"I have lived this long, haven't I?" It's easy to lose a child in a mall, or even around the house, when they're quiet. They hardly say a word, when they should be talking, and chattering, at 6 years of age. They have started school, and are making connections between people. They are growing up, yet they do not speak. They never said a word, when they were picked up by 'workers' of their family. They never dared to yell, when they were slapped with a piece of tape across their mouths, and bound to chairs for hours. They were 6 years old then, but they are 18 years old, and times have changed. No longer do they hold their breath when someone tells them too. You are on their land, and they have the control. They do as they please, because if they didn't, tomorrow may never be there. They go to sleep, knowing they have made a life for themselves, and awake, knowing they lived through the night. Astrid, Asher and Avery, live with knives to their throats every single day, without a single clue, after 12 years, if they are ever going to make it out alive. They always have an eye on the exit, and even debate taking it, but then, they would cost themselves their lives, wouldn't they? They wouldn't know, unless they walked through that one door, and saw the other side of the world. The other side of that door. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Started: 30.03.26 Finished: -

"You disappeared. You chose another life, one where you abdicated from the role of being a big brother; the same big brother that was the only father figure I had in my life. I hope you burn, the same way he did" Life has never been easy in the Antonelli household. Constantly on the move due to uprising family issues, people get lost. In large families, people get lost. Loud crowds, barely any food, and sharing clothes, is just the bare minimum. Growing up in Russia, was a completely different story. The second the Antonelli's stepped in to the states, it was a whole other world. Going from poor, absent parents, to the rich lifestyle with only her brothers to show some form of guidance, is not what is expected. Least of all, is boarding school. Only a few years after being accustomed to the states, her eldest brothers are gone. No trace, no note, nothing. Only a message in the form of her fourth eldest brother, whom has now become her guardian, that she is to go to an elite boarding school. Only now, the trio of big brothers are back in town, and demanding that she comes home. Demanding her, Harlow, to return to the little girl they left, 7 years ago. It isn't that easy though, adjusting to living under the roof of a brother that chose to leave the second he could. But, who can blame them, when the lifestyle they came from, was not flush with money. Only, you can blame them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Formally known as Athlete B Started: 23.10.25 Finished: -
