You heard a scream eminate from just down the street and immediately ran towards it. It seemed that the longer you ran the longer the steet became. Finally, you turned down a dark alley where you thought the scream had come from. There was a blond haired boy sitting slumped against the cement wall. His amber eyes were filled with horror as he stared at his trembling hands. His face was splashed with blood and he was muttering what sounded like, "I could have stopped them. I could have stopped this."

You wondered what was wrong with him as you pulled your attention away from the boy to see if there was anything further down the alley. When you looked you saw a figure lying on the ground. You ran to it and then when you were about a meter away you noticed that there was a blood stain on the back wall. You screamed and sank to your knees. There was blood still running down the back wall. Your whole body seemed to go cold.

Then a car pulled up behind you. "Are you okay, signorina??" a man asked from behind you. She jumped as a warm hand landed on her shoulder. You turned to look at the man he had a soft face with reddish- brown hair that had a single curl, and amber eyes. He seemed geniunely concerned. You didn't answer him. "Did you know her?" he asked sympathetically. You shook your head no.

"Those batardos got away again!" shouted another man. He kicked a can in utter disgust. The can hit the wall next to the blond kid's head. The boy flinched and looked up. The man kicked his foot up onto the wall next to the boy's head causing the boy to flinch again. The man had dark brown hair that had a curl that went the opposite way of the other man's, and he had dark, penetrating brown eyes. He leaned forward to study the boy. He rested his elbow on his knee and letting his arm hang down. He searched the boy's eyes, intense brown eyes staring into terrified amber ones.

You looked away. You couldn't watch the scene any longer. "We need to take you in for questioning," said the man that was next to you. You nodded to him and stood up. Your legs started shaking as you tried to walk. The man noticed this and immediately scooped you up into his arms. You squeaked in alarm. You turned your face in towards him. Heat flooded your face as you tried to warm yourself and you gladly welcomed it.

"Feliciano!" the other man shouted.

'Feliciano? Is that his name?' you thought briefly. You tried to nuzzle in closer to the man carrying you, selfishly trying to absorb his body heat to warm your freezing veins. Your vision began to blur at the edges as you were lulled into a peaceful sleep.

Italy's POV

I looked down and saw the girl asleep. I walked slowly, so as to not wake her, and took her to the car. I gently placed her in the back seat of the car. I smiled as she began to snore lightly. I turned back to the scene laid before me. I walked to the body and bent down. "Must have known too much," I muttered under my breath.

"Just like all the rest," Lovino said coming up behind me, after he made sure the boy wouldn't try to run for it. "We'll have to take him with us," Lovino stated motioning towards the boy.

"Nothing can ever be easy, can it?" I sighed. "Lovino call the cops. Tell them we've been hired for this one but we'll need this off-limits." Lovino sighed and walked away pulling out his cell phone. He grabbed the boy's collar and dragged him to his feet, after he finished the call. They walked to the car while I followed in pursuit. Lovino opened the back door and motioned for the boy to get in.

"Ve~! Lovino you don't put a possible murderer in the backseat with a young lady!" I exclaimed shocked that my brother hadn't thought of that.

Lovino muttered something under his breath that I didn't quite catch. But he slammed the backdoor shut and went around to the other side of the car. He opened the passanger door and shoved the boy in. I opened the drivers side door and rested my arm on top of it before getting in.

"Happy?" he grumbled as he crawled into the backseat.

"Sì," I said brightly in return and sat down in the driver's seat and shut the door.

Back to your POV

Your eyes fluttered slowly opened and you noticed you were lying on a warm leather car seat. Your eyes opened wide in alarm when you noticed there was a strange man sitting next to you. The man sat with his eyes closed and his arms crossed. You shrank back, away from him, and reached for the handle.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," he said without moving anything but his lips. "Hey, Feliciano! Sleeping Beauty, here, is awake." The man reached out to grab your hand away from the handle while Felicano was turning a corner. You flinched away from his grasp and accidentally opened the door. You fell back and the man leapt forward and grabbed your arm.

"Lovino! Grab her!" shouted Feliciano but Lovino had already pulled you to him and closed the door. You flushed scarlet as you were held against this 'Lovino.'

"Not trying to sound racist or anything since you're italian but... um... you smell like tomatos," you muttered to Lovino while still being held against him. This time it was his turn to go scarlet.

"I just saved you from becoming road kill and that's all you can say?!" he yelled. His hand were still grasping your shoulders tightly as he pushed you away.

"Ve~? Lovi are you blushing?" Felicano said while locking the doors so that the same incident wouldn't happen again. Lovino immediately let go of you and turned to look out the window. You could tell he was still red but you weren't sure if it was because he was angry or... Or because of something else.

You looked up and saw Feliciano smiling at you through the rear view mirror, "So my name is Feliciano and that man there he's-a my older brother." Lovino jumped slightly at the mention of his name but didn't say anything. "So what is your name, bella?" Feliciano asked calmly.

"I-It's _-____. My name is _____ ______," you answered timidly, slightly embarrassed because of the whole situation. Then your face went deathly pale as your memories all came flooding back

'I c-can't believe I saw her like that. Dead. After she told me she never wanted to see me again. I had thought she wanted to apologize when she had called me and asked me to meet her,' you thought sadly.

"Are you okay, bella? You look really pale!" Feliciano said worridly as he watched you in the mirror for your response.

"Y-yeah I'm fine," you stated shakily trying to recompose yourself.

Feliciano gave you a disbelieving look but continued on anyways.

"You should consider it an honor that Lovi, here =, is even speaking. Normally, he doesn't make friends very easily. But he seems to be getting along with you pretty well. I can tell because he has already blown up at you," he laughed. Despite his position in the situation, the boy seated in front of you even seemed amused.

Just then Feliciano turned sharply down a long winding drive way. You squealed and blushed scarlet as Lovino fell over onto you.

"Tu bastardo!! You did that on purpose!" Lovino yelled scrambling off of you. Feliciano mearly laughed at his brother's accusation.

"Well, we're here," Feliciano announced merrily. He came around and opened the door for you. You stepped out of the car only to feel an aching pain course through your leg.

'Really?! My leg fell asleep!' you thought miserably as your legs buckled beneath you.

Feliciano swooped down and scooped you up into his arms... again. He began to carry you bridal style towards the beautiful italian style house.

You squeaked and instictively wrapped your arms around his neck for support. You clenched your eyes shut and squeaked, "No! Really my leg just fell asleep! I can walk on my own!" Lovino let out an exasperated sigh and got the boy out of the car.

"No. No. You have-a just been-a threw a terrible experience and your tired," he replied sympathetically. You tried to get away but he held you firmly against his chest.

You eventually sighed, giving up and muttered, "Fine. Fine. You win."

Lovino ultimately reached the door first and opened it. He the mockingly bowed; gesturing for Feliciano carrying you to go first.

“Careful or else you might hit your head on the door frame,” Feliciano whispered gently. You lifted your head away from the edge of the door way but ended up thumping your head hard against Feliciano's chest. He took a short, sharp intake of breath but still pretended like nothing happened.

'Why are they being so kind to me?' you wondered. 'We've only just met.' Only when Feliciano went to put you down were you jolted out of your thoughts. You sank down and looked around yourself to realize he had put you on a soft, velvety couch.

“I'm.... Sorry...,” you muttered under your breath. You were barely audible and the two Italian brothers leaned in closer to be able to hear you better.

“Sorry about what?” Lovino said louder than he had intended and caused you to jump slightly.

Feliciano looked you up and down worriedly.
“
Everything!” you sobbed and into your hands. Lovino flinched at the loudness of your voice.

Lovnio's POV

'She's... crying,' I thought to myself as my eyes widened. 'Oh dio. What do I do now!?  I don't know how to deal with a crying ragazza!' I meantaly facepalmed. 'I swear if it was that bastardo's fault I'll kill him!' I thought while my eyes darted to the blond haired boy who had been in the alley with_____. 'Wait. Why should I care? I don't even know her!'

I watched the boy out of the corner of my eye he was still just silently watching the scene next to me. I turned my gaze away from him since he didn't seem as if he was going to do anything.
Felciano sat down next to her and pried her hands away from her face.

'Damn, attention hog.'

Your POV

You looked up at Feliciano through your puffy eyes. He smiled gently at you while you sat there stunned. Tear silently fell from your eyes. When Feliciano opened his eyes you gasped. They were a dazzling shade of amber. (I'm kind of refering to the fact of Italy almost never having his eyes open in case you were confused.) They were much brighter than Lovino's serious brown eyes.

Lovino walked over to the couch towards you and looked as if he wanted to say something but wasn't quite sure what.

“Sorry about what, bella?” Feliciano asked while he gently carressed your face.

“I-I lied,” you said bluntly and your eyes darted away from his.

Feliciano and Lovino looked at you in shock. Feliciano recovered much quicker than his older brother and mearly blinked it away.

“Lied about what, bella?” he asked softly.

“I-I did know the victim,” you said quietly as you felt another sob overcome you, “Sh-she was my little sister,” you whispered in a hoarse voice.
