the unwanted twin

chapter 57

Dante was going to end the call when I recognized the number "excuse me" he said with a sinister grin.

He walked off so he could be out of hearing range but so he could still see his sister.

"She's not waking up" Damon shouted in frustration.

"Hello is this Mr Russo I'm speaking to"
"Yes I trust you have good news for me"
"Well after discussing your case we have agreed it would be beneficial to speak to them so I am transferring you now please hold"

Only seconds later did a gruff voice speak
"Who are you and what do you want"

"I want to know if Emilia has any allergies " Dante asked the man who would soon be dead. Henry.

The conversation was quick, after threatening him in the most torturous ways, he gave up the information needed.

Whilst this was going on, Emilia was thankfully coming around. She opened her eyes and turned to the side coughing up water.
Damon patted her back whilst Alesandro ran his hand through her hair in comfort.

Damon was crouched on his knees, he didn't care about anything except her. He pulled her into his chest hugging her tightly. "I'm so so so sorry" he whispered repeatedly.
"Are you ok bambina" Alesandro asked but he knew the answer, he just felt the need to ask.

Emilia nodded but moved slightly so she was closer to Damon.

"Damon" she whispered.

Alessandro and Damon were shocked that she had spoken in front of everyone. The rest were shocked that she spoke.

"Yeah?"

Emilia didn't say anything instead she clung to him not wanting him to disappear.

She wanted to be mad at him for earlier but she couldn't, it wasn't like he meant to hurt her, she trusted him the most, he was her protector.

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm right here" he whispered, stroking her hair.

Alesandro wished he could be the one to hold her but he knew because of what Henry did she was still hesitant.

"Dad"

Alesandro blinked and looked at her in suprise. "Yes sweetheart" he asked.
Emilia tried her best to get out of Damon's grip, he finally reluctantly let go and Emilia was straight in his arms.

She cried into his chest and Alesandro held her tightly "I'm sorry sweetheart"

Damon stood up with a dark look on his face, he knew he had to change but there was more important things to do, his clothes were soaked so much so that they clung to him and his abs and tattoos were on show making his appearance seem scarier. He didn't need a cold, he needed to be strong for Emilia since he determined his family couldn't protect her as well as he could. "someone get some fucking towels" he snapped running his hand through his hair.

Ellie had already rushed inside to get some, she handed them to Leo not wanting to approach Damon. Leo was also a little reluctant but quickly gave Damon the towels.

"Can you stand" Damon asked Emilia.
Emilia nodded and  Alesandro finally let her go so she could stand, she lost her balance but luckily Alesandro grabbed her and steadied her.

Damon wrapped a towel around her shoulders, he glanced at the bruise on her upper arm.

"I am so sorry darling" he whispered gently.

He then took another towel and wrapped her hair up in it.

He was just about to discard his own shirt as there was no point him keeping it on when Dante walked back to the group. A dark look on his face, nothing but anger.
