Waking up from a nightmare covered in sweats not something new. Just surprised that I didn't scream it would've been bad then. Can't let my brothers know. My brothers. They're very nice. They didn't hurt me. Yet. I don't know if it's too early to trust them. Glancing at the bed side clock, which is showing 4am. It's too silent. No one's awake ofcourse. But I can't sleep anymore. It has became a habit of mine because of emma and james. They didn't like it when I slept too long. Wait is someone walking in the hallway? Shit if one of my brother's saw me awake I don't know what they're going to do. I should pretend to be asleep. Getting under the covers I quickly lay down and close my eyes. I can hear someone open my bedroom door and walk inside.
"she's asleep" someone mutters very quietly. Can't make out the voice.why is he here? Is he going to do something bad? Oh no. I can hear him walking closer and closer.. He sighs before I hear his footsteps fading and it's gone completely. I peek a little from under the cover and he's gone. Why was he here?

--------------------

"good morning aria! How did you sleep hun" Elijah ask as I enter the dining hall.

"it was alright thank you, how did you sleep?" I ask him as I watch Elijah chopping some fruits and Zavier working on his laptop at the head chair.

"fine love, now take a seat do you want just cereal or pancakes? Elijah ushers me to take a seat and places a glass of juice.

" uh can I have just um cereal?" aria asks nervously hoping they won't do anything. She feels embarrassed to ask for anything.

"ofcourse let me bring a bowl" Elijah tells her before going to the kitchen. Aria sits quietly not knowing what to do. Zavier clears his throat as he gains her attention.

"Celestia"

"yes" aria answers straightening her back.

"meet me at my office room after finishing your breakfast. Zayn and Leonardo will take you to shopping afterwards is that alright?" Zavier tells her as he looks straight into her green eyes. Aria nervously mutters a quiet yes as Elijah places her cereal bowl infront of her.

" Elijah guide aria to my office room after she finishes this " Zavier orders Elijah as he stands up fixing his suit and leaves the room. Aria eats her cereal slowly dreading for the talk she's going to have with Zavier. Is he going to scold her? But she haven't done anything? Or did she? Stupid aria. Aria eats her cereal as she listens to Elijah talking about his boring office work. He had taken a day off yesterday to spend his time with aria. But today he has to go to work so she would have no one to talk to today since the twins also have basketball practice. Although Elijah said Leonardo and Dante would be home today but aria knows they don't want to engage any conversation with her so she's alone today. Fun. After finishing their breakfasts Elijah leads her to the office room. He opens the door for her as she steps inside looking down.

"take a seat Celestia, you can go now Elijah thank you" Zavier mutters. Elijah nods before giving her a smile and stepping out of the room closing the door. Aria nervously takes a seat infront of his huge work table. Zavier is working on a laptop. He clicks a few buttons before pushing aside the laptop and speaks,
"First of all welcome home Celestia. We all missed you so much. Missed me?
" Now Celestia I called you here to discuss about your school and some certain things which we all follow along in this house. There's no rules or anything that you have to follow. You respect us we respect you, now I'm pretty sure you know that drugs and alcohols are not a very healthy thing so I'll suggest you to stay away from those atleast till you're 19. And about relationships you can be friends with anyone, girls or boys doesn't really matter but you are not allowed to date till you're 18 and this applies for everybody in this house. And you're allowed to go anywhere but you have to let any of your brothers know and you have to take someone with you atleast. So that's that. Now I saw your previous school records. You grades are very good and i expect you keep it up. I got you admitted to the Windermere high school that the twin's go to. You'll be starting your classes from next week I hope you won't have any problems and if there is any you'll come straight to any of us. Is that clear?" Zavier asks as I quickly say yes.

" also I saw in your school records that you are very good at dancing. You were the top dancer at your school. You even participated in competitions and won many of them too but stopped doing it two years ago. May I ask why? The dance teachers even  have highly spoken about you dancing in your record and said you could've had a future in that but why did you stop when you like it that much?"
Zavier inquires as he looks at me.What am I supposed to say now? That my abusers, the people you guys left me with broke my leg when they found out I participated in competitions. That they hated me doing anything other than just study and do as they ordered. Archie supported me so much. He even fought with his own Parent's, james and Emma for me. I sometimes wonder how an angel like archer was a son of people like James and Emma. He was too pure and kind. Now How am I supposed to tell these guys all of this when they're the one's  who left me with them.

"Celestia?"

"yeah uh.. I just lost the passion for it. Had no um i-interest for dance anymore so uh yea that's why I stopped" aria nervously answers as Zavier narrows his eyes on her. He can absolutely tell she's lying. But why? He obviously don't want to pressure her but she seems so closed off. And how can he tell that she's lying? Ofcourse he can tell, that's his little sister, his sorrelina he swore to protect from any harm. She bites her inner cheek when she lies and she would start scratching her ears when she's lying. So obviously he caught on that now he just have to find out why she lied and what's the story behind it.

"I see. Anyways you can go now. Leonardo and Zayn must be waiting. You're dismissed" Zavier tells her as he checks his phone before standing up. Aria stands up too not wanting Zayn and Leonardo to wait for long. Zavier opens the door for her as she steps out and waves in tiny, muttering a soft bye before scurrying of to her room to change. Zavier watches his sister's back as his lips slightly twitches at Celestia's shy nature. Closing the door he sits on his chair as he thinks about the past. The gruesome past. Only if he had the power then he wouldn't have had to send her away. Send her away from all of them. His little sister. He wish his parents were here then he wouldn't have had to do it. Oh how he wish he could rip of that old man's head grandfather or not he wants to skin him alive for sending her away from them. He's forgiving that old hag only because aria was in good hands. As long as he knew James and Emma were just normal citizens, Emma used to work at a Cafe while James was a decent business man. Oh how he's so wrong. How he'll wish he could kill those people for torturing their baby, their sister. Only if he knew...
