(All chapters will be from Elora's POV unless said otherwise)

I wake up to loud noises coming from the floor above me. I look at the clock and see that it's 3 AM. I sigh and realize that my pills aren't working very well. They're supposed to keep me asleep for 9 hours, but lately it's been less.

I crawl out of bed and put a sweatshirt on. I normally only sleep in spandex shorts and an oversized t-shirt, but it's a bit cold here. I listen for voices and hear talking right above my room. I recognize the voices as my brother, and assume they're all on the third floor. I still need to figure out what their job is. And how come they're ALL allowed on the third floor but I'm not.

It's late, I wonder why they're all still up. I decide that I need answers about my brothers. I quietly tiptoe out of my room, surprised I was able to make it out without making any noise. I walk down the hallway and as I'm about to step up the stairs, I see something blinking. I walk closer to it and study it. I quickly realize that it's a camera.

Shit. They have cameras everywhere I realize as I continue to look around. For fucks sake, why do they need so many cameras? Yep, they're definitely hiding something.

I decide to keep going. Now or never, right? I reach the steps of the forbidden floor. Ooooh, it's like the Forbidden Forest from Harry Potter. I LOVE the Harry Potter Books. Well, I guess we've got a new name for the third floor.

Anyways, I slowly walk up the steps to the Forbidden Forest. I feel like a spy. Holy shit, what if they're spies? I keep walking up the stairs until I reach the hallway. It looks pretty normal to me, other than being dark. I look down the hallways and all I see is doors. I get a closer look at the doors, and I see that the first seven doors have names engraved in them. They go in order of my brothers; Lorenzo, Ricardo, Domenic, Valerius, Matteo, and Marcello. I notice that in between my two oldest brothers is the name Callisto. That's weird, I don't remember having a 7th brother.

What confuses me even more is what is said on the first three doors of my brothers. They read, Capo Lorenzo, Consigliere Callisto, and Capo Bastone Ricardo.

(A/N: This means that Enzo is the leader, Cal is the consigliere (advisor) and Ric is the second in command. I'm sorry if I'm not spelling/ writing about this right, I literally am getting everything from google.)

What does any of this even mean? What language even was that? I took French at my old school, and let's just say I wasn't the best at it. I go closer to the door that I hear voices coming from and see that it's Enzo's.

Fuck, what if they catch me? I mean, what will they actually do to me? I lean closer to the door and hear them speaking in a different language. It kind of sounds like Italian, but I have absolutely no idea. I grab my phone from my pocket and record a little bit of their conversation, so I can google translate it later. 

After making sure I have the video, I start to creep back down the stairs. That's enough spying for one night. Right before I put my foot on the first step I hear the voices get louder, and realize my brothers are coming out of the room.

Shit, if they see me, I'm dead. I quickly run down the stairs trying to be as quiet as possible, but failing. I run back into my room and lock the door.

Wait. It's not locking. What's happening. It's at this point, my genius self realized that my door does not have a lock. They must have taken it off. Wow, they really don't trust me at all.

I hear loud footsteps close to my room and immediately assume the worst. What if they kick me out? What if they have to kill me because I know that they're Italian spies? Well, I'm not too sure about that last one, but we're getting there.
