafficking that was about the time Jack the knife Hyde joined as Consigliere. He took over from my dad Ray as boss last year when my dad was shot and left for dead. Jack argues that it was Harrison I know better.

Flashback ends.

"Look Har, Jack keeps telling me you shot Papa, that your the bad guy! He told me that Papa told him to marry me! HARRI I CAN'T MARRY HYDE!"

"Seriously fuck! He's jesus okay Annie I have to talk to Christian he'll know what to do." I can here shouting outside my room

"Harri please they know i'm up to something I don't want to marry Jack please GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

"I promise Annie I'll find you!" the door bursts open as I throw the phone out of my 82nd floor bedroom window.

"Anastasia" Jack roars I feel my eyes swell.

"Talking to that rat of a brother again I take it! Get the new safe house ready we move her tomorrow!" he moves closer so he is sitting on my bed. Fuck I hope Harri finds me this time.

"No I was talking to a friend from college, I just didn't want you to scare her!" I was so lucky to get out of this life for 6 hours a day everyday for the last 3 years well until Jack became Boss he's kept me locked up. When my dad was the boss he allowed me to finish college majoring in performance i've always wanted to be a singer. I haven't played for months, god I miss Christian we share a love of the piano.

"Hmmm your such a little liar, I still can't believe your manners" Holy shit

"Please Jack, I swear! It wasn't Harrison please! Please don't move me again!" I shut my eyes tight.

"Well, we'll see about that." He pulls his trusty pocket knife from his waist band. It made him feel old school.

"Please Jack i'm not lying I swear it was Kate please!" tears are flowing down my face.

"You call me master young lady and before your my wife I will teach you how to respect me, turn around lay on the bed!" I have to do as he says or the punishment will be worse.

He pulls up my pyjama top and uses the knife to cut my bra strap. I bite hard against my pillow to muffle my screams. I can hear him unbuckle his belt. I feel it hit my skin pain flows through my body as the belt hits my skin. This isn't the first time but hopefully will be the last.

Christian POV.

I'm sitting in my office, I still haven't been able to get her face out of my head for going on 5 years. She looked scared frightened. I have tried my hardest to keep track of her, I know she went to the Manhattan school of Music. I sent my brother's wife Kate there to keep an eye. According to her she is an amazing performer. I was always busy or called away to see her shows, Elliott and Harrison were always there. I look out of the window over the bustling crowd at my club Fifties. I maybe a mob boss but I need a good cover. Fuck I miss Ana I miss her laugh her jokes. We should be married by now well maybe newlyweds. God we need to find her. We've lost her for the last 6 months; Elliott believed the worst that she was dead, but I know in my heart she's alive. I will find her!

Knocking back my scotch the door bursts open. Harrison, my brother from another mother. Well sort of we met in school we hit it off straightaway Harrison, Elliott Ethan and myself we're known as the bad boys of Midtown.

"Ciao Harri dove il fuoco?" (Hey Harri where's the fire?)

"Chris don't play Don please! It's Annie I just got off the phone with her something's going on!" I look at the pain in his face. I pull out my iphone

"Taylor get Elliott and Ethan meet me in my office!" I slam my phone against the desk Ana fuck!

"What's going on Harrison? Where's Ana?" I pour us a glass of my strongest amber.

"I was on the phone with her, we haven't talked for ages, not since my Dad died, she told me Jack is in charge and that she as to marry him. They moved her to a new place today so she should be there for a few hours. She wants out, we have to go now we have to get her. She's tried but has been caught a bunch of times Fuck Chris she's my baby sister apart from me the last Salvatori! She was crying down the phone when I heard shouting and a crash the phone went dead just after that!" Harrison has is head in his hands

"Fuck, is she I mean is Ana okay?" he shakes his head

"I dunno! Please Chris she's my folletto ( my pixie) she's all alone without my dad there god knows what's been happening! She didn't even know that my dad was dead. Fuck I didn't even know where she was until now! We should have got her out before when we had the chance" I feel sick to my stomach. Elliot Ethan and Taylor walk into my office.

" Harri dude!"Elliott loves Harri like another brother we all do. In junior year we took a blood oath to look after each other's backs hence helping him escape his family. I wish we had taken Ana but at that time it would have started a war. Ray always thought Harri would return and become Boss, that him leaving was just a phase. Truth be told he didn't want to be dictated to by the Consigliere any more Jack fucking Hyde. The pain in my side the jack ass that has sold us out to the feds more times than I can count. Harri explains again about Ana. Hyde didn't like the fact that Harri was gay don't get me wrong I'm not down with that sort of thing but if it makes him happy fine. He is still the biggest bad ass this side of the Hudson and can shoot a target from 100 meters away. He's the perfect sniper. I can't believe I may get to see Ana today.

"Please i'll do anything just bring my baby sister home." Ethan fires up his Ipad.

"Do you know where she is?" Ethan types her name into a search.

"I tracked her cell while she was talking to me it's Apartment 4017, 438, 57th and 10th."

"Hells kitchen boss!" Elliot cracks his knuckles. "So how are we going to do this?" he laughs he's a fucking sadist.

"How about we send Kate in?" Taylor offers

"Fuck you! Chris you're not sending my wife into the snake pit she's got Noah!" Fuck my Nephew

"Ok, Ok I understand!" I wish I could go in myself but it will be like painting a target on our family.

"I'll do it!" Harrison offers. "I'll go and offer an exchange then you guys come in and hopefully save us?" Not a chance in hell.

"Harrison, no they'll shoot you between the eyes even before you open your mouth, Taylor do you still have that contact at city maintenance?"

"Yes, I can ask Frank to send over the paper work to allow us entry!"

"Good, Eth you up for getting your head out of your server room and out into the field."

"Oh course Chris! I haven't had a chance to try Betsey out yet!" Only my brother in law would name a gun Betsey.

"That's settled, Harri you'll be stationed in the van outside I'll come along too." I pull my eagle from my desk.

Ana POV.

Apart from the pain, the worst part of the beats Jack gives me is that I can't sit down apart from in the bath.

I'm lying on the bed sobbing into the teddy Christian won for me at Coney Island. I hear the front door slam shut. I can finally relax, Jack and the crew have left i'm actually hoping he gets shot.

I'm going to try and leave again I have to. I grab my duffle bag and throw all my prized possession. Photos of me my mom, dad and Harrison, i'm a baby it was just before my mom died in a car crash. My dad's pocket watch, the teddy Christian gave me and my first edition Thomas Hardy that belonged to my Nona. I was 15 when Harri left, and in the last year Jack has moved me around New York and I have lost loads but these I have always been able to hold on to.

Jack took my laptop and phone away hell he has taken my life away in the last 6 months. I'm getting ready to sneak out when the buzzer goes. I duck back into my bedroom and wait. I peak through the opening. Enzo my 'bodyguard' opens the door. I see a face I sort of remember.

"Yes!" he snarls

"City maintenance we have a permit to look over the building we have had comp..." BANG! Enzo falls back.

"Ana?!" the tall handsome maintenance worker calls. Can I trust him? Anywhere is better than here.

"I'm here!" I call opening my door.

"I'm Ethan remember me? Harri's friend?" Ethan,Ethan, fuck Kate's brother.

"Yes I do where's my brother.!" I call

"Look I haven't got much time. Can you grab your things so we can correre!" I smile

"He came for me?"

"We all did dolce! Come on hurry!" He follows me into my bedroom.

"You stay here?"he looks around my room it might as well be a closet. There is a mattress on the floor looking around I feel ashamed.

"I'm sorry, Jack mad..."

"It's fine, is this everything?" he throws his bag over his shoulder.

"Yep." I try and put the only shoes I own sandals in the middle of fall.

"Here, I take it you remember how to use this!" he passes me a weapon as I nod my papa gave me a gun for my 10th birthday.

We make our way out into the hall and out of the front door. One of Jacks men comes out of the elevator. I take him down over Ethan's shoulder

"Nice hit! Come your brother is out side." The elevator ride takes forever, it opens at the entrance it's so cold. I haven't left the apartment in a month. I follow Ethan to a delivery van he opens the back and I'm pulled in by huge arms.

"Annie!" oh my god! I start crying not because he is hugging me and pressing the cuts on my back but i'm free.

"Harrison! Please tell me it's real!" I sob.

"Yes folletto, it is!" I hold him close as the van speeds into the city.

"Ana, are you okay?" I look over to the copper haired man I will always remember

"Christian?" I grin

"You remember me?" I cocks his head

"Yes I do you goofball! Hi Elliott." I look to Christian's right.

"Annie, what are you wearing!" Christian points. I look down i'm wearing my flannel pyjama bottoms a College Tshirt and flip flops.

"Urm I can..."

"Where here boss!" The driver calls.

"Ana, put this on it's freezing out!" Christian gives me his coat. Harrison pulls me into his arms and carries me in to a tall apartment building.

"Where are we?"

"Tribecca, we all live here!" Harrison kisses my hair.

We walk into a huge building. I huddle into Harrisons arms as we make our way to the elevator and Christian punches in a code. We travel all the way to the pent house.

"The penthouse seriously Christian!"

"What did you expect!" he laughs god it feels like old times, all my big brothers and my Tesoro.

"nothing less, do you all live here? Like a dorm?" I ask

"I live her, Harrison lives in the adjoining penthouse. Elliott has a place over by my parents." Christian explains the view of New York is amazing.

Harrison places me on the floor and brushes my back I screw my face up, I didn't have time to bandage my back.

"Fuck!" I mutter.

"Annie what's wrong." I pull the coat tighter.

"Nothing, i'm fine." I try and look fine.

"No you're not Ana you suck at lying" he pulls his coat off me

"It's nothing Harri, honest." I wince as he walks towards him.

"Ana show me." I look at Harrison.

"Not here can we go somewhere private? Just you and Christian please Harri." Harri leads me to a downstairs bedroom.

"Now Ana show me." I turn around and pull my tshirt up

"FUCK ANA! JESUS FUCKING! WHO DID THIS!" Harrison is screaming

"Fuck Ana are you okay?" Christian reaches and pulls me close as Elliott storms in I turn around and look at their faces. Harri has his gun out rubbing it against his head.

"Harri put you piece down please!" Elliot holds his arm

"My sister, that's my baby sister. I should have FUCK who did this! Huh Annie who Hyde! That Fucker He's dead! Beyond dead!" Harrison runs out of the room with Elliott on his tail

"I knew I shouldn't have shown you!" I wipe my tears away

"Ana, who. I mean why?!" Christian pulls me close

"Jack, he wanted to teach me manners!" I feel a surge of electricity as I hold him close.

"Fuck Ana, how long has this gone on for?" he kisses my head

"A while." He holds me tight. God I missed him. He pulls away, but I can tell he's been crying.

"Right here this is your room, i'll bring your bag in. Go shower i'll get you some clean clothes."

"Thank you Christian!" I kiss his cheek.

"My pleasure, I will also call my mom she can come have a look at your back!" I grimace

"Don't worry, you can trust her." He closes the door.

"I know I can. Thank you Christian I knew you would find me!
