Damien p.o.v

I can't explain my feeling right now.

Horrifying will be a slight term to describe it.

What just happened and what I just saw! Is enough to chill my blood.

Once Callie calmed down, she looked at her surroundings, Her eyes showed clear panic when she saw us.

I can two hundredth and ten percent guarantee that she never in her life expected this to happen. The pure shock in her face when she realized what happened told everything.

Diego reached for Callie's shoulder but she flinched and tried to move away as far as possible, her body trembling.

"Lia, it's okay, just calm down, everything's okay" Diego said gently.

"Focus on your breathing Lia" Victor spoke to her softly, before wrapping a arm around her shoulder gently.

She flinched, but didn't tried to get away from his hold.

I desperately want to rush towards her side and wrap her in my arms but fought the urge not wanting to panic her any further right now.

The most unexpected thing happened next.

Callie closed her eyes for few seconds trying to steady her breathing, but once she opened her eyes, her face was a blank mask.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you all" she spoke calmly.

WHAT THE FUCKING HELL!

Please! someone tell me that I am caught in some freakish nightmare. Beyond horrified, I took a glance at my brothers, they also mirrored my same shocked expression.

"Explain" Victor spoke looking at her face.

--------------------------------------------------------

(Callie p.o.v)

"I was having a bad dream" I spoke

"Just a bad dream? It looked like a fucking attack" Xander yelled, I flinched at his awfully loud voice and the anger it held.

"You know, you sound better with your mouth closed" I replied with a smug look.

"Really Callie! You were having a seizure a minute ago for God's sake"

"I am fine, there's no need to make a fuss" I told him, trying my best to ignore the concerned look on everyone's face.

Which I didn't expect from them!

"This wasn't any normal nightmare, wasn't it? Diego questioned in his not so safe deep tone.

I immediately tensed at the anger his tone held, I didn't dare to look at his face.

Not only his

I am pretty sure my face would give away the truth, Don't know why? I can't lie looking at these five faces.

"What happened?" Victor calmly growled out.

I tried to feign innocence, but they weren't having none of it.

"W....What do you mean? I stuttered, I didn't want to but couldn't help it.

I tried to crawl away from Victor's grip, but he just tightened his hold on me.

"It isn't important, leave me alone" I grumbled.

Why can't they leave me alone?

"Callie, can you please tell us what Happened? Please!" Damien asked quietly, almost pleading.

Sensing that I am not going to utter a single word.

"Deigo" Victor sighed giving him a look.

He nodded and walked towards me before looking at Damien, who was looking at me with those blue eyes full of concern.

I gave them a questioning look, before I could react Diego grabbed my left hand. Victor held me in place with his arms while I trashed and tried to get away from them.

I now knew what they are doing.

My scars and cuts I made, The weak side of me, my escape from my pain.

"Stop.....stop" I shouted, while Xander and Edward were looking at us confused.

Diego pulled my sleeves up without any effort.

There were gasps from my brothers, they looked beyond horrified at the sight of cuts I made in my arms. Few almost faded and few made days ago.

They shouldn't have found this out.

"Callie! Explain why in the fucking hell did you do this?" Diego screamed, I flinched, not at his awfully loud tone but at the anger it held.

They have seen it, all of my brothers, I couldn't believe what the hell just happened.

Why do they have to find out? It's all because of my fucking nightmare.

I want to yell, scream at them to get out of my sight, but nothing came out of my mouth.

My whole mind and body too shocked to process any thing.

My weakness, One of my embarassing secret is exposed, which I would never let anyone find out, especially my brothers.

Before I could control, tears gathered in my eyes. I didn't even dared to look at their faces

All the pain I bottled up inside me is coming out, I hope I could hide it, but it seems like I can't take this anymore.

I am slowly breaking apart, everything I was trying to hide in my depths is burning me up.

"Leave me alone" I whispered under my breathe almost inaudible, but they heard it due to the death silence in the room.

My whole body and mind was numb not knowing how to react, My vision was getting blurred and the whole room suddenly started to suffocate me.

I didn't even realize that my breathing was getting shallower, my mind Couldn't clearly process what happened next.

All I know is, Victor pulling me into his lap hugging me close, while I hid my face in his shoulder. He was rubbing my back trying to soothe me.

"Everyone out now" Victor finally spoke after few minutes of silence.

"But-" Diego tried to interrupt but didn't dare to complete.

Most probably the deadly glare of Victor silenced all of them.

Within few seconds four of them left the room, even leaving the door closed Behind them.

"Please Lia , tell me" it wasn't the cold or threatening voice, but the one I was accustomed to as a child.

There was something in that tone, I want to spill everything. Tears were now threatening to spill from my eyes.

No I can't cry, I won't cry, those two monsters aren't worth of my tears.

"Please Lia " Victor pleaded, his tone full of worry.

I didn't dare look at him, I hid my face in his shoulder.

"Peter and Andrew" it was almost a whisper, I doubt if he even heard it.

But he heard it.

"Peter and Andrew Scott ?"

I nodded my head " They used to hit me"

I felt Victor stiffen, his grip on me tightened, but he still continued rubbing his arms on my shoulder soothingly.

"Why?" He asked

"I don't know, when ever I asked they told me that I am a monster and I deserved this"

"When did it start?"

"When I was about eight, before that they only used to shout or taunt me" I answered, hiding my face in his chest, not Daring to look up at him.

"Taunt? from when?"

"At first they were nice to me, but then they started to get..... so controlling, they told me that no one loves me, not even mom because... even my presence bring harm to others" I whispered.

"And mom never said a thing?"

"She never knew it, whenever I tried to tell her, she never bothered to hear me or refused to believe me. Even after begging, she will ask about this to Andrew. He used to tell Mom that I had got attention seeking and is now trying to put blame on him and Peter for gaining her attention. And.... later When mom was away, he would....punish me severely for this"

"And she believes his words" Anger clearly evident in his voice.

"She believes everything he says, she was hopeless in that case, she would do anything Andrew says without a word"

"Was it him, who told her to take you to see a psychiatrist"

I just nodded my head

"Did they ever-" he started relucantly.

I immediately tensed, I knew what he meant. His grip on me tightened as he pressed me closer to him which was nearly impossible because he was already hugging me so tightly.

"Peter..... tried to, when mom and Andrew was out, he came to my room drunk and tried to.......In defense I...I thrust a big iron scissor into his gut"

"You ran away after that, before calling dad" He asked.

"I got really.... scared, I didn't knew what to do, I.... I then ran away" I chocked out.

Tears were now streaming down my face, while he rubbed my back trying to soothe me.

"Shh, it's okay Lia, we are here, No one will try to harm you" Victor whispered softly trying to reassure me.

I was now sobbing into his chest, while he just held me protectively, whispering reassuring words while running fingers through my hair.

I don't know how and why? But I feel most protected right now, I am finally letting out my pain out now.

I don't know how much time passed like this, all the stress and sleepless night is finally taking a toll on me.

My eyes are too heavy that I was fighting a loosing battle to keep them open, finally I accepted my defeat.

I drifted into a dreamless sleep.

--------------------------------------------------------

(3rd p.o.v)

After Callie finally drifted into sleep, Victor gently laid her in bed as if she is the most fragile thing in the world.

He then tuck her in blanket, Finally placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"I love you Lia, I always have and always will till my last breath"

"No one will harm you ever" he promised her.

He will go beyond any extent to keep that promise.

Watching her sleep so peacefully like an angel that she is, broke his heart so painfully.

Victor a man who never cry had tears in his eyes as he looked at the cuts in her hand, he was filled with agony.

He didn't ask her why she did this to herself, not even a single word.

"I promise you, I will make them pay" his words full of promise of revenge and Vengeance.

Everyone that dared to hurt her even with words is going to pay.

For Victor, Callie, his Lia is everything.

He might forgive others for mistake they committed, but hurting Callie even with words is not a mistake, it's a sin for him.

He will unleash his rage soon.
