Damon

When I heard her scream, I was awake in my office going through papers while discussing some things with Diego, our very well known hacker. I didn't hesitate a second to turn off my phone and I ran to her room as a weird feeling settled itself in the pit pf my stomach.

Blake was there first and stood in the middle of her room as we all stared at our angel that was fighting against her demons. I hated it, we couldn't help her in this fight. all we could do is try and wake her up, which took us quite some time, but Blake was the one to succeed. He used his nickname for her. Lila. haven't heard that one in 10 years.

She was shaking and scared to death, just seeing this already me feel bad, but let me tell you that when I saw a purple bruise on her frail wrist, I couldn't have burnt the whole mansion down. Someone hurt her and is apparently still doing it through her nightmares.

A bruise. She was covered in them. Covered in cuts, burns, scars and pain. Her eyes aren't glowing like they did a few years ago, now they are empty and cold. Just like all of us. But I promise to myself that I will make that change. I will protect my baby girl. I will be better and get her to smile again. No more fear.

But first we had to take care of her pain. And as Leo intended to have a closer look at her, she passed out from the pain. I just gave Leo enough of time to look at her, and figure something out, because I trust him. Otherwise I would have raced to the hospital a long time ago.

"Fuck..." Leo mumbled as he looked at her stomach and ribs carefully.

"What is it Leo ?" I asked, worried.

"We have to get her to the hospital right now. It doesn't look good at all Damon..." he nearly whispered as I see guilt rise up in his greyish eyes, because he couldn't do anything to help her.

And as he said those words, I scooped up our princess bridal style as gently as I could. She had to be alright, we just got her back.

"Get the car ready Blake, you are the fastest out of all of us." I ordered to one of the twins, who immediately followed my instructions by leaving Magnolia's bedroom.

"We are here with you, you are not alone." I whispered to the tiny girl that was laying in my arms. So many times I have dreamt of seeing her again, just one more time after her "death", I guess my wish was heard and fulfilled. Even better. But I never expected to see her again, so broken, violated, hurt. Never in a million years.

I made sure to comfortably lay her in my arms as I climbed in the black Lamborgini Urus Blake was driving. He made sure to take a big car so she would have enough space, smart.

"Drive" I instructed my younger brother and he obeyed as he slammed his foot on the gas pedal. Not once had he lifted his foot from the pedal as we raced through the cars, on our way to the hospital.

During the ride as I was holding my little angel in my arms, I gently stroked her head and made sure to not get a look at the bruises that were covering her. These fucking Cambells they will learn what it means to mess with Us Knights.

When we arrived at the hospital, I didn't even wait for Blake to turn the engine off, as I swung the car door open and got out to head towards the entry of the hospital. by the way it wasn't any hospital. it was ours. Yes you heard me. We owned the place just like the rest of this town and even then that is only a small piece of what we own and control.

As I walked through the doors, people immediately got out of our way and looked down, probably too scared to face us. some of them dared to look at the girl that was in my arms and I could see the confusion on their faces.

"Where the hell is she ?" Blake growled lowly as he came to stand next me as we waited for that specific person. He was getting as impatient as me I swear.

And there she was. Our family surgeon, doctor, what ever you want to call her, but let me tell you she saved our lives a couple of times. She came running towards us a small smiles plastered on her face even though I could still see a little worry painted in her dark eyes.

"Give her to me !" She ordered, which angered me, but I knew she was just doing her job so I didn't say anything back. I just gave her a severe look, which she completely ignored. "I need a bed right now !" She yelled at a nurse that just walked passed her.

"What will happen right now ?" I asked Doctor Bonham and I made sure to cover my worry, because I couldn't afford to look weak in times like this.

"Well Liam called me minutes ago to tell me that the Magnolia Knight was actually alive, but severely hurt. He didn't give me a lot of information, but I don't think she is in big danger right now, so I will get her a bed, some sedatives and do some check up until she wakes up. I will keep you updated, but for now you two have to stay here and wait." she replied as she pointed at Blake and myself.

"I won't let her alone Bonham." Blake protested and I could see how he was clinging his jaw to keep his anger inside, something he still has to master. " You don't know in what state we found her. She is terrified."

Doctor Bonham gave him a warning look to not question her and Blake listened. I swear that if she wasn't the woman that helped our mother to give birth to all of us, she would have been dead right now.

We watched her leave through some big doors along with some nurses with our sister in her hands, both utterly worried of what would happen next.

Hours passed and Bonham updated us twice. Once to tell us that Magnolia woke up, but unfortunately we weren't able to see her, because of her state. She had to get operated and Bonham asked our permission for it. My heart froze when we heard that she had 2 broken ribs, one of them was in a dangerous place and had to get back in a safer spot. It was a simple operation, but it still angered me to think that our little sister somehow had to get through something so awful and we weren't there to protect her. The second time our doctor came to see us, was to say that she was finished and that everything went fine.

I let out a breath of relief when I heard that and so did my four other siblings. The rest of them joined Black and me as soon as I called them to let them know that she had to get operated. They were here in less then 5 minutes to support their sister, which made me smile on the inside, because it is the first time we have been this close since ten years. since our parents death.

"Were you guys able to talk to her when she came home ?" the doctor asked us after she finished giving us the details of the operation.

"Something happened in her foster home, we figured that one out, but she looks so terrified to speak" Greyson admitted and we all just nodded to his response. We didn't know anything. I even had some of my men search for the Cambells so they could bring them to me and I could make them pay, but they were gone. Disappeared. There was not even one trace of them, which made me think that we are dealing with a little bigger than just a simple foster family.

"With the results I got back, Magnolia was in a bad environment for more than just one year. And by the looks of her body, she was physically abused and malnourished for over five years. We don't know exactly how long, but maybe she will be able to tell you if she is confident enough to talk to you. You have to understand that it was a traumatic event for her, you will have to be patient and accept it" she sighted as our gaze crossed and she took a deep breath in. We were all silent by the destructive news and didn't know what to say. I could see she was fighting against herself to tell us something or not, so I pushed her a bit.

"Just spill it Boham." I said between gritted teeth, because I knew that this was probably a news worse than the ones we had before. And I was right.

"I believe that Magnolia was Sexually Abused."
