Ellianna's POVSoon enough I was brave enough to step inside the mansion with the beautiful modern doors. I was stepping inside a world unknown to me it was scary. All my feelings surged through but I had to bury the nervousness and excitement that ushered through me. Before I know it I feel a little tug and push and Nathan is ushering me inside.
I entered while seeing a grand staircase on the left side going up to the second floor in the huge modern mansion.
I saw people running around the house with......my things?! How are my things here?!
Then I saw him.
My bear.
Mr. Bear.
Some random boy was holding MY bear.
I walked right up to the unknown boy and grabbed Mr. Bear right from his filthy clutches.
How dare he steal my bear!
Poor Mr. Bear was probably so scared in his dirty hands.
I held Mr. Bear close to me and nuzzled my nose inside his warm embrace.
I don't care that I look like a child at this very moment I need some clarity or some sort of getaway and that's where the steady, common comfort of Mr. Bear comes in.
Nathan just watched the scene play out with his arms crossed and amused look across his face.
I glanced back at the boy and his face was in pure and utter shock. Why is he in shock HE'S the one who took MY bear.
As I held Mr. Bear close to me, I noticed that this bear has both his ears intacted where my bear doesn't.
This bear doesn't smell like mom's laundry deturdamt scent.
Oh no.
This. Is. Not. My. Bear.
Who's bear is this?
I look up to see the boys face again and he
looked like.....me?"This isn't my bear." I said handing the bear back to him. "I t-thought this was m-mine since mine looks j-just like yours." I said stuttering and playing with my fingers. In this moment my shoe laces started to seem very interesting to look at.
The mystery boy grabbed a hold of my chin and looked deep into my eyes. He has beautiful blue ocean eyes just like me.
"Ellianna?" He asked in complete and utter shock more to himself then to me, but I still nodded in return.
"Yes? And um w-who are you?" I replied to the unknown boy while responding with my own question. I wonder how does he know my name while once again looking back down at my interesting white but somewhat brown and being both dirty and musty shoe laces.
"Um, I'm Nicholas, but that's only what I get called when I'm in trouble." He laughed a little and then looked down to then look up again. He looks up again to stare deep inside my ocean orbs and I can't help, but to stare into his own. He looks as if he's trying to figure me out. The thing is, he can't. He counties on and say "But um, you can call me Nick." He finished with a smile across his face displaying his pearly white teeth.
"Ok." Is all I can manage to say in return while still having no idea who he is.
I then notice a visible change in his face. He looked sad.
Did I say something wrong?
Am I supposed to know who he is?
Does my breathe smell?
I breathed into my hand to smell my breath. Nathan and Nick both looked at each other in bewilderment and then both looked at me like I'm crazy.
Suddenly I heard strong footsteps make their way down the large and long spiral staircase.
It was a man. A very, very professional looking man. He looked like Nathan and Nick and.....me?
He definitely held power.
He looked unapproachable but appreciated and important.
He looked almost....sad to say it, but.....scary.
I definitely don't ever want to be on his bad side.
He approached me, and stood directly in-front of me and thankfully Nick noticed where this man was going before he could be pushed out of the way, so Nick reluctantly moved.
"Hello Ellianna. Nice to see you again after all this time. I'm very sorry for your loss." This man said like he already had what he was going to say all planned out. Almost like some business man trying to sell stocks.
"Um w-who are you?" I asked having no idea who this professionally scarily looking man is.
His face suddenly turned from a thin line to pure and utter shock. His jaw dropped only for a moment, but then he returned to his natural look to once again to stern business man.
"So I'm guessing she hasn't told you anything then, eh?" The man asked with almost disgust when he said she and then looked to Nathan and back to me very displeased. He then fixing his suit while waiting for my response.
"Who is 'she'?" I asked curiously still not getting any of my past questioned answered so I was starting to get annoyed.
"'She'" he said with utter disgust. "Is your mother." he said with pure venom.
"Um no, she didn't t-tell me anything.....I guess. I h-have no idea w-who you are." I said stuttering feeling very intimidated by this professional overpowering looking man.
I felt like I was suffocating like I was drowning underwater. Being in a new place, with new people. In some new unknown world. None of my questions being answered it's just so infuriating.
"Well, her not telling you is not your fault of course." He said and fixed his tie. He continued by saying "I am your eldest brother, Elijah." He stated proudly.
"Wait. I'm confused, is my mother not your mother?" I asked feeling even more confused and frustrated. It was clear as day how confused I was in this moment. Who does this man think he is talking in the way he is about mom.
"She is my 'mother', yes." He stated short and displeased, trying to move on from what I asked.
He moved on by saying "Ellianna were pleased to have you here. I hope you enjoyed your trip here with Nathan, and I've seen you already reunited with Nicholas." He said all prim and proper.
"Oh, um, yes the t-trip with Nathan was very n-nice and Um nick....reunited w-what do you mean? Um, who i-is he exactly?!" I asked still unsure of who nick is and why Mr. Bear looks almost identical to the bear that he's holding.
"Well, he's your twin brother of course." Elijah stated as if it was obvious and clear as day that he's my twin brother.
"Twin brother?!" I shouted. I had no idea I had 6 brothers let alone a twin brother. My whole life seems so clear but so blurry in this moment. My whole life has been a lie. My mother. Their mother. She lied. This whole time has been nothing, but lies. The room started to spin. My vision got blurry and very clouded. This wasn't tears clouding my vision, no. This was dizziness, and before I know it, I'm consumed with darkness and then.........nothing.
