twelve
It had been officially a week since the disappearance of Natalia Agnelli and Edward Nunier. Lilith and Steven frantically searched for their adoptive daughter, they had no idea she had intentions of leaving, and she had grown so fond of them.
Steven continued to sit in the chair and stare at the telephone in front of him, just hoping it would ring. Lilith looked out the window to see the gazebo covered in snow, hiding all it's secrets, and the events that occured there.
FLASHBACK !
The things the poor girl had to endure this journey was frightening. She hadn't been this far from home, and she didn't regret leaving this far. She released her long red hair from her bun and she sat down at the nearby gazebo. It was pretty, white, and decorated with lights. Just by the gazebo was a elegant cottage like house.
"Stranger in the gazebo!" A voice called out, instantly perking Vivian up. Vivian suddenly felt water on her and she stumbled out of the gazebo. "Stop! Stop it!" She pleaded but she kept on getting blasted with water from the collage hose. "Lily please" A sterner voice called out. The water stopped immediately and Vivian coughed out water.
The young Lilith felt proud at this moment, saving her family from an intruder, how heroic. "How old are you" The man asked Vivian and she looked up slowly at him.
"I turn fifteen in six days" Vivian answered, making the man widen his eyes. The older woman beside him caught onto what was happening and she rushed next to Vivian.
"Red hair, green eyes, a fifteenth birthday coming up, Vivian Agnelli" She said to the girl, cupping her face. Lilith went into shock, she had almost drowned a noble lady out of impulsive so much for trying to protect her family.
"You should be home" The older woman told Vivian. Vivian shook her head and got up suddenly. "I can't go back, Mother Evans is trying to make me to noble lady things and marry me off I can't do that!" She panicked and cried.
Lilith ran to Vivian and gave her a warm hug. Vivian wasn't used to such affection, for her siblings viewed her as competition and she was simply a pawn in Evans Agnelli's little game. Suddenly, two boys came out of the house, one with silver hair and one with dark hair. The boy with dark hair caught eyes with Vivian, and she was instantly drawn to him, he smiled at her slightly, and which she returned.
"This is my cousin Steven and my best friend Dennis" Lilith pointed at the two boys. "I understand you, I'm to be wed to my cousin and I'm terrified" Lilith added to Vivian. Finally someone to relate to, that's all Vivian needed.
"Hun we have to keep her" The older woman said to her husband. "House a noble fugitive, Eurydice it's too dangetous." The older man said. "She's a child, starving, and she needs a mother right now" Eurydice pointed out, seems as if she's already getting attached.
"Fine, but we need to hide her identity. We will say she's our other daughter, change her hair and clothes, as Lilith is being courted by my brothers son, why not Dennis court her?" The older man points out. Vivian looked back at Dennis, she didn't mind because he was attractive but being married early is what she ran away from.
"Would you stay?" Eurydice asked Vivian, extending her hand out for her. Vivian stared at her hand and sighed as she took it, and her life had never been the same.
flashback over
"We should have known better" Steven said. Lilith came back to her senses as she looked at the gazebo once more, and the same hose she used on Vivian. "I know" She answered sadly.
"You don't know Lily" Steven said in an aggravated tone. Lilith was taken aback by it. "What are you saying?" She hestiantly asked. "We knew she was Harvey's from the very begging, even Dennis knew. He was there when she first came, all wet, dirited, with auburn hair striking out" Steven told her. "She never wanted marriage, I never wanted it either. We were young and you were my second cousin" Lilith pointed out. "But I still kept you happy did it not?" Steven countered.
Lilith stared at him in shock and frowned. "Steven it isn't about that" Lilith told him, and he apologized. "We hid a noble girl, and she died" Lilith told him. "At least her mother knew" Steven said. "That isn't the point, we could have kept her healthier throughout the pregnancy we hated her because we knew she was having an affair with Harvey, she could have had her son, she could have been alive, Talia wouldn't have been motherless" Lily said.
"I felt as if we could have sent Natalia to a medical specialist for her aboulomania." Steven said, making is wife nod. "We have to find Natalia, for the things I've done to Vivi, this might be ny redeption" Lily told him. Steven kissed her forehead and hugged her deeply.
we will
Natalia stared at herself in the vanity. Her grandmother had her sleeping in her mothers old room. The whole family history had been upsetting. All of the Agnelli daughters had died during childbirth, and her uncle Maxwell was murdered without any children. The rest of the Agnelli children grew up with their grandmother, but their fathers were present and equally as wealthy.
Expect Natalia, the illegitimate one with blonde hair. She brushed her red locks, and she felt as if she was looking at the ghost of her mother. There was a knock at the door which startled Natalia, she quickly dressed appropriately and yelled, "Come in"
The door opened to see someone she had least expected to see, a face she didn't want to see for a very long time.
it was Jonathan.
Natalia gasped and covered her mouth. "Is this boy alright Natalia" one of her security guards asked. She diverted her attention to him and nodded. "He is fine, um leave us be" She told him, and he did as she told him.
Jonathan smiled and ran up to her to give her a hug. She was taken aback but soon she melted into it, it was good to feel is soft touch again. Once they pulled away they looked into each others eyes.
"Why did you do it?" Was the first thing he asked her. She sighed and stepped back. "I don't know" She told him. "What do you mean you don't know Natalia? I loved you and you left me" Jonathan told her. She shook her head and turned away from him. "Do you love me Talia?" He asked her. She turned back to him with a soft sad look.
"Jon, I do" She told him, not really knowing what that meant. He smiled happily and cupped her cheeks. "I knew it, I knew you still love me" He told her, and he kissed her softly, but she pulled away suddenly.
"No I can't" She told him, he was confused. "I love Edward more" She told him. Jonathan stared at the girl in shock. Felicity was right, and Felicity. He couldn't do this to her, a little part of him still hoped Natalia loved him. He wanted to listen to her, he really did. He liked now their kisses felt and the way she comforted him. However, he couldn't shake out his obsession with Natalia.
"I understand" He swallowed, putting his hands in his pockets, until he felt the flower. He took out the gazebo daisy he took from her house and placed it in her hands. Natalia remember that elysian moment they shared with one another, it was perfect, a perfect display of happiness.
She smiled and her eyes were teary. "Thank you" she said. Jonathan gave her a weak smiled and left the room. Right as he walked out the door he was greeted with her face. Her sweet face, he immediately hugged and kissed her cheek.
Felicity cradled his face and cried lightly. "I thought I was going to lose you in that room, but you came back" She told him. Maybe Felicity was the only one he needed, the only one that could ever love him as deeply as he wanted.
Her love was true he had hoped, he couldn't risk another heartbreak. When he opened his eyes he spotted Edward, just staring sadly at his sister and Jon. Jonathan felt a pang of hate and jealously that Edward finally got to the heart of Natalia.
He couldn't help it, it was too much for him to take. He kept hugging Felicity, she was the only person keeping him sane, he told himself he only wanted her.
Felicity was conflicted to she didn't know do this, this was her first relationship. After she hugged Jonathan she went to her brother and they both were on the verge of tears. "I told Lily and Steven about her whereabouts" She told him, he nodded sadly and hugged her.
"Does mom know?" Edward whispered in her ear. Did mom know her children like Jonathan and Natalia, it was quite obvious and no she wasn't happy. "Yes" She told him and he sighed.
"If that's the case she's not going to seperate Natalia and I, we are going farther" Edward said loudly, making Jonathan perk up. "No you can't" She said. "Yeah, Lily and Steven need their daughter" Jonathan told him.
"She's not even theirs! She's Vivian and Harvey's child. Maybe I'll find we're Harvey is, Talia and I stay there" He planned. "Don't make such a brash desicion" Natalia said behind them with crossed arms.
Edward furrowed his brows and cupped cheeks. "Isn't this what you wanted? Adventure?" He questioned. "Being adventurous is making me question things!" She told him. "You question every fucking thing Natalia" Edward yelled.
"Don't yell at her" Felicity told her brother. Natalia teared up and gripped her hair tightly. "I'm an aboulomaniac, I'm so sorry" She cried, falling onto the floor.
Jonathan picked her up, and Evans' came out suddenly. "Natalia?" She called out. Natalia looked at her grandmother. "You look flushed child" She told her. Natalia stood on her feet and breathed out, she weirdly rushed to Edward, giving him a tight hug.
Everyone was confused on how her mood and everything switched when it was with her. Evans' saw her daughter in that child, and it made her terrified. "Child, do you want to meet your father?" She asked Natalia. Natalia blinked and nodded. "Then you better leave tonight, before Lily and Steven can take you, I'll tell Harvey you two will be on your way, be safe, I love you" Evans told Natalia, giving a long kiss on her forehead and cheeks befote scurrying away.
"Lily and Steven are freaking out and waiting for you to come home" Jonathan told her. "I don't want to come home" She told him. "Why not?" He asked her. "It's none of your business!" Edward yelled at him. "Oh shut up Edward, leave the girl be" Felicity told her brother. " You're still helplessly in love with me" Natalia barked at Jonathan, and he was beyond angry at the woman in front of him. "I never knew love when I was with you! Only Felicity has shown me love while you were gone getting change and manipulated" Jonathan yelled at her. "Manipulated? Oh please, the only one that has been manipulated was you, Felicity was only there for you to get your heartbroken because our mother told us to" Edward confessed. Felicity froze and then became angry. "You know I grown to love him, matter of fact I always had! You used Natalia!" Felicity screamed. Natalia broke away from Edward and started to cry.
"You never even loved me! Nobody loves me! Not momma, not dad, nobody! I turned everyone away from me. My brother is gone, my momma is gone! Everything hurts because I don't know what I want!" Natalia screams. Jonathan is silent but looks at Felicity. She shakes her head and tries to speak but she can't. "I know you love me Felicity" He tells her. He clutches his hand with hers. "We are all so confused" Felicity tells him. "You never manipulated me, your mother gave you the orders but the only one who acted on it was Edward, I had noticed that" He tells her.
Edward holds Natalia and she cries in his arms. "I'm nothing without you" He repeats to her. "We will leave now" Edward tells them two as Natalia and him, head for the door. She is sunken in his arms, speechless and broken. Felicity and Jonathan feel as if they see two dead lost souls trying to support one another.

Edward straps Natalia's limb body into his car and he gets in. He looks at her and she blinks at him. He had previously looked up Harvey's residence, he hoped this would be healthy for Natalia. He looked at her again, and she looked back. "I love you more anyone, do you love me still?" Natalia said softly, all the yelling had gotten to her voice. "Or was I just an experiment for my mother's sins?" Natalia told him. "I love you, you're much more than that. That's why I wanted you out that town, to start a new life with you, without Lily, Steven, and my mother" Edward said, all eyes on her. "You want to start a new life with me?" Natalia asks him. "Of course, I love you" He tells her.
The lovers didn't know that their spoken word had completely distracted them from the road. A loud crash emerged because Edward has unknowingly swered into the other lane. The car went flying, glass breaking everywhere, it rolled down the hill and almost into a nearby frozen lake.
Edward screamed in pain and Natalia whimpered. The lovers were bleeding profusely and lying on the rocky land on the hill, the lake next to them. It was freezing and Natalia felt the wet snow on her clothes. She scoffed next to her lover and she cupped his face.
"Ed..Ed.." She whimpered in pain. He took her hand and kissed it. "I'm sorry" He told her but she shook her head. "You're hurting, because of me" She told him. "No" He said. "I-I told you t-that the reason why I kissed you first was because I-I love you, I never knew love till I met you, Ed, say it again, say what you said to m-me before this all happened" He told him and she gave him and eskimo kiss. He coughed out blood and his nose dripped blood. "I said that, I wanted to start a new life with you, only you, because I love you" Edward told her, wiping her tears away. "We can start new lifes, through this" She said, scotting closer.
Then they realized, this was the same position they were in, in front of the Agnelli Manor. Snow falling, faces within centimeters apart. Natalia bumped their noses together again and kissed him deeply. She could taste the tears and blood from him, she was hurting so much. Once they pulled away, their breathing became difficult and heavy.
"Thank you Edward, for showing me love" She told him. The two stared at each other, held each others hand, lips only a centimeter apart, bleeding out, in the freezing cold, with snow falling on top of them.
they bled out together.
and died, and weren't found until the next morning.
