《De' Bardi Twins.》Chapter twenty-two.

"Honestly being a serial killer is easy when you're a woman" I argue crossing my legs into a butterfly position. Alexander rolls his eyes shaking his head.
"How so?" He questions pressing his lips into a thin tight line. I run my fingers through my hair curling it around my finger. Alex slumps down into his seat waiting for my reply.
"Fbi agents only suspect men before anything, just do what a man would do be sloppy and disgusting" I answer giving him a big smile.
"That's actually true" alex says more like if he's asking a question. I let out a laugh looking at his face. His eyebrows were furrowed with a small pout on his lips.
"How come I've never been caught before?" He questions folding his hands together before placing them on his lap. I titled my head sideways eying him waiting to see if he was serious or not. To my disappointment he also titled his head eying me back.
"My god your not joking?" I breathe out shaking my head. Alex sat up straight cracking his knuckles. I roll my eyes huffing at how stupid my brother is sometimes. The sad part is he has a higher iq than I do.
"We own the country and have police and the government eating out of our palms" i remind him. We're in charge not some president sitting in a office. They don't do shit unless we tell them to.
My eyes locked with Alex as we walked up the stairs to the de Bardi mansion. We arrived in Italy about two days ago but decided to stay low. I didn't want to go through with this and play family but we need to. Those files are to important to Alex as well to myself.
The sound of a door opening makes me snap out of my thoughts. Julio stood tall looking down at us. I guess Alex knocked without telling me. Would have been nice for a heads up.
"You guys came back!" He cheers pulling Alex into a tight hug. I put my hand over my mouth bitting my lip, attempting not to laugh at Alex face.
"Why are you touching me" Alex growls pushing Julio away dusting off his clothes. Julio brushed off my brother rude remark by turning his attention onto me. I immediately shake my head dismissing his thoughts about hugging me.
"No" was the only thing I said before he pulled me into a hug. I cringe as he tighten his hold on me.
"Woah there" Alexander fussed pulling me away from Julio to his side. Alex stares down Julio as he placed me behind him now. Julio shovels uncomfortably on his feet.

"Come inside it's raining!" Julio blurts waving his hand for us to follow. I elbow Alex side before walking inside. He pulled my hair on accident when he pulled me close to him.
"Kids your siblings are home at last!" He yells loudly causing me to cover my ears. Damn this bitch is louder than Lydia from teenwolf when she screams. My head hurts just thinking about her screams. I've always had Alex mute it when her part came on to scream.
"Alexandra ?" Brian comes into view as he called out my name in question. Alexander placed his hand on my shoulder as he eyed Brian. I roll my eyes at my brother jealousy. He's always believed I would leave him. I would never.
"It's good to see you" I reply stepping forward with Alex right besides me. Brian rushes down the stairs towards me. He pulled me into a bear hug making my face scrunched up. God I hate hugs unless it's Alex or Aurora hugging me.
"I knew you guys would come! I told dad not to unenroll you guys from school" Brian gushes clapping his hands as if he was a little kid.
"Fucking hell" Alex mutters under his breathe. I kick his leg holding back a laugh. Even though Alex is smart doesn't mean he enjoys going to school. Brian pulls my arm signaling for Alex to follow.
"I'm gonna kill myself" Alex grumbles next to me shaking his head. I huff bitting down on my lip trying not to laugh. He's so dramatic.
"Would you stop?" I whisper elbowing his side causing him to grunt out in pain. Brian looks back at us giving us a weird look. Oh god I'm gonna laugh . I'm aware no one said anything funny I just laugh at awkward moments.
We've been here for about five hours now just listening to Brian rambling about school. Supposedly Alex and I will be attending tomorrow with Brian and our other brother. I'm not gonna lie I forgot the guy name twice.
"Do you guys ever wish to be normal?" Brian blurts out causing me to choke on a cough . I start coughing as alex pats my back laughing.
"Normal?" I question letting out a shaky breathe. Brian slumped down into his seat nodding his head. Truthfully I don't understand what normal is this lifestyle has always been my normal. Thinking about having kids and getting married seems like a dream I'll never have.
"This is normal?" I say as if it is a question . Brian shakes his head as he played with his fingers.
"Normal is when we could go outside without bodyguards, or have a relationship with someone and not worry if they're gonna die because of you" he mumbles.

"We're all gonna die Brian the only thing is when" I answer pulling my hair up into a ponytail. It's always what if's when I wake up I'm not sure if Alex did die. My heart hurts knowing one day him or I will wake up and the other is dead.
We don't have eternal life, death is always waiting in our shadows. She knocks on our door quietly into we open it . I just pray I open the door before he does.
"It's late I'll let you guys change for bed and stuff good night" Brian says standing up. He leans down pressing a kiss on my cheek before waving good bye to Alex. I watched his figure leave our bedroom retreating to the darkness.
"I'm gonna change" I mutter pushing myself off the couch. Alex nods his head giving me a small smile. He's in his thoughts again. All I wish is to be able to take all his pain away for myself.
"Wake your ass up!" I growl shaking alex harder. All he does is let out another snore tossing onto his side. I let out a loud snort crossing my arms. Fucking hell I'm gonna kill him!
"ALEXANDER!" I scream into his ear as loud as I can. Alex jumps up breathing heavily.
"Shit what was that for?!" Alex yells back placing his hand over his heart. I bite down on my lip rolling my eyes.
" we have to go" I remind him completely ignoring his death glare. Alex looks down at his watch whining about how it's so early.
"Why do we wake up five hours earlier than we're supposed to?" Alex whines throwing himself back onto the bed. I shake my head zipping up my jacket.
"We have to go for a run before we hit the gym with Rafael" I implied handing Alex his jacket. He grumbles as he took the thin white jacket from my hands.
"Don't whine Alex it's our job to be fit" I remind him flashing him a small smile. Alex never wanted to be a assassin. I however enjoy being one killing brings me joy. Watching the life drain from their eyes is so fascinating.
I guess that's why I picked slicing their throats. Alex chose shooting from far away so he doesn't have to watch it. He never understood my craving for blood lust.
I huff as Rafael hit my jaw. My hands balled up into a fist as my jaw clenched. He hit me without fucking warning .
"Come on Alex we both know no one is ever gonna wait into your ready" Rafael reminds me as he threw another punch. This time I dodged it. I threw a punch hitting him square in the stomach. He let out a groan allowing me to hit him again in the jaw twice as hard.
"Come on Rafael no one gonna wait for you're ass" I mock him with a smug smile placed on my face. His jaw clenched as he tried throwing another punch, I obviously dodged making him miss.
I bent my knees slightly as I twisted my hip sideways striking him again. Throwing my hands up as I cheered oblivious to the fact Alexandra presents. My head threw back causing me to fall due to the pounding of her sicking strong hit.
"Not so cocky now are we Alex?" She giggles standing over me. I roll my eyes at my twin sister bright smile. She hands me her hand helping me up. My smile had now dropped replaced with a scowl.
"I just won Drina I could have been heading home!" I whine pushing my hair out of my face. Alexandra rolls her eyes as she jumped up and down.
"We have news on him" she sings spinning around. My eyes widen not believing her words. I've wait years for anything now all of a sudden we got news?
"Cross your heart and mine?" I ask eagerly waiting for her to reply. She nods her head
"Cross my heart and yours". I immediately threw my arms around my sister hugging her tightly. I've finally get peace.
"I'm so happy for you Alex I really am" she mutters in my ear. I nod my head tightening my grip on my sister. The horrors of when I was eight flashed through my mind. Just thinking about her being missing scares me more than the memories of getting raped.
"Let's get back to the house before they notice we're gone" Alexandra says pulling away. I nod my head giving her a small smile. Her smile dropped as she looked at my face. She brought her thumb up to my cheek wiping away a tear I didn't notice. My heart dropped watching her look down at her thumb that was now wet due to my salty tears.
"Alex he can't hurt you or me" she says slowly. I nod my head taking in her words. He can't hurt my sister, sadly he already hurt me everyday I open my eyes or close them.

Blaze
The story of a fire elemental's life in a world dominated by mages. He will have to learn how to manage betrayals, treachery, and maybe even love as he goes on adventures to find a meaning to it all. From dark, humble beginnings he will rise... or fall, devastating amounts in his journey across the world. Hello, Author here! I am, unfortunately, rather terrible at coming up with descriptions that seem to have the right amount of decorum and yet actually serve their function of adequately describing the story, so here's the coursenotes. - The story follows a fire elemental. (As you can tell from that, it is heavily besed on fantasy with mages and the like. Technology will not feature prominently) -As mentioned in the tags, this will have game-like aspects. (E.G. levels, stats. I will be trying to put my own twist on this notion however, so bear with me if the premise intrests you but you despise LitRpg) -It'll get rather dark, but not devastatingly so. (I'm trying to write a more complex story so it will have its dark moments, the prologue being one of them. Rest assured the whole story will not be this dark, though I'll make sure that no-one is a saint either) -The protagonist/protagonists will not be a Mary-Sue. (The plural will be understood when I'm further into the story. They also won't be impossiby unlikeable such as those in many Light novels.) -There is no prophecy (Anyone who says there is, is lying, trust me.)
