Daughter Of Chaos

CHAPTER 56: Settling I guess

Natasha POV

I followed Hamera, my said sister. It was a silent walk through many hallways, until we reached two huge doors which was pushed open by Hamera. "Follow me." Hamera said in a soft voice as she entered. "You do remember how to bath, right?" She asked and I entered her head, there I found how to bath. "Yes." I answered, "Great, the washroom is over there with all the bath utensils you might need." She smiled and I walked to where she had said was the washroom.

I undressed and sunk myself in the bath that was already run. I could hear Hamera's nervous steps in the next room as she arranged it. "I so badly want to talk to her, I have so many questions to ask her... But I don't know how." I read her dismayed mind. I decided to converse with her to make it easier for her. I still did not believe that I had a family but if there was the slightest of chance that this was my family, I wanted them not to feel threatened by me.

"Hamera! What was my favourite colour?" I asked from the bathtub. "Jack said it was black and blue." She answered, "What is yours?" I asked, "All bright colours that gives you warmth." She answered. "Who was I very close to in this family except my parents?" I asked, "You were very close to Jack. You literally told him everything, things that you even kept from mother." I could sense the warm smile she was releasing.

Since I was by then done with bathing, I got out and dried myself. I used the lotion nearby and since I did not want to exit wrapped in a towel, I took the dress which was hanged on the bathroom hook and wore it. It was a strapless, long, black dress which had a blue outline at the ends. I stood in front of the mirror, for the first time I saw my face. I had my said mother's looks.

My hair was a bit messy so I took the nearby brush and began brushing it out. It was a piece of work brushing such long hair. "Is everything okay?" Hamera asked after a while, "Yes, I'll be out in a while." I answered as I straightened out the last strand. I exited the bathroom and found her seated on the bed, "You look great!" She said, "Let's get you some shoes." She said.

"N-no, not now. Tomorrow, it is now sundown." I said and she nodded understanding. "Flat shoes?" She suggested and I shook my head. "We should go, everybody must be waiting for us, it's time to eat." She said getting up, "I have no appetite." I said simply, "Did you forget how to eat?" She asked and I looked outside the window, "No... I just don't want to eat at the moment." I answered. "If you are afraid to eat because father is going to be there, then you shouldn't worry, he says he won't appear in front of you." She said.

"No, he shouldn't do that. This is his home and he should move freely, he must eat with his family. I don't eat food at the moment." I said, "So you are not coming?" She asked, "No, I'll stay here. I prefer to be alone." I said and she nodded then left. "She refuses to eat." I heard Hamera tell everybody using my sensitive hearing. "But why." Lady Christina asked, I could not muster the courage to call her mother.

I was so afraid of everybody here, I was so scared that they could hurt me at any given time. "She said she does not eat food at this moment." Hamera answered, I did not want to hear more so I closed my ears.

I sat on the mat that was at the side of my bed and hugged my knees, gently I trailed off on the floor as I bowed my head and closed my eyes. The door opened and Nemean's scent showered my nose, "You still won't eat." He said worried, "She won't let me... But don't worry about me, you should eat something." I said and there was a knock on the door. It was Jack and Percy. "Enter." I said and Jack held a huge plate with raw meat.
