Amongst the Chaos

Healing

"I'm s-sorry please don't be mad, I tried to stop it but I was too small and it was always worse when I tried to fight" I pleaded with them. Matteo looked up to see my tear-stained face and rushed over to my bedside.

"Don't you dare apologize Theo none of us are mad at you, we're furious at that bastard who did this but not at you, never at you" Matteo said as he looked directly into my eyes, stroking my hair.

"We're all so proud of you" Luca added

"P-Proud? why would you be proud o-of me?" I hiccuped, how could they be proud, I'm weak, small, damaged.

"Because sorellina you are so strong and brave even after going through all of that your still this bright ball of sunshine" Gabriel explained and this lit my face up with a smile.

"Thank you" I mumbled, I'm still not familiar with receiving compliments.

"Don't you worry about a thing Bumblebee that monster will never set foot near you again," Christian assured me and I appreciated his concern, that has been a secret worry of mine since I heard what happened from that police officer. What if Steven finds me?

As my thoughts were racing I couldn't help a yawn escape, this didn't go unnoticed by my brothers.

"You should get some rest angel you shouldn't be pushing yourself too much you're still healing, Dr Perkins should be by soon to run those tests I'll go look for her while you relax" With that Luca rose from his seat and left the room along with Matteo, Christian, Gabriel, and Dante. It was just Leo and me.

"Do you want a cuddle?" He looked so nervous asking me.

"Yeah okay" I replied and moved over to one side of the bed, Leo scooted in beside me and turned on the television.

"Theo can ask you a question? It's okay if you don't want to answer" He didn't look at me when he asked, he kept his attention on the television in front of us.

"Umm okay" I answer unsure of what to expect.

"When did he first rape you" This time Leo glanced down at me when he asked, his eyes held pain and sadness. I didn't know if I should tell him or not I didn't want to upset him any further than I already had.

"The f-first time I was eleven" It pained me to say and I'm not even sure he heard me because I spoke so quietly unable to trust my shaky voice.

I slowly raised my eyes up to my older brother's, he was now crying and he just pulled me into a tight embrace which I welcomed.

"I'm so so sorry Theo I swear I will never let anyone hurt you like that again" He whispered softly

After a few minutes of us holding each other Leo pulled back and began searching through the shows and movies that were currently on.

"Oh want to watch this movie?" I looked up at the small screen

"What's Mulan?" I never got to watch much tv only the shows and films Lorie and Steven had playing on the television.

"What? you've never watched Mulan" I shook my head and Leo looked quite shocked by this.

"Have you watched any Disney movies?" Again I shook my head, Leo looked glum at this fact.

"Well I guess I must introduce you to a world you wish you knew sooner starting with Mulan" He selected the film and I snuggled into his side. All of my brothers wore nice colognes and they all reminded me of a familiar and safe place, home.

M A T T E O

Once we stepped out of the room leaving Theo with Leo we all let out a collective sigh. That was a hard pill to swallow, we failed our Piccola Principessa and I will never forgive myself.

"What do we do Luca?" Gabriel said, he was more emotional than the rest of us, him being the more sensitive brother out of the six of us. I could see that Dante was near his breaking point like me. We wanted to kill somebody but that one person wasn't there.

"I'm going to kill that bastard" I stated with more aggression than I've ever felt in my life, if he thinks he can do what he did to my baby sister and get away with it then he has another thing coming.

"Easy Matteo We-" Luca was interrupted,

"NO! Matteo is right Luca lets rip that pig from whatever prison he is in and make him suffer hell" Dante practically yelled earning some odd looks from people around us.

"Dante I understand you're upset we all are but-"

"But what Luca? what else are we going to do invite him over for dinner? Did you hear what he did to Theo?" Dante was seething with rage and I admired that.

"Yes I did Dante don't start with me okay I'm going to find Dr Perkins you guys take a walk, cool off I'll not have you upset Theo running around like a bull who saw red" Luca bristled and stormed off along with Gabriel and Chris.

I turned towards Dante, if they were going to leave this on the long finger then so be it but I plan on finding that son of a bitch and ending him. He deserves to be put through ten times the pain and suffering that he put Theo through, nobody should do that to a child. She is still a child, innocent, good, kind and she should never have had to endure what that monster did and I plan to make sure he regrets the day he was born.

"Dante want to help me?" I turned towards my younger brother,

"Help you with what?" I smirked at him

"Hunt and kill a monster?"
