Dark Hope

--

Hope woke to find the Razavan in a fight with a dark haired man and a woman with red hair weaving patterns in the air. Scared, she scurried over to her younger half-sister Faith. She clamped a hand over Faith's mouth to keep her from making a sound to alert the others to their presences. She called to Faith in her mind carefully.

'Faith, you gotta to wake up. There are people here. Come on Faith.' She felt Faith wake and scan the area.

'Hope, maybe we can use this as a distraction. He'll be to busy trying to fight them to pay any attention to us.' Faith thought taking Hope's hand off her mouth. Hope nodded her head and got up. Neither noticing the third person hiding in the shadows watching them communicate to each other.

Mikhail knew the two were planning to escape so he quickly went over and knocked them out. 'Two phyic girls being held by Razvan. One looks to be his daughter. The other could be her sister. The could be life mates to one of the men.' He thought picking them both up. 'Virknoff, there are two girls here. I'm taking them back to Raven.' Mikhail thought to Virkinoff on their private path. 'Okay . Me and Natalya will meet you their.' Virkinoff thought back.

Mikhail quickly flew to his home to see Raven waiting on the porch for him with Jacques and Shea. Landing on the porch Jacques took on the of the girls and they brought them to each to a bedroom to wait for them to wake up.

"Mikhail, do you have any clue who they are?" Raven asked staring down at one of the girls. "I believe the girl with red hair is Razvan's daughter but I don't know about the other one."

Hope woke to find four strangers surrounding her and no sign of her sister. "Where's Faith?" She asked them quietly. "She's in the other room asleep. What's your name?" One of the dark haired men asked. "Hope. Who are you? And why are we here?" "I'm Mikhail Dubrinsky and this is my wife Raven, My brother Jacques and his wife Shea. You're here because I didn't think you wanted to stay with him. So I took you and Faith to my home."

"I want to see Faith. Where's my sister?" "She's in the next room." Hope got up quickly and went over to the room not really caring if the others followed only to get to Faith. Opening the door she bumped into a man with long black hair and green eyes like Faith has. His hands quickly caught her before she could fall. He just stared at her not letting her go. "Dominic, What brings you here?" Mikhail asked breaking her trance.

Dominic stared at the stared at the black haired girl. He could see in color! After two-thousand years he could finally see in color and feel the emotions running through him. 'Who is she?' He asked Mikhail still staring at her. 'Her name is Hope. I found her and her sister with Razvan.' Hope. That's what she is to him. 'Picolla, My name is Dominic.' He sent the thought to her and saw surprise flicker across her face. 'Can you please let me go? I need to go to Faith.' He felt her need to be with her sister so he opened his arms and she all but ran into the other bedroom.
