The Seven Deadly Brothers

Chapter 19

A/N: Here is chapter 19 :)

Enjoy!

Elora's POV:

I open my eyes and see that I'm not in my room. I panic for a second but then remember everything that happened earlier this morning. I look around and see Enzo on his phone sitting in a chair. I start to get out of bed and Enzo notices that I'm awake.

"How do you feel?" He says, not even bothering to look up from his phone.

"Fine." I shrug my shoulders and head out of the room. I walk over to what looks like a kitchen and see the rest of my brothers already in there.

"Oh look, the princess is finally awake." Val teases me.

"And what would that make you? The ugly step-sister?" I snap back. I see the twins try not to laugh, while Val just glares at me.

"I contacted your friends." Enzo tells me.

"You what?" I say, confused.

"I contacted your friends to come here for dinner instead of our house." Enzo explained. I just nodded my head, not wanting to know how he got their numbers. I go into the kitchen and grab a kiwi. I peel and slice it and put it on a plate. Then, I go to the coffee machine and brew some coffee. Once that's all ready, I go to sit down with my brothers.

"You're eating a kiwi for breakfast?" Ric questions me.

"Yes, and a cup of coffee." I thought they were supposed to be smart or something.

Everyone just looks at me like I'm stupid and Ric stands up to get something. What is he even doing? He comes back a few minutes later with a plate. He places it in front of me and I see that it has two slices of toast and a few pieces of bacon on it.

"Eat." Is all he says. I just mentally roll my eyes and take a sip of my coffee. I tie up my hair, not wanting it to get into my food; my face now fully exposed. However, I forgot about the bruise that I had covered with my hair. I immediately remember, and pull the hair tie out of my hair, hoping that no one saw it.

I look around and no one seems to have noticed. I sigh with relief, sensing that my brothers would freak out about it for some reason.

"What's on your face?" Enzo asks me. Shit, stupid Enzo and his spidey senses.

"Nothing." I say as casually as possible. Unfortunately for me, I'm a terrible liar.

"Elora." He warns while standing up and walking up to me. He pushed my hair out of my face to reveal the bruise. Everybody goes silent.

"It's just a bruise, it'll go away in a few days." I say while shrugging, it really wasn't a big deal.

"Yes, but you need to tell us about these things Elora." Because if I tell them about a bruise, it will automatically go away?

"Yeah, okay." I take another sip of my coffee.

"And you can only drink one cup of coffee a day." He says while sitting down.

"What!" There is absolutely no way I'm letting this guy take away my coffee.

"It's unhealthy to drink so much caffeine at such a young age, it'll stop your growth." So? I've already accepted the fact that I'm going to be short for the rest of my life.

"Ugh, fine." Yeah, I'm definitely not going to follow that rule.

"When can we go back to the house?" I do not want to stay here for much longer.

"Probably only a night or two. We'll be back home before school on Monday." Ric tells me. I internally groan about starting school again. It was currently Saturday morning, which means two more days until school. I plan on avoiding my brothers as much as possible during school, and I'm sure they're going to do the same for me. At least I have Alex and Russell.

After breakfast, I go back to the room that I'm staying in. I miss my room in my brother's house. All I want to do right now is to read on the window sill. That reminds me that I still need to find a library. I head back into the kitchen and see that all of my brothers are still there. I also see that Callisto has now joined them at the table. They all turn their attention towards me once I walk in.

"Does anyone know if there's a library or something near here?" I ask.

"A library?" Marcello asks amused that I would ever want to go to one.

"Yes, a library; a place where you can check out books to read them. Something you obviously haven't done in a while." This bitch really thinks a library is funny?

"There's one a few miles from here." Ric says, amused by our bickering.

"Thanks. I'll be back later." I tell them. I try to walk as fast as possible to the elevator, so they wouldn't be able to scold me about it being dangerous. However, I think I underestimated how fast my brothers were. Val was in front of the elevator before I was.

"How did you even get here?" I ask, annoyed.

"Super powers." Val says. I just roll my eyes at them.

"You know, your eyes will get stuck like that if you keep rolling them." Val says, trying to annoy me.

"Yeah, I've heard. Now, please move." He really is annoying.

"What have we told you about going out by yourself?" Enzo says. I turn to see the rest of my brothers and Cal now standing in front of me.

"That it's dangerous." I mumble. Could I not have walked a little faster to get to the elevator?

"Yes, so ask one of your brothers to come with you." Ugh, not this again. "And Dom, Ric, Matteo, and I need to work so you have to pick either Marc or Val." He cannot be serious.

"Ughh." I groan. "Fine, I'll just stay here." I start to walk back to my room.

"Wait, so you would rather stay home than be with me or Marcello?" Val asks me.

"Yes." I say shortly and keep walking back to my room. I hear the laughter of all of my brothers except Val and Marc, while they just grumble that they didn't want to go anyways. Suddenly, I get an idea.

"Wait." My brothers all look at me again. "Can I go with Cal?" Maybe he'll be nicer than my other brothers.

"Really?" Cal asks me.

"Sure." I shrug my shoulders. I see his smile widen and Val and Marc look even more pissed off now. Enzo says that it's fine, and we make our way back to the elevator. Enzo gives his usual rules to me and Cal and soon enough, we're out of the building.

We get into some fancy looking car, which I recognize Rowan driving. He smiles at me, and I give him one back. Cal and I talk a bit on the car ride over. He's actually pretty nice. He kind of reminds me of a mixture of Ric and Val. We arrive at the library a few minutes later and hop out of the car. I make an account, so I can check some books out and then go to the bookshelves.

Around 45 minutes later, I have around 20 books, which I made Cal carry. I would feel bad, but hey, not my fault that he decided to come with me. After we check them all out and put them in bags, we head back.

We reach back to their office and walk over to the elevator. We go all the way to the top floor and I go directly to my room, with the books after thanking Cal for coming with me. He's not bad, and I would enjoy spending more time with him. I look around to see that all of my brothers are somewhere else.

I decide to just sit down on my bed and read until Alex and Russell come over. I don't think that I could have been prepared for tonight's dinner... 

A/N: And that was chapter 19!

How was it?

Is there anything that you'd like to see in the next few chapters?

Love,
