The abandoned girl

three

*evelyn*
When the plane landed, my brothers stood up with the two intimidating men behind them. Antonio walked up to me and gently pulled me up. He guided me all the way out of the plane. Probably to make sure I don't run away.

He followed our brothers up the stairs of a really nice house. Guards opened the door for us and we walked inside-well more like I got dragged inside. We turned the corner and continued walking straight until we took a right.

The kitchen.

Antonio sat me down on a chair and then they all stared at me. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat before looking at the floor, suddenly finding it very interesting. "So.." Matteo cleared his throat. I looked up, meeting his eyes and watched as they darted over to Alexandro.

Alexandro pulled out a piece of paper. "We have some rules that I expect you follow." He said, keeping eye contact. I nodded. He set the paper of rules down facing me so I could read them.

Rules:
1. Never talk back

2. Speak verbally

3. Keep eye contact whilst talking with us

4. When you leave the house you must have a guard with you

5. No drugs

6. No drinking

7. No boyfriends or boys

8. Listen to us and respect us

9. If something happens tell us

10. Do NOT go on the third floor.

11. No fighting

12. Good grades/do well in school

13. no attitude

14. most of all- respect yourself

"Questions?" Alexandro asked once I was done reading. I shook my head. "Right. Well. I expect you to follow each rule. If not then you will be punished." He continued. I nodded. I might break a rule or two. "Matteo? Show her, her room." He stated, though it sounded more of a demand.

Matteo nodded while raking a stressed hand through his messy hair and signaled for me to follow him. I went to protest but the look he gave me made me follow in silence. I will not have them shove me around like some dog. I am their equal, I am their family- not some slave.

We walked up a flight of stairs. "The second floor is where all the rooms are. This," he points to a bedroom door with an 'ALK' on it. "This is Antonio's room." We walked past it. "This one-" he nodded his head to the left gesturing to a door with the initials 'MJK' carved inside, "this is my room."

We walked further down the dim hallway and stopped abruptly. "This one is Alexandro's room." Was all he said. I looked over to see and double doors that have 'AEK' carved within the wood. I nodded. He pointed to another room slightly across Alexandro's. "That's Henry's room." He said with a small shrug.

He grabbed my hand and past two bedroom doors. He stopped at the one all the way down the hallway. It had 'EMK' printed across the door. "This, this is your room. The other two are off limits. The rest are open for if you need someone to talk to." He informed before turning away.

I opened my bedroom door and shut it behind me before looking around. The walls were painted a nice shade of grey, and the hard wood floors had a white fluffy carpet laid across it. My bed consisted of a queen sized bed on a bed frame that had wooden pieces on each corner that shot straight up, holding a light pink canopy. The bedding had a matching light pink duvet neatly put onto place with grey pillows and a few white fluffy throw pillows.

At the end of the bed there was a throw blanket that matched the throw pillows but it had my initials sewed onto it. I looked over at my dresser and saw a huge mirror built into the wall above it with lights that made it into its own vanity. On my bedside tables laid a vanilla sent candle with a pack of matches neatly placed beside it while on the other laid a few books and they both had lamps.

I walked inside my closet and it was huge. A huge space for clothes to be hung up and a empty compartment for shoes. There are also built in dressers for other clothes. It's nice. I walked out and walked towards the last door that still remained closed.

A bathroom.

A nice bathroom.

The theme matched my bedroom, walls painted grey and the counter was a grey marble. The floor was a nice oak wood and in front of the sink a white fluffy mat was placed down. The shower curtain was a light pink with my initials printed across in black lettering. There was also a separate bath beside the shower.

On the toilet seat sat a fluffy white cover and before the toilet there was another fluffy white mat. Near the sink, beside the counters there were huge compartments that were completely empty. I looked down to see six drawers.

Okay so my room was nice.

I walked out into my bedroom again and started to unpack. I put my winter clothes in my dresser in my room and put my summer clothes into the drawers in my closet along with my shoes, dresses, sweatshirts and other things that can be hung up.

I put my perfume, makeup,  and other little nicknacks on my vanity. I went into my bathroom and put all my hair products into one compartment. In the other I put all my facial stuff, consisting of scrubs, washes, masks, and even oils.  I opened a drawer and put pads inside, I closed it and opened the one right below and placed my hair brush, toothbrush, toothpaste and mouth wash inside before closing it.

I also placed my deodorant and other brand new perfumes inside the one drawer to the left. I opened one cupboard to find body towels, robes, hair towels, wash-clothes and even a body luffa with my initials sewed into the fabrics. I placed Q-tips and cotton swabs along with the first aid kit on one shelf before I shut my bathroom light off.

The last thing that needed to be unpacked was my stuffed animal. I grabbed it from my suitcase and placed it in the middle of my bed. Its a grey bunny with my name on the belly. I don't remember where I got it but I've had it all my life. I slid my suit cases under my bed and light my candle.

After I was completely finished with unpacking my limbs were sore. I changed into pajamas-a laced tank top and laced shorts- before pulling my hair into a messy bun and slid under my duvet. I shut the lamps on my bedside tables off before getting cosy.

I cuddled up to my pillows and held my bunny, who I forgot to mention I named Lottie close and slowly I fell asleep.

A/N: Hi:), My name is Zoey. I hope you like my story so far, if not thats okay too. This is my first book I'm actually publishing and keeping published.
