Hi my name is Ava and I am as old as Mongolia. How? I am Mongolia! My mommy is China and my papa is Russia. Papa scares all my friends but I don't know why. Mommy says it's cause they don't know him well. Peter says my papa is scary but he's not. If only they knew the truth. That's why i'm going to prove them wrong. You see China is going through something called the opium war and Mommy is really sick. She called my papa and he came to pick me up. I'm ganna keep track of everything so I can prove Peter wrong!

I closed my journal and looked at Papa. I can tell he is frustrated that the boat is so late so I keep my mouth shut. One thing I've learned is not to bother him when he's angry. A man in a fur coat came up in a row boat.

"What took you so long?!" Papa yelled at the man. He's scary when he's mad "I have been waiting for an hour!"

"Sorry, sir." The man had the same accent as my papa "It won't happen again."

Papa helped me into the boat and the man started to row. My teeth chatter as I sit by Papa. I have darker hair and the same eyes but I can't resist the cold. He looks at me.

"What is matter?" His accent is thick but I can understand.

"N-nothing." I look out over the ocean. In the distance I can see my home getting farther and farther away. How long till I see Mommy again? Would I see her again?

"Ava." I looked at my papa. He didn't sound angry "Are you cold?"

I nodded. Papa came closer and draped his coat around my shoulders. I shifted closer to him till I realized I was resting my head on his chest. I sit up strait; afraid of angering him. Papa doesn't like people touching him. I can no longer feel my toes or any of my body but I'm scared of Papa's anger.

"You're turning blue." He pulls me closer wrapping the coat more snugly around me "Hurry up! Before she catches her death!"

He cusses in russian at the man thinking that I don't understand; I do. I know russian fluently along with chinese and mongolian. I can speak english but not very well.

My eyes are getting droppy and I know it's well past my bed time but I don't want to sleep. I want to see the land Papa lives in. I am no longer supporting myself; I am leaning on Papa on the verge of sleep but I don't want to. I tell myself I'll take a quick nap and close my eyes.


Im really sorry if Russia is ooc. I really would appriciate some reviews or comments i really dont care which. Also what do you think of ava? cute aint she?
