Chapter Five
Vasilisa walked slowly down the side walk towards her mother's mansion. She walked silently, as usual even when people said hello to her, she stayed silent. Vasilisa was depressed, it was true. She missed her brother and she wanted him back. Everything anyone did reminded Vasilisa of Sam. If people did anything as simple as laugh it reminded her at the times of when her and Sam went places with Leah and Seth. It reminded her of all the times Sam was there for her when she was down and all the times he cut things off that he was planning just so he could help her.
Leah had called Vasilisa a couple weeks ago telling her that she saw Sam and that he told her to tell Vasilisa that he still loved her no matter what and no one or anything could change that, but Vasilisa wanted to hear it from Sam himself. She wanted to hear it from her brother to make sure it was true. She was not willing to be tricked by someone when her brother was probably out there doing something horrible. Vasilisa had not heard from Sam sense she had confronted him on First Beach on that one stormy night. The night when Sam had told Vasilisa he had no longer wanted her in his life. The flashback sent chills down Vasilisa's back she hated this, she wanted her brother back. She walked up the stone path to her Mum's house. She knew her mum was home because she was a painter and she stayed at home in her studio. She opened the door and walked in. Something was wrong, Vasilisa could tell that much, something smelled different, like rust. She walked into the kitchen….her mum wasn't there. Soon she had looked everywhere except the art studio which is where she was going right now. Vasilisa opened the door and regretted every movement. She blinked, was she dreaming? Her mother was lying on the floor covered in blood, a bullet wood to her head, Vasilisa suspected. Cassie Uley had been murdered. Vasilisa took complete action even though she was scared to death, she didn't know what to do, and this is what she asked herself….what would Sam do.
Vasilisa took out her cell phone and dialed for the police and they were here with in minutes. The neighbor ….Mer. Niall had come over to help with a traumatized Vasilisa. What had she done to deserve this? First her brother now her mother and her father couldn't have her, what would happen with her? Would they put her up for adoption? Vasilisa did not want that. Mrs. Niall came up to Alissa and put and arm around her trembling body.
"Now, Now there child, everything is going to be alright. The police are on the phone with the station right now trying to find plans for you. I am so sorry this happened to you, dear Vasilisa. You do know what your name means, right?" When Vasilisa shook her head no Mrs. Niall took a breath and smiled, Vasilisa smiled back, Vasilisa always did like Mrs. Niall. "It means something in two different languages, in Russian, it means Royal, in Turkish, and it means Loyal." Vasilisa cocked her head to the side, she was thinking about what that could mean and if her parents knew that when they named her. A police officer came offer to her, it was a woman, she was gently with her and her name was officer Brookshier. She was friendly and gentle with Vasilisa knowing what she was going through. Vasilisa was sitting on the couch Officer Brookshier bent down so she was looking Vasilisa in her eyes.
"Vasilisa, is that your name?" Officer Brookshier asked, many people got Vasilisa's name confused it was natural. Vasilisa nodded, she wasn't going to speak, and she couldn't. Officer Brookshier went on "Well. From what the station has told us is that you originally come from an Indian tribe in LA Push Washington, You have an older brother who just turned 20, Samuel Uley?" Vasilisa Nodded, were they going to try and persuade Sam to take her? "Well we just got off the phone with your brother and he is going to take you in, you're not going to be alone Vasilisa, we are going to take care of everything we promise," Vasilisa was crying, Sam was going to take her in, what was he going to treat her like? All Vasilisa could do was wonder as she packed and boarded the plane, she was once again going to be re united with her brother. They were once again going to be Vasilisa and Samuel Uley and hopefully she was going to once again be…Her Brother's Girl.

As soon as Sam got the phone call from his work from a day he was completely off he knew something was wrong. It was Chief Swan, his daughter Bella Swan was Jacob Black's love interest, it was quite interesting actually, Jacob loved a girl who loved a leech or a vampire if you will and he didn't even know it. Sam didn't blame Bella at all; she probably didn't know better, not yet any way. The boys were still fresh with the situation. When Sam got the phone call, the elders were all there even Sue Clearwater, Harry's wife, was there. Emily was sitting on the couch next to me and Jared and Paul were sitting on the floor play Call of duty: Black Ops acting like the idiot they are. Sam got up to get the phone. Sam answered it with a simple "Hello"
"Hello, this is Chief Charles Swan from the Forks Police fire department. I am looking for Samuel Uley?" Charlie's voice boomed over the phone, at that moment everyone stopped what they were doing, the boys thought I was in trouble but Sam silenced them with a glare.
"This is him" Sam responded, Billy mouthed for him to put it on speaker phone and Sam did as he told him
"Great, listen Sam; I know this is not going to be easy news to deliver, you might want to sit down. Are you sitting?" the chief asked, Sam answered yes, he was nervous, what was going on, did something; than one name came to his mind….Vasilisa. Did something happen to his sister, did she hurt herself just because of him? Sam sure did hope not, Emily squeezed his hand."Good, anyway your Mum who lives in London, England, UK, was preannounced dead this afternoon. Your sister, Vasilisa found her dead this afternoon in her art studio. I have got word that you sister id fine and that she is in a state of depression. We have gotten word that she was like that before she went to see her mother, but anyway we have her father in custody and he is not allowed to have his children anymore and you are the next on in line to have Vasilisa. I have to tell you that Vasilisa needs someone she knows to take care of her. I know how close you and Vasilisa are Sam, please don't pass this up, and think about Vasilisa. Think about what she is going through right now." Sam was shocked, his mum was dead, how could this be, he looked up everyone's eyes were full of sadness. Vasilisa must have been torn, she found her own mother on the floor dead. Sam looked at Billy, he nodded solemnly, he was letting me take this Sam couldn't smile, but he knew Sam was thankful, before Sam could speak Sam could hear Emily whispering a soft prayer toward Vasilisa. Everyone knew Sam was torn and everyone knew once Vasilisa got here Sam was going to need space to help heal her.
"I will take her in, thanks you so much for calling, when will she be here?" Sam asked, he was anxious to see his sister once again, it had been over a month and that was the longest they has ever been apart, even though he didn't blame her, what he did to Vasilisa was horrible and he deserved every right of hatred for it.
"Great and she should be there tomorrow morning around 10am. So be up and ready. Anyways so we will inform her that she will be staying with her brother. Do you want me to deliver her a message of any kind for you? Charlie asked, Sam thought for a moment, how would Vasilisa feel about Emily, she had always been close with Leah, would she like Emily, would Emily like Vasilisa. Was he going crazy? Emily was going to love Vasilisa and once Vasilisa got to know Emily she would love her to. She might just even let her call her Lissa or Alissa witch only he had the privilege to do. Sam hoped and prayed he had nothing to worry about. He hung up with Billy and took a deep breath.
"Are you going to be alright Sam? With Vasilisa I mean, do you want me to stay and help for a little while?" Sue asked, she did have experience, but Sam knew Vasilisa and practically raised her, he was going to fine, plus he had Emily.
"Nah, but thanks Sue, I know Vasilisa she is pretty easy to handle, she won't be hard at all, plus I have Emily so it will make it better. Vasilisa pretty much knows how to deal with herself she just needs a guardian to watch her." Sam explained and Sue smiled and nodded,
"I Wish Leah were like that, gracious she needed me for everything, now I am not going into detail, but she still needed me for everything." Everyone laughed; they all knew how Leah could get. Emily stood and brushed herself off
"Well, Vasilisa has to have a place to sleep; I am going to clear the bed room closest to ours, so she has her own bath room. The boys don't need to be in her business" Jarred and Paul laughed than said something about how Vasilisa was hot and Sam immediately growled, but calmed down as he saw the picture of Lissa hanging on his wall, Sam was going to get his sister back and he was happy,
