Chapter Six

Vasilisa sat still on the plane as the flight attended to other passengers. Vasilisa was scared, she didn't know what to expect from her brother. What was he going to treat her like? Was he going to lock her up in a room and feed her when she needed to be fed and give her only what she needed? Maybe he would go back to normal. Maybe it was just a phase Sam was going through. That's what Vasilisa hoped and prayed it was. She prayed her brother would let her back into his life. As the plane landed Vasilisa thought of back before she went to London a couple months before. She had friends, like Jacob Black and Seth Clearwater. Kim Whalers was also a friend of Vasilisa's, what would they all think of her? She hoped they would all be there for her still.

Vasilisa got off the plane and looked around for Chief Swan. He was picking her up to explain everything and Vasilisa was thankful she wasn't ready to face Sam, not yet. When she spotted him he was in uniform and standing by the back of the airport waiting for her. She walked up to him and smiled. She still hasn't talked or communicated with anyone sense the talk with her mum. He smiled back and took her bags. He was aware of her reason not to speak. Sam works with Charlie so they knew each other fairly well. He knew how close Vasilisa and Sam were. Vasilisa walked silently beside Chief Swan as they walked out of the air port. Some people recognized her as Sam Uley's sister and started whispering. Probably surprised she was back in town. When they were both in Chief Swan's curser Chief Swan poke.

"Vasilisa, I know you have been through a lot this last month and I understand why you aren't speaking to anyone. I just want to tell you that not speaking is not going to fix anything between you and Sam. I know you think everyone is lying about this, but I am here to tell you and I promise I am not lying. Sam still loves you and nothing will ever be able to change that. Everyone knows how close you and Sam were. He misses you Vasilisa, he hasn't been the same sense you have left. Trust me when I say that." Chief's Swan's words hit Vasilisa like a bucket of cold water. It was bad enough Leah Clearwater had said the same words to her, she didn't need this. She was already scared about Sam. She didn't speak, she wasn't planning on it. Charlie glanced at her; she was twirling a strand of golden blonde hair around her finger as she stared out the window. "Vasilisa, we are trying to do what is best for you. I understand Sam hurt you and I don't blame you for shutting down, but it can't be like this forever." When Vasilisa didn't say anything Charlie tightened his grip on the steering wheel, than sighed. His face turned grim and went blank as if he was remembering something from the past, but then shook It off." Vasilisa watched him silently not saying a word, she knew he was trying his hardest, but was she ready to speak to anyone? She decided not and stayed silent. As they pulled into La Push Vasilisa recognized everything. The beach, the houses. They were almost to Sam's and her stomach clenched, she was so close to her brother. They pulled into Sam's house and Charlie got out, Vasilisa hesitated. Charlie gave her a stern look and she finally got out, her boots clicking against the pavement. She walked next to Charlie with her head down. Charlie knocked on the door and it opened quickly, that's when Vasilisa looked up, it wasn't Sam but it was Emily. Her scares we jagged and she was smiling.

"Vasilisa, we have been expecting you, Come on in" Vasilisa followed Emily walking stiffly with her hands to her sides. Emily led them to the kitchen, where Paul and Jared and all the elders were. Vasilisa felt eyes on her and she wished her hair was not in a braid but able to fall around her. She wanted to shield herself from everything. She looked up finally after the silence became awkward to her. Sam was there and Vasilisa shivered at his looks. He was wearing only a pair of cut off jeans. His face was fierce. He was sitting on the counter top and staring at her. Paul and Jarred seemed calm but they were secretly smirking. Sam hoped off the counter and nodded at Charlie who was putting Vasilisa's bags down.

"She won't speak. I have tried to do everything I can, but she will not talk to anyone. I explained to you that this has been going on for awhile. You might want to try and get her to talk. It's not good for her." Vasilisa crossed her arms a crossed her chest and looked at Sam who looked at Vasilisa with a "What are we going to do with you look?" "Other than that she is good to go, I will check in on you later Vasilisa, oh and one more thing. Paul Jared I suggest you not say a word to Vasilisa about anything that went on. She will run and I doubt you will ever see her again. So please just let Sam do the talking." Than Charlie left leaving me alone with the elders, and Sam's 'colt'. The boys looked at me than at Sam. Sam looked back at me and sighed.

"Vasilisa, come with me" Sam started walking out of the house and Vasilisa hesitated, could he be trusted? 'Vasilisa, I promise nothing is going to happen, and you know very well that I am not going to let anything hurt you,, now come on" Vasilisa followed after that and Sam sat down on a hammock, Vasilisa stood unsure of what to do. Then he did the one thing Vasilisa missed the most, he got up and hugged her picking her up off the ground as he always did.

"I missed you so much, Lissa"

Please please review! It would mean the world to Vasilisa who is heartbroken! Thank you!
