Vincent's POV

It's been a little over two weeks since Alina went missing and nothing seems right.

No one is doing good. No one. Everybody is hurt.

A few days ago her grandpa had received a video of Alina being tortured. It was so terrifying. Most of us screamed and cried.

She was too. She was hurt. They were brutal. Her screams haunted us.

The Italian Mafia was helping us. They had their spies in the Greek Mafia who told us that they aren't involved in Alina's kidnapping.

All of us were now sitting in the Don's office. All dejected.

"We've got an anonymous message. Looks like it's from Alina." Someone said while barging into the room.

All of us perked up like watchdogs.

He quickly puts it up on a laptop and we all gather around it.

"It's in codes." Joseph said.

"Let's work." I said while looking at it.

Joseph and I work on the codes.

It says "Hey lovely people, it is me Alina. I am safe and alive. I have a plan and you all will get to know about it in a few days. Just wait patiently. I miss you and I love you all. Better be ready with my birthday gifts.
-Alina Violet Walker"

I spoke and chuckled towards the end. That's such an Alina thing. Everybody in the room had a smile and hope in their eyes. I finally felt a bit better.

A few days later

"We have an incoming call." Someone barged into the living room of our house.

"From?" Dad asks him.

"He refuses to talk to anyone but you, Sir Vincent or the Walker's but we traced the call. It's from Greece." The man said quickly while trying to catch his breath.

Without a word we all run to the technical room.

He motioned for someone to put the call on speaker.

"Alexander King." Dad stated authoritatively.

"Well, hello to the British Mafia and Alina's brothers. I have made this call to discuss Alina's escape plan. Technically we have to make one." He chuckled towards the end.

"How do we believe you?" Dad asks him.

"Rose rose to put rose roes on her rows of roses." He said robotically.

"That's our code." I muttered and everybody nodded.

"Okay we believe you. Go ahead."

"First of all I would like to tell you so the reason we are helping her. 1.5 years ago she and her three friends freed us from human trafficking and we are grateful for that. Secondly she is on a island near Greece. Thirdly her mother and the youngest Velentzas, Ares Velentzas, are the captors. Fourthly if we don't act fast you will lose her. Fifthly Ares plans on killing her mother and getting his son married to Alina. That's all." He finished.

I so badly wanted to break something. Married? Fuck off. Only I have that right.

"Did Alina say something?" Andrew asks him.

"Yes we have made the plan you'll need to follow. Majority of the guards and the masterminds themselves will be gone for the Christmas Eve. One of us three will be the incharge for that whole week. On the night of Eve we will help her sneak out and you can take her away from there." He said.

"But the thing is they are keeping tabs on you so even a little movement may cost Alina's life." He added.

"I'm sure she has said more." Dad says with a small smile. Of course his non-biological daughter she is, he expects the best from her.

"Yes. Only family shall come to take her and get one of your allies to attack them the next morning." He said.

"That does sound good." Andrew says and we all nod in agreement.

"How is Alina?" Tristan asks him.

"Alive. She said to tell you all to not worry. She misses you all."

I mentally scoff for the one word reply. Alive? Why couldn't he elaborate?

"So here's the detailed plan.... "

Christmas Eve

Alina's POV

I escape today and I hope I get out alive. I will. I know I will.

The last few days were difficult. Jensen and his friends helped me a lot. We had our 'fake' torture sessions and he would give me food. His friend, Max, got in contact with my family.

But that doesn't mean I was good. My mom along with some older dude tortured me. I don't know who he is all I know is his name. Ares. He told me how he plans to kill my mother and get me married to his son. The fucker thinks I'll be his daughter-in-law, in your dreams and plan

Today morning they gave me my early Christmas present. No words can describe it. Apart from the cuts and bruises on my body Rachel choked me bad. Very bad. I can barely speak and it hurts a lot.

It was dark and completely silent outside. All I could hear was my own breathing.

This silence was broken by the sound of footsteps. It got louder as seconds went by.

The door creaked open and Jensen walked in. "Good evening Lina." He said softly.

"Good evening Jen." I greeted him softly. I don't know if he was able to hear it.

"Wear this. We'll be leaving in a few minutes." He said while handing me a t-shirt and sweatpants. Unfortunately the sweatpants were way too big for me so I used a belt. My wounds hurt when the clothes came in contact with them.

We waited for a few minutes. After hearing three knocks on the door Jensen opened the door. Spencer peeked in. He's the third guy from the group.

"You guys can leave." He said.

Jensen nodded and stretched his hand for me to take. I took his hand and we got out of the room.

"Spencer we will be waiting." He smiled and nodded. "I'll be there soon."

No way in hell was I leaving these three here. Max was already with my family. Jen and Spencer will be going with me. I offered them place in Black Roses or Andrew's gang.

My birthday also passed. 22 December. I turned 17 and had to celebrate it with Blood, Silence, Whip, Dagger, Punch and Kick. The guests of honor were apple juice and sandwich. I had a blast with my new friends, don't you'll think so?

Although my body was in pain I pushed myself to walk. We slowly walked down the corridor and went down the stairs. As it was Christmas Eve many guards were given off and the remaining ones were with Spencer.

When we got down to the ground floor he opened the door that faced the small forest. We had a 800 meter walk ahead.

Jen had already marked our route through the trees so we were just following. Less than halfway through I was panting. I had lost considerable amount of weight and blood, my injuries made it worse.

Jen noticed this and lifted me on his arms. I mumbled a low thank you and he contined walking. I was kind of dozing off while he walked.

"Hey Lina we are almost there. Open your eyes." He said softly.

I opened my eyes and squinted them to look around. It was dark but moonlight helped. I could see a high metal net. As we neared it I saw a bunch of people there.

Of course I know who it was.

Andrew's POV

The day they got the call from Max

The plan was set. It was decided that Vincent, Joseph, Tristan and I would be going discreetly to the island near Greece. The Italian Mafia was sending over help.

Tristan and I went home to gather a small bag of necessities. At the same time I called all my brothers to tell them about this.

When I see all of them in the living room I notice how hurt all of them are. I know as an older brother I should have been for each one of them but I haven't and I'm sorry for that.

"First of all I'm sorry I haven't been there for you all for the last few days and thank you Seth for taking care of all of us." I said sincerely.

"Even I'm sorry guys." Tristan says sincerely as well.

"Don't mention it Andrew. That's what family is." Seth said with a smile.

"Moving on we've got Alina's location and Tristan and I are going to bring back Alina. Vincent and Joseph join us." I inform them.

All the heads snapped in my direction. Felix and Seth's eyes teared up.

"I am also coming." Allen said immediately.

"Even I am." Mason nodded.

"Me too." Felix joined in.

I shake my head.

"None of you is joining us. Look at yourself. You all are still injured and I'm not taking injured people with me. We need to focus on Alina and from the talks she isn't in the best condition. I want to focus on her rescue. So please stay back and prepare for her welcome. It was her birthday yesterday and she's expecting gifts from us. Prepare for that." I said calmly.

Mason had his fist over his mouth and Allen was glaring at the table. Felix and Seth were crying already.

I got up and hugged Seth. He immediately hugged me back and sobbed. I rubbed his back and looked over to Felix. I motioned him to come over to us. He got up and I embraced him as well.

Tristan was hugging Mason and Allen.

I will bring back our 7th colour, our piece, our sister.

The next morning Tristan and I hugged everyone and we're set to leave.

"Promise to bring her back." Felix said while tearing up.

I hugged him tight. "I promise."

"Most probably we won't be celebrating Christmas this year but hopefully we will celebrate New year. Prepare for a grand welcome boys. It's our baby's Birthday, Christmas, New Year and a Welcome Back." Tristan said while patting more like hitting them.
