_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Aurora's eyes fell open, she looked around not being able to move. her head was spinning and her body wasn't functioning. she jerks her hand and whimpers in pain, noticing it was cuffed into chair. Suddenly she hears familiar male voice. It was the same voice she's heard in speaker. Thick Russian accent and a lot of mistakes "ah wonderful Ms. Regulus, it's a pleasure to meet you" he purred politely, however, his plastered smile spoke other things "I'm sorry sir but who are you?" Aurora half whispered, holding herself back from crying "Mr Solovyov" her eyes widened in surprise as the man approached her. He looked exactly like Ivan. From his eyes to facial features and even manners. He didn't look liked murderer "Рада вас видеть, но спешу сказать что я не Регулус (It's nice to meet you too, but I'm not Regulus)" Rory answered, keeping her confident demeanour. She could tell the man was just as surprised "Русская? Да ещё и с манерами? Но не Регулус? Предполагаю Авейро? (Russian? With great manners? Yet not Regulus? I believe Aveiro then?)" Solovyov questionned her endlessly but all Aurora could hear was her surname. She nodded, shutting her eyes in pain. Her wrists were covered in bruises and her perfect olive skin had several blue prints, here and there. The man gently lifted her chin up, grinning wickedly. He had the same mischievous pair of dimples like Ivan "I see my son has a great taste, you look exactly like his mother... too bad he already has a fiancé" he squished her cheeks as Rory hissed quietly, holding her tears back. her head hung low again, saving her last droplet of hope.

vanessas eyebrows kept narrowing together, catching aleksanders attention. "vanessa!" the boy picked up the small girl and placed her on the bed, it was only moments till he got a text from his one and only brother — ivan. 'they got her, i dont know where to go or what to do alek i need your help..' aleksander ran his hands through his coiled hair as he looked over at vanessa, the girl slowly was waking up as she started to touch her forehead "where am i?" the girl got off the bed and stood up as she saw the dark-toned man standing in front of her. "nessa—" alek began yet he was cut off "cut the bullshit wheres aurora— ivan. wheres he?" the girl paced around as she kept her hands on her head. "nessa please sit down your wounded still.." the boy quickly got some water and pills for her pains whilst approaching vanessa. "leave me alone." the girl growled at him as he settled the waterbottle and pills on the table as his hands kept a tight grip around the girls arms, "listen to me vanessa—" he sat her down with a frown, "no one knows where the fuck aurora is but what we know is that my father got her." vanessas eyes widened "aleksander. fucking tell me right now where is my baby." she got up as her over-protective side started to take over "wheres ivan?" the stubborn girl got out of the boys grip and took some of the tablets as she swallowed water. "i- i dont know.." aleksander closed his eyes and walked over to the balcony, his eyes still on the petite girl watching her moves. her arms far apart as her nails started digging into the table, she stretched out her neck and turned around "we need to find ivan and help him." vanessa was still in her dress and high heels, dried blood on her chest and neck as her hands were covered in blood. aleksander nodded as he grabbed his vest with two guns inside the pockets and put on his blazer, the girl grabbed her purse and placed in her own gun. "where do you have that from?" the curious boy asked as he rubbed his face, "dont worry about that." vanessa replied and walked out of the hotel room.

the couple walked down the stairs making sure they got their weapons ready for anything, "you should maybe call ivan you know.." nessa suggested to the tall boy as he looked down at her with a slight smirk, "dont you think you're getting a bit too dominant?" alek asked as he took out his phone to check any texts from ivan as well as others. "no. in fact i feel like im more smarter than you-'' the girls sentence was cut off by a gun shot fired in a wall, a miss. aleksander and vanessa ducked down quickly getting their guns out, tight grip around them as they slowly walked down the stairs still crouched. nessa looked over at the boy and singled to him to stay behind however alek wasnt so keen with that as his hand grabbed the girls arm. he sneaked in front of her and began to walk more forward soon seeing a couple of men with their weapons ready. aleksander nodded at vanessa as they both started to shoot from different angles. vany stood up her arms stretched out aiming her targets right as she began walking next to aleksander. both of them won this duel as they started to run down the stairs avoiding the blood all over the walls and carpet. "seems like someones taught you.." a dark low voice crawled up vanessas back as she turned around and saw ivan "ivan! oh my god— where is aurora?" the worried petite girl looked up at the 6 feet tall man. "i would like to know that as well vanessa. sadly we will need to track her down." the egoistic boy whipped out his phone and started to search for the girl. "what i've done is ive place a small chip in dads car—" alek interrupted his brother, "him. not dad." the cold tone could be sensed from miles away. "uh— yes his car. so what we are going to do is, go on a drive." ivan walked out the hotel with aleksander and vanessa behind him, "ladies first." he opened the back door as he gave a smile, "could've done it myself thanks." nessa gave him a sarcastic smile as she got in the car and probed herself up fixing her dress. aleksander rolled his eyes and got in the front seat as ivan got in the drivers seat and began driving to the location. the anticipation flooded the car with a tense mood as ivan pressed down on the accelerator pedal and changed gears to the 6th one.

the trio got out the car, vanessa with her little clutch around her neck, alek with two guns and ivan with his fists and a gun probably. all of them broke into the building, seeing all the black interior covering the rooms, alek and nessa looked over at ivan for instructions. "dont worry ive sent my guys to look around as well, everyone split. if you stumble across some men— you know what to do." ivan let out a deep sigh as he began walking forward as alek walked up the right hand side stairs and vany headed to the left hand side stairs. the girls hands were tightly wrapped around the gun, sweat was slowly building as she stepped carefully around the floor. the gun right in her chin as she listened to any creaks or voices. small mumbles came from a book shelf. vanessa narrowed her eyebrows as she started texting the brothers to come to her. nessa approached the book shelf, looking around to see any books that stood out of anything on the side. soon spotting a square button. "nessa." aleks voice made the girl turned around with the gun pointed straight to his forehead. "alek.." the gir dropped her arms and rose her eyebrows to the book shelf as she pressed the button. slowly the shelf came part leading to a door. "woah.." vany admired the cleverness as she smiled but soon dropped it when ivan looked at her with a cold look, "sorry..". ivan opened the door as aleksander came from behind and soon vanessa. the old man turned to see the trio behind him with his soldiers already having their guns up. "ah. ivan and aleksander. look whose here, miss Averio." he gave a smile as he moved out of the sight and shine his gold tooth. "now lets not be stupid and make any bad decision here eh?" vanessa moved from aleksanders back as she wiped some of the blood from her cheek. "listen. you better let her fucking go or else ill put a bullet through your head." the girl growled, her deep and dark eyes started into the old mans soul as her messy smoky eyes became more of a badass and scary look. "miss Regulus im guessing? of course, two best friends and completely different." Mr Solovyov chuckled and raised his arms as nessa let out a deep sigh looking over at aurora with a frown, "you fucking piece-" the girl didnt have enough time to finish her wording as she fired a bullet in his thigh making him collapse to the floor. shots being fired from all directions now as ivan and aleksander joined the girl. as they were all fighting vanessa quickly untied the girls hands together and let her go freely. "Nessa? are you okay?" aurora noticed the blood all over her, "dont worry about me, how are you?" vanessa asked back as the blonde girl nodded and smiled slightly. the girls held each others hands as nessa whistled loudly "all of you. lay a fucking finger on this girl and ill kill you myself." vanessa had her gun up against Mr Solovyovs head as she smirked. the guards however started to shoot against her direction, making alek stepping forward to save the girl "vanessa keep your mouth closed for fucks sakes." aleksander growled at her making her confidence drop a bit as ivan shot the guards himself. his hands gently reached for aurora, holding her by the waist, trying to keep her close.
