Forever family

Chapter 11

Emmalin P.O.V

"Luca!" I called, running into his room without knocking.

"Hmm?" He didn't even bother looking up from his phone. I mean, come on! Can he not hear the panic in my voice? What if I came here to say there were a bunch of werewolves in my room?

"We're going to a ball tonight. A ball!" I say.

"Yes, bambina. I know, and so do you. What's wrong?" His smile was amused.

"I've never been to one, and I don't know what to wear. Not to mention the fact that I'll only know my brothers, cousin, Elena, and Chase."

"Relax, Tesoro. The ball is or you and Sofie, so all you have to do is mingle with a bunch of family, and their plus one's. Secondly, that the point. You'll know a lot more people by the end of the night. Lastly, we have some designer coming in about twenty minutes, so that you and Sofie can try on dresses! Yay! Antonio says you shouldn't go to the mall after last time, but now you get to choose your favourite right here, with yours truly, as a judge. Come on, we're having a fashion show!" He makes jazz-hands, and I giggle.

A fashion show was exactly what we had. The designer that cam was named Sofia, and on that basis alone, Sofie was over the moon. It's a pretty common name, but somehow, Sofie has never met someone with her name.

Both Luca and Sofie, were wearing sunglasses and scarves, because according to Luca, that's how it is on TV.

I look at myself in the mirror, and smile. I look stunning. The dress I'm wearing, is a beautiful Navy blue, and is absolutely stunning.

"Woah." Luca breathes.

"Emmy so pretty!" Sofie jumps up and sown, clapping her hands. We already chose an adorable peach coloured dress for her.

"Thanks, Sofie. Luca?" He was still staring at me with admiration.

"My sister is so beautiful. It's a yes from me." He kisses my forehead.

"Thanks guys. By the way, this isn't a got talent audition, Luca." I smile, and change back into my regular clothes.

"Emmalin, are you ready? We're leaving in a few minutes!" Dante calls from downstairs.

"Off you go, honey." Martha says, "You look beautiful, cara." (dear)

"Thank you, Martha. And thanks for doing my hair and make-up."

Sofia P.O.V

"Aww, my Principessa looks so pretty." Gio says, taking a picture of me on his phone, as the rest of my brothers do the same thing.

"Emmalin, are you ready? We're leaving in a few minutes!" Dante says. A few seconds later, my sister walks slowly down the stairs. Everyone falls silent. She's the prettiest girl in the whole world.

"Emmy, you are the prettiest girl in the whole world." I tell her honestly. She smiles, and gives me a hug.

"I've already told you, Sof, nobody is as pretty as you." She has told me this many times, but I still think she's beautiful.

"Wow, I feel like I'm going to prom." She giggles. "Now all I need is a date."

"Ooh! Ooh! Pick me! Pick me!" Luca says, after everyone got a picture of her.

"Sorry Luca, but I've already chosen a date." All my brothers look confused. "Sofia, will you be my date to the ball?" I beam up at my big sister.

"It would be my lonour." I say, making everyone giggle.

"You mean honour, miele." (honey) Antonio says, and I correct myself.

"You both look amazing. Now come on, let's go."

"Si capo!" (yes boss) I salute like in the movies, and my brothers exchange a look, before laughing nervously. Oh well.

When we enter, everyone is looking at us, and Emmy looks scared, until I squeeze her hand, and Antonio whispers something in her ear.

"Every, this is Emmalin, whom I'm sure you all remember, and this," Antonio lifts me up, "Is our youngest sister, Sofia Folliero." Everyone claps for us, and I smile at them. Emmy is smiling, too, but I can see her squeezing Gio's hand so much, that he winces.

"My babies!" An old lady says, pinching our cheeks.

"Sofie, Emma, this is your aunty June." Antonio says. For the next hour, Antonio introduced us to a lot of people.

"My I have a dance with the most beautiful ladies in the room?" One of my cousins asks. He looks to be around Antonio's age.

"Okay," I giggle, and Antonio hands me over.

"Bring her back when you're done." Antonio says.

We dance for a bit, and my cousin is very funny. I laughed a lot, because he's a very silly boy. When I look to the side of the room, I see one of the people giving grown-up drinks to everyone. When he turns around, I see his face, and I freeze. I know him. He hurt Emmy. He's a monster. He tried to hurt me, too, but Emmy stopped him.

"Sofie? What's wrong?" My cousin asks. I don't answer him. He lifts me into the air, and places me on his hip. "Tesoro, speak to me." (sweetheart) I don't answer him.

"What happened?" Antonio asks, appearing by my side, and taking me into his arms.

"I don't know. We were dancing, and she suddenly stopped. She won't tell me what's wrong."

"Sofia? Miele, what happened?" I shake my head. "Go get Emmalin." He orders.

"Hey Antonio, what's wrong?" Emmy looks at me, and panics. She holds me tight.

"He's here." I whisper into her ear, and feel her tense.

"Antonio, I'm just going to take her to the bathroom to talk." My brother nods, and Emmy carries me off. She sits me next to the sink. "Sofie, Carter is gone, he can't be back." She says.

"Not Carter. The other one. The one that hurt you the most." I whisper. Emmy looks suddenly scared.

"Let's go tell Antonio, okay? That man will not hurt us." I rest my chubby cheek on her shoulder, and play with her hair using my small hands.

"I love you, Emmy." I say, because I do. She always saves me.
