'EXTRA ORDINARY'

5 YEARS AGO:

My name is Vanya Hargreeves and this is my story.

'We were never really a family, we were our father's creation, family in name but not in fact, In the end after our brother Ben had died and our two other siblings vanished, there was really nothing connecting us. We were just strangers living under the same roof destined to be alone, starved for attention, damaged by our upbringing, and haunted by what might have been. We all wanted to be loved by a man incapable of giving love.

"and now we're done", I said as I place the bandage on the wound and got up, but he held my hand before I could get up and well we landed in a very awkward state, our faces so close to each other and the tension increasing when we heard a crash which made us snap out of our position,

"and now we're done", I said as I place the bandage on the wound and got up, but he held my hand before I could get up and well we landed in a very awkward state, our faces so close to each other and the tension increasing when we heard a crash wh...

"nothing just a little shoot out", he said as he started wearing a brand new shirt,

"uhhuh" I nodded,

"do you wanna come I am going to spy on grant", he asked still not making eye contact as he put on his sweater and tie,
