The Broken Angel & Her Overprotective Brothers - Chapter 82

“I can’t believe this.”

Emily muttered under her breath as Leo and Crist finally succeeded in dragging her out of the car.

“Stop being so dramatic. You are going to step inside the famous SA building. Make sure to show everyone exactly who you are. Now, have a good evening exploring and getting acquainted with this place. I’ll pick both of you around five o’clock.” Crist said as he brushed her hair with his fingers to smoothen them.

“Can’t you stay with us?” Emily asked even though she knew what his answer was going to be.

“Em, you know that Domenic needs me at the company like in…”

He stopped to take a look at his watch and at that very exact moment a horrified look took over his expressions.

“Damn it! Only ten minutes are left. I’m leaving. Take care of yourself and this dumbass.”

He hurriedly shouted as he placed a quick kiss on her forehead before getting into the car and running away.

“Did he just call you a dumbass?” Leo asked her as he stared at the gate of the Academy grounds, watching the white car disappearing in the distance.

“Nope! He asked me to take care of you.” She replied as she pulled her little bag out of his hands and started walking towards the stairs that led towards the entrance of the seven-story building known as the SA, or Supernatural Academy.

“Impossible! I mean he can call me a dumbass but there’s no way he would tell you to look after me. Nope!” Leo muttered with a shake of his head as he followed her.

Emily stopped in her tracks as she turned to face her youngest brother.

“Alright, tell me what is more impossible. Crist telling me to look after you or him calling me a dumbass?”

Her question made Leo hesitate as he pondered on the possibility of Crist calling his baby sister a dumbass.

“Alright. It’s definitely the latter, but that doesn’t mean that you are right. To put it simply, he was just so much in a hurry that he did not pay attention to what he was saying or to whom he was saying that. That’s it!”

Emily just shook her head with a sigh as she once again started walking towards the building.

When Domenic and Kaiden offered her the opportunity to join the Supernatural Academy to learn more about supernaturals, she did not miss a single beat before agreeing.

That’s how her brother ended up arranging for her to visit the SA building four times a week after her school.

However, as she stood outside the building that looked nothing like the old and haunted castle that she imagined, she was kind of starting to get nervous.

Because for the first time she was aware that the people whom she was going to meet inside that building were not all normal human beings.

She knew that not all supernaturals were bad and she had seen many examples of very kind and warm-hearted supernaturals, but this knowledge did nothing to calm her fears.

She felt Leo’s hand on her arm which almost caused her to flinch.

“Emy, it’s alright sis. I’m here with you and I promise that I’ll not leave your side for even a second. Moreover, there are many people here whom you are already familiar with.”

Leo’s words made her calm down a little as gave him a quick nod before asking, “Who are these familiar people you are talking about?”

“For starters, you will find Jackson here,” Leo answered as they entered the building.

The cold gust of air that met them inside finally relieved them from the high temperature that had taken over the day.

“Jackson? Why is he here?” Emily asked as they made their way towards the front desk.

Leo showed their IDs to the woman who was sitting at the front desk before he pulled her towards the elevators.

“Jackson is a teacher here. By now you should have realized that he’s a good teacher, right?” Her brother asked as he pushed the button to the fifth floor.

“He’s actually a great teacher. By the way, he’s a supernatural too.” Her last statement was not exactly a question, therefore Leo just stayed silent.

“There are also chances to spot Sam here. And there’s also….”

Before Leo could complete his sentence, the door of the elevator opened and they both noticed the guy clad in a similar school uniform as hers.

Emily watched in surprise as Rylan entered the lift and settled down against one of the side walls.

“You are here too.” She found herself stating as she eyed him from head to toe.

She still agreed that he carried that bad boy vibe on him, just add the vibes of something fishy and mythical too in the context.

“Hello there.” Rylan waved his hand towards her to which she just scoffed in her mind.

She knew that she needed to keep a calm and collected appearance in front of her enemy.

She was about to ask Leo to continue with whatever he was saying when she noticed her brother glaring at the silver-haired dude.

Oops! Looked like even Leo disliked that liar. Good, because now she would have someone in her team against that devil prince.

The elevator door opened as they reached the fifth floor, breaking the glaring contest between the two boys.

Emily took hold of Leo’s arm as she dragged him out of the elevator.

Rylan did not follow them. He went towards the north side of the floor while she and Leo headed towards the south.

“Where are we going?” She asked him as she tried to take in all the information about the long hallways.

“Someone is waiting for us in the physical training hall. We need to report there for your first class.” Leo answered as he continued to walk past various wooden doors that were standing on either side of the hallway.

“Oh!”

Emily hurriedly nodded her head as a small smile appeared on her lips. Physical training was one of those classes that she was looking forward to.

She had always wanted to become physically strong but she never got the chance before this.

But since she was finally bestowed with such a big chance to learn at least one of the things that she craved to learn, she was set to not give up till the very end.

They finally stopped outside a huge door at the very end of the hall.

As Leo knocked once on the door before opening it and entering, she also hurriedly followed behind him.

She was surprised to find a huge room with various pieces of equipment lining against the walls.

At the very back of the room was a huge glass door which probably opened into a massive gym as far as she could tell.

The room was surprisingly empty which actually made her filled with relief.

However, this relief was short-lived as the very next second a very familiar voice entered her ears.

“Since today is your first day here, I’ve decided to keep this class personal. However, from next time onwards you will be taking this class with the other students.”

Emily turned around to face the man who was wearing dark trousers and a matching tank top that left his arms bared.

For the first time in months, she finally got to see the tattoos that were covering Mark’s arms from the very top till his wrists.

His green eyes were trained on her as he watched her with a poker face.

She hurriedly turned her face towards the area where Leo was supposed to be standing, only to find that the boy had already abandoned her.

Talk about his promise of not leaving her side for even a second. Liar!

“Why are you here?”

She was both amazed and happy to find that her voice did not waver as she found the courage to ask the question.

However, the fact that she was nervous as hell did not slip the keen observing skills of her grumpy brother.

“I’m the physical training instructor here and I’ll be teaching you self defence.”

The reply that she received from Mark made her curse her luck in her mind.

Why did she even expect something to go right in her life? It was clear that these training lessons were about to become torture lessons for her.

“Go and get changed. We don’t have much time.” Mark said as he placed a package in her hands.

“Change?” Emily asked stupidly.

“Right. I’ve picked this on my way here. There’s the locker room. Make it quick. We will be starting in five minutes.” Saying that Mark started walking towards the wall where bats were sitting on a rack.

For a moment Emily wanted to tell him that she was no longer interested in learning self-defense, but she was afraid that it would only lead her to more troubles.

So just to save her life from the wrath of Mark, she ran towards the locker room to change her clothes.
