Lost Soul (Book #1)

13|Interrupted

Anastasia's POV:

As we stepped foot in the house I saw a big banner that said welcome back. I was not expecting that at all. I hadn't established good relationships with all my brothers, so I was feeling a bit awkward.

There were two people who I have not ever met before. The girl with blue hair looked my age, and the other man looked old he was tall like my brothers. He was littered with tattoos. I felt so underdressed. Rosalie came running up to me and hugged me.

"Come on honey I made some food" She took me to the table which was filled with food. I sent a smile to my brothers and the other two people that were there. Rosalie filled my plate with food, that I knew I wasn't going to finish.

We were in the living room and everyone was talking. I ended up finishing most of the food and now I was laying my head on Adrian's shoulder. I just wanted to slip into my food coma. The twins and Alexei were fighting because they couldn't decide what movie to put on.

"Can you bring Salem down," I whispered to Adrian, I just wanted to cuddle with her. I missed her, I also wanted to meet Echo. He nodded and went to get her. Adrik stood up and came to sit next to me. He just took Adrian's spot. I decided that I would tell him that I wanted to talk to him alone. I didn't want my other brothers to know just yet. I tugged his sleeve to get his attention.

"Can we talk later, I'm ready," I told him, and gave me an encouraging smile. Just then Adrian came back with Salem in his arms glaring at Adrik.

"Adrik not fair I was sitting there." He whined, this only caused Adrik to roll his eye. I found this stupid because there was space next to me.

"Adrian there is literally space next to her sit there, and don't complain." Adrian did as he was told, but not before huffing and making unnecessary noise to show Adrik that he was mad. I grabbed Salem from his hands and just started to cuddle her. I hadn't even noticed that a movie was playing I think it was called Rosemary's baby. I shivered and Adrian threw a black fluffy blanket over me.

I wasn't really paying attention to the movie, I was enjoying the scene in front of me. This is the feeling that I have yearned for. Being around family feeling carefree and happy. Happy. It was something that I had not felt in years. I wonder how different my life would have been if I grew up with them. Adrian had answered some of my questions, he said the rest should be answered by Adrik. All he told me is that they believed that I was dead, I was never born. When asked about our mother I could see the pain in his eyes so I decided to drop it. I also wanted to ask about my father I had seen the pictures of him and he looked really scary, but in all fairness, all my brothers did too.

I also did notice the amount of security that they had, but it was justified because according to Adrian the Vassiliev name was well known meaning a lot of jealous people.

I was currently sitting in Adrik's office. I was nervous my palms were sweating, I rubbed them against my sweatpants. We were sitting on the couch. I didn't know where to begin.

"I see the conflict in your eyes, why don't you tell me about your first family." I just noded

"Well, all my life I've lived in Montana, moved around from city to city. I lived a good life until I was about 7 years old. I remember always hearing my parents fighting in the night about owing money I think. They never fought in front of me.

I remember one night I was waiting for my mom to come up to read me a bedtime story, but she came into the room looking scared. She told me that we were going to play a game, where we were quiet and hid in the closet. We were in the closet for a while when a man came into the room, he seemed to know her. They yelled back and forth, he beat her to death as I watched. He made me watch as he shot her in the head. He told me that he would be back for me and left. I never questioned why the police were never involved in her death.

Gerald the man I thought was my father went down a spiral. Constantly getting drunk doing drugs. He would blame me for her death, he took out his rage on me." By this point, I was in tears just remembering. Adrik was just hugging me. I needed a moment before I continued because it just got worse from there.

Before I could continue someone came barging in, he was speaking another language. This made Adrik go stiff and he just nodded he looked mad.

"Look baby I need to go do something really important, but we will continue this. Your brothers and I need to leave but don't worry Rosalie will be here with you. Come on I'll walk you to your room." He was acting calm.

I was now in my room, I pressed my ear to the door because I could hear faint talking in the hallway. They weren't talking in English, all I knew is that it was Russian.

"How the hell did they find out about her," Alexei said faintly.
