Lost Mafia Princesses

Chapter 2: Brothers

     After he mentioned us having brothers, everything became chaotic. We never had good experiences with guys. Lia tried reminding herself not to judge people so quickly.

     Our father told us to go in the living room. We sat there and waited. We heard footsteps start to come down. We sat closer to each other.

     Boys started entering the living room. There was five (not including father) of them.

"There's five of them!?!" Aria whispered.

     I quickly elbowed her and sat up straight. She also copied me in doing so.

     They took a moment to stare, and then sat. It was quiet for a bit until father spoke up.

"Boys, introduce yourselves."

"I'm Vincenzo, the oldest."

     He looked just like mother..

"I'm Alessandro. The second oldest" another one said, giving us a small smile.

"Leonardo." One answered coldly.

"Giovanni."

"And I'm Emiliano."

     Emiliano's face acted as if it was about to burst with happiness.

     It because silent again. They gave us glances once in a while, but it stay silent.

"Vincent," father said, breaking the silence.

"show them to their rooms."

"Lucky," Emiliano muttered and groaned.

     He led us upstairs. One by one, he showed us our room. All of our rooms were next to each other. My room was the last room on the left.

     As I enter the room, I realize how large it is. Overall, the room was pretty plain.

DING!

Lia:
who's room do we want
to meet up in?

DING!

Aria:
we can meet in yours since
it's in the middle

     I sneak out of my room and head to hers. Aria was already in there. I sat down between Aria and Lia so it was a triangle.

"Should we trust them?" Lia says.

"I don't trust them," Aria responds.

"they seem suspicious."

"But they did give us a home.."

     A couple hours passed by and at this point, all we did was do our own thing.

     There was a knock on the door and we all turned out heads at the same time.

"Dinner's ready."

It was Vincenzo.

     We all got up and followed him downstairs. Me, Aria, and Lia all sat next to each other. Aria at the end, then me, and Vera sat next to Vincenzo. Our father sat at the end.

     I noticed that Leonardo wasn't here. Was he always not here for dinner?

     Everyone started to eat so me and my sisters joined in. Everyone finished their food one by one and got up.

     I was a slow eater so my sisters waited for me. Maids took the plates and washed them.

     After I finished eating, we went back up to Lia's room and continued doing our own thing.

     There was knocking on the door so we all turned our heads. It was Leonardo this time.

"Dad wants to talk with you." he said in a monotone voice.

     We followed him to the third floor and to the room at the end of the hall. He opened the door and we entered.

"Sit down," father said.

     We did as he said and Leonardo left the room. The office was huge. There were lots of books in here.

"we need to talk about rules." he says.

"1. No drugs. 2. No leaving the house unless given permission. 3. No consumption of alcohol is allowed. 4. You're not allowed to enter the basement."

     He gives a sheet of paper.

"Those were the basic rules you should know, the rest are on here."

"If you have any other questions, please ask."

"What about school?" Aria asks.

"You will be homeschooled."

"If you have no more questions then feel free to leave."

     We all get up one by one and I follow my sisters out.

"He's scary as heck!!" Lia whispers.

     I quickly elbow her.

"What if he can hear?!"

She closed her mouth.

"We can talk in the room later."

     We went into the room and it was 8:16 p.m.

"I'm going back to my room," I say getting up.

"What!? Why?" Lia says, slightly pulling my arm.

"I'm gonna draw."

"Just draw in here!"

"All the art stuff is in there though." I defend myself.

"Okay.." she answered sounding deflated.

     I headed back to my room and that's when I heard a scream.
