Chapter 40.
Benjamin's pov
I have been nothing but shocked from the moment the top leaders of Black Serpents came into the dining room and then see Elina and Ian ran up to them hugging them tightly.
When Elina ran though I saw she had a limp so now we could really see she have an injury and that's why she gets carried everywhere.
When they told us about how they knew them and all I have to say Alex started to piss even me off.
I don't doubt they got ambushed and taken, they have no reason to lie to us and they don't seem to be the type of people to lie.
In my opinion if they were people that lies they would just come up with a story about their past, but they don't, they say they don't wanna tell it right now so we have to respect that.
I have noticed both Diego and Deadshot or David as he is called look at Elina with so much love in their eyes.
Guess more people is out for her heart but it's not weird Elina is such a beautiful person inside out.
I noticed Elina started to panick a little during the move and then Elina, Diego and Ian got out of the room.
Dante told us to let them be, so they could help Elina. We all nodded and not long after we started to hear beautiful piano music.
"Elina" Seb said said with big smile on his face, "Wow, this is the song you always played for them when they were kids isn't it Dante?" Carlos asked smiling with tears in his eyes.
"Yes" he whispered more lost for words and tears in his eyes standing up and walking out.
We all followed and when we came closer to the living room Dante turned around and looked at us all.
"Everyone be quiet and don't make a sound, we don't want to scare her to stop playing!" He whispered loud enough for us all do hear and we all nodded.
When Elina started to sing I felt she took my breath away, and when they sang together it were such a perfect harmony with their voices together.
(Someone you loved - acoustic- Plamina)
Wow, I can get lost in just listen to Elina sing all day! She is amazing and she have so much control over her voice.
We all just listen to the music making sure we don't make a sound!
I never want this to end.
(Forever love you - JR28)
Then Ian sing a song and look at Elina with so much brotherly love in his eyes.
I find it's amazing how close the twins are, and to get that kind of bond they have, they must have gone through so much together.
I see Elina lean a bit up against Diego and he hold an arm around her waist and I see he caressing her lower back with his thumb.
I can't help feeling a bit jealous of him right now! Elina looking at Ian with tears in her eyes. And when Ian is done singing he learns down to kiss her forehead.
"One more then we head to bed?" Elina asked and Ian nodded smiling down.
"Any ideas?" She asked looking up at him and I saw Ian leaned down whispering something to her.
"You sure you want to sing one of our originals here? What if the rest of the family hears it? Diego is one thing because he know it all, but I don't know if I'm ready to let the other hear our songs!" She said looking down on the piano.
And hearing that broke my heart a little, she is scared we hear it, I can't wait for her to feel comfortable around us!
And I get it, she is the only one not knowing we are here listening to them, but I feel we are intruding on her privacy.
And the comment about how it's okay with Diego, I felt a sting it jealousy again.
"Let's do it, it's the last song we'll sing today then we head to bed. Diego you will join us right?" Ian asked looking at Diego with a smile.
"Sure, as long as that's what you both want!" He asked and I saw Elina nodded.
Then Ian got ready to play the guitar again and Elina the piano.
(I'm not okay - Citizen Soldier)
I heard Elina started to sing then they both started to play.
This is a original song of theirs so I listen carefully to all the lyrics of it.
And listen to it shock me to the core. Just from the lyrics it self they tell us they have been through a lot.
"I know I said one more song before we head to bed but I really want to play one more song of one of our own original, please sis?" Ian said looking at Elina with a pleading look.
Guess he want the family to know how much they struggle so they can have a little understanding so they don't get shit on like how Alex do all the time.
I looked at Alex and he honestly looked so broken right now, I guess he understands a little more they have gone through something bad.
"Okay, but this is the last song Ian you promise, you know I can't say no to you!" She said. "I promise" Ian said.
"Okay which song are you thinking about?" She asked and Ian whispered something to her and she then nodded with a sad smile.
(If I surrender - citizen soldier)
Ian started to play the guitar again and after a little Elina started to sing.
Again I just listen to the lyrics and I look at the rest of the people in the room and they all look so broken, even the leaders of the black serpents.
Hearing how she just wish to die because what's in her head is breaking her.
I truly hope Alex listen to this because he need to let her have time to recover.
When they were done with the song Ian stood up and placed the guitar back on its stand and Diego lifted her up bridal style and turned around she saw all of us sitting here.
Her eyes widen in shock and she looked terrified. Sofia quickly stood up walking over to her and pulled her into a big hug.
"Sweetheart, we all care! And we will give you the time you need to feel safe with us! But know, I'm always here if you need to talk! I understand you are still trying to get comfortable with most of us! But we are all here for you! Thank you for the beautiful piano playing and singing! And thank you for sharing something so meaningful to you!" She said and when she pulled away she wiped away Elina's tears and when she did we could see clear bruises on her face.
