My Sunflower in Blood

Chapter Five.

Running, for what seemed like hours, we finally came across a road, and looking down it, seeing all white. Well, the only thing we could do was follow it, and see if it lead anywhere that isn't close to Ivan. So, as Yao had directed, along with the agreement of Eduard, we followed the long road, leading us through harsh, cold, snow. We wrapped ourselves in two thick blankets, all huddled together in a group.

Though, we stopped at times, when there were bushes, or old trees, to have a break- Eat snacks we had brought, go to use the 'bathroom' in the trees, or just rest our feet. Although, we couldn't stop for a while, because Raivis had remembered that Ivan had a car in a garage, so if he had decided to drive by, he'd most likely kill all of us. That reminds me- I wonder what happened to Ivan anyway? The last I saw him was when he chased off Eduard. That's odd. Did he take a break from looking, or something?

I shook off the thoughts of Ivan, as it brought back the Toris guy, who had seemed too kind, to die in such a horrid way- Ivan killing him. I think that the body in the corner of the room was Toris' too. It had long hair, just like Toris, and it was the only other person, unless.. Ivan had decided to kill another person. But wait- No. I remember that I'd heard Eduard say something in that room about 'Toris' and 'Ivan' doing something to him. So, it probably was Toris.

I sighed out loud, that guy really didn't deserve that. He comforted me when I was scared, and his punishment is death. Only because Ivan was jealous. Tch, that jerk. I really hope he doesn't find us, and kill Eduard, Raivis, Yao or my sisters. I'd risk myself for them if I had too, really. I love them all, Eduard and Raivis had comforted me and helped me eat, Yao had saved all our lives, and my sisters- I don't know what I'd do without my sisters. I'd miss them a lot if they'd died. I almost forgot, Raivis and Eduard had risked themselves for me too. They're way too kind to live in such a cruel place with Ivan. That monster.

At least we got out, safe and sound. But, to survive we will have to walk through this snow, for who knows how long? We've already been walking for approximately two or three hours, and luckily, no sign of Ivan. At least he hadn't caught us... Yet.

Walking for however long, we all finally reached a highway, with very few cars going by. As Eduard came up with the idea of attempting to stop a car, we all agreed, and after a few minutes or so, we got someone with a large truck to stop, telling us to get in the trunk.

"Thanks..." Eduard told them through the back window, smiling slightly. At least we wouldn't have to walk all the way to a town, or city for safety.

"No problem." The man in the front answered back, grinning back to Eduard.

"Hey... Is it you... Alfred?" Yao asked, looking through the window.

"What?" He looked back at Yao, and laughed. "Yao? What're you guys doing out here? Shouldn't you be with Ivan or something?" He finished, chuckling afterwards.

Yao nodded, "Yes but... Something happened-aru." He told him, sitting back down in his seat beside Raivis.

"Oh.." He replied, sounding less enthused than he did a second ago.

"Well.. What're you doing here?" Yao asked with curiosity. 'Why would Alfred be driving around in Russia?'

"World meeting, remember?" He told him, raising an eyebrow, looking back to the front.

"Oh yeah.. I forgot about that-aru." He replied, chuckling quietly. World meeting? I questioned myself. Maybe they all work together or something.

The whole drive was really long though, and very quiet, until Alfred finally announced, "We're here guys."

Though, almost everyone had fallen asleep- Really just, my sisters, Eduard and Raivis. I guess they didn't get good rest at Ivan's place at all...
