You lying whore
Her voice echoed in my ears, raw and fresh. His touch still lingered on my skin. The sound of his belt hitting my back. Everything was there, it was all back. The parts of me that I had hid away because no one believed them. No one cared.
"Alora" A distant voice calls, making me flinch back. They even took my name away from me, they took everything from me.
"Alora" the voice closed in and I hear footsteps. "Oh god, are you okay?" That voice louder than all others. I slowly opened my eyes to see his icy blue eyes, those eyes could kill. Elias reached out his hand but I flinch back. "Okay, okay" He says backing away a bit. "Your okay, Your safe" he says looking straight at me, talking to all those voices in my head, talking to all those touches. "Should I get your brother's?" He questions making me shake my head. I wanted to be alone.
"Do you need a hug? My mom says hugs always make things better" He whispers his cold eyes melting a little. I don't need his pity and neither do I need his comfort but deep down I knew that I just needed someone. So, I nod and he moves closer slowly as if giving me time to change my mind. "I still hate you" I mumble watching him sit beside me.
"I know" His whisper is soft a flower petal, I turn and lean into his warm embrace. Resting my head on his shoulder I close my eyes as I find the voice's disappearing slowly but some remained. I leaned closer as Elias hugged me back resting one hand on the back of my head and his other hand rubbing my back softly. "You're okay, you're safe. No one can hurt you now" he continues his whispers making me fall into darkness.
"Why are you holding my sister like that?" A voice yells in a distance but I couldn't open my eyes, it felt like they were glued together. "One minute you hate each other, and the next you're hugging. What kind of enemies are you two?" Another voice says but I find myself drifting away from them, drifting into a darkness that I wasn't familiar with.
(A/N - Flashbacks)
"How can someone be so pathetic?" Father spat glaring at me.
P-Pat...Pwathetic? What was that?
"P-Pwathetic, what's that dad? '' In response I felt a sharp sting on my cheek that brought tears to my eyes as I looked at dad.
"Ugh, you're five. Grow up. It's pathetic and I am not your dad. Understand" Dad said in a very scary way. Why did he say he was not my dad? I look down, maybe he was mad or that big word mom says,
d-disappointment. Maybe he is disappointed in me but I don't know what that means?
----
"Why are you such a disappointment?" Mother yells at me throwing away all the food I spend hours making. I thought maybe if I made her food she would be proud but as always I disappointed her.
"I-I made y-your favorite, t-to make y-you happy" I stutter making her face scrunch up in disgust.
"Your twelve for god's sake, LEARN HOW TO TALK" She yells making me flinch as tears fall from my eyes. Would she leave me with those men again...I don't wanna go there.
Mother grabs my arm, her nails digging in my skin as I bite back a scream. She drags me up in the attic and pushes me in. It was really cold.
"Tonight, you're staying here" She glared walking out locking the door. I run and bang my fist on the door "Please, I-I am sorry. P-Please" But no one heard, no one heard. I look back as the darkness swallows the room. I keep knocking on the door hoping someone, anyone would hear. Mother always leaves me here for more than a day. She forgets she locked me here. Tears dropped from my eyes as my body begged for something warm but I kept knocking the door. Someone would hear. They had to.
-----
"Come out, come out. Where are you Alora darling" His taunting voice makes me shrink under the bed even more. I shake in fear, this was his games-
"Found you" I hear his voice behind me making me stiff. His hand grabs my hair roughly as he pulls me out, "Well, we have a long, long night. Don't we?" His smile mocking as he begins unbuckling his belt.
I knew what would happen, I knew he'd leave me in a puddle of my own blood like he always did.
-----
I sit up with tears making everything go blurry. I blinked a few times. I sigh realizing the settings of my own room.
Do you like this?
I freeze looking around, his voice. His touch. I ran inside the bathroom, removing my clothes. I find myself sitting in the bathtub scrubbing my skin harshly. Trying. Trying to remove his touch. His hands.
I scrubbed harder and harder until my skin turned red and started burning but his touch was still there, it never went away no matter how much I scrubbed.
Was that fun?
I got out, wrapping my body with a towel. Sitting down I leaned back against the tub as more tears formed and fell. The urge to scream takes over me, with shaking hands I fold my shirt into a ball and put it in my mouth and let out a muffled scream and the sobbing starts. I never realized how long I sat there crying and screaming until I heard dad's voice.
"Alora, you okay? It's dad. I um.. brought dinner. Luca told me what happened and I'm not mad. Please come out, I'm worried" He says "uh.. if you don't want to that's okay. I am leaving it here, wait what if she is sleeping" I hear his voice fading as I let out a muffled scream for him to hear but he doesn't.
-----
"Okay, Alora. I'm really worried now. Please sweetheart. Open the door". Dad's voice is distant as I sit in the same, my body shaking as tears keep rolling down my cheeks but my mind feels fogged by those words, those touches, those memories.
I hear a click in a distant "Alora, Alora" I hear dad call but I felt too tired to scream, too tired to do anything. "Al- Oh my god" I hear shuffling next to me. Lifting my head slowly I see a blurred figure. "Alora" His voice filled with pain. So much pain. Slowly he pulls the shirt out and pulls me in his embrace.
"Dad's here, you're okay. I won't let anyone hurt you" His promises are distant as the screams come back, the tears roll faster and sobs. Dad continued holding me tight as I cried. His embrace was warm and safe as if no one could hurt me. Eventually the tears stopped and so did the shaking but the voice's never stopped, the touches never stopped.

Nicolo P.O.V
Something soft touches my head and it starts massaging my hair making me smile as I open my eyes only for them to land on my beautiful wife. She looks down smiling at me as I lay in her lap.
"What are you thinking about?" I question as she smiles "Children" she says in her soft voice making me frown
"Children?" I question making her nod. "I want a girl" she says with an excited voice making me smile "Yes, my princess" she chuckles at my words. A sound that makes my heart beat even faster. This is the women I fell in love with.
"Yes, I wanna pamper her with gifts, spoil her with love. I want her to live her life, enjoy every second of it" She smiles "You would be an amazing mother" I say pecking her lips as she blushes "Promise. You would be an amazing father"
"Promise" I ask, making her laugh. "We would love them" She smiles "Both of us, always" I whisper a promise in my voice as she nods.
"I love you, only you" She whispers as she leans in joining our foreheads together
"I love you, only you" I whisper back.
I gasp sitting up. Closing my eyes I take deep breaths, reopening them I look to find myself in my daughter's room. I looked beside me at her peaceful state but then I remembered her screams, the screams that would haunt me forever. Her cries, the cries that bring tears to my eyes.
What happened to your promise Serine?
What happened to you?
What did you do to her?
