The Lost One

Chapter 5

When we pull up onto the air strip and park in front of a jet our driver parks the car and doesn't say a thing and just stares straight ahead. Alexi got out from the car and walked around to me and Dimitri's door to open it, I was still confined to Dimitri's lap so when he got out he took me with him and was holding me bridal still. Alexi was still holding the door and I took this opportunity to kick Alexi in the face and elbowed Dimitri's chest. I jumped out of Dimitri's arms and tried to make a run for it down the air strip, I managed to make it for 10 seconds at the most before Alexi was suddenly in front of me. When I tried to go around him Dimitri was there grabbing me and wrapping his arms around me and lifting me up so my legs were just kicking air.

They carried me to the jet and when they finally managed to get me buckled into a seat Alexi quickly shut the jet door and told the pilot to take off. I sagged in my seat when I felt the jet taking off into the air, I stayed staring at my feet for a few minutes before lifting my gaze to stare at the two assholes sitting across from me. They were talking to each other in Russian, I wished I would have made the attempt to learn Russian while I was at school or something so I would know what they were saying to each other. When they saw I was staring at them they stopped talking, Alexi c****d his head to the side staring at me, " You look familiar my Цветок,  I could swear I've never met you before. What to do you think brother?" 

Dimitri stared at me and said something to Alexi in Russian, "Она напоминает мне приятеля Акелы Эшли. Как вы думаете, они могут быть связаны брат? " (She reminds me of Akela's mate Ashley. Do you think they can be related brother?) Alexi nodded his head, " Maybe, that would explain the likeness between them. Do you remember your original name Vanessa? " I didn't give him an answer and just stared at him refusing to say anything. He just shrugs his shoulders instead and pulls out his phone. He scrolls on it like he's looking for something, when he finds it he puts his phone up to face . There shouldn't be anyone with my real name other than my father he didn't even put it in my file he submitted to the council since it wasn't required. 

" Yes sir it's Alexi.... yes sir she is fine and sitting right in front of me and my brother.... yes she did give us a bit of trouble getting to the car and into the jet but we managed.... well you see we're calling to ask what her original name is... Why? well as her mates we are privy to that sort of information and if you won't tell us we have other ways of finding out....Thank you sir, we'll tell her you said hi.. yes, yes, uh-huh goodbye." Through out his entire conversation I was one second from just banging my head against the jet window, I can't believe my father totally ratted me out. I figured if anyone my father would be the hardest to get any information from, but apparently not all Alexi had to do was throw the mate card and down came dear old dad ready to hand out information like candy.

I was waiting for Alexi to say something or tell Dimitri what my father said but all he did was stare at me like I was a puzzle he couldn't figure out. " I don't remember Ashley mentioning anyone with the name Violet, and as far I known she didn't have any vampires in the family and wasn't around any before Akela came along. Do you remember who you where before your father turned you?" I wasn't sure if I should answer that question or not. I don't think it would really give anything away because I didn't remember who I was I was a blank canvas when my father turned me. I shook my head, " No I didn't remember a thing, I didn't even know my name until my father told me." 

Dimitri said something to Alexi in Russian again and I roll my eyes , " Мы должны позвонить Акеле и спросить его, знает ли его друг кого-нибудь по этому имени."  (We should call Akela and ask him if his mate knows anyone by this name.)  I wish they would speak in English so I could understand what they were saying. He nods his head at his brother and gets up for and walks to the bar and pours himself a drink. He turns to me and asks, " What would you prefer we call you, Vanessa or Violet?"  I don't think I've had the option to choose who I would rather be. Truthfully, I don't think Violet exists anymore. She hasn't since I was changed, so I tell him, " I would prefer Vanessa. " 

He nods and takes out his phone and calls someone again, I didn't hear what he was saying so I ignored him and turned to stare at Dimitri. He was already looking at me and I was taken back by how blatant he was, so I decided to ask him, " Is there something on my face or do you just want to be slapped. " He grinned but didn't say a word so I rolled my eyes at him and looked out the window and watched the clouds pass by. I decided to try to take a nap and get some rest before I had to deal with all the bullshit when we land.

Alexi Pov

I watched as my mate fell asleep and waited till her breaths were slowed enough so I know she was really asleep and not simply faking it to talk to my twin. I had just finished talking with Akela on the phone about finding Vanessa and about her likeness to his mate. He immediately  wanted her original name and when I gave it to him he went silent before hanging up without a word. I knew right then that he must have known who my mate was and that made me worry for her. Did she do something to upset my coven leader? I hope this will not be so, because then she could be in danger from my own coven. I sat down next to my brother again, he was waiting silently for the information he knew I had.

" У нас проблема, мой брат, Акела знает, кто она такая. Она может быть в опасности завета, мы должны идти домой или отклониться от нашего пути и отправиться в другое место? " (We have a problem my brother, Akela knows who she was. She could be in danger of the coven, should we proceed with heading home or divert from our path and head elsewhere? ) He nods his head and rubs his chin while trapped in his thoughts. I only spoke in our mother tongue because I still do not trust that my Цветок was actually asleep. We sat in silence trying to decide on our next move, right before I suggest a place to go my phone goes off. I unlock it and see that Akela has sent a message.

Bring her home, she is related to Ashley. We need to talk.

Somehow I knew that this wasn't going to bode well for anyone, not for me and my twin and not for our beautiful mate. I sent him a message telling him we are on our way to the Eldenmeyer Mansion, I can only hope that Akela doesn't mean to harm my mate. If so... we will make him pay.

Dimitri Pov

After my twin explained how Akela had reacted I was expecting the worst of the worst and that we were going to have to hide our mate from our coven. When we received his text after it was a small relief, but it still leaves our questions unanswered. Who was our mate? How was she related to Ashley? Why did Akela react the way he did? I hope that when we return home all of our questions will be answered. 

I felt the plane start to dip and our pilot had announced that we were about to land and saw Vanessa start shifting. It's going to be a pleasure trying to get her and us to the Mansion without her tearing us apart. I love a good challenge especially if that challenge is one from my mate.
