"Is everything okay?" Corey asked as Raven came into the bedroom where Corey was messing around doing something on the computer.
"Nyet," Raven sighed as he plopped down on the bed and groaned.
"What's wrong?" Corey asked turning around to look at him with concern.
"She nyet come home," Raven frowned. "Say belong here but she belong with ME!"
"Shhh, Raven," Corey hushed holding up his hand. "You don't want her to hear how hurt you are, do you?" Raven sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "Can you see where she is coming from?"
"What mean?" He asked confused.
"You are demanding her to give up everything she knows, Raven," Corey tried to explain. "Try to remember how you felt moving to the United States and leaving everything behind here in Russia. She would be coming to a brand new country, not being able to speak the language or know anyone but you. She is still learning us, everything would be changing for her, everything. She's scared Raven. Even though she endured a lot here, there's still good parts here. It's still home to her because of her memories of you are here, your parents are here, ties to you are here."
"But she be with me, be with us," Raven frowned. "She ours."
"I know," Corey nodded, "we know we will be there for her for everything, but she doesn't trust us yet. She only trusts you and while she loves you, she loves you enough to stay away so you can be with us. You need to be patient with her, Raven, and eventually one day we can show her that we are okay with her being with you and one day being with us. You just need to be patient and not just demand."
Raven sighed, "She say something odd."
"What did she say?" Corey asked curiously.
"She say I have 13 husbands not four," he admitted.
Corey thought about it and shrugged, "I can see that happening one day, can you?"
"Maybe," he shrugged.
"We can talk to everyone about it later," Corey smiled softly. "Can you try and be patient with her?"
"Da," he sighed, "but want her come home with us."
"Maybe your parents can help convince her," Axel said from the doorway. "As for the other thing, we're okay with that happening too."
"Медведь! Medved'! (Bear!)" she shouted as she came running up the stairs.
"What?" He asked rushing out into the hallway. "What wrong?"
"Где отец и ваши мужья? Gde otets i vashi muzh'ya? (Where's Father and your husbands?)" She askes in a panic. "Это важно! Они должны вернуться домой СЕЙЧАС! Eto vazhno! Oni dolzhny vernut'sya domoy SEYCHAS! (It's important! They need to come home NOW!)"
Raven frowned, "Did anyone leave?"
"Yeah," Brandon nodded. "Gabe, Luke, Marc, Silas, and Victor left with your father and Mikhail."
"Shit," Raven cursed as he pulled out his phone.
"Da," Nikolai's voice came through.
"ПРИХОДИТЕ ДОМОЙ СЕЙЧАС! PRIKHODITE DOMOY SEYCHAS! (COME HOME NOW!)" Alyona shouted rushing to Raven almost falling but Axel caught her in time as Owen, Sean, Nathan, North, and Kota came rushing into the room. "Пожалуйста, Отец, повернись и иди домой, пожалуйста! Это ловушка, я видел огонь и кровь, повернитесь, пожалуйста! Pozhaluysta, Otets, povernis' i idi domoy, pozhaluysta! Eto lovushka, ya videl ogon' i krov', povernites', pozhaluysta! (Please Father, turn around and come home now, please! It's a trap, I saw fire and blood, turn around, please!)"
"Luke," Nikolai growled, "Get us home now please."
"What the fuck?" Gabe asked.
"Got it," Luke's voice said getting closer to Nikolai. By the time everyone got downstairs, Luke was appearing in the living room with Nikolai, Gabe, and Marc. "I'll be back." He snapped his fingers and disappeared then reappeared with Silas, Victor, and Mikhail.
"Oy, what the fuck is going on?"
"Откройте свою ментальную связь и позвольте Сайласу и Коте показать всем, что вы видели, Киттен, пожалуйста. Otkroyte svoyu mental'nuyu svyaz' i pozvol'te Saylasu i Kote pokazat' vsem, chto vy videli, Kitten, pozhaluysta. (Open your mind link and let Silas and Kota show everyone what you saw Kitten, please.)" Raven watched as Alyona hugged Nikolai tightly.
"Da," she nodded as Natasha came rushing into the room.
"Don't touch her right now Raven," Kota shook his head, "We need to focus strictly on her and if you touch her, we could enter your mind as well."
"Da," Raven nodded as he took a step away from her. He didn't like it but he understood. "Open mind link, Kitten, accept all." He then repeated it in Russian as she sat in the middle of the living room floor and crossed her legs as she tried to calm down.
"Let her know that she could get light-headed after this," Silas said as he sat on one side of her and Kota sat on the other.
The next thing they saw in their minds was Alyona entering the living room and picking up Nikolai's glass to take it to the kitchen then gasp. A road was in front of her and Nikolai was driving as she was in the passenger seat. They were on a road pulling up to a building. He was talking to someone but she couldn't see who it was. There were swirls of ocean blue, dark blue, baby blue, orange, and silver surrounding the inside of the car and what was fascinating was that brown was blended into the colors as well. As she and Nikolai got out of the car a sickening feeling surrounded her as silence was in the air, there wasn't even crickets chirping or birds singing. Men walked past her but she couldn't tell who they were other than they were tied to Raven somehow. Just as she saw them enter the building the ground started rumbling under her feet and there was a loud explosion knocking her to the ground as her breath left her. Her skin burned and started to blister as blood seeped from somewhere under her then everything went dark. She gasped, snapping back to reality as the glass dropped onto the carpet. "Yevgeny," she whispered as she rushed to the stairs.
"Shit," Gabe gasped as Silas and Kota removed their hands breaking the memory.
"Thank you," Natasha said hugging Alyona tightly. "Thank you save family."
Alyona nodded as Raven pulled her to lay her head in his lap. He ran his fingers through her hair as she closed her eyes and he looked at everyone. They all shared a silent look between them.
