We'll Protect You

Chapter 10, Broken glass

Recap

I broke something.

I need to clean it up.

They might punish me, for breaking something of their's.

I hear footsteps.

Someone is coming

I quickly get down and try to find the broken glass.

That hurts, I have some shatered glasses, in my hands.

"Who is it?" I hear Xander ask.

As soon as Xander says that, the lights turns on.

I look and see two of the brothers standing, couple feets away from me, with scary looks, on their faces.

Xander's pov:

My twin and I were in my room smoking and talking to each other coz we couldn't sleep.

We were talking about how to get rid of that filthy whore of a sister we apparently had.

"We need to find a way to get rid of her" my twin says as he looks up my window.

"Yeah I know" I say not knowing what to do nor say.

"We need to hurry up, everyone seems to start to warm up to her specially Gabriel" he says as he's getting irritated every second.

"What if we frame her?" I say

"Yeah, okay but what would we frame her for?" He asks

"Yeah, true that's the real question"

"Lorenzo has made such a big mistake to bring that idiot girl into our house, she doesn't even look like any of us!" He says as he throws his cigarette down and turns towards me.

"Who knows if she's just an imposter just wanting some attention and acting like our real sister?" He says

"You do have a point but remember that Lorenzo is different, he wouldn't bring a nobody, in our house for nothing" I say as I try to figure out the real reason.

"But why? I just don't get it?" My twin replies

"Me neither" I say as I look at him.

"It's getting late, I'll go" he says

"K, bye" I say

As soon as he opens my room's door, we hear glass shattering.

We look at each other and get our guns and head to the place of the sound.

None of our brothers seem to hear it coz were the only ones out of our room.

As we get closer, we hear more glass shattering.

What are the guards doing?

They should've inform us if an intruder had trespassed our territory but didn't.

Oh they will be in so much trouble, after I kill that intruder.

We get close to the glass shattering which was coming from the kitchen.

As soon as were a meter away from the kitchen, I look at my twin and signal him to open the lights.

As he does, we see a tiny body on the ground with glass in hands and on the ground.

We both look at each other and hide our guns as soon as the person looks at us with teary eyes.

"What are you doing here?" My twin asks with his emotionless face.

Gabriella's pov

"What are you doing here" one of them asks me.

I don't say something and try to clean the shattered glasses, from the ground.

Then I realise that some tears have fallen.

Stupid me, why are you crying? Just deal with the pain. My consciousness tells me

I hope they won't punish me or do something worse to me.

"Hey, answer the question" the other twin asks in a irritating tone.

I have no choice but to tell them and then get beaten the hell out of me for my clumsiness.

"Do you even talk, you elephant?!" The other twin yelled

"I-I w-wan-t-ed w-wa-wate-water" I said stuttering.

"You shouldn't of have done that"  both of them speaks in unison making me scared.

Omg are they going to kick me out of here or kill me.

I certainly can't die in their hands, specially not like that.

They start to walk towards me, but at the same time.

What if I scream maybe Gabriel might hear me and come help me.

What if he beats me instead of helping me because of the broken glass.

"Look at what you have done, you whore" one of them yells.

By now, I am pretty sure that the whole house is awake because of his loud voice.

One of the twin comes closer and crouches down to be at the same level as I, just to swing my left arm, for the glass that I was holding to drop.

Why did he do that?

"Go to your room, you brat!" One of them yells.

I stay for some seconds to process what just happened.

They didn't slap me nor beaten me in any way.

What's happening? Is this a trick of some sort?

"What's happening here?" Someone says.

I look behind to see all of my brothers awake and looking at the scene.

"Go away, whore" the one crouched down which I think is Xander, whispers to me and so I do.

As I pass all of my brother, to go to my room, I hear some yelling and some insults being thrown to whoever it is.

This all happened because of me.

I should've never of have had went down for a drink.

I get to my room and go to the bathroom to bandage my wounds.

I won't be able to sleep anymore.

I undress myself and head to the shower, where I let the hot, boiling water down my body. 

After the shower I add few more cuts to my stomach, and both arms because of the event that just occurred.

I bandage everything up and head to my small bookshelf where I take a book and start reading it.
