Letter.

She woke up with an uneasy feeling in her stomach her gut warning her about something. Ilya got dressed in a white collared dress and white sneakers with a golden heart locket to pull it all together she ran out the door not wanting to be in her suffocating dorm any longer she ended up in the reception office asking around about her recent letters to find that she only had one letter, curiosity got the worse of her and she decided to open it while walking to her first class of the day stopping midway when she laid eyes on the horrifying words that stained the paper in her hands "your mother passed away, I'm sorry kids "  Her world halted her ears began ringing and her head started to whirl Ilya gazed up at the sky her mother was dead she kept repeating to herself not noticing Judas approaching her walking away from the Greek class that was also watching her
" Are you alright? You've been standing still for five minutes now" judas humorously called out Ilya didn't say anything except slamming the letter onto his chest sending him stumbling back in shock calling out for her as she walked back to her dorm with blood dripping from her palms onto her dress from pushing her nails into her porcelain skin and cutting them open she heard Judas gasping after finally reading the letter from their father announcing their precious mother was gone .dead. his father explained the reason being suicide by throwing herself off the hospital window that she pried open he also explained the suicide note that she left along with her will and titles distributing them equally between her two children she thought of everything except the lifelong emptiness she created in her children as they read the letter. three people died that morning, Katrina Maria Ivanov, Ilya Maria Ivanov, and Judas Alexander Ivanov all deaths were caused by their hearts drying out into ashes.

"𝐈𝐋𝐘𝐀 𝐅𝐄𝐋𝐓 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆" as she packed her warm clothes for Russia she was going to stay for three days and judas for six days he always was the mama's boy so it didn't surprise her or anybody that he was staying a bit longer than her, Ilya could feel the pitiful glances that were thrown at her by students passing her dorm room she kept the door open not wanting to cry she knew the second she was alone that she would crumble like a cookie so she took the busier way to the dorms and kept her door open Her frantic packing slowed down when a knock was heard echoing through the beige colored halls of the building Ilya turned her head slightly to the door not expecting to see short blonde hair. Camilla Macaulay stood in Ilyas room slightly overwhelmed with all the red and black decor confirming the thoughts she had about the young Russian girl her room was vampiric with a taste of female rage and classism the room was also humongous with a bathroom connected to it the biggest dorm in all of Hampden she assumed how very fitting for a girl of higher status to get the best dorm room but that wasn't why she was there Camilla was there to comfort Ilya as much as she could she knew the pain of losing a parent very intimately, the golden-haired girl laid the boxes of pastries and chocolates down on Ilyas desk, and began to help her pack both girls working in silence, the only acknowledgment Camilla got from the vampiric girl was a nod to a Gucci turtleneck telling Camilla to drop it into her leather Goyard trunk that had the letter "K" painted on it after rummaging through half of her closet Ilya was left alone again alone with her thoughts she shook away most of them looking out her window to see a black tinted Mercedes waiting outside knowing the car was for the Ivanov siblings they both left their dorms at the same time Judas handling both their trunks when he saw Ilya had her hands full with two boxes even in mourning he cared about her well being more, as Ilya walked outside she made eye contact with Henry he was standing next to bunny who looked sad to see his friends leave Ilyas eyes found Henry's again and all he did was sent her off with a nod a promise of sorts a promise that she'll be fine . Ilya sat down next to Judas in the car the unbearable silence starting to bother both children Judas whispered to the driver to turn on the radio anything was better than the growing silence in the car Star-man by Bowie started to play both children relaxing in their seats thankful for the radio and even more thankful for the dashing man that was Bowie
                                          "There's a star man waiting in the sky"
He'd like to come and meet us but he thinks he'll blow our minds "

          The siblings sang along with Bowie while holding each other's hands Judas had his head on Ilyas's shoulder her cashmere sweater soaking up all his tears and the song drowning out the sobs Ilya took away her hand from his and fed him chocolates and pasties the whole ride to the airport bottling up her own emotions for the sake of her younger brother she knew the bottle was starting to crack like a China cup .
