Suka = bitch in russian 

Lina says in about 6 hours she should wake up. She'll be confused, scared, and might not remember us right away for the first hour. I texted mama and she still wants me to call her as soon as she wakes up, but I told her she might not remember but that didn't stop her. I'm sitting in the living room and still researching about the possible drugs that paralyzed her.  

My phone starts vibrating. I pick it up.

Unknown number

I let it go to voicemail, but it starts ringing again

Unknown number. 

"Yes?" I ask slightly annoyed. "So I see you burned down my little warehouse suka. I would be careful if I were you little girl, you may have gotten your friend, but did you ever think about how you left your family unattended." I clench my jaw a little. "Touch my mother and father and I'll kill you with my bare hands." I hear a laugh on the other side. "Stupid girl, I'm saving the best for last, but for now I want you to think long and hard and then I'd make a very important call." I hear a disgusting laugh on the other side of the phone. "See you soon" and he hangs up the call.

What the hell is he talking about? Think Aria think. Oh god Nat! I quickly dial her number. Please pick up, please! 

"Hey Ri! Whats up," "Nat I need you to listen very carefully, where are you and who are you with?" I ask. "The grocery store with Liana." Shit, shit, shit. "Ok I need you to get out there and, go home, grab the boys and pack some of your things!" I'll be there really soon!" I start pacing. "Ri whats going on? Are you ok?" She asks. "I just need you to send me your address and get home. Please." There was a huge gap of silence. "C'mon baby, we're gonna go home and go somewhere fun!" I hear her say in the background. I felt so relived. "I'll see you soon sis." We hung up the phone and I went searching the house for Gianna. 

I went to the backyard and saw her tanning and eating a cupcake. 

"Gia I have a really important thing to ask." She sits up and chews her cupcake. "Whats up Ri?" she wipes off her hand and I see pink frosting on her lip. "So I got a very heart dropping phone call from Dimitri." She gasped. "What'd he say?!" I sigh. "He told me it wasn't the best choice to keep my family unattended, but its not my parents. It's my sister, my brother in law I guess and my niece and nephew. I wanted to ask if there was anywhere for them to stay just for 2 days before we leave?" She puts her hands on my shoulders, "You didn't even have to ask! I love kids! And I really wanna meet your sister, plus the guys are going somewhere so it'll just be us! This will be great! I have so kid toys and essentials in the basement! This is going to be so fun!" she exclaims.

I go to my room and get ready. I text Nat to meet me at her nearest airport. I hear the bathroom door shut and see Leone come out. His hair is wet and he's wiping his face. Good god. "Where are you going?" I sigh. "To get Nat." He looks confused. "You wanna come?" He shrugs. "Sure." "Cool, cause we're leaving now." I put my jacket on. "We gotta leave now because Lauren wakes up soon." He nods. We walk out the house and get into the car.

 "The Airport please." I say to the driver. 

Me: I'm almost there

N: Ok, the kids fell asleep so we should be ok  for the next couple hours. 

Me: k, see you soon N<3

I close my phone out and start getting worried. "So you wanna tell me whats going on?" Leone asks. "Dimitri called and made a threat to family, except he said it wasn't our family and that he would get them later-" I could see Leone tense up, "So instantly thought of Nat." I covered my face with my hands. I feel like things just got on the right path and now they're going into a river on the side of a path. "The worst part about all of this is that Nat just wants a normal life and now I gotta convince her to start training a little bit,  just incase something happens." There was silence. "Let me do it. Can't be that hard?" He shrugged his shoulders. "Be my guest." 

We pull into the airport and I see a black Nissan sitting in the parking lot. I see a foot step out after I get out and then I see her stand up. I smile a little. She's gorgeous and looks so happy and healthy. I walk over to her and think about whether to give her a hug or not. But she made that job easier for me. She pulls me in for a hug. "I missed you so so much baby sis." I smile, "I missed you more." We pull apart and I see a little leg in the car. I gasp and run to the window. "Is that?0" She nods. "They are so cute!" She smiles. 

I hear someone clear their throat. "Oh right Nat this is Leone, Leone this is Nat," I introduce. "Nice to meet you." He says. "You as well." I hear the car door shut and see a guy get pout of the car. "You must be Ryder." He smiles and nods. "Hm, Nat does he make you he make you happy?" She nods, "Does he treat you and my niece and nephew right?" she nods again. "Hm, I'll keep an eye on you!" I say jokingly. "I'm just kidding though, I'm Aria nice to meet you!" He looks kinda relived after I say that. "Ryder!" He says happily. "Ok! so I can help you guys get your stuff!" I get stopped, "Um Nat whats going on?" I pause, "you guys are in danger." She stops, "What kind? What did you do Aria, again?" Her voice gets stern. "I didn't do-" I'm cutoff. "She didn't do anything, we are both in danger and someone is targeting our families. All she wants is you guys safe because she got a very freighting call this morning. You guys are going to stay with us and some friends for a couple weeks until we fly back to New York. 

"No, no, no, please I can't go through this again, I can't!" Ryder rushed to Nat and calms her down. "Calm down, calm down babe! She just wants us safe and the kids, thats all! Right?" We both nod. "C'mon, lets get the kids and our stuff and then you can rest, ok?" She nods. 

Trauma, panic attacks, anxiety. I feel so bad for bringing her into this.

2 hours later. 

We got everything settled for them and Gianna is currently playing with the twins, Natalia and Ryder are asleep and the guys are in the basement training, well all of them except for Elijah. He's sitting with me in Lina's office, watching Lauren in her bed, waiting for her to wake up. My leg is jumping up and down and I'm texting Leone and mama back and forth. "What if she doesn't wake up?!" Elijah jumps. "What if they drugged her so bad that she won't ever wake up? What if-" "She's gonna wake up!" I yell. "Please don't get the idea of that she won't in my head, please." I say softly. 

He sits down and sighs, "I know Aria, it's just, I care for her so much even though I have only known her for such a short time. I remember the first time I saw her and the first thing I saw were her eyes. Granted she was confused who I was and why I rang your doorbell, but, she had fire in her and I love it!" He explained. I smiled. "She's got this beautiful brown hair and amazing laugh!" I smiled so big at his description of her. 

"I knew you liked me!"

Me and Elijah heard a voice coming from the other direction.
