His Little Lady

Turning Point

One week it has been since that incident and I haven't seen Lena at all, I am not allowed, Ivan makes sure I stay away form whatever part of the house she is in, I haven't seen much of Viktor either and when I do see him his back is always facing me, I have never felt so lonely in my life. I sit on the sofa that sits below a giant window that looks out to the world, I sit here all day and every day until I'm told its time to eat. I stare into the distance as a lonely tear falls from my face and I sniff, Ivan hands me a handkerchief and I give him a faint smile and thank him

"Please no more cry"

"what else could I do Ivan, there is nothing"

"Is not good for you"

"I will try Ivan"

Turning back to the window I loose myself in the view not realising how dark it had gotten 

"Maria It is time to eat, I sent Ivan up here twice already, Come" 

First thing I have heard for a week and he summon's me, I can't take this any more, I just want my apartment back, My life back and Lena, I burst into tears and make a run for the bedroom's bathroom lock the door and jump into the tub hugging myself while sobbing

"Maria open this door!" he shouts while banging on it

My sobs get louder as I here his voice, Him banging on the door makes it worse. I don't want him to touch me any more I want him to leave me alone I was happy sitting at the window. A short while later I hear the commotion at the door stop

"Maria please"

Nope not buying it, I squeeze my eyes shut and block my ears. Then I hear the voice that I've been longing to hear

"Maria?" Lena says softly

I hear her trying to slide herself down using the door when she yells at Viktor telling him she can do it herself, she's pregnant not dying

"Por favor, Maria abrir" (Please Maria open up)

"NO" I scream

"Te echo de menos" (I miss you)

"Te echo de Lena tanto por qué no dejar que te veo" (I miss you Lena so much why would they not let me see you) I cry to her

I hear her hiccup "para enseñarnos una lección" (To teach us a lesson)

After awhile she starts singing a song my grandmother use to sing while she cooked, It makes me even sadder and I lie down in the bath and start singing along with her closing my eyes, I didn't hear the door click open or hear her voice getting louder

**(A/N: A bit of abuse is coming up. if you do not like then you might want to skip but don't worry it wont be that horrific)**

"Oh Mija, she leans down stroking my hair from my face then she gets up fast and turns towards the door and stands in front of me in a protective way

"You really want to know why we went outside that day hmm? Well I'll tell you anyway" she starts

"Maria and I were locked inside a small cage inside a very big house butt naked and starving, we were taken one at a time usually me first. I got the usual, lashings, other things and taunting but her, oh she got drugged and chained to the floor while my step father raped me, she had to sit there and hear me scream she had to sit there and watch him do things to me, she was absolutely helpless to do anything until one day she got me out, her and her brother because of that he had to die so that we could live, Robert meant everything to Maria and I owed him my life. It took me and her years to stop having nightmares more so her than me, my screams of those nights tormented Maria, being stuffed up in here for a long time and then you leave for your meeting meant a breath of fresh air to us, So keep her locked up in this house and everything we did to stop the memories slipping in, the sounds of my screams, It will all come back to her. I can see no emotion in her face, doesn't help that you ignored her for almost 2 weeks"

Silence for the next few moments, silence

"So you satisfied now, that's why we did those things to your men to escape"

I lay there in the bath curled up in a ball and softly weep

Next thing I know Lena is trying to coax me out of the bath, numb everything feels numb and I don't want to move

**(A/N: abusing bit is over)**

I follow her request and I stand and get out of the bath, she leads me down the hallway and as soon as I see Nikolai I freak and start to hyperventilate, she turns and see's my face and whispers to Nikolai to get out of the way and to not look at me

"Mija its okay we are safe now, that big man isn't going to hurt me or you okay, he loves me and I am to have his baby remember?"

She puts my hand on her stomach and I feel the flutter of butterflies and my eyes fly open to meet hers, she nods and starts to lead me to her room. I lie on the bed and she lays next to me holding my hand and starts to softly sing me to sleep

"buenas noches mi amor" Lena says and I close my eyes and fall to sleep
