The Secret Sister

Chapter 49:Panic

"Tori you don't have anything for breakfast" Tony yelled through the house

"What" I yelled running into the kitchen, sliding across my black marble tile. Running into the kitchen counter

"Yeah you have no food" he said pointing to the empty cupboards

"Yelena" I yelled through the house, but the house stayed quiet. "Jarvis, where is Yelena?" I asked the AI system I put into the house

"She is hiding in her room" Jarvis said robotically

"Traitor" I heard her yell

"Yelena I'm coming for you" I said taking off towards her room

I ran through the house, busting in her room. I jumped on her bed, "Ow" she said giggling

"Why is there no food in the house" I said putting my hands on my hips

"I was going to go grocery shopping last night but then you showed up and I totally forgot about it" she said squirming away from me

"Okay well that's a good excuse because now I have to go to Mama's and get breakfast such a shame" I said getting off the bed and walking out of the room "You go grocery shopping and maybe I'll bring you back something from Mama's" I said smirking

"Your mean" she said, I could hear the bed creaking from her getting out of the bed

I walked out of the room and walked back into the kitchen. Anya was pouting in a chair "Baby what's wrong?" I asked walking over to her

I crouched down in front of her, and she looked up into my eyes. "Mama me hungry" a tear fell down her face

"Say Aunty Yelena didn't get you food huh" I wiped away her tears, "Should we go get breakfast at Mama's?" I asked her smiling

"Mama's" she said loudly smiling

"Yes Mama's it's been a while since I've seen Aunty Charlotte" I said happily

"Yay" she said, jumping off the chair and running out of the kitchen as fast as she could. I reached for her pushed out chair and pushed it in, getting a major shock. Electricity running through my body again

Sending images through my mind, Dreykov started to pry his way back into my brain. No I wouldn't let him, he can't. I'm here with Anya, and my family. I have to stay strong

I slowly but steadily walked over to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water out of the cupboard, I filled it with water out of the sink and drank it, taking a deep breath

My breathing became a little ragged, my vision blurring and my hearing gone. My hand was gripping the counter but shaking uncontrollably. I tried counting to ten taking deep breaths between each number

Nothing was working, I tried getting my mind to think of anything but Dreykov, but it wasn't working. Clenching my hands together, or squeezing my fingers wasn't working either. I even hit the wall a few times which made my knuckles bleed, a picture frame fell off the wall and shattered on the floor

A person came running into the room, they stopped in the doorway and just watched me. "Mom?" the little voice asked

I looked up tears welling in my eyes, "Help" faintly came out in a shallow whisper voice. I saw the little girl that's known as my own run out of the room. I was left alone at least this time there was light.

"Anya, why are you pulling me?" Asked a male voice getting louder and louder with each word said.

A big figure walked through the doorway with a little girl holding their hand, before a hand was raised up at me and I flinched. I cowered down onto the floor and I started crying.

"Tori" I heard a voice call out running to me, I looked up. I could make out the figure as Steve due to his features and height. He reached his hand towards my face, flinching, he stopped midaction "Oh babe what happened to you?" he asked

Although I could barely understand what he said, I slowly moved towards him. Once I got into his arms I put my arms around his neck and my head on his chest. I could feel his hands moving through my hair, up and down my back trying to calm me down.

"Steve" I choked on his name

"I'm here Babe and I won't let anything happen to you" he said pulling me closer into him

I kept quiet and rode off my attack in the safety of my loves arms, him just holding me and not pressing for any information. He is just worried about my overall health and that's what needs to be focused on right now.

A few stray sobs would leave my mouth every once in a while and it was just Steve, Anya, and I in the kitchen sitting in silence. I looked up and saw Anya just staring at me and Steve "Anya come here baby" I said, taking my arms away from Steve and opening them for her to come to me.

"Mama okay?" she asked, looking into my eyes.

"Yes I'm okay" I said, giving her a smile.

Anya took my face in her hands and wiped away my tears. "There no more tears" she smiled, sounding happy.

"Yes no more tears" I said smiling back at her before looking up to see Steve smiling at the both of us. One big happy but messed up family at last
