I repeatedly shake my head no in answer to Damon's question.

"We won't hurt you." Blake says as he sits back down on the bed next to me. I don't trust his words even if his eyes look at me with such a sincere expression.

"Let us just check if you are okay, Angel. If you are not hurt, we will leave you alone, but first we need to make sure everything is fine, which probably isn't by the way I see you holding your stomach." He stats in a deep voice that let's me know that I shouldn't fight against him. But because I am stubborn I still fight.

"I am telling you I am fine. My stomach just hurts a bit because I have my period." I make up this lie as I look straight back at Damon.

"Fine. But can you explain those fucking bruises on your arm ?" Blake spits back as he stares at my very visible bruises. " Who was that Magnolia." At this moment the rest of the brothers storm back in, but I keep my gaze on Blake. They probably eavesdropped this conversation anyway.

I stare into the eyes of the brother that I used to be the closest to when I was younger, when suddenly a memory pops up in my head like a light bubble.

I take a step forward with shaking legs. I slowly breath in and out as I try not to fall down this high tree where I had the good idea to climb on. I hear someone yell. Blake.

"Magnolia !"

As my eyes look for him, I don't concentrate and my foot slips and I loose my balance on this fine branch. Just in time I grab the branch with my tiny hands, which stops me from crashing down on the grass. I hear Blake yell once again and fear floods over me. It was such a bad idea. Now I am holding onto the tree, my two legs hanging over the void with only my small hands to keep me up.

"Blake !" I cry out for help, as I feel my grip on the brach slowly loosen. I look down and see him standing right under me, ready to catch me.

"I got you Lila. I promise" he says with a small smile to try and reassure me, as he extends his arms.

"No I can't ! I am scared Bee." I cry out and look up to try and find something better to hold on to.

"Remember what I keep telling you, Angel." He says with assurance. "I want you to say it."

"The world can fall appart, but you will always be there to protect me." I whisper the words he told me already so many times. So as I let the words sink in, I slowly let go of the branch I was holding.

I close my eyes as I fall and expect to hit the surface, but it never happens.

"Told you Angel." Blake whispers with a small chuckle, as I actually feel his arms holding me firmly. I open my eyes and look at the young Blake that stopped my body from crashing on the ground.

His apple green eyes have sparkles of joy in them as they stare back at me.

I blink a couple times, before looking again at the eyes of Blake. There are nothing like the memory I just had. All the happiness is gone, replaced by darkness and coldness. And without thinking I say these worlds out loud, which completely changes the look in Blake's eyes.

"The world can fall appart, but you will always be there to protect me."

I whisper as exhaustion takes over me, nothing holding back the tears I have been keeping in for so long. I want to give in.

These words make the room go silent and everybody stands still, not daring to make a move. The pain increases and I pull the covers even higher up my body to try and comfort me, as I Strat to get cold. I see Damon giving a look at Ethan and Blake and suddenly both of them are on each side of my bed.

"Hold her down." Damon odrers, I don't even have the time to fight as their strong arms pin my legs and arms down on the bed. The covers are pulled away from me, leaving me uncovered. My purple legs are showing and I squirm under the tight grip of the boys to escape, but it's impossible, they are too strong and my stomach hurts horribly.

"Lift her shirt up." Damon blankly orders again, and they execute his order to expose my damaged body. There is nothing to cover me anymore.

I hear both of my brothers inhale a sharp breath as they immediately let out a low growl and curse words

Tears fall. My tears.

A hand slowly traces my bruises and I look up to see them all furiously staring at my scares that cover my arms, legs and stomach.

"Who. Did. that. " Blake growls as he pauses at each words to take in a deep breaths. I can feel him shaking from all the anger he keeps inside of him.

I wait a few seconds, before finally releasing the secret I have kept for such a long time to myself.

"Cambells" I whisper as I sob uncontrollably. My head tells me to make the tears stop and to stop exposing myself so much, but my body and heart don't listen. They are feeling safe. Something they have been waiting for long time.

"Those fucking bastards !"

"Your fucking foster parents." Damon whispers as I see him sit down next to me and gently takes ahold of my arm to examine it. But as he does that, pain shoots through my ribs and stomach, which makes me curl up in a ball and I bite my lip so hard that I taste blood in my mouth.

"Angel ? What is it, talk to us." Damon worriedly asks as I take deep breaths to try and calm down. "Leo what is going on ?" Damon growls as he seems me in pain and asks his medical brother to explain.

"Magnolia I need you to lay down correctly so I can examine you." Someone which I assume is Leo asks.

"It hurts" I cry out.

"I know Angel, but I need to have a look at you to figure out what is wrong." he insists and I do as he says. And without thinking I grab ahold of the first thing that comes across my hand, which ends up being Damon's big hand. He rubs smoothing circles with his thumb as I fell an other hand slowly stroke my hair.

"It doesn't look good at all. We need to bring her to the hospital, Right NOW." Leo states with fear evident in his voice.

"They will pay for this. I swear" I hear Blake's words, but as he speaks it seems like the words are fading away by the second, and without really realising it my eyes fluter closed and I end up in a peaceful darkness.

We are here.
