The Hunt Begins

"Get ready Naomi, Shit is about to get real." she smirked "Shit got real when I joined the Mafia, this is nothing." A grin appeared on my face and I peeked through the curtains of my bedroom window. "There's an estimated amount of 20 Guys outside, they're all walking inside now." I glanced at the bomb and saw the time was now at 4:32, 4:31, 4:30 "Alright Naomi." I walked over to her and placed a gun in her hand "I'll protect you, but I won't promise that I'll be good at it. I have to protect myself as well. So you may have to use this gun." she nodded and our hands touched for a split second "Alright ginger let's go." she glared at me "Don't call me Ginger. Ever." I laughed and opened the window, the time on the bomb was now 1:02, I could hear footsteps coming up the stairs and jumped out the window, falling on the grass, before I could even get up, Naomi jumped out the window and fell on top of me "OW!" I shouted, she got up quickly "Sorry...."

I stood up and grabbed her arm as we ran down the street. Not to long after that, we came across Rose Club, a bar where criminals usually hang out. It was risky but I knew a guy who could help me out, we hid close to the door and a guy and a girl walked out the bar and in our direction. They both were wearing black hoods, I glanced at Naomi and she seemed to know exactly what I was thinking. I think I'm beginning to like her style, we snuck up behind them and knocked them out with a punch, taking their hoods off and hiding their bodies in a nearby alley.

We walked in quietly and Naomi followed me as I walked to the counter and smirked at the familiar face who immediately recognized me even with the hood on "Hey Uncle." I said, Naomi looked at me in shock and I laughed on the inside. My Uncle patted me on the back "LONG TIME NO SEE YA LITTLE RASCAL! I HOPE YOU HAVEN'T BEEN GETTING YOURSELF INTO TROUBLE!" I elbowed him in the stomach "Stop messing around old man, I need a room for the night." He looked at me blankly and then glanced at the girl behind me.

I sighed as a smirk appeared on his face "OOH I see what's going on here. Since it's for this particular reason I'll let you off easy and give you TWO a room for free." I smacked him in the back of his head "It's not what you're thinking you Pervert. The Mafia knows where I live so I can't stay home and they're after Ginger over here so she needs to stay with me." I could feel Naomi glaring at me, My Uncle grabbed me by the arm and guided me to a room behind the counter with Naomi following close behind.

"Ramon. I thought I told you to stop killing Mafia Members. You're only gonna get yourself killed!" I looked down at the ground "My name is Raven now and I'm not gonna stop killing Members of the Mafia until all of them are rotting in Hell!" I received a smack to my face and then a kick in my stomach, causing me to fall to the floor and cough up blood "Stop it!" I heard Naomi shout and felt her arms around me. "Ramon, I already lost my sister, my brother in law, and one of my nephews. I don't want to lose you too. I'm not gonna try to stop you, cause I know you're doing this for your family. But you're blinded by rage, if that keeps up, you'll die in the process." he turned and headed towards the door "You can stay, but only for one night." I watched as he walked out the room and closed the door behind him, leaving me and Naomi alone.

"So your real name is Ramon?" she asked as she helped me up, I nodded in response and moved away from her towards the bed and sat down. "Is it ok if I call you that when we're alone?" I nodded and sent her a weak smile, she smiled in return and sat next to me. It was strange, I was starting to have this weird feeling. A feeling I haven't had or felt in 12 years, was I starting to feel something for Naomi? NO! I can't start having feelings like this! Not until I've tracked down and killed every single Mafia Member! Until then, I can't get to attached.

I felt my eyes starting to close....I must be very tired....When's the last time I actually slept? "Hey Ginger....I'm gonna take a quick nap....I'm trusting you....not to leave." I laid my head on the pillow and I felt Naomi run her fingers through my hair "I promise I won't leave." she stated, then everything went dark and I slept soundly, dreaming of a life. A life where crows became calm and gentle birds.
