Thank you to Guest-san for the review! And yes, I will take Squalo's overly kind nature into account…Hahaha I'll do my best.
Chapter 10: Moscio
Minerva shoved her clothes and her books into the one sport bag. She hastily zipped it up and ran to her bedroom door. The wooden door creaked quietly as Minerva hopped out of her room and sprinted through the golden hallways. Cracking thunder and unbelievably heavy rain overpowered every single sound in the mansion.
She darted down the stairs as fast as she could but suddenly stopped to a halt when she saw the man with the cigar. "Where do you think you're going, Boss?" She stepped back and dropped her bag on the ground. He chuckled quietly, "I can't believe you forgot my name, Boss."
Minerva gritted her teeth, "I don't think I want to know…." Suddenly before she knew it, the man spit out his cigar and appeared right in front of her with his hand stroking softly down her cheek. Soon it was at her chin as he flexed his finger slowly and lifted her chin up, levelling it with his.
Why can't I move?! The voice in Minerva's head screamed at her, what's going on?!
The man leaned in towards her and slowly closed his eyes as he pressed his lips gently against hers. Minerva's subconsciousness screamed at her, WHY YOU MOVE!? MOVE YOU STUPID BODY, MOVE DAMMIT MOVE! HE JUST TOOK YOUR FIRST KISS DUDE, NICE ONE MINERVA…
Her screaming subconsciousness soon faded away as Minerva's purple eyes faded into a deep indigo and lost its life. The man let go of her and whispered in her ear, "I'm your master and you must follow my every word. Your first order, call your two friends and tell them to bring their whole famiglias to Sontuoso Castle tomorrow because you want their help to save you. But you'll actually kill and obliterate them all, got it?"
"Yes, Moscio-sama," Minerva turned around and walked back up the golden stairs like a lifeless prototype moving doll. She walked up to her room and closed the door gently. Then she slowly ambled to her bed and pulled out her mobile phone, texting Dino and Squalo.
Squalo, I need help. My Dad's dead too and now my inheritance is only tomorrow at 11am in Sontuoso Castle. I can't do it but the only way for me to have my freedom is to destroy the Saggezza. So please, bring your entire famiglia and Dino's as well tomorrow and ambush them. If all fails, I become the next Saggezza boss and I'll drop out of Pace Mafia School. Worst case scenario, I'm gonna have to kill you when we're older…I'm begging you. Don't call back or they'll hear us.
Minerva turned off her phone and peacefully went to sleep.
Squalo heard the phone shake on his bedside table. His eyes slowly opened as he rubbed his fist on them and sat up on his bed, picking up the phone. The fact that Minerva sent him a message was enough to make his heart race with tension and worry. She wasn't the kind of person who'd text her best friend at midnight because of pure boredom.
His eyes widened and his jaw dropped. He frantically closed the message and typed a phone number into the cell and held it to his ear. Come on, pick up….
"Hello?" he heard a baby's voice over the phone.
"C-can I please speak to Dino, is he there?"
"Yeah, just wait a few moments."
Squalo anxiously waited for Dino to pick up the phone. He knew, he knew that Dino would be tired but…that wasn't the time for being particularly picky with time.
"Hello? Squalo? What's going on?" Dino yawned.
"Bad news, Minerva's in trouble."
"Trouble?! What's happening?!" Dino was wide awake and carefully listening.
"Tomorrow Minerva becomes Boss and that means she'll become an enemy for both of our families. She wants us to head to Sontuoso Castle tomorrow morning, the ceremony starts at 11am. She wants us to help because she wants to be free. And besides, tomorrow is her 16th birthday, they can't take away her freedom on her birthday."
"So she wants all the Cavallone and you to be there?!" Dino frowned.
"Yeah….is the Arcobaleno gonna let you do it?" Squalo asked.
"I hope so…I don't wanna be Minerva's enemy."
"Then I suggest that you ask his permission right. Now. I'll see you tomorrow then," Squalo hung up the phone and left Dino alone with his heart humping and his head hurting.
