Amongst the Chaos

Nightmares & Pancakes

"Sleep well my Bambina" I placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, she tensed a little which surprised me but then again she had only just met me. I watched as she left my office and I thought to myself...

What has happened to my precious sorellina?

Once I closed the door to Luca's study I made my way to my room as quickly as possible. I made sure to remember where it was after my altercation with Dante. Once I was in the safety of my room I let out the breath which I didn't realize I was holding. While they are my brother's they still make me incredibly nervous. I don't know how well I can hide my past without them noticing which is worrying.

I hobbled over to the bathroom, grabbing my t-shirt and shorts for bed on the way. Hoping a quick shower will wash away some of the worries from my mind and relax me for a peaceful sleep...although I knew that was unlikely to happen.

"BITCH"  Steven was furious, I've never seen him so mad over dinner before. I scrambled to my feet and was about to make a run for it when I felt a force knock me down...it was Steven. He had kicked me down by my back.

"Ahh Stop please! I-I'm sorry I'll make it now  j-just please let me go!" I begged pathetically when he wrenched me up by my hair, I desperately tried to relieve some of the pain by holding myself up but it was no use, It felt as though my scalp was on fire.

"Oh, now she'll make my dinner she says, it should have been ready when I walked through that door"  He threw me back down but not before striking me hard across my face.

I lay their pain radiating through my body, this couldn't get any worse I thought to myself...Oh how wrong I was.

"YOU - WILL- COOK - MY - DINNER - NOW - BITCH -" He punctuated each word with a kick to my body. I couldn't move, I couldn't think, all I could do was focus on the pain, not only the physical pain but the emotional scars this monster left behind with each kick, slap, punch, cut, and bruise.

Just as I attempted to pick myself up off of the ground Steven had grabbed a beer bottle and proceeded to smash it over me, sending my body tumbling back down to the ground. I felt shards of glass sink into my skin on my back and on my arms.

"AHHH no please stop" I cowered on the floor in a fetal position, protecting myself the best I could, all I could hear was a laugh, this monster enjoyed the pain and misery he inflicted on me...and that left my stomach churning.

I mustered enough courage to look up at the man standing above me only it wasn't Stephen....it was Luca

"L-Luca? What are you d-doing?" My tears were flowing uncontrollably now.

"Giving you what you deserve you worthless bitch" He sneered at me, he looked just like Steven...a Monster.

Just as he was about to strike another blow.....I jolted awake with a scream.

"Oh no no no" I whispered to myself, I silently prayed no one heard me. Sadly that was not the case as I heard panicked footsteps approach my room.
