seven souls seven sins - Chapter 9: Chapter 9

Natasha's pov:
"Actually.. I have to tell you something.." I begin.
"What is it? Go on.." Vincent asks impatiently. I swear none of my biological brothers have an ounce of patience.
"I forgot to mention but my friend flew over here to help me fit in and I was wondering if you have the address so I can text him it?" I say all in one breath.
Vincent pauses for a moment before answering "Yeah sure, I'll send it to you via text to your current phone. He could also stay for dinner too. But I need to have a little chat with him."
There better not be a catch to his unusual cheerfulness. But now I actually had permission. I was going to meet up with him anyways but I guess having him come over here won't be any worse. Oh yes it could.
"Yea sure, no problem. Thanks Vinny!" I say. I was truly grateful at his gesture.
I was ready to get up on my feet when Vincent asks yet another question "Don't you dare leave until I say you are dismissed young lady."
I huff out loud and gesture for him to continue. I was already fed up with this family, especially him. I should be able to leave whenever I want, not when he says I can.
"You still haven't answered my question from before, how did you actually obtain your bruises. I only want the truth and nothing but the truth Nat." He demanded.
I didn't want to argue as I have already used up all my anger. I also knew that lying to him was no point as he was going to find out one way or another. I decided to tell him the truth, what's the worst that could happen? I just need to keep my mafia bruises away and I'm sure I'll be grand. I also couldn't snitch on mom, so that was out of the picture.
I also thought about snitching on Xander, but what's the fun in that? I want them to do a little problem solving. :)
"I have a total of seven bruises, I have three on my legs, one on my shoulder, one on my stomach, one on my lower back and one on my neck. The ones on my legs are from a fight in school, I won by the way. The one on my shoulder and back are from someone, who I wont be saying. The last two are on my stomach and my neck, these one's are from one of your brothers." I say the last sentence in a sarcastic tone.
He takes a hot minute to process all of the new information before asking "Are you going to tell me who is someone?"
I then reply instantly "Not until I feel ready, not until I feel comfortable."
It was the honest truth.
He nods at me and then proceeds to ask again "Are you going to tell me which brother hurt you?"
I pause to think my answer through. "You all hurt me mentally, but I think you know deep down which 'brother' hurt me physically." I reply coldly.
His face turns to a shade of red. Weird. He doesn't answer back so I take this as my queue to leave. I stand up and he doesn't stop me. I walk towards the big brown door and walk through it not looking behind to see Vincent staring at my lower back bruise. I walk down the corridor and unfortunately I run into one of my six biological brothers.
Chase.
He hurriedly walks up to me, he looks worried? Something is fishy.
He then says in a serious tone "Nat, can we talk?"
I give him an assuring nod and he gestures me to follow him. We go downstairs, past the living room, turn the corner and down the hall until a big door came in front of my eyesight. He opened it and a huge training center appeared in my field of vision. It was humongous. This wasn't a gym, this was a full-on athletic facility.
I LOVED IT. I could practice my skills and drills here everyday. It was awesome. My eyes shift to Chase's eyes, who were watching me the whole time. He even has a smile on his face.
"You like it huh?" He asks me.
"Yea, it's unbelievable. I love working out." I reply back truthfully.
"Thank god, finally someone else enjoys it too. The rest of our brothers are lazy asses." He says with relief. He also smirked at the end. I too let a small grin appear on my face. He then leads me over towards the cardio equipment.
He then says "Shall we begin?" I eagerly agree by nodding my head and we begin training.
Time Passes:
It's almost been three full hours of non stop cardio and deadlifts. Let's just say, that Chase was more than surprised at my athletic abilities. I check my sweaty wrist to find my watch. It was already 12:30. Chase said that after another hour of self defence then I could go.
I could already tell that he was mesmerised by my charms.
After every punch, kick and whack I throw at him I almost hit all of them until he blocked one. Darn it. He then whams my back legs and I come toppling down onto the ground. He lets out a gentle chuckle and gives his hand to help me get up. I reach for his big hands and I lift myself up.
He then says "You've done well for your first attempt, let's see if another hour could help?"
I then challenge him "You're on."
He smiles at my little remark and we practice again and again for what felt like for ever.
Time Passes:
After the hour, Chase leads me upstairs to the kitchen. It was now 13:30.
I truly did enjoy my time with Chase. He was a nice fella and he didn't hurt me when I messed up. We actually enjoyed doing some similar workouts so we had that in common with each other. He was as much of a gym rat as me. I liked that about him. He wasn't doing it for the body goals, he was doing it to stay physically fit.
That was also my aim too.
He tells me to sit at the dining room and wait for him and the others to come down. While I was waiting, I waste no time to text Flynn the address that Vincent sent to me. He should be here at 3pm and at my house at 4pm. I cant wait to see him. It feels like it's been forever. I needed to hear a familiar voice soon or I'm sure I would go crazy.
I needed to hear his voice.
I toss my thoughts to the side when Chase, Leo, Adrien and Vincent walk into the dining room and accompany their assigned seats. I immediately noticed that Xavier and Xander weren't here. Where were the twins? I start to recollect my thoughts about their presence this morning. Oh yeah! I remember that they were in their uniform.
They must have school today.
Not long after the remaining household members come in, maids enter with hot dishes full of burgers and sliders. I guess we were eating big today. I decided that if I ate the burger now then I wouldn't be hungry enough to eat dinner later. I took this offer and loaded up my plate with one burger whilst the rest of my biological brothers took two each.
They were so greedy, actual people in need could've eaten those.
I continue to make an attempt finish my burger. The last time that I had a burger was at a random American diner with Flynn and Seb. That day was so much fun until he showed up. I loved and hated him all at the same time. But he is in jail now, all I can do is wait. I take around three big bites until my stomach is stuffed with multiple nutrients. I sit there silently while I watch my pig brothers finish their meal.
I don't even know how people could finish a whole burger, it baffles me.
Shortly after, my thinking was cut to a close when Leo asked "Are you going to finish that?" while chewing his food. I shake my head negatively and he snatches my plate from my grasp. He begins munching on the rest of my burger. I think that's acceptable because atleast he isn't wasting the food.
However, Chase looked disappointed in me. We had previously discussed about eating habits and how I should improve mine but I made no effort.
I will but I just need time. He also needed patience.
I checked the time on my phone which displayed 14:00. Yay! That means only two hours until I could see Flynn. I was so happy. I even saw that Seb had texted me earlier but I was so busy training with Chase that I must've not seen it. I immediately text him back because I miss him so much.
Seb: Hey Tash, how have you been? You haven't been online for the last 2 hours or so, where are you?
Nat: Sorry for worrying you Seb, I was training with one of my biological brothers.
Seb: Don't worry Tash, you won't have to stay with them for long. :)
Nat: What do you mean Seb? Will I be moving back to England?
Seb: I mean that I will be joining you and Flynn in Brazil! :)
Nat: OMG!! When are you coming? I'm so excited EEEK! :D
Seb: Just two weeks love.
Nat: That's too long >:(
Seb: Don't worry pumpkin, I'll make sure Flynn treats you right.
Nat: Thank y-
I was unfortunately interrupted by Vincent's throat clearing. He glances at me and with his eyes, and tells me to put the phone down. I put the phone down reluctantly. He then proceeds to ask "When you smile at your phone, I want to know who you are texting." I give him a 'why do you want to know' look and tilt one of my eyebrows. But I also knew that I wasn't getting out of this.
"It's just Seb, no need to worry. He said he's going to come here in two weeks." I say happily.
I truly was ecstatic that he was coming. I was just imagine Flynn, Seb and I waking on the Brazilian beach together. All of us so happy and joyful. This time Adrien then speaks "You must be really close with Seb for him to travel with you to another country, let alone another continent."
I nod to agree with his theory. "Yea Seb, Flynn and I are so close that they are basically family to me."
I smile at the idea of them being my biological brothers. I would really love life. Unfortunately, Adrien didn't like this idea and spoke angrily "They are not your family, we are." I was quite annoyed at his argument. Who was he to tell me who are and who aren't my family? I believe that decision is up to me only.
"Sure I suppose.." I murmur quietly. He shouldn't receive the satisfaction of always being right. He definitely won't especially when I'm around.
"What is that supposed to mean huh?" Adrien spits back. I was appalled by his recent behaviour.
"It means that they are my real brothers, and you all are just my biological brothers. The only thing we share is blood, nothing more." I spat back at him. I humbled them so badly but they deserved to know how I really felt about them. I didn't want to leave them with mixed feelings.
Adrien then went quiet.
I could see the fury that engulfed his eyes. They were almost bloodshot. I then mention "If you could excuse me, I have work to be done." I then give each of them one of my infamous 'death glares' and I stand up out of my chair. I try to walk away until I hear a constant ringing from my phone.
It was one of my spies in Brazil that was calling.
What could they possibly want now? I was already in a pissed off mood from my biological brothers and now I have work. Even all my brothers eyes were on me. Shit, I couldn't have them knowing about my job.
I pick up the phone. I knew that they wouldn't call me randomly if it wasn't important.
"Boss, we have located one of the Brazilian's warehouses. I have sent you the coordinates via email. Please notify me about your next move." He speaks.
"Thank you so much Antonio, I'll inform the rest and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. You shall expect an extra bonus in your account by the end of next week. Talk to you soon, Obrigado, tire a semana de folga. (Thank you, take the week off.) " I reply back and end the phone call.
I look up from my phone to see all my biological brother's eyes laced with red and a hint of confusion.
"Nat, you know how to speak Portuguese?" Leo asks softly.
"I know how to speak loads of languages. I know English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and even Italien." I smirk while I flexed on them. The languages were all easy to learn as they were all similar with one another. My biological brothers all look like they had just seen a ghost.
Even Vincent.
"Why did you learn all of those for?" Chase asked.
The truth was that I learned them to communicate with my enemies and allies, but they couldn't know that..
