"Ember, please I need you"
"What about me, Eli? What about when I needed you?"
Don't show weakness.
Don't fall in love.
Obey Louis.
Those who break these rules will face death. What if the rule-breaker was the one and only, Princess Ember? Will her...
I woke up feeling a bit light-headed. I grabbed the medicine sitting on my nightstand table and threw a handful in my mouth. How much is the recommended amount again?
A knock echoed through my room as Eli whisper yelled. "Em? Are u awake? Breakfast is ready, come eat with me."
'Come eat with me'. Tears formed on the brim of my eye but I made sure not to let them fall. I have a brother and he cares about me. I'm not going to let them down.
"I'm coming Eli. Just wait outside for a minute so I can freshen up!"
I stepped into my bathroom and applied makeup to my face and body, making sure my bruises were not visible. It's a bit hard to cover some of my bruises so I made sure to wear a fully covered outfit.

I opened my door and saw Eli sitting on the floor waiting for me, sleeping. "Eli? Asshole I didn't take that long for you to fall asleep... ELI WAKE UP" I began kicking his leg with my foot. "OH MY GOD. ELI THERE'S A SPIDER!!" Less than a minute later, Eli jumps up and runs downstairs.
fucking dumbass.
I walked into the dining room and saw the entire family eating. Just perfect... I spotted an empty seat next to Greyson and sat down.
"You were okay with ditching your sister and leaving her unprotected?" I said to Eli, glaring my eyes.
"You are more than capable of protecting yourself" replied Eli as he shoves food into his mouth.
"What is going on? Did someone try to hurt you guys?" questioned father.
"Ember is mad that I ditched her to fend for herself against a FAKE spider," Eli said as he rolled his eyes.
Laughs erupted from the mouths of my family, that is everyone besides Alexander. I'm starting to think that Louis is right, I should kill them.
"What if it was real? Nice to know my brother is a traitor!"
A cold sarcastic laugh came from Alex as he locked eyes with me. "Pretty hypocritical for you to be talking about being a traitor. Did you forget that you tried to kill us?"
Fuck you, Alexander..
"Did you forget that you tortured me? The difference between me and you is that I grew up thinking you were the bad people. I thought you had killed every person I've cared about which is why I had a personal vendetta against you. You hated me because you thought I was Louis' daughter, something I cannot control. Get a fucking grip, Alexander."
"Wrong... We hate you because you killed many innocent people, some including our mother" snarled Gio.
"I don't kill innocent people and I would never harm a female."
