My Past

Chapter 52

Author's Pov [Trigger warning: Mentioning of torture and blood] 

Amelia's oldest brother, Alvise lay on the wall with chains around his ankle and wrist. He was only wearing a worn-out sweatshirt with nothing above. His whole body was covered with brushes, blood, and mud. His eyes were closed and his chest was hardly moving clearly showing his lack of oxygen intake. 

Amelia runs towards her brother and tries to take off the chains but nothing. The metal chains make a sound, making Alvise groan. Amelia gasps when Alvise opens his eyes. His were bloodshot red and when he opens his mouth to say something, blood comes out. Amelia cringes at the sight of blood but nonetheless takes her brother's face in her hands. 

"Alvise...oh god. I am so sorry" Amelia whispers, tearing up even more. Never in her life did she think that she will see such a sight. Her brother was there, covered in blood and it was all her fault. 

What did I do? Amelia thinks and flinches when her brother hiss in pain when she touches his busted lip. 

"My princess" Alvise smiles a little and as his lips stretch, another pain shots. He closes his eyes, trying not to show the pain but it was hard to do, he was already weak due to all the torture.

 Amelia notices her brother's discomfort and turns to Ace who was looking down on the floor, trying not to look at the reunion of the siblings. 

Amelia turns to Lucas who was speaking to one of the bodyguards, "Are you guys going to help me or what?" She says, annoyed that they haven't helped Alvise out yet. As soon as Ace hears that, he goes towards Alvise and checks his wrist. 

"Metal chains. We can't get him out without a key" Ace exclaims. Amelia frowns and bites her lower lip. An idea suddenly comes into her mind. She smiles, happy that finally, she is able to help. She takes out a bobby pin from her hair and goes to the lock. 

Amelia stretches the pin and curves it a little bit. She then puts it inside the lock and fiddles the pin around, trying to open it somehow as she has seen in movies. 

Everyone holds a breath as she tries to open it. A sigh of relief goes past their mouth when the lock finally opens. Amelia grins when the lock opens, she quickly repeats the same with other sides of the lock. 

  Ace holds Alvise from one side while Lucas does from the other. Both of them bring Alvise to the corner of the room where a small chair sat there. 

Amelia hugs her brother who winces in pain but nonetheless, hugs her back. He smiles when he feels his sister's warmth. When Amelia got kidnapped again, Alvise lost it. He thought about when she was born, and how she was kidnapped. Alvise lost it after a week of having no clue. History was repeating itself and Alvise blamed himself, again. 

When Amelia was kidnapped when she was born, he blames himself even though he was a kid. But he thought that it was his fault because he was the oldest sibling. And now? Now he is about to take his father's place and once again, he couldn't protect his little sister. 

"I missed you so much, princess" Alvise says as a single tear drops from his eye.
