INIZIO

I hate that we couldn't find her sooner.

But, at least we have her now. Otherwise, I would never have agreed to watch Frozen.

It takes her a little bit, but she finally falls asleep soon after the "Let it go" song.

We let her sleep where she is for a bit longer before Cassio comes to pick her up and take her to her room to tuck her in.

And naturally, I follow him. We are the most intune with each other out of everyone else in the family.

I watch as my twin sets her down on the bed and makes sure she's secure in the blankets before we both give her a kiss goodnight on her forehead.

We have already talked about everything we needed to do with her being back, having girls or friends over, parties, and being home more often to help her.

It's hard though, obviously. First of all, she's the youngest now, she hasn't ever experienced anything, and she's a girl. We are all guys, we can only help so much.

Whoever has even laid eyes on her in the past 14 years better pray we don't find them. I don't care who it is, if they had even the slightest idea that something was happening to her, and did not help. I can say we will surely end them all.

A Few Hours Later

It's about 12:00 a.m. now and most of us are getting ready for bed. I've just gotten comfortable when I hear my baby sister scream.

I get up as fast as I possibly can, grab a knife, and book it to her room. And seeing my brothers, they are all doing the same exact thing. We all have a mixture of guns and knives.

Going into her room, the first thing I do is look for her. Once I see her, thrashing around in her bed. I understand what's happening. She's stuck in a nightmare. Though, just in case, I search the rest of her room as well, and find nothing thankfully.

By the time I'm done, our oldest brothers Raffaele, Arien, and Luciano are surrounding her, trying to calm her down so she can breathe again.

It takes her a while but she eventually calms down again, with Luciano's arms around her.

And now, she finally calms down and notices us. Her eyes widened.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to wake all of you, it was only a nightmare."

She flinched when Raffaele went to comfort her.

"Hey hey tesoro, it's ok, no one is mad at you. We are only here to help." He reassured her.

"R-really?" She stuttered with widened eyes, "Really, no ones mad at me?"

Poor girl, she seems so genuinely confused by the fact we are not mad.

And as she cries in my brother's arms, I silently promise her that I will protect her no matter the cost, and I will find who did this to her and they will suffer by my family's hands.

But they will have to wait for now, they're lucky we're so engrossed in Leonara's return.
