The Seven Deadly Brothers

Chapter 21

A/N: Here is chapter 21!

I am so sorry about the delay, school started this week and it has been really stressful

I hope that you enjoy this update :)

Valerius's POV:

I'm listening to Elora's friends talk, and I've got to say that they impressed me more than I thought. I can see that their relationship is strictly friends and they really care about each other. I can tell that my brothers are thinking the same thing.

There is one thing nagging at the back of my mind about them though. They just look so familiar, but I can't remember why. I'm sure that it's nothing though.

We finish dinner and all move to the living room. I see Enzo get a text and then tells Lora and her friends to go to her room. What is this about? After they leave, he dials a number into his phone and puts it to his ear.

"What do you need Cal?" I hear Enzo ask whoever he was talking to, which I now assume is Callisto.

"Fuck, okay. We'll be down in a minute." He says before hanging up. Shit, I hope nothing bad's happening.

"We need to get down there right away. Cal said it's an emergency" Once Enzo says that, we all run into action. We take the elevator down to the 16th floor, where all of our offices are and get into the main conference room (where they had the last meeting) as fast as possible. I see Cal along with the same 5 high ranked workers that Elora didn't like.

The room seems tense. Call looks worried and nervous. I can tell because I've known Cal since I can remember, which means I can read him like a book.

"What happened." Enzo's voice booms.

"You might want to sit down." Cal tells him.

"I'm not going to ask again. What happened?" Enzo says in an even darker and scarier voice and could make you tremble if you hadn't heard it before. Hell, even I'm scared of Enzo when he talks like that.

"We received a package." Cal starts. "It has, well, a message inside." A message?

"Well show me already." Enzo tells him. Cal starts to pull up a photo from his phone. I have a bad feeling about this. I don't know why, but my gut tells me that something's really wrong. Cal hands Enzo the phone and he holds it where we all can see it.

Fuck.

I drive my fist into a wall. I hit the wall so hard, it makes a dent. I keep hitting it. I need to get my anger out. Suddenly I feel hands wrap around mine and pull me away from the wall. I look to see Cal trying to control me.

I don't stop trying, I can't. I can't even think properly. I feel a pinch in my neck. That bastard gave me a sedative. I'm out within seconds.

Third Point of View:

The rest of the Maranzano men have similar reactions to their brother. Enzo is enraged. Ric is itching to kill someone. Dom is shaking with fear. Val is out like a light. Marcello is about to storm out of the room. Matteo is trying to calm his twin down.

All while Elora is sleeping peacefully in her room. Or so they thought.

A storm had fallen over LA which her brothers were oblivious to. Elora however, was awoken by the bright lightning and crashes of thunder. She sighed over the fact that she was not able to sleep long and hopped out of bed knowing she wouldn't be able to fall back asleep.

Elora's POV:

3 AM. Really? I couldn't have slept for at least a few more hours? I jump out of bed and put on a sweatshirt. I head into the kitchen when I realize that I'm kind of hungry. I walk past all of my brothers' rooms on the way there and see that they are all empty. Are they still working? But, it's so early...

I just shrug, knowing there's nothing I can do about it. I decide to make homemade waffles. I used to make them all the time in Idaho, which I'm really missing right now. I start making the batter and heat up the waffle iron.

After the batter is finished, I pour it into the molds and close them. I made a few waffles but then realized that I made way too much batter for just me. Maybe I could bring some to my brothers? I bet they'd appreciate it after working for so long. 

 Once all the waffles are made, I sit down and eat one. I put the rest on a big plate to bring to my brothers. Once I finish, I put up the plate and head towards the elevator. I went down to the floor that had the conference room on it, guessing that they might be there.

The elevator dings and I step out of it. I can hear Enzo yelling from all the way over here. Wow, he must be pretty mad about something. I open the door and step into the room.

All I see is chaos. Valerius is lying on the floor. Shit, is he unconscious? Ric and Enzo are yelling at everyone. Dom looks scared shitless, but is trying to hide it. Marcello looks like he's trying not to explode, and Matteo's talking to him. I see Cal trying to calm everyone down, but failing. My eyes focus on the broken glass all over the floor and the dents in the wall that weren't there before. What the fuck is going on?

Cal seems to notice me standing there shocked at the door way before everyone else. He nudges Enzo and nods to me. After a few seconds, everyone's gaze is on me. Fuck, why did I even come down here? I could be in bed eating waffles, but no I had to come down and probably piss off all of my brothers a lot.

"What the fuck are you doing down here." Marcello asks me. His voice makes me want to turn around and run out of the building, but I know they'd catch me and I'd be in more trouble.

"Um, I couldn't sleep so I made you guys waffles." I say in almost a whisper. They all give me a look. Well, except Val because I'm pretty sure that he's dead by now. Anyways, let's just say that I'm in deep shit.

A/N: And that's chapter 21!

Srry that it's short, I really wanted to get something out
