^Their Little Principessa^

CHAPTER - 10

Maybe I am imaginaing things.

"Now, tell us the truth Bella." Emilio demanded

"Uh....I.....j-just h-h-hav-ve a-a................. b-bad-d d-d-d-drea-am."

"What did you saw?"

"I-I d-don't re-member"

Emilio looked at me pointedly. But let the matter go, which I was thankful for.

"If something like this happens again, come to any of us. We wil help you."Emilio told me comfortingly.

I nodded slowly knowing full well that I won't ever be going to them for help.

Noah came and sat beside me and wrapped his arms around me in a comforting hug.

"Bambina, it's okay. We are here for you. We will always be there to protect you in every situation except this."

I looked at him questioningly.

But soon started to burst out laughing as he began tickling me.

"aahhh, please!! No!!" I managed to speak in between my hysterics.

I laughed and snorted.

As Noah stopped tickling me. I heard gasps coming from my brothers. I looked at them questioningly and then followed their gaze which landed on my bruised stomach.

OH GOD!!!!!

I looked up towards them with fear in my eyes.

Good, now they gonna think I am some broken girl.

"WHO THE HECK DID THIS TO YOU? I AM GONNA KILL THAT FUCKING BASTARD!!"Xavier shouted angrily.

I looked around to see all my brothers looking at me for answers.

I gulped.

What should I say to them? Should I speak the truth. But they are going to send me away then and hate me or pity me. I don't want any of this thing to happen. A sob escaped my lips and then a stream of tears made its way out.

I cannot confront them. Not now. Not anytime soon. Or maybe never.

Without any second thought. I jumped out of my bed and started running outside the room and locked it so that I will not be able to see them now. Hope they will stay there for some time.

Till then I will come up with a believable lie.

But my train of thoughts was interuppted by a loud bang

I looked towards my room to see the door flung open. My eyes wide as saucers.

How stupid of me to think that they will stay behind locked in a room. They are FREAKING BIG MUSCULAR BOYS!!!

They could easily break any wall. Oh my god!!! What I was even thinking???

I ignored their calls for me and ran downstairs. As soon as I made my way towards the last stair. Somebody grabbed my arm harshly and I flinched away in pain and screamed.

The person who grabbed my hand was Ace and he gave me a weird worried look. He then put me on his shoulders and made his way towards the living room couch and held me tightly but not that much to hurt me. All the brothers came and sit beside me. They all looked at each other and nodded.

Then the twins grabbed my hands. I looked at them confused. Then Noah and Austin grabbed both of my legs. Ace sat beside me for giving me comfort. Then I realised, what they are gonna do. I started panicking and aimlessly flailed my arms. But it was of no use.

I was no match to my bulky brothers. Emilio leaned forward and hold the sleeves of my shirt and slowly and carefully rolled it.

I would have smiled at it kindness but this was not the time.

What if they found it? They are gonna leave me. Just leave me.

As soon as he rolled the sleeves everyone's eyes widened with anger. Everyone seemed like they are going to kill someone now.

"Who did this?" Emilio asked through gritted teeth.

"I-I f-fell f-from the s-stairs."

"OH REALLY! THEN TELL ME WHY ARE THERE BURNT MARKS ON YOUR ARMS???"Austin shouted

My breath hitched. I looked at all of them in horror. There eyes are a darked shade of blue now.

"Bella, tell us. Who did this to you?" Ace asked me calmly but you could see how much he is trying to control his anger.

"I-I C-can't"

"AND WHY CAN'T YOU?" yelled Xavier

"It's clear that she doesn't trust us." said Noah sadly shaking her head

I looked at him and shook my head.

"It's true otherwise you would have told us. You don't think we are reliable and trustable." Ace said dejectedly with eyes glistening with tears which threaten to fall anytime.

Xander second him nodding his head.

"You said I am your 'eroe' but you wouldn't let me help you" said Emilio with a disheartened look.

I started to cry looking at them.

I am so Bad. I mad them feel so sad.

I should trust them. They are my brothers. Whatever happens I need to tell them.

"I-I-Its K-k-k-katheri-ine a-and J-John" I said looking down.
