jacobs pov

he..i've seen him before, with mom and dad. he was there that night, i can't seem to remember who he was though. he walked closer and stared right at me, i could never forget those green eyes.

*flashback* 

"mr lucio could we skip training today, please. i don't get why i have to". he looked at me and managed a smile, "im afraid not ometto". "aww but please, i want to go play with isaac and cleo", he gave me a stern look. "please please please plea-" i felt a palm hit my face "NO" he chuckled, "i mean no, you'll get it one day"

*flashback ends*

"what.."

i look over at my siblings and cleo had fallen backwards from angelo and the chains are preventing her to get up, isaac is staring at him confused, maybe he remembers him. no he was too young. "nice to see you again jacob" he spoke, isaac looked over at me. "you know him?" i just ignored him, "what the fuck is going on".

he took a look at isaac and smiled, "i barely recognized you there".  he glanced over to cleo, "ah i see you've aged well". cleo struggled to get up, "where are we, who are you, and how do u even know us!". he chuckled, i've always hated that laugh. "bambina, you forgot me?". i have to get us out of here. "what do you want lucio", he walked up to me and slapped me. "after all those years this is how you treat me, eh?". i spat at him, "you've done nothing for me". i felt a hand wrap around my neck, i couldn't breathe but at the same time i felt nothing. i just heard muffled yelling.

*flashback*

i ran out the room, and blood splattered all over the walls. i look around and sighed from relief, it was no one i knew nor cared about. Lusio ran up to me i could tell his face was covered with blood, "mr. rucco, what are you doing outside your room. how many times-" his face was filled with anger but there was something else. "silence, i'll be fine" he glared into my soul, i felt a hand grip my shirt and throw me into my bedroom. i made contact to the floor on my ankles, he stood at the door with a grin. "wait no!" as soon as i got up the door was slammed shut. I ran over to open the door "locked". Cleo's crying got louder, i started to bang on the door. "open the door! open it!" i screamed and in return i got no answer. 'mom, dad please be ok' i thought crouching down to my knees and hiding my head in between my body. "wait.." i quickly got up and ran to a corner in my room where my desk was. Papa told me to use this whenever i needed it, i guess it would be now. I pushed the desk to the side and ran to get flashlight. Each one of us have a tunnel built in to our rooms connecting to other places in the house used for emergencies. I've never used mine before, well maybe once but papa got mad at me because i used it to play hide n seek.

I cracked open the door and dust blew up in my face, "eugh, ew". I crawled in, it was a tight space. My shoulders felt like they were about to burst and it was getting pretty hard to breathe. I paused to think and catch my breath my palms were gray and there were even little cotton balls on it 'where am i even going'. There were two different tunnels in front of me and i whined, maybe i even cried. I got a hold of myself eventually and as my crying stopped, cleos crying got even louder and i used that to guide me. 

It was cold, dirty, and creaky but i could barely hear myself. My thoughts were blurred by all the screaming, i squeezed my eyes shut to stop a tear from falling 'this wasn't the time'. I peeked through the vents and saw cleo, her entire crib was filled with water. It was either she was crying a lot or she peed, and i was praying that it was just cause she was crying too much."

*flashback ends*

"let go of him!"

"are you insane?"

"u bitch put him down!"

"stop it!"

I felt like my body just crashed through a building, i was lying down on the floor. Someone grabbed my hand, it had a soft texture. "it's going to be okay" my younger sister whispered.
