It had been a long night. She was tired, hungry, cold, and had the worst headache ever. All Nadya wished to do was to get a hot shower and crawl into bed. And yet it didn't seem like that was going to be on the docket at all. Despite her very being telling her that this was her home, her brother seemed to disagree with that fact. Her demand to know what he did with her clothes, room be damned, but her clothes...was met with the declaration that she took them. "Took them? Took them where...when?" There was pure exasperation in her voice. Nadya quickly shook her head and simply tried to move on, agreeing to take whatever clothes there were if only to just get out of what she was in.
Nadya faced her brother in disbelief at the words that continued to escape his mouth. "I haven't been gone even-..." How long had she been gone? It felt like perhaps a few days, not the years Aiden was declaring and she certainly had no memory of anything he was talking about. She tried desperately to make sense of this. The venom from him much greater than their usual spats and so confusing. Her eyes shut tightly as her fingers death gripped the railing of the stairs, the only memory that flashed in her head was that of a man standing beside her and injecting her arm with something that made her entire body feel like it was on fire. Even now it made her body tighten, drawing a shaky breath from the woman as she tried to compose herself.
Slowly her eyes opened to re-focus on her brother. "I don't have a boyfriend-...I live here because you're my brother; I left my old pack to come here to Sacro to find you, to be with you. I was just here and now everything you're saying...it doesn't make sense. Nothing makes sense. I don't remember anything that you're talking about." Nadya's entire body shook, fighting that feeling to run but she had no idea where to run to. This was her home...the last home she remembered. Surely she would remember if she didn't live there or if she even had a boyfriend. It had to be some sick joke to some end that she couldn't even begin to fathom. Slowly the woman took several steps backwards up those stairs, shaking her head in disbelief as her eyes began to glisten with unshed tears.
