3rd day in a row! FUCK YEAH! Aren't you guys proud of me?!

Ivan's P.O.V

Sestra (Natalia) is making me drive her somewhere, she's been acting very....off recently, more than usual. She's been very quiet, not talking much and she's been very distant. But anyway, this place she's making me take her, it's in the middle of no-where. I think the last town I saw was about 50 miles back. 

"Turn here." she says to me and we suddenly go on to a bumpy gravelly road to a big house, and by big house I mean BIG house. It was about 2 to 3 stories high with windows that resembled eyeballs. It looked about 60 to 70 years old, the architecture resembling the homes I saw in the late 1940's. We stopped in the wide patch before the porch. I parked the car and popped the trunk. She got her bag and I walked with her up to the door. 

As soon as we got on the porch the front door was unlocked, showing a girl with braided light brown hair and pale blue eyes. She eyed Natalia, and asked in a thick Czech accent she asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Natalia," she responded. The girl's eyes went to me and she repeated, "Who's he?" 

"My brother. " she said, "I'm going to show him the nursery." she said to her. 

Nursery? What does that mean? Does someone here have a baby, is that why she's here? Never mind. 

Me and Natalia walked into the old house, and I saw that the girl was wearing the same thing sestra was wearing, a white button-up shirt and a long pleated grey skirt. The three of us walked up a flight of stairs to a bedroom with 2 medium sized beds with ugly stitched quilts at the foot of their beds. She dropped her suitcase and walked over to me. I smiled and started to speak, "So, this is where you're staying huh? Seems pretty nice." I looked around and started walking out, "Um, so just tell me when it's over or if you don't feel good "

I walked down the stairs and walked over to my car, only to hear a certain sound. 

Fssshhhh

FUCK ME! I crouched down to see where the sound was coming from and....SON OF A BITCH! I see that there's a large gash in one of my tires, how did this happen?! Did I drive over a nail or something? But what nail would make a gash this big?

I walked back to the house and told them my situation, an ashy blonde haired boy told me I could stay with them, 

"Are you sure it's alright?" I asked, and he nodded. Come to think of it he was dressed exactly like the girls, but instead of the grey skirt he had grey khaki pants. The boy escorted me to a room with a lone bed, but it was different than the other rooms I saw. It had pale yellow wallpaper with tropical birds painted all over it. A Large bed with a multicolored quilt and a mahogany rocking chair by it. Then the finishing touches were a book shelf and a beautifully carved dresser. The room seemed different, more colorful, more lively than the other rooms. 

"This is where you'll be sleeping," he said, the boy walked to the dresser and got out a pair of clothes and handed them to me. "You have to wear these, oh, and dinner is at 7:00" he paused and handed them to me, while walking out. I look at the clothes he gave me, a mint green button up shirt and pale grey khakis. 

"They want me to wear the same thing as them, but colorful?" i say to myself. I shrug and change into the clothes. After I'm finished changing I grab a book from the shelf, I notice that they're all books of fables, nursery rhymes that you would tell a young child. I take the thickest one, a compilation book of all the Brother's Grim. 

The stories were very long, and as soon as I flipped the page over to Cinderella I hear a bell ring, "It's time for dinner I think." and I go down stairs to an old fashioned dining room. 

At the table the men and women were separated, men on the left, women on the right, with 1 chair at the head of the table. I sit at the last empty chair on the men's side and I spot Natalia at the 4th chair on the women's side. Sitting next to me is the boy who led me to my room, I turn to him an ask a very fair question,

"So, why are you here?" 

He turns to me with a flat expression and droned voice,"I'm always here." looking around at the table I look at all the people then turn to him again, "Why are all these people here?" 

"Because," he starts, "They all see the world for what it is and are awaiting her guidance," I'm not sure what that means, and i'm pretty sure that I don't want to know, but a couple moments later he speaks to me again, "That girl you came with...are you two friends by any chance?"

what kind of question is that? Anyways, "Siblings,"I respond.

"Are yo two close?" 

I shake my head, "Nyet ever since we were kids we've always been very distant, but we get along fine I guess." I shrug

"Maybe this could be an opportunity for you two to get closer," he states, hmm I don't think that it's that bad of an idea, definitely plausible, maybe i'll try it. Afterwards me and the boy make idle chatter until the girl with the brown hair that greeted us in gets up from her chair and taps a spoon on her glass to get our attention.

I hear a creak on from the stairs,

"Dinner has finally begun"
