setting ablaze ( a queen is born)

Happy Family

The drive was quiet as if everyone got the memo of anticipation in the air. Trees seemed to pass by, and the furthere they went, the fewer houses appeared in their line of view. The car pulled in front  of the giant gate. The gate was all black with the family crest boldly at the center, a snake with a dagan passing right through it, the top of the dagger had a skeleton head on it with two dead roses design on the blade. The gate opened after some time, and the whole compound was littered with armed men. The door opened, and they stepped out with  Helena  being  the first to get out, followed  by Amara, then Marcus. As if on que,  Russo, along with the twins following  closely behind him, also made his way towards them. Amara scoffed at the sight. It seemed  they were still little  puppies  trailing  behind their father. Before they could reach them, however, barks echoed throughout the compound.  Heads turned sharply  as two great Danes made their way towards them.  Amara crouched down to pat their heads. Different emotions run through  her as she saw them. Of course, she was happy to see them, but it seemed she had messed a lot judging from their size. She held the tags in their collars to see their name 'hell' and 'hound' she had been little when she got them so she didn't really name them, the only person who knew what she wanted to name them was Luca, the elderst of the twins. Getting  up and dusting her hands, she turned to face the man she hopped to never see again, her father. He ushered them inside as they passed by some maids and guards who refused  to make eye contact  with them. When they were inside, he turned towards them before saying what was on his mind. " I know it was not easy for you to be here, but I'm grateful you came. I hope you all enjoy your stay and that at the end of this we ....." , he was suddenly cut off by  Amara, " can we just stop all of this , it's giving  me a headache, we didn't come hear to play family,  we came for business  so save us the speech and let's get this over with " she said with annoyance.  Helena opened  her mouth to scold her daughter only to be beaten by Russo, " It's okay, let me show you to your rooms." Amara huffed and followed behind him. The first room they stopped at was on the ground  floor, second door to the left . The door was like all the other doors except it had the name Marcus curved into it." I had it done yesterday  since you were coming so that you don't enter the wrong room." Marcus opened  the door to see inside  the room. It was spacious with a light grey interior and a light touch of gold. The bed was a king sized bed that was at the far end of the room, the screen was at the other end along with some computer  tech and games for him , it looked just like his room back home only that this time it was bigger and more cool looking , even the interior  was the same. He turned to his father and was lost of word to say cause he was overwhelmed with all that had happened  so far, so instead, he just gave a little smile. " I hope you like it, but if it's not to your teste , I'll let you brothers go along with you to pick what you like" , but he shook his head at the suggestion. "Dinner  is at 6, Maria will come and remind you when it's time.  The twins' rooms are opposite  yours in case you need anything and your sister's  room is two doors away from yours to, you must be tired so I'll leave you to rest". Marcus  just shook his head and then entered the room. Next, he went to Amara's  room,just like the previous one, her name was also curved into the door. Opening  the door, a wave of memories flooded her mind at once, casing her to finch a little. " I didn't change a thing, I hope it's alright with you," Russo said with nervousness in his voice . Why was he nervous, she thought ? She just sighed and replied through her teeth before shouting the door, preventing any further questions.  By this time, it was just left with Russo  and Helena cause the twims had something to attend to. Russo walked Helena towards her old room before they moved in together. When they reached the door, which happened  to be directly adjacent his,he held the handle of the door. Looking into her eyes, he sighed before getting  everything off his chest." Helena, I'm sorry for everything I put you through,  I know that I can never do anything  to take back the pain or bring back the time. But I appreciate  you coming and giving me a chance to redeem myself . I won't blame you if you don't forgive me, but please try to open up for me. " He wiped the lone tear that was trailing down her face and then kissed her forehead before turning to head back  towards his room. Helena let out a breath before lifting her head to see his back," Russo, it's Amara who needs your apologies the most." With that, she entered  her room,shut the door, and slid on the floor cause her legs felt too weak to hold her weight up. She plundered on what just transpired. She knew that deep down, it would be hard being next to him without all the ignored  feelings resurfacing, but she was willing to put up a fight.
