You Kept Your Promise

Chapter 7

"Найди, где мой брат СЕЙЧАС! Naydi, gde moy brat SEYCHAS! Find where my brother is NOW!" Raven's father shouted. "I make pay, I swear Daughter." The phone went silent and Corey hung it up.

"Bear?" She asked Raven, her voice filled with fear.

"I sorry Kitten," he said as he clutched her waist. "I know Uncle bad no know this bad. I sorry."

She leaned into his chest and he wrapped his arms around her. The guys could tell he felt some guilt and didn't really know how to help him see that there was nothing he could have done or known his uncle would do something like this.

"No fault Bear," She said softly. "I no think he do this but I swear he did."

"I believe Kitten," He nodded. "I always believe Kitten." Her stomach suddenly decided to let itself be known and she blushed which caused him to chuckle.

"I'm pretty hungry myself," Luke smiled.

"I will go pick up something for everyone. What would you like Anastasia?" Marc asked and she shrugged. "What's your favorite food?"

"Pizza," Raven answered and she nodded.

"Ok, I will order for it to be delivered," Marc said pulling out his phone.

"Watch TV," Raven said as he grabbed the remote.

"Bear," She whispered softly and he looked down at her. "Bath?"

"Doc, she bath?" Raven asked and Sean nodded.

"Sure, just let me change the bandages to waterproof then she can take a bath. I wouldn't recommend a shower just yet because standing for so long could possibly make her dizzy but a bath should be fine," Sean said as he left to go get the bandages.

"Gabe make fizzy bath stuff," Raven said softly. "You like stuff he make."

"Bath bombs Raven," Gabe rolled his eyes and she let out a soft giggle.

"Da, same," Raven shrugged.

"I'll go start the bath," Gabe smiled, "make all nice and special for you."

She looked up at Raven with slight confusion, "What Kitten?" he asked softly.

"Мы планировали, что будем в США еще детьми, после чего вы уехали, чтобы освободить для нас место. Меня похитили, а вы немного пошли дальше. Вы нашли настоящую любовь со своими мужьями. Что будет со мной теперь, когда ты замужем? Они будут в порядке, если я останусь твоим лучшим другом? Очевидно, я не могу оставаться с тобой, но я действительно не знаю, куда идти, когда я достаточно поправлюсь, чтобы покинуть эту больницу. Я не могу вернуться в Россию, но для меня было бы неправильным врезаться к тебе сейчас, когда у тебя новая жизнь со своими возлюбленными. My planirovali, chto budem v SSHA yeshche det'mi, posle chego vy uyekhali, chtoby osvobodit' dlya nas mesto. Menya pokhitili, a vy nemnogo poshli dal'she. Vy nashli nastoyashchuyu lyubov' so svoimi muzh'yami. Chto budet so mnoy teper', kogda ty zamuzhem? Oni budut v poryadke, yesli ya ostanus' tvoim luchshim drugom? Ochevidno, ya ne mogu ostavat'sya s toboy, no ya deystvitel'no ne znayu, kuda idti, kogda ya dostatochno popravlyus', chtoby pokinut' etu bol'nitsu. YA ne mogu vernut'sya v Rossiyu, no dlya menya bylo by nepravil'nym vrezat'sya k tebe seychas, kogda u tebya novaya zhizn' so svoimi vozlyublennymi. We made plans for us to be in US as children then you left to make place for us. I got kidnapped and you moved on somewhat. You found true love with your husbands. What's going to happen to me now that you're married? Are they going to be okay with me still being your best friend? I can't stay with you obviously but I don't really know where to go once I'm well enough to leave this hospital. I can't go back to Russia but it wouldn't be right for me to crash at your place now that you have a new life with your loves."

"You stay with us," Raven said sternly. "Husbands know you important me, you important them. You stay with us. Gabe make you room all done if change tell Gabe he change. You stay."

"I no stay," She shook her head. "I no but in life."

"You stay," He commanded. "No argue I always win."

"Fine," She gave in and he smiled. She rolled her eyes and he smirked.

"Bath is ready Anastasia," Gabe said as he came out of the bathroom. Sean back into the room and changed her bandages. Raven carried her into the bathroom then left after making her promise to call out to him if she needed any help or got too tired.

Just as she came out of the bathroom feeling a lot better Marc was entering the room with a pile of pizzas. Raven had everyone tell her about themselves and what they did to help her get to know them. Just as they got done eating she suddenly remembered something.

She grabbed Raven's arm and squeezed. "What Kitten?" he asked confused.

"There proof," she paled as she remembered.

"There's proof of what he did to you?" Corey asked and she nodded.

"Where?" Raven growled. She started shaking and he kissed the top of her head. "Tell Kitten. Father need to make pay."

"He record on com...com..." She struggled to translate the word correctly.

"Computer?" Corey asked and she nodded. "Was it a desktop or a laptop?" he asked softly.

"Laptop," She answered as she clutched Raven's back. "I no say he did please."

"Net Kitten," Raven shook his head. "No say no want to. You safe now. You safe."

"You always protect me," she whispered as she started to drift back to sleep. They could tell this whole thing drained her.

"Always protect my Kitten," he whispered into the top of light brown hair. She hummed but he could tell it didn't really register with her what he said.
