*Flashback*

Blood was gushing down from the open wounds on her back. Her throat hurt from the screams that she emitted each time the knife slashed her skin.

Raw-red skin on her wrists as she tried to pull free from the chains that held her down. Tears fell down her tan cheeks, lips wobbling as she wished to not feel the pain.

She picked up her head to glare at her attacker. She met brown eyes that stared back at her with a sinister smile spread across his lips.

He roughly grabbed her jaw and showed her a bottle that read alcohol. Her eyes widen as she tried to move away.

But it was useless as she was trapped with nowhere to go. She forces her eyes closed as she felt him go behind her.

Feeling his touch she shivered in disgust and felt unimaginable pain spreading across her back.

It felt as if she was on fire, she bit her lip till it bled trying to keep her scream in. But it was futile as he slashed another cut onto her once untouched skin, and the scream burst out.

She felt anger as she heard him laugh and she knew that she wanted revenge. Emilia smiled when she imagined all the pain she would put him through.

She knew that a day would come when Francisco would feel the pain that she feels at that moment. And that brought her joy to know that he would soon suffer the same treatment- no worse treatment then what she was in.

Hearing the door close, she hanged her head low as tears kept falling down her cheeks. She hoped that maybe a day will come where she will finally be able to bring pain to those that harmed her.

*Flashback ends you may start reading from this part if you skipped all the gory part*

Tears pricked her eyes as a memory came back that she tried to forget. Emilia glared heatedly at Francisco who was sitting down on a couple of rocks.

She hated him for what he has done to her, he brought her pain and left scars that littered her body. Her hand morphed into a fist as memories after memories came playing across her vision.

Lorenzo grew worried as he saw Emilia's eyes turn pitch black the longer she glared at Francisco. He stood in front of her and looked into her watery eyes, he knew that she must've gone through something horrible.

He lifted his hands to touch her cheeks and rubbed his thumbs onto her soft skin. She blinked when she felt sparks on her skin and saw gold eyes worriedly staring at her.

"Are you alright Emilia? Do you want to go back home?" Lorenzo spoke as he tried to comfort her the best he could.

Putting her hand over his she smiled, "No, I'm fine it's just memories came back since I saw him again. They have been haunting me for a while and sometimes it's hard to relieve them again and I just don't know what to-"

She stopped as more tears started welling up in her eyes and a sobbed built up in her throat.

Lorenzo pulled her into his arms and put a hand on her head, "Let it out stop trying to keep your pain in. Soon he will feel all the hurt that has been building up for years, and he won't be able to hurt anyone anymore."

She grasped his shirt and buried her face into his neck, "Thank you Enzo for being here for me." He nodded and caressed her head, "I will always be here for you so don't be afraid to tell me what's on your mind. Now let me get rid of that vermin who troubles you."

He pulled away and headed towards Francisco who had his brows furrowed. Grabbing him by his collar he growled out, "Listen here if you want to live another day I suggest you stay far away from us. You have hurt my mate more than enough so you better start running before I change my mind and kill you now."

Francisco scrambled away, "I'm not afraid of you plus Father would punish you for trying to hurt me." He fixed his shirt and stood taller trying to initiate Lorenzo clearly didn't work because he was shorter.

Snarling Lorenzo spoke, "You should be afraid because you don't know what I'm capable of. And that old man has scars on his body that I gave him, he got lucky I didn't take off and arm or his head."

Francisco gulped and looked towards Emilia to see if she would help him out but she lifted a brow as if daring him to say something.

Putting his hands up in surrender he slowly started backing away, "You guys obviously don't want me here so I'm going to go." With that, he turned around and started running as quickly as he could.

Father stood in his office talking to the other scientists when Francisco came through the door out of breath. "What is the matter boy? Why does it look like you saw a ghost?" Father spoke out.

"T-they tried to kill me, I was so afraid for my life I don't even know how I escaped those savages. Emilia had her hand wrapped around my throat squeezing till I couldn't breathe. And her lover had slashed his claws through my shirt and clawed his way at my leg." Fransico wheezed out.

"Come here let me see what they have done to you," Father gestured him to come closer. Francisco limped towards father and groaned in pain each step he took.

Father grabbed his chin and lifted his head so he could inspect the bruises that made a purple and blue handprint. He touched it and Francisco hissed in pain, "She did some damage I can tell you that." Father chuckled out.

Stepping away father looked at his shirt to see that the claw marks were on there. "Let me see your leg that Lorenzo clawed at," Father spoke.

Francisco sat down on a chair and gently lifted his pant leg to show the damage. Blood was dripping down from his cut, green and yellow bruises covered his lower leg.

Some of the scientists gagged at the sight, Father sighed unable to form words that his experiments had spiraled out of control.

"We need to get you to the infirmary and I need Lorenzo and Emilia back in the labs. They need to be separated and taught discipline," Father spoke finally able to form words.

One of the scientists had grabbed Francisco and put his arm over their shoulder. He dramatically groaned in pain and limped out of the room.

Father turned to the other scientists, "We need to go now to collect Lorenzo and Emilia and we need to gather as many guards as possible so that none of us can get hurt. They nodded their heads and rushed out of the room.

As soon as they were all out father slammed his hand on the wall and yelled out. His plan was foiled, he couldn't believe that after all these years of taking care of them this is how they repay him.

He saw red and he couldn't wait to show them how angry he felt. Pushing some hair out of his face he slammed the door open and walked out the room.

________________

Emilia and Lorenzo were cuddling on the bed while watching a cartoon. They were laughing but stopped when they heard the sound of footsteps.

Looking at each other Lorenzo turned the volume down when he heard voices outside. He looked towards Emilia who had a confused expression and put a finger to his lips.

She nodded and walked closer to Lorenzo who wrapped a protective arm around her. They walked downstairs and saw a large group all huddled together.

Seeing guards with guns sent them tensing now realizing that they were all there for them. Father stepped forward spotting them and knocked on the door.

"Come outside we need to speak to you both, if you don't we will force you outside." Father angrily spoke out.

They furrowed their eyebrows and Emilia spoke, "Why are we being called outside, what have we done?"

"Just come outside and stop being so difficult Emilia. Do as I say as once" Father yelled out. Emilia flinched as she heard his tone and looked to Lorenzo to nod her head.

"Okay but calm down father no need to be yelling, we will go outside," Emilia said. Lorenzo opened the door and stepped out to shield Emilia, "She will be behind me, no harm will come to her and if there are, heads will be rolling."

Father sighed frustratedly, "Just get out of the house I don't care that she is behind you." He walked out of the house protectively hiding Emilia behind him and glared at the people that surrounded them.

Some of the guards looked away from his glare and some of them flinched when they felt his glare on them.

"You need to come back into the lab because you tried killing Francisco today, he came back with injuries that could have killed him. I'm disappointed with both of you, you made me look bad in front of my colleagues. Both of you will be separated and punished for this incident," Father said angrily.

They both grew confused, "What do you mean almost killed Francisco? We made him leave and he didn't have any injuries because we knew how you would react." Emilia said for both of them.

"One of you is lying and I'm betting it's you and Lorenzo. So-"

Emilia interrupted father before he could continue, "Why do you think it's us because we are not fully human? Because we possess strength that could kill humans easily. You are the one who created me and you stole Lorenzo from his family, do you think we wanted this?"

She felt rage boiling inside her and stepped closer to her father. The guards huddled closer wanting to protect father from any harm.

Seeing that she rolled her eyes, "Relax I won't harm your precious leader, but you need to stop putting the blame on us and realize that the liar is Francisco."

Father ignored what she said, "Seize them and take them back to cells." Her eyes widen as guns were now pointed at both of them, "You motherf-"

She was interrupted as a gun hit her chest and she lost air. Lorenzo grew angry and grabbed the guard who did that, punching him in the nose, he tossed him at other unsuspecting guards.

Rubbing a hand on her chest she picked up her head to show her pitch-black eyes that caused shivers to go down the guard's spine. Balling her fist she punched a guard that had his gun aimed at her.

The gun fired and shot at another guard, Emilia took the distraction and ran for father who was running away. She tackled him down, "You are not getting away so easily father, stop trying to separate us." Pulling him up by his shirt she was about to headbutt him when a shot rang through the air.

She felt pain on her lower abdomen and saw blood spreading all over her shirt. Letting go of father she fell to her knees as tears sprung her eyes.

Lorenzo stopped what he was doing when he smelled blood or more specifically Emilia's blood. He turned towards the smell and saw Emilia on her knees with a guard that stood a few meters from where she was.

He ran to the guard and plunged his hand into his chest to retrieve his beating heart and threw it onto the ground before stepping onto it. Running to Emilia he held her into his arms, "Mate you're going to be okay do not worry."

She looked at him with teary eyes, "I don't want to die if I do, I'm going to be leaving you alone and I don't want that." He felt tears prick his eyes as he held her close and kissed her cheek promising that she will be alright.

Feeling a needle jab into his neck he turned to see father smirking down at him. He felt himself starting to get sleepy and he desperately hoped that he wouldn't sleep because he knew when he woke up Emilia would be gone.

Black dots danced across his vision and he tried blinking them away. He felt sparks and looked down to see Emilia softly smiling at him with her hand on his cheek, "I will be alright Enzo, don't worry about me."

Feeling himself start to sway he laid down with Emilia tucked safely in his arms to prevent her from getting more injuries. "Please don't leave me, Emilia, I will have no purpose in life if you leave me here," Lorenzo said brokenly.

Emilia shook her head but her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she suffered too much blood loss. He started shaking and pulled her even closer to his body as his eyelids started closing.

The last thing he saw was Emilia's tear-stained cheeks.
