Book 1 : Chapter 50 Do Not Argue

November 4th

Ten minutes later, Elena was hooked up to the oxygen machine and carried on a stretcher into an ambulance.

"I'll keep you updated," Antonio, who had only arrived a few minutes before, said to Leo before getting in the ambulance with Rosa. "Take the girls home," he added, looking over to the rest of his daughters.

"Ella, I should go," Connor said, taking my hand.

I nodded, "but I'll see you again soon... right?"

He smiled, "of course. I'll come anytime you want."

I watched as he jogged off, out of the base and Leo ushered me along with his other four sisters into his car.

For 10 minutes nobody spoke until Leo finally broke the silence by clearing his throat.

"This is never happening again," he said.

"Leo-" Maria began.

"No," he said in an authoritative tone.

"Let me speak," Maria demanded.

"Do not argue with me. Our sister could die because she got hurt fighting a battle she should never have been allowed to go anywhere near," Leo said, his voice deepening.
