“Danzel, my elder,” Rudolph had a proud glint in his blue eyes when he introduced Danzel.
Danzel gave dad a cold nod.
“He has grown quite tall,” Dad surveyed the new boy with curiosity.
“Yes, he will turn 14 this December,” Rudolph concurred proudly.
“ Your daughter is very pretty. If I am not wrong you have one more daughter” Rudolph queried, eyeing Anya. It is then Dad realized I wasn’t here. I saw his eyes searching for me when they finally landed on me.
“Inessa, come here,” Dad waved me to come over. I quietly walked up to them.
“She is Inessa, my eldest,” Dad put his hands on my shoulders and introduced me.
I bowed my head in greeting since I can’t speak. The dominance this whole family was exuding felt unbearable.
“She is a spitting image of Alexei. I can tell she will be as beautiful as her Mom when she will grow up,” the man stroked my hair but I sensed something dark in his eyes when he mentioned my mom and that made me want to hide behind my dad’s back.
“Hi, I am Andrei, nice to meet you,” Andrei approached me with his extended hand. I smiled at his warm nature. I knew we could become friends in the future. I took his hand and bowed my head again.
“He is my brother, Danzel,” he pointed his finger towards Danzel whose eyes were already studying me. I felt intimidated by his heavy gaze. I turned to the elders who were busy talking about the wedding and its preparation.
“Bro, doesn’t she look like a doll?” Andrei nudged his brother with his elbow. I blushed at his compliment.
“Yes, she looks like a doll,” Danzel stated, making me blush even more.
I was going to gesture him “Thank you,” when he added one more statement. I liked him.
“She looks just like Annabelle,” he sized me up and smirked.
“She is prettier,” his gaze shifted to Anya who was blushing scarlet at his compliment. I frowned at him not because he called Anya pretty but because he called me Annabelle. I’ve seen the movie. It was definitely not a compliment.
His eyes returned to me and he smirked again when he saw my soured expression. My eyes watered. Do I really look like that ghost doll?
“No, she doesn’t look like Annabelle, she looks like barbie,” his little brother stomped his feet and defended me before turning towards his face towards me.
Andrei leaned in and cupped my ear as if telling a secret.
“Don’t worry about him. He is an asshole and you look like a barbie,” he whispered in my ear and we both broke into giggle because he called his brother that. It felt nice to hear.
“Stay away from her,” Danzel seethed and pulled him back by his collar the very next moment.
“She might be rolling in the mud, for all we know. You will dirty yourself,” Danzel glared at me balefully as if I had kicked his dog. I narrowed my green eyes at him and gave him a death glare. He rolled his eyes in response.
“Don’t forget who you are. We don’t mingle with villagers,” he added and smirked. I was close to tears now.
“Your brother is really an asshole,” I gestured to Andrei in a crying tone and turned on my heels to make a break for it.
“What did she say?” I heard him asking.
“She called you an asshole,” I faintly heard Anya enlightening him.
I ran back to my room and closed the door. I crossed my arms, huffed, and plopped down in my bed.
I grabbed my drawing book from my table and started sketching.
Someone knocked on my door.
I didn’t respond.
“Hey, it’s me, Andrei. Let me in, please,” Andrei pleaded from the other side.
I sighed and got off the bed and opened the door for him.
“What are you doing?” he entered my room and asked, checking out my room. My room was quite small but cozy. I loved my room.
I shrugged and climbed up my bed.
“Wow, you draw?” he asked jumping on the bed.
“I draw too. I will do animations when I will grow up,” he revealed excitedly.
“What is animation,” I gestured with my hand curiously and that is how our conversation rolled on for hours.
We were laughing over something when someone violently slammed my door open, making me jump closer to Andrei. I clung to his arm.
Danzel appeared from behind the door. His eyes instantly drew down to the place where I was holding him. He gritted his teeth and lifted his gaze to glare into my eyes.
“Andrei, Mom is calling you. Go downstairs this instant,” he growled while staring hard at me. My hold on Andrei tightened out of fear.
“Ness, I’ll be back in a minute, then you can show me your toy collection,” Andy said before pulling his arm from my hold.
He gave me a smile and crawled off the bed before skipping out of the room. I watched him leave with helpless eyes. Out of curiosity, I flipped my gaze on Danzel and yes, he was still glaring at me. He looked furious.
