Trust..it's a foreign word for me. I've trusted people in the past which only left me to get hurt. I've gone through so much in my life that I don't think I'll ever trust again. Knowing what people can do with your secrets and trust is just scary at a certain point. I haven't really trusted anyone since them. Them also known as Amy and Atlas.

Amy and Atlas were the only people who knew about the abuse and believed me. They helped me with my wounds and they tried to get me help but no one would believe us. We all promised that we'll never leave each other or lose contact, but then one day Atlas and his family just disappeared. Well disappeared not really but Atlas' family got a job somewhere else and moved away. Atlas didn't say goodbye to us because he found it to painful. Which hurt Amy and I more then everything.

About a month after Atlas left, Amy and I tried to move on. We didn't have a phone or address so we couldn't keep in contact with Atlas which sucked. How Amy "died" is one hell of a story to tell. I could never leave my house unless for school and grocery shopping. So when our teacher told us we needed to do a project together, I had to sneak out. My "parents" somehow found me. Let's just say they weren't the happiest people alive. They bursted trough the door and tried to hit me. Amy's parents weren't having it and got in a fight. They tried calling the police and stuff.

To make it short, they knocked me out and later on tolled me that they killed them all. I still don't believe them. I tried looking for them and stuff, but found no evidence that they were either alive or dead. One night I did hear my " parents " talking about them, I think. It sounded that they were talking about them but I'm not sure. I couldn't hear the whole conversation. But I...I don't know. But I know they're not dead. I-

"Valentina!" One of my brothers snapped their fingers in front of my face to get my attention.

"Mmhm"

"You okay?" Another one asked. 

"Yeah, why"

"We've been trying to get your attention for 5 minutes" the same one, exaggerated.

"Oh, euhm sorry?" An awkward silence fell, not being able to be in this uncomfortable position anymore I decided to break it.

"so....what are your names?" I asked shifting my position in my chair, while looking at the rest.

Sadness came over their features knowing I don't remember them. Well can you really blame me I was 1 for gods sake.

My father cleared his throat before talking," yes, so I am your father Arsenio Hernandez and I'm 45 years old and these are all your brothers -" gesturing to all the boys "- boys introduce yourself oldest to youngest with age." My father had brown hair and brown eyes. Even with his age he looked fit and healthy. He is muscular and didn't have one grey hair. He had a few tattoos.

The oldest looking guy began talking. "I am Allesandro and I'm 24 years old" he looked being honest like a Greek god, hell all of these men do. He had brown hair and brown eyes. You could see the tattoos peaking trough the collar of his shirt on his neck. He was muscular and looked intimidating. He spoke with a cold tone which showed no emotion in them. Not gonne lie he scared me.

After him the person next to him started talking. " hi sorella, I'm Elijah and 23 years old. I missed you so much baby" he gave me a warm smile with love filling his eyes. He looked like a younger version of Allesandro, the same brown hair and eyes but with different features in his face. He was also muscular and had some tattoos.

(Sorella- sister)

"Hi neonata, I'm Lorenzo and I'm 21 years old"
He was scary like Allesandro, they were all scary but some faces became softer while Allesandro seemed happy but cold. He didn't want to show any emotions. I get it though I don't like showing certain emotions either. Lorenzo was also muscular with a lot of tattoos. He had the same brown hair but beautiful different green eyes.

(neonata- babygirl)

" hi tesoro, I'm Antonio and I'm 20 years old. You're so pretty baby" He said with a smile, I blushed a deep red while the others chuckled at me. He had brown hair with the same brown/hazel eyes. He was wearing a white short sleeve T-shirt, which made me able to see the long sleeve tattooed arm. He was also muscular.

(Tesoro- treasure)

"Blake, 18" Blake said with a nod. He has brown hair with the same beautiful green eyes just like Lorenzo. He had the same cold tone like Allesandro. And looked like you wouldn't even dare to mess with him. He also had tattoos and was pretty rude but never judge someone before you know them. So you know maybe if I get to know him better he might surprise me.

Lastly there were Xander and Xavier, they are identical twins who are 16 years old. They both had the same facial features with the same brown hair and hazel/brown eyes. Both muscular with a few tattoos.

They all looked at me expecting me to probably introduce myself. "Euhm hi, I'm Valentina and I'm 13 years old almost 14." Some gave me a small smile before turning back to their own conversations.

I looked out the window and let my thoughts wonder some more.
