He held her close as the bullets began to fire, crouching under a poker table. They had only just got there and violence was already happening. His eyes dart across the room, trying to pick up where Mona might be. There. Finding her he noticed someone with her, Romeo... He couldn't let them get hurt, he was Lovi's family. "Bella stay right her, I'm going to go try pull Mona and Romeo away from the gunfire." He noticed how pale her face was, how she didn't seem to be listening. His gentle eyes suck into hers. "You are going to need to shoot, you understand me?" An uncertain nod came from her, almost trying to see who the man in front of her was.

Trying to ease her, he tenderly strokes her cheek, only to be interrupted by someone shooting their side and he shoots them down. She trembled, watching this man she loved kill with so much ease. This wasn't the Antonio she knew. "Y-You get to them..." She gulped hard, staring at her gun as she loaded it. More of the aggressors by this time had spotted them, trying to shoot them down. He grasped her hand one more time before beginning to run.

He ran as fast as he could, trying to avoid the bullet. Something bit into his leg; a cat biting hard into at mouse. It didn't faze him though, all he wanted was to get Mona and Romeo somewhere safe. At last, he got to their table, immediately noticing Mona's ring on her finger and how close they are to one another. "Antonio, we called Lovi and Feli but I don't know if they'll get here in time."Romeo's normally calm voice was replaced with a haggered one. He pulls Antonio to the side, still avoiding the bullets. "You need to make sure Mona gets out alright, promise me?"

"I promise." A little smile perked onto his face, the passion in his voice reminding him of his love for Lovi. The bullets rattled around them as it became increasingly obvious that they needed to get out. "Do you have a gun? We could take down most of them." His smile turned into a playful one, starting to come into his element.

Romeo rolls his eyes, grinning to Antonio, boys with their toys. "Of course I do." Leaning on the floor he shoots down the nearest guy, then shoots the one next to him. Antonio shoots the other side, taking down three more with three bullets. There were so many of them yet it seemed luck was on their side. Crouching as he begins to move, he glances up to see more of them coming their way, shooting them down. There is a roar of bullets from another side and he catches sight of Lovino. Bullets shower them from overhead as the cats use the height to their advantage.

Romeo climbs up a side bit, getting to the height of them, shooting them down. A body falls down, almost hitting Antonio, he checks it, breathing a sigh of relief when it isn't Romeo. The words 'bastard' and 'idiot' are yelled through the air and he instinctively knows that Lovi is having a great time. His eyes glance over to Mona who is now beginning to shoot after grabbing a gun from the guy that fell near to them. "Mona, there's a fire exit over there. I'm going to-" There is an ear piercing scream, one which he recognises as Bella's. "Bella!"

He glances desperately between them, not knowing who to protect. The last of the gang members are quickly pulling away as they have got what they came for. Where was Lovi? They hadn't got him too? "Lovi! Lovi! Where are you?" Crawling under the tables he begins to make his way to where he last saw him, his heart races at the thought of losing. Mona completely falls from his mind, knowing all too well she can look after herself. "Bella! Lovi!" The tears begin to trickle down his face, his heart telling him that something happened.

There is more screaming, "Toni! Toni! Help me!" He can't though, if he does he will get shot but he needs to do something. Trying to get an idea for where they are, he pops his head up slightly to see Bella being pulled away. Her face is red from crying and screaming. Most distinctively there is a gun to her head. That does not faze Antonio, his need to do something becoming increasingly hard to bare. He shoots, feeling another bite in his leg as someone shoots him from behind.

The man from behind reaches him, putting a gun to his head. His forehead trickles off with beads of sweat. Where was Lovi? They hadn't killed him... Had they? And what about Bella where were they taking her? There is a sharp bang as Mona shoots the man straight in the back of the head. "That's for wrecking my casino." Oh yes, this girl was a keeper and I hope Romeo realised that. His eyes fell onto the dead body, the blood trickling over the floor. It was the last sight before he slipped into unconsciousness. The screams of Bella still haunting him.
