You Kept Your Promise

Chapter 4

Anastasia opened her eyes and groaned as pain radiated through her stomach and chest. There was movement in the room and then Raven was looking down at her.

"Kitten okay?" He asked as he put the oxygen mask over her mouth and nose to help her breathe better. She barely nodded and he smiled softly. "Больше никогда меня так не пугай, ты меня слышишь? Bol'she nikogda menya tak ne pugay, ty menya slyshish'? Don't ever fucking scare me like that again, do you hear me?"

"Da," She said softly.

"Hey, she's awake," Sean smiled as he came into the room. "How are you feeling, Anastasia?"

"Hurt," She said as she pushed the mask off of her. Raven watched her closely.

"I'm sorry the pain medicine isn't working, I will give you a stronger dose in just a little bit. I have to check your wounds first and ask you some questions before I give you something that may make you sleepy, is that okay?" he asked as he checked her pulse.

"Da," She said softly.

"Does it hurt to breathe?" Sean asked and she nodded. "Is it okay if I lift your gown to check your wounds?" She nodded again and he checked. "Can you tell us who stabbed you?"

"Net," She said, "mask, tall, brown eyes."

"Can you tell me if the man was American or Russian?" Sean asked and she shook her head.

"Net, no talk," She said and Raven growled. "Okay Bear."

"Net," Raven growled. "I no kill no find hurt you."

"Мы уже знаем, что он работает на людей, которые держали меня в плену, Рэйвен. Ты не хуже меня знаешь, что его послали заставить меня замолчать о том, где я был и кто держал меня в плену. Успокойся, пожалуйста, теперь я в порядке, когда ты меня нашел. My uzhe znayem, chto on rabotayet na lyudey, kotoryye derzhali menya v plenu, Reyven. Ty ne khuzhe menya znayesh', chto yego poslali zastavit' menya zamolchat' o tom, gde ya byl i kto derzhal menya v plenu. Uspokoysya, pozhaluysta, teper' ya v poryadke, kogda ty menya nashel. We already know he works for the people that kept me prisoner, Raven. You know as well as I do that he was sent to silence me on where I have been and who kept me prisoner. Calm down please, I am okay now that you found me."

"Da," Raven said as he held her hand. "Я нашел тебя, и мы будем держать тебя в безопасности. Вы останетесь с нами, и мы найдем, кто вас обидел. Когда мы узнаем, кто это был, я им покажу, что я русский профессиональный, и убью их. Я клянусь. YA nashel tebya, i my budem derzhat' tebya v bezopasnosti. Vy ostanetes' s nami, i my naydem, kto vas obidel. Kogda my uznayem, kto eto byl, ya im pokazhu, chto ya russkiy professional'nyy, i ub'yu ikh. YA klyanus'. I found you and we will keep you safe. You will stay with us and we will find who hurt you. When we find out who it was, I will show them that I am a professional Russian and kill them. I swear it."

"Where all husbands?" She asked trying to focus on something else.

"They are waiting outside," Sean said as he covered her up. "Everything looks good, you are healing well. They wanted to make sure you were comfortable with meeting all of us first. We didn't want to overwhelm you since we know we are a large group."

"You happy Bear?" She asked and Raven nodded. "Good, I meet. Glad make happy."

"I will go get them Raven," Sean said and Raven nodded. A few minutes later the rest of the group came in and introduced themselves.

"Nice meet you," She said after Raven helped her sit up.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Owen said as they smiled softly at her.

She had light brown hair and dark honey amber colored eyes. Her rose shaped lips were slightly swollen and looked so kissable. She had a few bruises across her face and Sean said she had some over her body as well. She put up a hell of a fight to escape where she was being held. She took their breath away and didn't even realize it. They instantly wanted to protect her and they barely even knew her, other than what Raven and Corey told them.

"Tell me husbands Bear," she said as she tried to stifle a yawn.

Raven smiled as he watched Sean removed a needle from her IV, the pain medicine was already working. "I tell wake up. Sleep Kitten, we keep safe." He intertwined his fingers in hers and rubbed his thumb over the top of her hand.
