Red Lipstick and Six Feet Under
Whey you get involved with the mafia you generally only have two choices and those two choices don't leave room for disloyalty or failure. Getting into the "family" as it was means only one thing, you are committed and any attempt to leave means death. There is no other chance of escape, especially with the Brunelli family. Godfather Brunelli was a strict old man who felt that everyone under him was worth less than a bag of dirt. His only weakness was his only daughter Darla; everyone called her Decadent Darla for one very good reason. Darla had a knack for catching the attention of men. No lie is hidden there, with her blonde locks flowing down to her lower back and her bright hazel eyes showing waves of emotion yet holding something back, she was a trophy to men and a center of jealousy among women. Darla was tall and thin with china doll skin. Always perfect and never failing, her smile could out shine the sun. Perfect in every sense except one, she could kill a man faster than he would be able to take in her full beauty. Now Darla was also blessed with knowledge, she was smart, witty and charming and always thinks things through before a bullet was fired from her gun. Darla was a hit man for her father and of course always caught her prey. No one could compare to her, except one, Nina Delucci.
Nina was a different sort of girl, very quiet and yet deadly all the same. She was as pretty as Darla but could never hold up to the attention that Darla received. Darla played the piano while Nina the violin, both accomplished in their pursuits. The trouble with Nina was that she hid her true self behind a mask of poise and anger. Her brown curls would shine in the sun and her blue eyes would always hold passion but never a truth. Her skin the shade of caramel and her voice soft yet demands a certain respect. Nina held wit, sarcasm and charms as high as her head when she walks. Knowledge doesn't escape her yet she keeps to her self. Her tall thin body always shows strength and a certain something; no one knows of course what that something is. She didn't escape men's attention yet their attention was lost as Darla strode past. Nina, a shy girl, was never bothered by this and never would be. She like Darla was quick with a gun and even quicker with a blade, always having one on her person in case of a problem.
These two girls were the best of the best and always held such a high reputation. Partners in crime and yet they would never work with any other. Such beauty could never escape a man even when they were holding a gun in his face, until that fateful day in June.
Now you may be thinking that this is just another morbid story about death and fate but you would be mistaken. The main basis of this story is romance and how it can change even the most hardened of criminals. Now these girls were solid in what they believed until Jack and Johnny came into their lives. Brothers of the same Irish family and were uncontrolled in their tempers and mouths. Johnny was a strong man and always joking. You could never tell if he was serious or just yanking your chain. He had brown curls and dark brown eyes that could melt any girl by looking at her. He knew that he held that amount of power on women yet he didn't care. He was sweet enough but felt that women were too easy to control and therefore were only there to amuse him. He was tall and muscular and looked like a bear when a smaller man stood next to him. He had a charm about him and was easily drawn to women. Jack on the other hand was smaller by only a few inches, less muscular but faster than Johnny could ever hope to be. He had straighter brown hair and big blue eyes that caught women's attention but he was bored with them. He never wanted to waste his time on some street whore who was only looking for a good bang. He had a smile that could charm a woman if that is, she ever saw it. He kept to himself but was a prankster none the less. He liked to toy with the women that found him attractive. Sweet nothings were his weapon of choice. Now Jack and Johnny drank, partied and fell into Brunelli's path, and that is where their troubles started. The Godfather invited these two young gents and their respected parents to a ball celebrating Darla's 23rd birthday and there is where these two men were introduced to their fates.
