Damon smiled as he watched the couple leave. It had taken less than an hour to bankrupt Brittneys parent's. They would have to sell their house and downsize to a regular sized house, they would have to pull Brittney out of school as they wouldn't be able to afford it.

He wished he could see her reaction to her parents telling her how they lost their money.

Maybe he should visit the school purely to see if his brothers and sister were getting the education they needed. He knew Adrian and Zach were visiting tommorow, he could go with them. The aftermath of Brittney finding out could be exciting.

At school

Emilia used her notebook still but she was going to start talking to her friends. She had already spoken to Antonio, it wasn't that hard.

Classes went by quite fast and soon it was lunch time. Antonio and Emilia made it to the cafeteria, Emilia whispering her replies, not wanting to be heard.

When they entered, they so saw a crowd of people swarming in the middle. "I wonder what happened" Antonio said knowing it was a fight but not knowing what it was about.

Sophia came rushing to them when she saw them enter "you will never guess what just happened" she rushed.

"Tell us" Antonio replied.

"Ok so their is some new kids, everyone knows your brother's are the ones not to mess with and in our year group Luca and his friends are not to be messed with. Anyone I think the new kids know Dante and Matteo, but they challenged your brothers and naturally they sorted them out, only one of them got knocked into Luca causing him to spill his food. So after fighting with your brothers, they are now fighting with Luca " Sophia explained.

"Come on we can see it better over there" Sophia said grabbing Emilia's hand and dragging her to where their other friends were watching from.

The scene before them was quite calm for a fight.

Matteo and Dante were talking to each other quietly. On the floor was one of the new kids, he was unconcious at the moment.

In the other end, Luca had his friends hold the second new kid whilst he best him up.

It wasn't that he was pissed at the split food but the boy had a nerve to threaten him too.

"Should we put a stop to it" Matteo asked. They knew one of the new kids worked for Damon so no doubt they would all be getting in trouble.

"Wasn't there three of them" Dante asked looking around for the third.

The third was the one who worked for Damon, he was watching his friend get beat up, one was unconcious. It wasn't like he was a bad friend but he knew what Dante and Matteo were capable of so he never challenged them. Eventually he decided his friends had learnt a lesson.

He spotted Emilia in the crowd. The twins were often talked about alot amongst the younger members, the long lost sisters, who Damon would do anything for...well that was partly true as the rumours had spread around quick about the elder twin, some say he killed her, others say he tortured her, and finally he took pity on her and let her go.

"I suggest you stop the fighting now" he finally said once he had moved, he now stood in front of Emilia, a firm grip on her unbroken arm. He twisted it when no one stopped instantly.

Dante looked over not realizing he had their sister.

"You dare threaten me with my sister, I'm not even fighting" Dante snapped.

Antonio saw the look of pain in Emilia's eyes, he was going to let her brothers handle it but he couldn't just do nothing and let her get hurt so he punched the boy in the face. He let go instantly, even stumbled back and finally held his nose.

Matteo and Dante snickered, both mildly impressed by Antonio. Emilia turned and hugged Antonio with her one hand, Antonio returned the hug with both arms wrapped around her.

"Make sure her hand is okay" Dante told Matteo as he glared at the boy who was holding his bloody and broken nose.

"Come Emilia, we need to check that wrist of yours" Matteo said and walked over to the table he knew her and her friends always sat at.

Her friends all seemed to follow and all were concerned which he found sweet.

"It's quite bruised, how the hell did he bruise it this much" Matteo said clenching his fists.

She was aware Damon had caused a little bruising the other night but it wasn't his fault, due to being malnorished, she bruised very easily.

"we are going to the school nurse" Matteo said taking her bag from her.

He then helped her up and led her down the corridors to the school nurse.

"Um Matteo" Emilia whispered when she saw no one was about.

"Yeah" he asked looking down at her.

"Can we not go to the nurse"

"No we need to, it could be sprained or anything, he only had hold of you for a second it so I don't get how it can be this bad"

"Damon might have grabbed it last night" she confessed quietly.

"What!"

"I'm sorry, please can we not go. I don't want to get him in trouble"

"I'm afraid we have to go, you need it checked out"

Mason sat next to Emilia as the nurse exsmed her wrist. "Its just badly bruised, a bit of ice and it should go down" the nurse concluded.

"Great. Thank you for your help " Matteo replied. Emilia nodded in agreement to Matteo's comment.

"Is still lunch time, why don't you both go get some lunch" the nurse said.

When they got back the cafeteria was as normal, like nothing had happened. "I know you feel more comfortable with your friends but come sit with me today?"

Emilia nodded, she didn't want to leave Matteo just yet.

"Great, I'll get you some lunch,go sit with Dante"

Emilia didn't want to go to the table alone though so she followed Matteo. Matteo got the message, whilst queueing up, he took out his phone and messaged Dante.

Dante never replied to the message, instead he stood up and went over.

"So obviously you don't want to sit with our friends, let's go find a table Emilia" Dante said giving Matteo a little nod.

Dante led Emilia to a table in the corner. "I want to apologize, we should never have started that fight" Dante said as they sat down.

Dante knew he wouldn't get a reply so he did the talking.

"They arrived here the day after you got suspended, don't worry though they won't bother you again" Dante reassured her.

Matteo soon came back with some food.

"Here you are Emmi" he said placing down her food in front of her.

She felt bad that they weren't sat with their friends. Matteo quickly picked up on this though "don't feel bad, we prefer sitting with you than our friends" he told her.

"Yeah besides we can sit with them tommorow, you will no doubt be back with your friends tommorow"

"Yeah, you have the privilege of sitting with us" Matteo said dramatically making Emilia smile.

She quickly wrote a thank you, ot hurt slightly but she didn't bother complaining.

"That's a nasty bruise Em" Dante stated looking at part of it. He carefully lifted her sleeve and gasped when he saw the full bruise.

"I'm going to kill him" he muttered.

"Just leave it Dante" Matteo said knowing it was Damon and it was obvious Emilia didn't want Dante knowing just yet.

"Fucking bastard" Dante said but dropped the topic.

The day passed quickly after that, lunch ended and they went their separate ways until the end of day.

Class was uneventful for Emilia and she was quick to get the work done.

She was glad when she finally got in Dantes car.
