ALICE ROMANO
I was sitting counting numbers when I hear footsteps approaching. I look up to see that it is a guard.
He comes closer to me I move back but I know I can't do anything there is nothing I could do to protect myself from them.
He approaches me and fishes something from his pocket and takes out a black cloth and leans down and ties the cloth on my eyes.
Now everything is blank I couldn't see anything though there isn't much to see but I atleast could see what was going on.
I don't know what kind of torture is this.
I was scared that this man would do something inappropriate to me. My breath quickens at this and I panic.
But I hear the footsteps retreating back to the door and I calm myself down at least he isn't going to do anything I sighed in relief.
But why would they blindfold me what is going on what are they going to me.
I heard footsteps approaching me
The door opens and closes.
"Hello" a man says
I don't say anything
I don't know what is going on what does he want. He isn't Igor and I don't think he is one of the guards who is he?
What is he going to do to me?
He comes to me and slaps me. I don't let a sound out my mouth.
He doesn't do anything for a while he is silent. I can't figure out what he is thinking because of this blindfold.
He starts walking in the room 2 minutes later he comes again and starts to torture me but I can't understand why I have been blindfolded.
He starts with kicking me with his heavy boots all over my body.
He stops for a while and starts to whip my back saying
"It's all Steve Romano's fault you are here" he keeps repeating it while me whips me I was silently counting in my mind the number of whips landing on my back
After 20 whips he stops I was relieved thinking 'finally its over'
"Its not over yet. Steve Romano sent you here and we will make you suffer" he says and stabs a knife in my thigh
The pain was unbearable a tear went down my left eye wetting the blindfold
*The view changes*
I was in the basement
I was beaten and bruised blindfolded that man again in the basement
He starts beating me
"You were sent here by Steve Romano" he repeats
I was blindfolded and I couldn't see but I could hear and I could register his voice and his scent
He tortures me a little by now I was used to this torture sessions. This man came here at least 5 times as far as I can remember I can remember his scent and his evil voice.
He starts to undress me I hold my breath bracing myself for his evil deeds.
He stabs my arm and cut my back slowly
I wake up with a jolt looking around realizing I am in Alex's room I calm down, I look to my side and see Noah there I couldn't hold myself
I jump on him hugging him and telling him some parts of my nightmare.
He asks if I want to go to his room I say yes we go to his room and hug each other and fall into dreamless sleep
*next morning*
I go to my room to bath and fresh up
I change into Arthur's hoodie and a black legging and go to the dinning area.
All of the elder one's and Noah are already drinking coffee
"Good morning " I say
"Good morning bambina" Elijah says
"Good morning Magnolia" Ace says
The others nod saying good morning
Arthur looks at me "Is that my hoodie?" he asks
"Yes I-" I pause for a moment will he kill me now that I took his hoodie?
"I like your hoodies so I took a few of them " I said
"OK" He says
Is he seriously ignoring the fact that I took his clothes.
"what do you want to eat bambina"
"Pancake" I say I love pancakes
"Ok then pancakes it is. Give me 10 minutes" he says
As Elijah gives me 2 pancakes with nutella spread and banana on it
Nate and Issac come down
"Good morning" they say together
"Good morning"
I start eating my beautifully decorated food
Ace clears his throat gaining our attention.
I look at him too wondering what is this about.
"Our family is coming today at dinner time" he says
"Family?" I ask while Issac and Nate are smiling stupidly.
"Yes our grandparents, uncles and their families" he says
"oh" I say and look down at my plate
I don't know them I don't know anyone.
I look up and see all of them looking at me "How many uncles do we have?"
"3" Arthur says
"How many cousins?" I ask
"We have 10 cousins bambina" Elijah says
"ok" I take a bite of my delicious pancake
"How many girls?"
"we don't have female cousins" Ace says
wow
"does that mean I have 17 brothers now?" I ask
"Yes" Ace says "Are you uncomfortable about this? "
I don't know what to say
"We can tell them to come later" Elijah says
I look at Alex he is already looking at me.
"I-"
"They all love you they are waiting to meet you" Alex says
"Are you sure" I ask him
he raises his eyebrow "yes they love you"
"And grandparents?" I ask
" They will kill Ace if we don't let them meet you" Elijah says
What is going on
Why do they want to meet me they don't even know me
I don't think they will like me
I don't think they would allow me to stay here
Will they tell Ace to get rid of me?
"Relax they wont do anything. They are coming today if you feel uncomfortable meeting them you can leave with one of the boys" Ace says
"Ok"
"Yessss we will enjoy our time with them" Issac says and Nate nods
I look at Noah he gives me a reassuring smile
I will just go with the flow
"Some of them are rude like Arthur but-" Arthur glares at Nate
Now I don't think they will like me
They are like Arthur not one of them but some of them?
Its really going to be a long day
