Abandoned Soul (Complete)

meeting them

Sang

To say I wasn't nervous when uncle Nickolai and Dimitri drove me out to my grandparents home would be an understatement,to think I have blood family that might actually want me. As we wind the roads into the mountains I kept but help but the look at the view, since the forest and woods is always my favorite place to be, I'm always looking for a climbing tree to be closer to the stars. Upon reaching the end of the drive we come upon a huge Russian castle. My eyes wide and jaw dropped I couldn't even begin to imagine living here,but apparently this is where my mother's family lives. When uncle Nickolai stops the car. Dimitri gets out to open my door, I look around the massive green lawns and blooming gardens and can't wait to explore the secrets of this place. With a castle like this,there is probably many hidden passages. Luke and I could have fun in here that's for sure. Wow I haven't thought of my dreamer in awhile. But I guess he belongs to her now, but while I may still hurt from their betrayal in all ways. They will always be my first loves.

As uncle Nickolais leads us up the grand staircase I can't help but stare at the wolf statue's that greet us before the massive doors. Upon entering the castle huge grand foyer and staircase going up both sides of the great hall.

When I look to my left I can see a huge study with shelves upon shelves covered in books of all kinds and I can't wait to tackle them. When I look to my right upon hearing a gasp, I look to the people who I could only assume are my grandparents. Nikita and Adrik Orlov, upon looking into the woman who I presume is my grandmother, I see she has the same color as my eyes and my grandfather with a deeper shade of green.

Both tall and strong looking, really makes me wonder where my short stature comes from. Nobody else in my family that I am aware of stands at only five foot. And behind them is a Russian god. Dark hair cut short, beautiful soulful but sharp eyes. Gorgeous in everyway. Probably stands about 6'6". I can't help but giggle at the height comparison between him and myself if we were to stand next to each other since I know Silas the tallest of the blackbourne team stands about 6'3".  This guy is even more muscular than Nathan, to the point his black shirt is stretched to the point of no return,can I just say yummy.

But when our eyes met, I swear he could see right into the depths of my very broken and abandoned Soul. With the way his eyes roamed over me and back to my eyes, I think the ice that was forming over my heart just cracked a little bit on the surface.

Nikita

When Nickolai entered the house with Dimitri, I couldn't help but be anxious to meet my first born grand daughter. For if the family sees fit,she is the rightful heir to the Russian empire. We may not be kings and queens royalty,but we are the heads of the Russian Mafia and our word is law. When I didn't see her at first,I was a little disappointed that maybe she chose not to come,but when Dimitri stepped a little to the left, all I saw was a little girl with chameleon hair like her.mother uses to have. And when she turned to face us,I couldn't help but gasped,first not only did she look like my melody,but she was stunning in her small petite way. And more woman and older than I thought. I couldn't help the tears that formed in my eyes. For eighteen years,I have missed to be a doting grandmother to my eldest granddaughter. Sure Nickolais and Anastasia gave me two granddaughters,but they are only ten and eight,but Melody managed to birth a beautiful girl,more gorgeous than I thought before she passed. And I think for the first time in a while I was rendered speechless while I continue to look at her. The only thing I want to know right now is why her eyes look so dead,like her soul has been abandoned and how do I help bring back the light that should be shining within. From what Dimitri told us when he found her when she turned up on the academies radar and he had to be in disguise as volto to gain her trust. She has been abused by her stepmother and her father was very neglectful. Stupid man. At sixteen she was rescued by nine academy boys whom she fell in love with and the last six months she has been living here in Russia after their ultimate betrayal. But can't say I didn't mind,now she can truly be with family and within a year take over the family business so that Adrik and I can step down. From this day forward she will no longer bear her father's name,she will be known as an Orlov. If that is her wish. She will have the best trainers,the best Russian drs to help her heal completely. And when she's ready, she will find herself a proper man,I know her grandfather wouldn't care who as long as he treats her the she deserves.

Adrik
To finally meet my first born grandchild and granddaughter is a blessing in itself. For we have told no one but Nikita's health is taking a toll and this was her true one wish to meet and love melody's daughter before she past. And hopefully,we can put the life back into her while we show her love and what a true family is. Upon gazing at her I can't help my feet and walk to her and pull her in for a well long deserved hug. And I relish in the fact she didn't even hesitate like I thought she would. For to me she has come home to her true family.

I can't help but melt into my grandfather's arms. He like Dimitri it felt safe and felt like home,where I truly belonged. After a few moments,my grandmother also came into the embrace,I felt the air shift meaning everyone else left to give us this moment to ourselves. When grandmother joined us I didn't even flinch at her touch. Which is saying a lot. And I wonder if I was to look at my eyes now,if they would have shown a sliver of the little bit of light coming through the cracks. Maybe this,this right here is what I needed to get bring me back from the shell of a girl I was becoming. Maybe they are the light to my darkness at this point in time. Maybe I can be repaired after all. They say a grandparents love us like no other,it's special just like your parents is supposed to be,well we know how that turned out for me,but to be embraced with open arms regardless of my past truly is a miracle for me.no judgement,cause let's face it,with volto aka Dimitri with me longer than I probably knew.they know the extent of my recent years and what has happened to me. Because I met volto at sixteen and he has been in and out of my life since then,I can only hope he will be by my side till the end,not as my bodyguard,but also as my best friend
