Coming Alive

Chapter Three

Anastasia's POV
I didn't want to let Sang go I was so happy to see her again, but I needed to look her over and hear her say she was ok for my sanity. It was then that I realized that Raven and Kota were still in the room with us waiting to see what we would do next.

        Instead of dragging out our dirty laundry to guys I just met also not fully knowing what Sang had told them and still don't know their motives even though I've been feeling this strange comfort or connection with Raven I started signing to Sang. 'I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you I tried so hard to get back to you, but she forced me out and there also seemed to be something in the way of me getting you. How did you get away?!? Does she know you're here?!? Did she hurt you?' I quickly signed to Sang. She started to blush then looked at Kota who was tinged pink also before mumbling "sorry I wasn't trying to intrude, but I know sign language too..."

       My stomach dropped and I paled a bit before Sang spoke up. "It's ok Ana. Kota was the one who found me a week ago when I finally got the courage to run away because she went too far. I was going to find you, but Max his dog got loose and knocked me down which worked out for the best because I met Kota and his amazing friends." Her words made the tears fall even harder. "What did she do to you Sang..." the words came out softly with so much remorse and guilt in them. "None of this is you're fault Ana. You've protected me so much. She tied me up and left me in the shower with it on as hot as it could go. It wasn't until dad came home hours later that I was released. I packed my backpack that same night and walked out."

      I could have died hearing those words and I must have audibly whimpered because I felt strong arms wrap around me from behind pulling me into a solid chest. "I'm so sorry Sang....thank you Kota. I don't know what could have happened if you didn't find her. Sang I have a house now...I want you to come with me. There's so much to tell you things that I don't know if they should know about.." I said the last part very softly trying to have only Sang hear. Her eyes brightened "You have a home for us?!?". Her excitement made me giggle "yes I have a beautiful home...well the decor could use a little bringing up to date, but yeah and I have plenty of money to make any changes we want. Apparently dad finally did something for me and passed on a letter from a lawyer about my grandmother who passed who left me everything. Sang were set for life...and there's nothing she can do about it!"

         I released myself from Raven pulling Sang in once more whispering in her ear "I'm so happy I have you back baby sister and I have important things to tell you in private. Things that we didn't know about us". We pulled away from each other and I looked at her she looked so happy and at ease. "We can trust them Ana" she said looking at me then glancing back at Kota whose eyes visibly softened with her gaze. "Anastasia there's a lot to explain about us, some of my brothers will be here shortly to help explain a bit" Kota said taking his gaze off Sang and on to me before continuing now looking at Raven "you think you could call up Corey once Victor gets here he will probably need his help especially if Sang is going to another location the house will need to be properly set up surveillance wise." "Da I'll call him now" Raven said kissing the top of my head before walking out which made my eyes go wide and I could hear Sang giggling at me.

      She grabbed my hand drawing my attention back away from the thoughts going through my head about how his lips would feel against mine by saying "we really can trust them granted I haven't met Raven's brothers, but if they're anything like my boys we're in good hands." My eyebrows raised at her "your boys?" I said with a giggle causing her to blush bright red.

       The next 10 minutes were a flurry of excitement as I told Sang about the house. Raven returned saying Corey was on his way with Axel whoever those two were and then two new people walked into the room without knocking on the door. One looked astronomically stuffy like he was trying to be older than he was with dark rimmed glasses on covering his steel colored eyes and he was wearing a crisp grey suit with a white dress shirt and maroon tie. Everything about him read order and perfection. The other had an air about him that read sophisticated and an almost graceful air without trying wearing a white collared shirt not fully buttoned up and black dress pants, but his brown hair looked mused and eyes that burned like fire that seemed to ignite even more when he walked over to greet Sang kissing her temple calling her princess. My eyebrows rose at her once more she just blushed and shook her head causing me to giggle.
