You sat next to Ivan on his couch. You watched him sip up his vodka quickly. The sunflowers in a vase in the center of the table were wilted and brown. They made the room look darker than it was. It was raining outside, and the light bulbs were not working. Then, you begin to here soft cackles and evil whispers.

"Ivan?" You stated, trying to recieve his attention.

"Da?" He responded.

"I think I hear voices..." You say, curling up into a ball.

"What do they sound like?" He asked.

"Well, its definatly a female." You reply. "They're saying, 'Marry me, marry me, marry me, brother!' Its very weird..."

You see his face go from unamused to sheer terror. Oh no, you thought. If Ivan is scared, no one is safe!

"Quick!" He ordered in a whisper. "Get into the closet!" You nodded, crawling into the closet quickly and quietly. Ivan hopped inside after you, closing the door, locking it, and leaning his back against the door.

"What are we hiding from?" You question.

"Natalia!" He squeaked. "She's out for me!"

"Isn't she your sister?"

"Da!"

"Then why is she out to get you?"

"She's crazy... She wants me to marry her! I don't want to marry her!" He squealed, grabbing your shirt. You patted the top of his head and looked into the darkness of the room.

Scratches are heard knawing up on the door. Loud bangs and kicks are felt against your backs as Ivan pushes his back to the door. He gestures for you to do the same. You nod, doing as you were instruscted.

"Come on, brother! You can't hide in there forever! Sometime you will have to come out, and I will marry you!" A female's voice hissed and yelled from the door outside. Natalia, you had guessed.

The kicking and scratching stopped, and you heard her heels clonk away. You hear Ivan sigh with relief. A minute later, you hear the clonking of her heels fade back into hearing, and hear her begginning to saw off the doorknob. "Get back!" Ivan yells, pushing you out of the way and into a corner. "I have an idea, just follow me no matter what I do, da?"

You nod as you hear the doorknob hit the floor. Ivan crawled to your side and looked at you. He smiled and took your hands. "Just play along, da?" You nod as he leans in and kisses your lips tenderly. At first you were shocked, but then played along. You figured you could ask him why later.

"Big and strong, brother?" Natalia says in a seductive voice, opening the door slowly. "The door keeping us apart is go-" She stopped, catching sight of us. "Brother? W-Who's this?" She asks.

Ivan pulled away quickly and opened his eyes, looking at Natalia. "Oh, hi Natalia. I didn't know you were here." He lied.

She squinted. "You didn't answer my question. Who is this girl?"

"Oh this?" He asked, pointing to me. "This is _____. She's my, uh, girlfriend." He lied even more. He looked at you with a face that said, 'just play along, okay?'. You nodded and looked up.

"Is she now?" Natalia hissed unconvinced.

"Oh, yes!" you reply. "I love your brother. He's fantastic!"

"Clearly." She growled, turning to walk out. "Well, brother. I'm going to leave you be. For your happiness, not her's. Oh, and one more thing... ______? Your lipwork was sloppy. My brother deserves better than you." She stomped out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

You turn to face Ivan, who by now, had let all of his hiding feelings rise up. He now was blushing like crazy. "I'm sorry about that. I was selfish... I should have just told her the truth."

"No, Ivan, you're fine! You spared her feelings." You answer. He looks up with you in a sorrowful way.

"No, but, well... Let me tell you the truth, ______." he sighed, taking your hand and rubbing it with his gloved thumb. "I don't want to have a relationship with Natalia for two reasons. Reason number one: She is family and it would be gross and a social faux paw. Reason number two: I want a relationship with you."

You look up, astounded at Ivan's kind words. He smiled and nodded. "I know it doesn't seem like me, but, just because one has no heart does not mean he has no feelings for certain people... Like you, _______."

You smile, blushing a lot. You wipe the hair out of his eyes, leaning in to kiss his forhead. He gasped for a moment, leaning back. When you continued to reach for him, he sat back up gently so you could. You smiled, standing up.

"I love you, Ivan." You whispered.

"I love you, too." He crowed, standing up as well. He took your hand and headed out of the door. "Its get late. You should be getting home. I don't want anyone to hurt you."

You nod, taking your coat. "Thanks for today, Ivan. I won't forget it." You whisper.

He nods. "Come back tomorrow and I will make the Baltics do whatever you want them too." He replied, an evil smirk on his face. You smile, opening the door. You kiss his cheek, wave, and begin to walk home. He waved after you.

"Goodbye!" He squeaked.

"Goodbye!" You yelled back. He walked back in, closing the door. You heard a slight scream and Natalia's hiss screech, "WHY WON'T YOU MARRY ME BROTHER?!"

You stare at the door for a moment, then run home. When you arrive, you pick up the phone and call the police.

When they pick up, you tell them why you had called. "Uh, yes, I'd like to report an abuse in progress..."
