Into the Flames

Chapter 3

Aurora's pov:

Opening my eyes, the intense sunlight floods my vision. I lay on a bed, with no clue as to where I am. Looking around, I notice three doors in the large bedroom I have been sleeping in. One I assumed led to a bathroom, while another led to a closet. The last door, as I assumed, led to a large hallway. The hallway was dark with minimal lighting, and nothing personal on the walls. The hallway was painted with a dark grey color, as the floor was a black wood. I crept down the hallway making my way to what looked to be a staircase. Where the fuck am I? The glass staircase led down to a large front door, completely made of black stained glass. The entire house was a black and grey theme, but very modern to say the least.

Hearing voices from the floor below me, I instantly run back into the room I had come from. I hadn't realized before that the room was in fact really big. It had a king bed in the center, a couch against one wall, a large desk in the corner and even a humungous tv hanging by the end of the bed. Where the fuck am I? I repeat to myself. Before I could get a chance to explore the room more, the door behind me abruptly opened and a very big man stepped inside. I felt myself stepping backwards as fear crept into my veins. Not letting it get to me, I push the fear away and release a series of questions towards the man.

"Who are you? Where am I? Where are my sisters?" In one deep breath, all my questions are out and I stand awkwardly awaiting a response. "My name is Luca Giuseppe. You are going to be staying here per my brothers request. Your sisters are fine. They are just down the hall. Welcome to our home gattina."

"I'm sorry I'm not sure who the fuck your brother thinks he is, but you cannot keep my family here against our will." Anger bubbled inside me as my brain switched into mama bear mode. I would do anything I could to protect my sisters. After the trauma they endured with my mother, they only deserved happiness in their lives. They didn't need whatever the hell this is to add to their problems. "Gattina (kitten) my brother is a very powerful man and if he says you are staying here then I'm afraid there's nothing you can do. I'm not sure why you're even here, but if my brother finds it necessary for our business, then I will do everything in my power to make sure not only do you want to be here, but that you have no chance of leaving." With his words, he steps closer and closer to me, backing me into the wall. His breath finds my neck as he whispers into my ear, "You're stuck mi amore. (my love)" My eyes shut tightly as I felt his presence leave my body. A loud thud sounds through the room as he slams the door shut.

I have absolutely no idea what the fuck I have gotten myself into, but it can't be good. I need to get my sisters and myself out of this creepy mansion and back to our home.

Walking out of the room after collecting myself, I make my way to a room where I hear giggles resembling my sisters. Opening the door, I see Amira, Aria, and Alessia all sitting on a couch watching a movie. Grown ups 2 played on the tv screen as the stared intently at it occasionally releasing a few laughs. "Girls are you okay?" I speed walk over to them and wrap them up into a huge hug. Seeing them perfectly fine and happy was all I needed right now.

Aria grabs my hand and leads me over to the corner of the room away from the little ones after we chatted with them for a little bit. "Aurora where the fuck are we?" Aria questioned me with fear in her lightly colored hazel eyes. "Aria I really don't know, but I am going to get us out of here. Don't talk to anyone , don't even look at anyone. While I'm gone keep the girls here please." Her eyes glossed over as tears escaped her eyelids and fear consumed her emotions. "Be safe please." Her words squeaked as I could tell my once fiery sister was now terrified. I hated seeing her like this. I don't care who I have to go through, I will save us.

I left the room after telling the girls to behave, and I made my way to the first floor, occasionally passing a few women who looked to be maids, and a few men who all wore protective vests, and held guns in their hands. As I round the corner of a wall, I bump into what felt like another wall. I look up and stare into a gorgeous set of chocolately brown eyes. "Uh I'm sorry, I was just looking for the guy who runs this place. Do you think you could take me to him?" His entire presence screamed danger and you could see his intense muscles through his black shirt. His hair was a dark brown, and he held this look of numbness on his face. "You have found him mi amore (my love). My name is Lorenzo but please call me Enzo. It's nice to finally properly meet you Aurora." A smirk spread across his lips as a look of realization hit me. This was the man from last night at the club. "W-W-Why am I here?" I slightly whisper as I stepped back and aimed my head towards the ground. Something about this man made all of my confidence and bravery fade away. "Because il mio topolino (my little mouse) when I saw you at the club I decided I had to have you. You're innocence was intoxicating and I just had to have it all for myself." He whispered the last part into my ear, bending the upper half of his body towards me.
