Chapter 3

"Dinners ready!" Rena yells from the kitchen.
We all pile in and wash up.
"It may not mean anything to you but we say grace before we eat Cel." Nikolai said holding his hand out.
I held it and reached for Heidi's outstretched one.
Rena said grace "Lord please take care of Dmitri. He is a wild one." she finished and we all said amen.
I felt out of place and didn't reach for any food.
"Cel you gotta eat" Nikolai said
"I'm just not really hungry. Im uncomfortable in others homes" I said rubbing my neck.
Nikolai reached for my plate and put a little bit of each of the foods on my plate with a roll
"Here." he said handing it to me
"You don't have to eat all of it but at least eat the chicken and roll. I know they have that in America." he said sternly yet sweet.
I nodded and picked up my spoon and started eating when Anna tapped my leg and said "Try the green stuff. It's really good" she said in a whisper.
I smiled and tried a little bit of it.
It was actually really good.
"Good huh?" She said looking up at me shaking her hips like a dog waging his tail.
"Very" I said poking her
She giggled and ran off with her plate.
Rena was washing hers and took Anna's .
"You done cel?" She asked
"Oh yes. I can wash it if you want me too." I offered
"Oh no I'll do it." she smiled taking the now empty plate from me.
"Thanks" I said
I wonder where Nikolai is
"Nikolai's in his room. Its next to mine" she said smirking
How did she know
"You're thinking out loud cel" she said laughing
"Dammit" I said starting to walk up the stairs hiding my blush.
I walked to a room next too Rena's and I heard talking inside.
"Dear I don't think she's a threat" Heidi says
I didn't want to hear anymore and walked to the next where I heard My Chemical Romance playing and a beautiful voice singing along.
"I am not afraid to keep on living. I am not afraid to walk this world alone. "
Nikolai
Knock knock
"Come in" he said letting his Russian accent come through fully.
I walked in and stood in awe.
There were posters of bands everywhere. Black Veil Brides. Metallica. Pierce the Veil.
I was in heaven.
"Let me guess. Satans music ,eh?" He asked
"No. The best music. Black Veil Brides is my favorite" I said.
"Really? What's your favorite song?" He asks not believing me
"Well the gunsling is my favorite old one. Shadows die is my favorite new one" I said and got the lyrics in my head.
"Wow. Nice to know someone who likes actual good music" he said surprised.
He patted his bed and I walked over and sat next to him leaving my feet hanging off.
"It's nice having someone who understands to talk to" I said sighing "Everyone thinks there satanist and don't even know them."
"I know. it's sad" he said laying back when The westerner by Falling In Reverse came on.
"Oh my god this is my favorite song by them" I said smiling
"You too!?" he said surprised
"Yeah! I love it because it tells everything Ronnie's been through. I like Brother too because if you listen to that knowing Ronnie you really know he poured his soul into it." I said
"Oh my god. Thank you" he said half laughing
"Another thing." I said "I thought you would hate me for Dmitri."
"Yeah.. He's my baby brother. I love him like I love Rena and Anna. But he was never really on our side. Me and my father knew but the rest didn't. We shield them from this. " he said sadly
"Oh ok." I said feeling awkward. " What exactly is your side."
"The side that wants a revolution."
