The Mafia & The Queen Bee

Chapter 5: Learn How To Defend Yourself

"Yeah, I'm not doing this." I smiled at Thea, crossing my arms.

There was no way in hell that I was taking a gym class now with this girl when I managed to avoid it at school for four years!

She rolled her eyes at me as she started doing her stretching exercises.

"If I were you, I would start stretching because you're gonna have to do this." Thea told me.

"There is no way that I'll even consider doing this shit!" I told her honestly.

"Then there is no way that I'm letting you be on the team." I heard the one and only, Archer's voice speaking from behind me.

I turned around to see him in a tight black T-shirt and black shorts.

He's hot!

Even if he's an ass, I cannot help but appreciate his well built form.

"I am not dying to be on your team either. The work you have me doing is going to make me die out of boredom!" I rolled my eyes.

After checking for errors on the file, they just told me to search about some weird places, people and other stuff like the locations of their enemies.

I almost died out of boredom.

It was horrible!

"It's either this or actual death." He replied. "You know too much about us for me to just let you go now." He added, glancing at me.

Woah!

Hold on a second!

"What the actual fuck?!" I exclaimed.

"Either you learn how to defend yourself and become a real member of my team or you die." He shrugged, not even turning to look at me.

What?!

"This is not what I signed up for!" I roared.

Archer sharply turned to face me. He walked up to me with a clenched jaw and leaned so that his face was close to mine.

"This is exactly what you signed up for!" He spoke through gritted teeth. "So suck it up or die. The choice is yours." He added in a low voice.

I took deep breaths through my nose, trying to make myself calm down.

In situations like these, the queen bitch that I've been for the past four years comes out and the logical side of mine goes to sleep.

But I couldn't let that happen here.

Even though I seriously doubted their connections with the underworld, I've seen them murdering people in cold blood.

They are dangerous.

And I need to remember that. Purely for my own survival.

I cannot afford to be on their bad side. God only knows what these people are capable of!

Note to self: Do in depth research about all of them as soon as possible!

"I hate you!" I spoke in a low voice as I took a few steps back to create distance between the tall handsome pillar of muscles and myself.

"The feeling is mutual." He sneered back.

I rolled my eyes as I turned back to Thea whose face now showed no emotions.

It was like she had somehow found a way to turn off all the emotions and now was just a machine.

A killing machine...
