My words are stuck in my throat, making it impossible for me to defend myself from the familiar person who stood a couple of feet away from me.

I keep my head down as I feel his eyes and the eyes of the two other guys scan me from head to toe, clearly judging me in the worst way possible. I look horrible after all, I don't even wear nice clothes and I probably look like hell right now.

Hating this feeling of being watched, I wrap my arms tightly around my body to try and comfort myself, even if it makes more pain than good to my body. I am literally crushing my limbs and bruises, as I prefer feel physical pain than this mental discomfort about my body.

I suddenly sense a movement just behind me, immediately alerting me. I see out of the corner of my eye the figure of Ethan positionning himself right next to me, his arms crossed over his torso, as if he was trying to... protect me ?

"Don't you dare say those words to her ever again Damon." Ethan suddenly snaps, threatening the man if front of me that seems to be Damon. I slowly lift my eyes from the floor to look at the three guys in front of me, still scared to cross their gaze.

To my astonishment two of the boys look at me with curiosity, which replaces their previous disgusted glare. It's like seeing Ethan protect me, switches something inside of them. On the other hand, the eldest looked like he was going to explode.

"In my office right now." He growls to Ethan with a threatening voice, which makes me swallow hard. Please don't leave me alone.

Ethan doesn't argue with his brother and gives me a reassuring smile, completely ignoring my pleading look, asking for him to stay. Just then he follows Damon in the hall. My eyes sonny leave Ethan's back, as I see them both disappear behind a large door at the end of a corridor, which leaves me alone in the middle of a living room with two strangers who look oddly familiar.

"Who are you ? You're too young to be here." One of the guys suddenly asks me, breaking the couple secondes of silence. He looks into my green eyes with his similar ones but unlike my feared gaze, his is masked with an emotionless facade.

I am not even sure what I was supposed to answer to his question to be honest. I can't just be like blur out something in the lines of : "Oh yeah, so apparently I am your sister who came back from the dead ! Surprise !"

So instead I just think of telling my name, but just when I am about to do so, the front door brutally opens and slams shut a couple of seconds later. I jump at the sudden fear that bubbles inside of me, as I think back at the Cambells.

What if it was them ? I think to myself as my eyes only grow wider from the fear and anxiety that builds up in my already painful body.

"Why the FUCK did you interrupt me while I was in an important meeting Ethan ! I swear to god you better have a damn good reason for that otherwise I-" a boy, who looks exactly like Ethan, except he has black hair just like me, storms into the living room. He stops dead in his tracks as soon as his dark eyes fall on my small figure.

It looks like he lost the ability to speak when his strong gaze sticks to me like honey. A weird feeling settles itself in my stomach and I find the courage to look back at him, analysing every detail of his figure. From his perfectly cleaned black shoes, to his entire black suit, his sharp jawline and even to his multiple tattoos that cover his hands, everything gives him a sense of power.

His traits are shockingly similar to mine even though he seems a few years older that me. I feel like I have seen him before just like all the other guys but with him, something was different. I just can't figure out what.

My eyes fall on to something shiny that hangs loosely around his neck and I have to stop myself from letting surprise show on my features as I recognise the silver chain with the rectangle plate and initials. I lightly narrow my eyes to have a better look at the initials graved on the plate and what I see is far from what I expected.

M.K.

These are the initials that are elegantly graved onto that plate.

These were my fucking initials.

"Magnolia ?" Blake, the guy I briefly remember chocks out and takes a step closer to me, as if he can't believe what he is seeing. Pain is now evident in his eyes, instead of having an angry look like he had just seconds before. But what nearly sends me over the edge of fainting is the fact that he knows my name. It leaves me completely speechless and frozen on the spot, making me unable to respond to the previous question.

"What the hell Blake !" One of the unknown boys spits out, as if mentioning my name was an unforgivable act. He tries to gain the attention from Blake, but the latter doesn't even bother giving him a single glance as his eyes stay fixed on me the entire time.

Even I look at him with the best emotionless stare I can master and affirm to him stating my name with a small nod.

The room falls dead silent, tension so thick you couldn't even be able to cut through it with a knife.

And suddenly the door where Damon and Ethan disappeared behind, opens violently and I turns around to watch Damon come towards me with a glimpse of joy in his previous dark eyes.

I don't even have the time to react, before I am engulfed in the arms of this man I just met. I can't stop my body from tensing at this unknown act which he notices because he immediately lets go of me.

"Where were you all this time Angel ?" He whispers to me and intends to cup my face in his hands, but I unintentionally jerk back, away from him. What is going on ?

I look around me and see all their eyes glued to me. They look at me like, as if I was the biggest treasure ever found on earth. As if realisation that I am truly their sister just hits them full in their faces. What they don't know is that I am nothing like a treasure. I may appear all sweet and golden on the surface, but it's just a coat. Underneath is darkness, emptiness eating out the once very happy little girl. But they will figure it out one day or another, I am sure of it.

"WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU ALL THIS TIME !" Blake suddenly shouts, before slamming his fist on a glass table, which luckily doesn't shatter. I watch him come towards me, determination painted on his angered face.

"I-I don't k-know... I..." I whispered weakly with a shaky voice, unable to form coherent words, as his big figure approches me. He is going to hurt me. I think, before he suddenly stops at the words of his brother.

"Enough Blake." Ethan sternly says, coming between me and his twin. "Get your shit together ! You are scaring her, can't you fucking see that ? She just came back and you want her to leave again ?" He spits those last words out before forcefully pushing his twin away from me.

I watch as Blake's face stills in réalisions for only a second, before he clenches his fists and jaw, harshly glaring at his brother.

"Everyone sit down at the table right now !" Damon orders, making everyone stand still in their mouvements. I see the guys look down before following his order, while I just stand still in the middle of the living room not wanting in a million years to approach this table.

Damon slowly wraps a protective hand around my shoulder and starts walking with me towards the table were the guys are already seated. His touch is burning me and the only think I want to do right now is get away as quickly as I can.

"I am sorry for this angel." He whispers to me with a soft tone, before helping me to sit down on one of the expensive looking chairs. I slightly wince when I sit down which catches the attention of Blake that is sat across from me. I give him a small fake smile, even though I am absolutely terrified of him. He completely ignores my smile, staring at me intensely with a clenched jaw as if he was trying to figure me out.

"Magnolia." Damon says with authority, which made me shift all my attention to him, a sudden shiver running down my spine. "How come you didn't come to us before ?" There is a silence after he asks this question, because I have to form a coherent answer in my head to make sure I am not going to say something that could make them mad.

After finally thinking it through, I speak up quietly. "I didn't know you existed." I reply with shame as my head hangs low, so I wouldn't meet their gaze. I forgot everything about them...their existence... everything...

"What do you mean you didn't-" One of the guys who is sat next to me starts, but Damon cuts him off with a single hand gesture.

"Do you know who we even are ?" Damon asks as gently as he can, but I can still see right through him; anger boils inside of him and it gives out nothing good for me.

"My brothers... I think." I respond hesitantly. "I don't remember anything to be honest. I just know... your names" I say as I pointed my fingers to Damon, Ethan and Blake. I see hurt flash in the eyes of the two others, but it is quickly replaced by their emotionless look. Damon slowly nods his head, thinking and asking the two other boys to introduce themselves.

"I am Greyson. Only a year older than you." The boy who sits next to me says, keeping it short before giving me a kind smile. "And that's Leo. The doctor of this house, I would say" He introduced the other one, because he didn't even intend on introducing himself.

I give them a small nod before returning my gaze to my hands.

"Magnolia look at me." Damon asks me and waits for me to do so before continuing.

"Would you want to stay with us, or do you want to go back to your foster home, we understand if-"

"No." I immediately respond to his question, without waiting for him to finish. I already made up my mind the second I came here.

"What do you mean by no..." Greyson asks reluctantly as he looked at me with a pained look.

"I mean I want to stay... if that's okay..." A grin appears on each and one of their faces, excluding Blake's who still had his emotionless glare.

"Good, because I already made the call to your foster home to tell them you are not coming anymore. We finally have you back and I don't plan on letting you go anytime soon." Damon says while looking at me.

" Welcome back Angel."

What do you think of her brothers ?

Do you think they handled it well with her or were they scaring her, but not enough to make her go back the Cambells ?
