setting ablaze ( a queen is born)

The Grace

It was almost time for dinner. Everyone had freshened up and was just lazing around in their room. At exactly 6, a knock went round most of the doors to remind them that they have to meet one more time before sleep for a ritual called dinner. Mind you, dinner wasn't a common thing since the separation of the family, but Russo wanted to bring them back, hence the resurrection of the once dead ritual.
Almost everyone was sitting down. The only person not in their seat yet was one of the twins. To everyone's  surprise,  even Amara  arrived on time, so where the hell was the youngest of the twin duo. Helena felt bothered by it and so looked at Russo's direction, giving him a head nod in the direction of the empty chair. He just raised a brow, clearly confused at the gesture, but after a while, he figured it out. Helena scoffed lowly at her husband, wait, was he even her husband, well technically they never did get a divorce so yeah. " luca, where is Luigi? It's unlike him to miss dinner considering his appetite," the voice asked with worry laced in it. Luca lifted his head to meet his father's, then turned to his mother, who also seemed bothered. Not knowing anything, he just shrugged his shoulders. " I don't know where he is," luca muttered out after swallowing the piece of food in his mouth. The rest of the dinner went surprisingly smoother than expected. It seemed that everyone was more peaceful around food. After dinner, they all retired to their rooms, well almost all of them. Helena  was walking around the compound, especially the garden. The garden the man she once loved bought her as a sign of his appreciation of her in his life. It looked the same, as if someone had been tending to it. Just then, the wind blew, and a strange warmth surrounded her. She turned to see her husband's face. " Helena, I wanted to see where you were going and to make sure you were all right," He stated." I'm fine,just needed to clear my head, that's all," she muttered. " ohk, but I wanted to discuss Marcus's school. Should we enrol him in the school the kids went to , or should we homeschool him?" 
" I don't know, he doesn't really have a  good track record with schools, he's been suspended from many schools recently " Helena responded back with a hint of pink on the tips of her ears due to the cold. Cursing that he didn't  bring a coat with him, he stepped closer to her to provide her with more body heat. That seemed to have more effect  on her cause now ,he was really close to her. Lifting  her head up, she stared into his eyes,the same forest green eyes that used to be her world . It was like time had frozen on the two as they just kept staring  into each others eyes. Holding her chin, Russo bent his head down a bit, right above her ear," I'm never going to let you out of my sight again,  I'll do everything possible to make you mine again, ti amore. I'll burn down the city and kill anyone who stands in my way of getting you back, " He whispered in her ear, sending a wave of shock through her. She gasped as she shivered a bit to his words. " Crack!!"The sound of broken class echoed through the house. It snapped Helena out of her trance, and a kiss landed on her forehead before her warmth disappeared. She closed her eyes, savouring the feel of his lips on her skin again after so long. Slowly opening  them, she also made her way back to her room to hopefully sleep this off.

On the other side, Luigi had just returned from wherever he was coming  from. He cursed as he hit a table, causing the glass vase to hit the ground. He didn't  bother to pick the glass. Right now, he needs to tend to his injuries and get to bed. Limping his way to his room, he kept his hand over his ribs to create pressure. He wasn't  sure yet if it was broken or not, but he sure as he'll knew it was bad. When he was almost at the door, he bumped into someone, that someone was none other than Marcus.  " What are you doing up, fratello?" He grunted out  through  the stabbing  pain. Marcus held onto his brothers  other arm and pulled him towards his room. Leaving him standing and shaking in pain ,he ran to the bathroom to get a first aid kit. They sat there in silence as Marcus cleaned,  disinfected, and bandaged the wounds. Some of them he had to apply ice, so he went down stires to get some. Luckily , no one saw him. Luigi sat in silence and watched his little  brother tend to him with so much precision and care. " Where did you learn all of that?" He breathed out as the pain started to numb. " Oh, that, its nothing,  with Amara and Santiago sometimes getting into fights or when they get ito illegal fights. I had to learn something so they I could tag along sometimes cause they wouldn't  let me go so I learnt  this in the hopes that one day they'll see that I can do it, and ask me to physically tag along instead of just playing  doctor  at home" if it wasn't for the aching pain in his side, luigi would have laughed  but he just chuckled. When he was done with the last stich, he put everything aside.  " Marcus, please don't tell anyone about this," Luigi said, making his way back to his room. " I won't brother".

In another room, Amara  was having trouble  sleeping, and now the crushing sound gad also interrupted her non-existence sleep. Getting  out of bed, she checked  her stuff to see if she could find her pills, but she couldn't.  Frustrated, she just sat down in furry and sighed. Then suddenly, she got up and walked towards her wardrobe, busy looking  for an item she craved. Spotting it, she pulled the blue coloured blanket  out and made her way back to the bed. Clenching it to her chest, the suffocating  feeling slowly  disappeared, and sleep slowly  took over. With a faint and almost  unnoticeable smile,she drifted off to sleep
