The Summer of Fighting His Enemies (COMPLETED)

Chapter Thirty-Eight

Alina spent the day watching over her sister who was getting stronger with every passing day. Even though it had been six days since everything had come out, she was still a little shaken by the idea that she had a sister that she never knew about. In fact her whole life had been a lie. Had her fake parents known she wasn't actually their daughter? Was her true father still alive? Alexi had said so, but what if he wasn't now? What if now he had died of old age or coldness, or what if the bad men had gotten to him.

"Hey." A soft hand touched her, pulling her out of her thoughts. She took in her sisters soft round face

"Yeah?"

"Everything okay?"

"Uh huh. Just thinking about our father. Is he still alive?"

"I don't know Alina. I can only hope that he is. And I know he will be so thrilled to see us both return home safely."

"It will be fun to officially meet him. How do you say hello father in Russian?"

"Privet papa."

"Pr-vet papa!"

"No PrIvet papa."

"Oh, Privet papa." danka clapped her hands

"Yes yes! YOu got it! What else do you want to know?"

"Well let me get a notepad, I need to write these words down." Lina left Danka laughing as she went into the living room to get a notepad. When she entered, she saw Alexie on the couch hovering over the coffee table. The fire crackled giving light to the room as the curtains were closed off, covering the dark sky of scariness. Going further she saw him wiping out a gun and polishing. She was still to be honest with herself still a little scared of him, not knowing what he could do at any minute. He glanced over and she jumped slightly and waved

"Hi." He said

"Hi."

"Did you need something?"

"No no, I-I was just getting the notepad."

"Ah okay." He smiled at her. She smiled back quickly before going into the game drawer and grabbing it out. Then she quickly went back into the room and hopped up onto the bed

"Okay, i'm ready now, how do you say Long time no see?" Danka smirked

"I see, you want to say hello, but keep it light by making a joke about not seeing him after a long time?"

"Yes! That is my goal."

"I like it. It is a good idea." Alina smiled widely

"Thank you. So um, how do you say it?"

"Davno ne videlis'"

"Davaano ne Vidlis."

"No no, Videlis."

"Vedilas."

"V and then an I and then delis"

"Ah Videlis"

"Yes you are right!" Danka said clapping

"I don't actually know how to write the words, can you?"

"Sure.' Danka took the notepad from her and wrote it all down. "Now what?"

"My name is Alina...And I am your daughter."

"Okay, this is how you say it, Menya zovut Alina ... I ya tvoya doch'."

"And now if we put it all together, this is what I am going to say, Hello father, long time no see. My name is Alina and I am your daughter. Do you think that is a good greeting?"
