Their Darkest Light

6 : Family.

A M E L L I A

I panicked when I saw that I'm in an unfamiliar room. It's dark.

I'm not that afraid of the dark since it became my comfort zone when they try to hurt me. But right now, I just wish someone would hug me.

I had this dream earlier, it's more like of a memory than a dream but, in that dream I was younger I think I'm 2 or 3 years old at that time, I was crying, I woke up in the dark and started crying when I saw no one with me, I was so scared of the dark. A couple of minutes later someone came inside of my room and picked me up hugging me.

I think it's a teenager, I couldn't recognize him but when he hugged me I felt calm and safe that I stopped crying. After that I woke up, and here I am curled up in fetus shape while keeping my self in a corner wishing that that dream will come true. That someone will hug me tight and make me stop crying. My breathing are heavy, I'm starting to lose some air, I couldn't breathe. I hold my hair tight thinking that this would ease the pain I'm feeling.

Someone hugged me. This is the same feeling that I felt on my dream. It's calming, relaxing, the feeling of being safe in someone's arms. I started to relax, my breathing becoming even as the one who holds me up into his arms caress my back.

"Shhh, sono qui piccola, il fratello maggiore è qui, nessuno ti farà del male." He said something that I couldn't completely understand.

All I know right now is that I feel safe and relaxed than ever.

I felt my eyelids fall down again and with that I fell asleep AGAIN!

I woke up in a dim light room, well at least it's not too bright nor too dark.

I tried to move when I felt something heavy on me, someone's hugging me, I panicked but when I saw who it was I calmed down.

It's my Eldest brother, Alec.

Who's room is this? All I remember is that I'm Dad's office discussing the rules which are 1. No boyfriend until I'm 20 or better if until I graduate. 2. No cursing. Well not out loud Enzo whispered to me. 3. Keep my grades good. 4. No disrespecting, that includes lying. That's all. Then someone talked in the intercome, Xendric. He asked for our father and brothers to be there immediately. They all run downstairs as they heard Xandrix's heavy breathing. I also run down with them- well typically walked as I'm advised- told by my brother, Enzo to not run.

When we reached Xandrix's room, he was there crying and having a hard time breathing. Enzo tried to calm him down but couldn't. I couldn't take it anymore, I slowly walked towards him and hugged him, after that we had a small talk and I fell asleep. Then I woke up in a room so dark, I cried then someone hugged me then I stopped crying then fell asleep again.

What is me sleeping all of a sudden.

"Bambina, is everything okay?" I looked at Alec.

I saw him half awake, scrunching his eyes.

"Yeah, just thinking, who's room is this?" I asked.

"Mine, I saw you in Xandrix's room crying and having a hard time breathing. You scared me you know? But I guess it's because it's dark. You hate the dark, you would always cry every time you would wake up in the dark. You would only stop crying when I carry you, not even Mom or Dad could make you stop crying." He said chuckling.

"I would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night just to go to your room and carry you into my arms, I was 12 at the time. But I couldn't stand seeing you being scared, so I would stay with you until you fall asleep again." He said reminiscing.
