Kapitel 1: Chapter one: Abel's Death
In the twilight...
Footsteps, heavy footsteps were heard, as the figures sprinted into the night after hearing the vehicle crash behind them.
He smirked as he held up the walkie-talkie, up to his mouth muttering the words;
' Mission accomplished boss'
Then he threw it in the opposite direction as one of his members caught it. Soon the siren of the cops were heard as they ran more faster, diverted to a dark alley and fled into the night .

Few hours later
The steady sound of the monitor was heard in the ward, as her heart beated smoothly. She shut her eyes open and glanced around, here looked so unfamiliar. But sighting the machines around, she figured out she was in a hospital. She tried to remember what brought her here as the door barged open, revealing familiar people with the doctor.
" Ey linda ( hey pretty) " A teenage girl walked up to her, and embraced her tight.
" Te extraño ( I missed you) " She added but still, she remained mute. Her elder sister, disengaged and looked into her eyes puzzled.
" Estás bien Belle? ( are you okay Belle?)". Adriana, her elder sister worriedly asked.
" Is she okay doctor?" She turned back.
" Yes she is, although, she had a mild concussion but I assure you Mrs Rodriguez your daughter will be alright".
Mrs Rodriguez, approached Belle, intending to hug her, but she stopped her short.
" Where's Abelardo?". She questioned.
They all froze, as silence swept through the air, a very uncomfortable one as it loaded the atmosphere.
" Isabella---".
" Dónde es Abelardo? ( where is Abelardo?). She asked her tone louder than before, stuttering.
" Isa--". Adriana called calmly.
" If you do not tell me now, I'll kill myself, please answer me!" She threatened, her voice falling to a whisper.
Tears clouded her mother's eyes, as she sighed unable to find her words.
" Isabella-- he's--- ABELARDO'S GONE!!". She spilled the beans, as fresh tears bursted out of Adriana's blood-shot eyes, listening to her mother's words.
" I'm so sorry Miss Amethyst but he passed away, while going through the surgery, he couldn't make it!". Their family doctor, Mrs Sofia said sadly.
' He couldn't make it' , she recalled those words, as it flashed through her mind over and over again. She have never dreamt of hearing them, but look how fate, had brought her to this point. She had watched it a billion times in movies, but never in her wildest imaginations, did she expect hearing it in real life!.
Suddenly, she begun shaking violently, screaming and flinging the sheets away, and as her movements went on, the needle connected to her hand pulled off, blood slowly dripping off.
She flung herself around, rolling uncontrollably on the ground, screaming louder as foam gushed out of her mouth. Everyone were startled, and as her mom tried reaching for her hand, she hit her unknowingly. With the help of other doctors and nurses, she was held down and, injected with a sedative liquid.

~ Velvet Vipers ~
He made his way in, and after slightly bowing he sat, given approval.
" Buenas noches Padre ( good evening father)"
The old man, Don Emilano, sat sipping a red wine as he dropped it down, cleared his throat and begun.
" Diablo, congratulations on the job well done, and an accomplished mission" He stretched his hand, as they firmly shook their hands.
" Gracias Padre ( thank you Father) , for giving me an opportuned moment like this". He smiled, revealing a bit of diastema, in between his side tooth ( one gold one white)
" That reminds me, l called you here to speak to you about an important issue". He breath in and continued.
" As the head of this clan, I am very much pleased to have a grown son like you, an heir to this family legacy. But on the other hand, something seems to be troubling me every now and then". He paused and glanced at his son's confused face, as he sighed expecting the reaction, then continued.
" Aside Velvet Vipers, one of the most known and successful Mafia clan, we have one very powerful famous one --- Ivory Enforcers. They are coming up as one of the top three, and you know how competitions like this are handled. We will have to hunt them down, and probably eliminate the boss and his family, leaving no stones unturned"
The middle aged man sighed. Don Emilano was in his middle fifties, a wealthy and influencial business man. He was known as ' Uber billionaire' and had a very cunning way of business.
Velvet Vipers, as it was popularly known by the Crime Lords, was a very successful Mafia clan in Barcelona.
It was known for bonded relationships among the members, and the boss and family. Among all other things, they were feared for their cruel, brutal and blood thirsty nature. No victim stepped in and went out alive, no missions were left unaccomplished. VELVET VIPERS was as cruel and powerful as it's name, giving off a dominant vibe.
The members, all resided, in a huge magnificent estate filled with large tall glass mansions ( a few of them) in the main compound, where the mafia boss, his family and a few of their closest associates and members resided in.
" Alright father, we'll comply as opportunities to do so, comes by, meanwhile buenas noches father ( good night) " Diablo slightly bowed and exited.
THE HOSPITAL --- By 10pm
Adriana and Mrs Camila Rodriguez rushed towards Doc Sofia, as she stepped out of the theatre.
" How's she?" Mrs Cam sighed
" She's okay, for now at least, but then, she developed epilepsy at that moment. Epilepsy can be caused as a result of trauma to the brain or brain injury, aside its other causes. So it's obvious that the sudden death of her twin, caused the unamountable shock, although epilepsy can also be caused due to unknown reasons, sometimes. So I'm not a hundred percent sure of what caused it, but I can assure you she's fine, at least for now". Doc Sofia, carefully said her words, watching the reaction of the both of them.
" So what are we to do now?" Adriana asked.
" Just make sure she's on a healthy diet, and don't let any form of bad news get to her".
" Alright, can we go see her?". Adriana asked.
" Sí , pero por favor no la estreses ( Yes, but please don't stress her)".
" Estás bien lo haremos ( alright, we will)". She ( Sara) concluded as they followed Doc Sofia to the private ward.
" Nos vemos luego ( see you later) ". She ( Doc Sofia) said and left them to be alone.
" Hey carinó ( hey darling) ¿ Cómo estàs? ( How are you?)" Sara asked.
No response. Sara smiled sadly and approached her, then pecked her vanilla scented hair, giving her a warm embrace.
" ¿ Cómo estàs, estìmado? ( How are you my dear?)". Mrs Cam smiled and hugged her daughter's petite body.
Still, Isabella didn't reply, but it was obvious, she was awake, as she blinked rapidly looking around. The puzzled daughter and mother, stared at each other, then back to her. The door flung open, gently as Doc Sofia walked in. She paused in her tracks, noticing the look on their faces.
" Is everything alright Mrs Rodriguez?".
" It is, but then she's not responding"
" Maybe it's still the shock, but it's not something serious. I wanted to remind you of the symptoms. It sprang up, and we've treated it. But please if more symptoms comes up, don't fail to bring her over. She'll be discharged soon, as soon as her health gets better".
" Alright Doc Soph, we'll get back tomorrow, to check on her, and we'll also transfer the money right now, for the surgery okay?".
Mrs Camila sighed taking off her glasses.
" Yes madam!".
* * *
Isabella got discharged few weeks later, but as weeks advanced into months, she grew more withdrew than ever, pulled herself from the outside world and mourned Abelardo's death. Her parents decided to bury him, later at least when she'll be strong....
" And, there you're done Belle". Sara smiled as she put on an expensive black and gold hair bow on Isabella's hair. ' Today's finally the day'. She ( Amethyst ) thought.' When my twin will be layed six feet below the ground'. She sighed as a tear escaped her eyes. She couldn't even believe Abelardo, her twin and best friend for fifteen years was gone, just like that. She'll never get to see him, wish him happy birthdays, and and give him birthday cards AGAIN!! fate just whipped him off!.
Meanwhile Sara sadly smiled, looking at her baby sister's beautiful face. She also couldn't believe, her junior brother ( she's older than with three years) just disappeared from the face of the Earth.
She brushed down the white patch on her sister's hair. It was natural and has been part of her, for fifteen years now, that's exactly her whole life. She got the genetic condition from her mother and it caused a bit difficulty for her. Waarden Burg syndrome, as it was often described, was a genetic condition, that just needed to be passed down from one parent, for a child to have it, and it was only Belle that had that condition. The symptoms that were present in her were distinctive hair coloring ( white patch) , deafness, heterochromia ( eye colors that don't match), pale skin color, difficulty completely straightening joints, and possible slight decrease in intellectual function, ' so much to bear', she ( Sara) always thought and felt pity for her sister who was going through alot.
As for Amethyst, she had a pale coloured skin, long thick black hair, that had a patch of white in it, deafness and heterochromia. She had two colors of eyes, each half blue and green, and then for deafness, she made use of hearing aids, that were placed inside her ears. And for the more effective part, she wasn't that bright ( in intellectual function) but nevertheless, Amethyst, was always the Amethyst she was known for; beautiful despite the odds, calm and somewhat jovial and then kind. But then, fate took a 360° turn, snatching her best friend and brother away from her, characters and personalities upside down. But although, she wasn't mean, just withdrawn.
" You're ready now, Belle it's time to go, we're gonna be late for the ceremony". Sara said and came to squat infront of her, then scooped her cheeks, in her palms.
" Look Belle, it's okay, it's quite unfortunate Abelardo's gone, but trust me, you'll still scale through. I mean look at you, you have reduced in your size, and you're getting.... thinner". She shrugged and then Amethyst bursted into tears all over again, wetting the tip of her dress.
" I didn't mean to sound like that Isa, I'm so sorry". She hugged her tight, but she ( Isa) kept mute, not muttering a word to Sara, or her parents, even at the ceremony. She cried the most, not even uttering a single word to anybody.
When it time to see Abelardo's body last before he was buried, she dropped a pedal of his favorite flower ' blue bells' , a bar of chocolate ( that were his faves) and then lastly a note that read;
💞 Till we meet again,
Until then, good bye Lardo 💞
Then she was taken away by her mum, who couldn't keep watching her daughter that way. Her mother hugged her but she didn't return it, just soak her mother's dress with tears, then cried herself to sleep.
~ FEW WEEKS LATER ~
Amethyst layed on her bed doing nothing but staring at the ceiling, her usual routine for weeks now. Just then, she turned to his photo and let a tear drop down as... the door forcefully flew open as Sara walked in.
" Oh come on Amethyst, snap out of it. Abel's gone and there's nothing we can do, he's gone okay, he's dead. It's in the past, ABELARDO IS DEAD, and he's not coming back. Why can't you just accept fate when it comes the way it does. For weeks, now you haven't muttered a word to anyone not even me, your sister. Estás bien? ( Are you okay? )". She sighed and squated infront of her sister.
" Okay, you're not okay, look I'm miserable without you, I mean the normal you, I can't bear it any longer, please talk to me". She looked into Isa's eyes. ' Those unique features' she thought. Even though she was frustrated, she never stopped loving her sister, she was all she had, and she knew Amethyst would have talked if she wanted to.....
Then what exactly was going on?.....
Amethyst would never avoid Sara no matter what, she looked like she wanted to talk, but couldn't and that's what made her totally confused.
" Belle," She called softly but she didn't turn, as she got to her front and looked at her.
" Can you hear me?". She asked
Amethyst stared at Riana, it looked like she was just moving her lips, no sound coming out. Then Sara checked her ears and confirmed it. Her hearing aids were missing!
She searched around but couldn't find it anywhere. But as she looked around, she sighted them by Abel's picture frame. She took them and placed it on her ears then looked at her, using her ( Belle ) hair to conceal them.
" Belle, don't take them off!". She said and left.
Velvet Vipers
Unlocking the door to the 'dark den' , Diablo made his way in. He shut it, looking at their victims kept in bondage, some for weeks, some for months now. He then sighted a brunette then walked up to her, and squated infront of her.
" Palmira!". He called as his deep baritone voice, sunk into her, sending shivers down her spine, as she slightly retreated.
She couldn't reply, just groan due to excessive pains all over her body.
" Just kill me Diablo, kill me, I'm sick of living like this. But trust me you'll pay for it..." She muttered as he let out a slightly smirk.
" And who's gonna make me pay, you?, like this, groaning like you've been fucked from the day you started existing. Just have it in mind, you can never mess with me, and go fuckingly Scott free, you can never, go through the' dark den' alive trust me". He scoffed then turned to her.
" Any last words?". He kept a straight devil--may--care look as he got hold of something.
" Sí" she muttered.
" Y eso es? ( and that is?)"
" VETE A LA MIERDA!!! ( FUCK YOU!!!)". She spat
" Perra!!( Bitch!!)". He cursed beneath his breath, pulled out his knife, and plunged it into her heart ignoring her shriek screams, pulled it out and stabbed her over and over again, as the knife drawed out blood, that spilled on his forehead. By the time he was done, she layed lifeless on the ground, in her own blood and his hand, was covered in dark crimson coloured blood. He stood up, slightly panting and turned to one of the guards that stood by watching the cruel murder take place. He flung the knife away then turned to one of them.
" Acabar con su cuerpo, ( do away with her body), estoy fuera de aquí ( I'm out of here)". He growled and exited.

Grand Hyatt, Barcelona
Two hours after that callous act, Diablo layed in bed in a hotel, as a knock was heard. He sighed and turned the other way.
" Come in!". Then one of the hotel house keepers, Savannah walked in and slightly bowed.
" Señor Diablo, Miss Isla is here, can I let her in?".
" Sí". He responded calmly as she bowed slightly and left.
Isla the diva, he thought. She's a very famous singer here in Barcelona, and every guy literally drools over her beauty.
' Well every guy, except him, he's not so low and shallow' he thought.
She barged in and approached him.
" And you forgot how to knock, have you gone mad??". He barked irritatedly.
" I'm sorry, Diablo, come on, don't behave that way to your client". She pouted and sat next to him on the bed. She caressed his chest. He was in his night wears already, and his shirt was left open, just the first three buttons. As she caressed his chest, he slightly moaned feeling his lower member go stiff for a moment.
Suddenly, he grabbed her hair from behind, exposing her neck, as he attached his lips to her exposed skin just below her ear. He sucked on it for some while, Isla moaning in his ears deliberately taking off his shirt. She reached for his pants, about letting her hand in when he held it firmly and pulled out of her.
" Don't you dare!". He warned, pushing her to the bed and forcefully ripped off her clothes, as he smirked at her nude figure.
" I won't take it easy with you Isla, just take note". He said as she shivered.
Never has he uttered a word like this, and the tone of his, made the matter worse.
And he was right, he took it out forcefully, and ruthlessly on her ignoring her screaming his name. He inwardly smiled. ' Look at this slut, begging me to stop what she asked for'.
' He's been longing to fuck someone for weeks now and never, was he gonna take it easy, just like that'. He thought further, as he fucked her, on and on.
* * *
Two hours after, he freshened up and then stared at the unconcious figure sprawled on the bed. Everywhere was messed up, both in the smell, and in the look. He walked out of the room and turned to one of the maids ( hotel attendants )
" Go tidy up the room!".
* * *
Back to the clan
He left to the bar and got hold of an alcohol, gulping it's content down, like a maniac. Soon after and almost concluding with the fourth bottle, he began seeing double.
" Sir your father---".
" Vaya por favor, vete a la mierda ( Oh please, fuck off!)". He muttered and groaned feeling dizzy.
After several attempts failed to get Diablo, his father Don Emilano himself, stormed into the family's private bar.
" HOLY PIECE OF SHIT!!". He cursed. " What the mess are you getting yourself into?. For heaven's sake you're my only son Diablo, why can't you act, responsible for once----".
" Responsible you say?". He scoffed turning to his hair swayed.
" You're just twenty two----".
" Just twenty two? I'm not just twenty two, I AM twenty two dad".
" Well you, don't just b top be act matured enough, you're embarrassing me Diablo , how long do i have to speak sense into you . Over drinking is not good for your health----".
" Oh, you're talking about health now, vaya por favor! You smoke out your lungs with all type of illegal drugs, not even giving a damn fuck on your health. So please, don't lecture me on this again,".
" Diablo----".
" Got to pee, buenas noches ( good night )"
He muttered and staggered away, as he ( Don Emilano) deeply sighed.
~ THE RODRIGUEZ'S RESIDENCE~
Few Weeks Later
It was on a Monday morning the first day of school and still that moody attitude of Isa, hadn't changed, which got Adriana frustrated. Worst part, recently, her parents were so busy with work they didn't have time to notice anything. Even now, they were both on business trip.
Adriana barged into her room to find her lying on the bed. Still mute.
' Something's wrong somewhere'
She thought as she approached her then helped prepare her bath water. They had maids for that, but in things concerning Amethyst, she did them herself.
She brought out her uniform and helped her put it on. It was a black knee--lenght skirt, then a long sleeved red buttoned dress shirt. She pulled out her black Chunk heels from her gold shoe rack, then her red bag pack. She packed her hair into a pony tail and then looked around.....
" Hey snail, still munching on her cheesy sandwich, we're gonna be late for school, and then probably miss our first classes. Eat up Isa!". Abel's words came flashing in her head as she smiled sadly. He was a school freak and always loved going to school. But as for Amethyst, she didn't really like it, coz she wasn't as bright as he was, but Abel always made her feel welcomed.
She smiled sadly as Amethyst hugged her tight, as if gripping for support.
" It's gonna be alright very soon, querida ( darling )".
