Isabella/John,Jill

Isabella was stubborn as can be so of course she came back.Seeing no one at the moment she sat down on the bridges rail.Her dark brown hair with lighter brown streaks blew in the summer's low wind.Her emerald green almost hazel eyes were bright.She had her wolf Dixie with her.

John and Jill White were padding onto the bridge just then.They were russians that had just come to this place, and were new.They didn't trust others tu easy, and then were suspicious.They trusted themselves and others like them though.

Kanan; Vivka; Kuna; Lev; Ivan

The group stood on the bridge as if they owned it, rarely letting anyone past them. Kanan's eyes narrowed when he saw Isabella and the strangers. He motioned for Vivka to greet John and Jill while he handled the girl.

Kanan stepped forward, straight toward Isabella. "And look who came crawling back. I thought I told you to stay away!" He said angrily and impatiently. Kuna stood beside him in case he should need any help.

Vivka, Lev and Ivan approached the newcomers. "Privet. Vy nedavno zdes'?" 'Hi. Are you new here?' She asked in her native language.

Isabella/JackJill

Isabella just glared at them."This is a free place, and i didn't come crawling back,"she said just as angerly.

Jack looked up when he heard the familiar language.He smiled.Jill was smiling as well."Hello.Yes we are new.I'm Jack White and this is my sister Jill White,"he said.

Kanan Volkov

Kanan smirked snarkily. "That's where you're wrong. This is our place." He replied curtly.

Vivka smiled. "Ia Vivka Volkova. Zto Lev Nikonov i Ivan Kavelin. Chto, vy zdes'?" 'I'm Vivka Volkova. This is Lev Nikonov and Ivan Kavelin. What brings you here?' She pointed at her friends as she introduced them.

Isabella/Jack,Jill

Isabella glared at him still."No i don't think i'm wrong.This is as much of my place as it is yours,"she said matter of factly.

"We just moved here, and we were checking the place out,"said Jill.Jack let his sister talk.It was the first time she talked to strangers, but they were Russian like them.

Kanan Volkov

Kanan shook his head. "Wrong, kid. We claimed this place as ours." He stated.

Vivka nodded. "Vy mozhete ostat'sia zdes', esil khotite." 'You're welcome to stay here, if you want.' She suggested. Kanan might be kinda nervous about it, but Vivka saw no threat.

Isabella/Jack,Jill

Isabelle narrowed her eyes."I'm not leaving.This place is for everyone not matter what you say,"she said standing now.She waited for a reactioin ready.

"Thank you.May i ask how you came here,"Jill said.Jack waited silently.

Kanan Volkov

Kanan grinned. "This has always been my place. And if you don't leave, I'll be forced to use my AK-47." He showed her the assault rifle hanging from a shoulder strap. It was, without a doubt, the most powerful automatic assault rifle.

Vivka shrugged. "My prishli na ploskosti." 'We came on a plane.' And this was all she was telling them.

Isabella/Jack,Jill

Isabella glared at him."You wouldn't dare.First off the police will come after you.Then my stepsister will drop their alliance and come after you,"she said.She wasn't sure about the last two parts, but she had a haunch.j

Jack smiled."Thats great.My sister too scared to ride on a plane,"he said.Jill blushed from this.It was true she hated them with a passion due to her father had died in one.

Kanan Volkov

Kanan smirked. "Yeah, I would. Either way, I'm no longer with my family, and that's who your sister has an alliance with." He replied. Suddenly, he hatched a plan. He'd hold this girl here and maybe teach her a lesson. He was determined to get some respect. He aimed to grab her arm.

Vivka looked back at her brother, sighing. She would like to be able to say that it was just like old times, but it wasn't.

Isabella/Jack,Jill

Isabella not suspecting it was grabbed.She struggled though."Let me go i'm not going anywhere with you,"she shouted at him her voice full of hate.

Jack saw this."Is something troubling you miss,"he asked politely.Jill watched concern on her face.

Kanan

Kanan held Isabella where she was. "Are you going to leave or not?" He asked.

Vivka switched to English now and shook her head. "No, not really, it's just that this kid has been trespassing on our land." She explained, loud enough for Isabella to hear.

Kuna stood beside Kanan. "Normally, I'd suggest that you let her go, but she's got such a mouth on her that I think it's our duty to teach her some manners." She said to her friend. Of course, they'd take good care of Isabella while she was here, and they definitely didn't plan on hurting her.

Isabella/Jack,Jill

Isabella glared at Kanan."I have every right to be here,"she hissed out in anger."Let me go,"she said struggling again.

Jack nodded his head."Would you like some help,"he asked switiching to English as well.Jill smiled showing she help to.

Kanan

Kanan kept his grip. "If I let you go, you have to walk away and never come back. This is our place." He motioned to a house on the riverbank. "That's our house. That means that you're in our yard." He handed the girl over to Kuna, who held her firmly, but not so hard as to hurt her. "Don't worry. You will not be harmed." The red-haired woman assured truthfully, leading her to the house. With any luck, she could convert Isabella over to their side.

Vivka shrugged. "It looks like Kuna has it under control." She said calmly.

Isabella/Jack,Jill

Isabella struggled,but was held to firmly to get loose."You'll pay for this,"she said coldly.

Jack watched on."That is good,"Jill said.She was glad to be with other Russians for once.

Kuna Kazakova

Kuna let Isabella's threat roll of her back. She said nothing. She simply led the girl to the house. "You can have a seat anywhere. There's iced tea and lemonade in the kitchen if you're thirsty. There are some brownies on a plate on the table." She said warmly. She was one of the friendlier members of the gang and saw no reason not to make Isabella feel at home.

Kanan soon met up with the two in the house. He sat at the table and turned on the TV.

Vivka looked at the newcomers. "Do you want to come inside?" She asked.

Isabella/Jack,Jill

Isabella glared at them all.She stood up against the wall her muscles tense, but didn't sit down.Posioned she thought when she heard what they said about the brownies,tea, and lemonade.There was no way she was going to drink it.Not till she knew it was safe.Her sword was still on her back, and she wondered if they were going to take it away from her.

Kuna Kazakova

Kuna poured herself a small glass of tea and drank it, proving that it wasn't poisoned. If it was, she'd drop dead. "You have nothing to fear." She then gave Kanan a suspicious look. "Right, Kanan?" She said pointedly.

Kanan grinned and shook his head. "You really think I'd hurt a girl?" He retorted. "Remember when we first met, how we hated each other? And you were such an annoyance to me that I wanted nothing to do with you."

Kuna blushed. "Yeah, I remember that." Their first encounter was bad, but Kanan didn't lay a finger on Kuna, as much as they disliked each other at first. Kuna took a moment to reflect, then looked back at Isabella. "Do you need anything?" She asked politely.

Isabella/Jack,Jill

Isabella listened to what they said silently."It wouldn't be the first time i was hurt by a guy,"she said.She been in plenty of fights with them.She relaxed her muscles as she padded forward and poured herself a glass of tea as well.She took a drink actually liking the taste of it."No thanks,"she said back to Kuna, and for the first time her voice wasn't harsh.

Jack and Jill watched on.

Kuna Kazakova

Kuna smiled, seeing that Isabella finally seemed to believe that they were no threat.

Kanan glanced at the girl. "I'm not like the rest. In Russia, men actually have respect for women, unlike in this sorry crater." He stated.

Lev, Kanan and Ivan, at the moment, were beginning to play a game over the internet. "I'm gonna nuke you, Ivan." Lev taunted, turning on his computer.

Kuna shook her head. "They're always playing that game." She said to Isabella. "There's a TV in the living room. You can watch whatever you want. And there's a radio here in the kitchen if you want to listen to music."

Isabella/Jack,Jill

Isabella smiled at what Kanan said.At least some males have respect she thought."Its okay.My sister's male members can be like that.I grown used to it from the little bit of time i've been here,"she said.She grew quiet after that.She wished she hadn't come here, and it was a touchy subject with her.The thing is she would feel better if she got it out, but that would only hurt her pride.Whats pride though if your hurt and sad all the time?She nodded her head to what Kuna said.Wondering what Rose would do when she didn't return worried her a bit, but she didn't care at the moment.

Jill perked up at what was being said by Kanan.She nudged her brothers shoulder."Dosen't mean i can't tease you little sister,"Jack said with a smile.He loved his sister to death and would never hurt her, but he does tease her sometimes.

Kuna Kazakova

Kuna nodded. "I can understand that." She said calmly. She moved over to where Kanan was sitting and sat down next to him. "You know, you could probably nuke Ivan with your subs." She suggested, pointing at the screen.

Vivka looked at her brother and Kuna. "You sure don't hate each other now..." She said with a grin. Kanan looked at her. "Don't say it, I'm busy." He grumbled. Vivka still grinned. "You looooove each other!" With that, she ran into the kitchen and laughed. She looked at Isabella. "If you ever get bored, that's pretty fun." She said, quite amused.

Kanan shook his head. "My sister is a moron. Don't listen to her." He said to Isabella. But really, he was playing along.

Isabella/Jack,Jill

Isabella hid a giggle by covering her mouth."I'm sure it is,"she said to Vivka."You know your lucky you have a real sister that cares for you,"she said to Kanan.

Jack smiled at what was happening.Jill giggled too, but didn't hide it.It felt good to laugh again she thought.

Kanan

Kanan sighed and turned his attention back to his game. "But it won't be long until she's taken from me too." He said solemnly.

Vivka looked at her brother, knowing how protective he was, and also knowing how dangerous this town was. It was quite possible that she'd be taken away someday. After all, she already had a few bad encounters.

Kuna stood up and looked out the window. She just got a bad feeling. A feeling that they were being watched.

Isabella/Jack.Jill

Isabella sighed at what was said by Kanan.It seemed she wouldn't be seeing her sisters for a while.Maybe they wouldn't worry she thought, but she knew Dawn would if anyone.

Jack and Jill nodded their heads at what was being said.They would obey the rules.

Kanan

Kanan looked around at his group. "It might sound unfair, but it's for everybody's protection." He said, rather dully, for he was quite tired.

Kuna listened to Kanan, then walked outside with Lev to feed Konstantin's horse.

Kanan leaned against the counter. "I need to go to the corral to pick up Kuna's new horse today. But don't tell her. It's a secret." He looked at the newcomers. "Do any of you want to come with?" He knew about Kuna's dream to have a champion racehorse. Now maybe she would.

Isabella/Jack,Jill

Isabella went to the back room.She managed to sneak out of a window without being seen.

Jack looked up."We would like to go,"Jill said.

Kanan

Kanan watched Isabella go away, but got suspicious when she didn't come back. "Dad, Vivka, can you follow the girl and see what she's up to?" He asked.

Konstantin and Vivka nodded, going out the door.

Kanan then led Jack and Jill out the door and got into his truck. He waited for them to get in, then drove to the Unknown Corral.

Jack,Jill

They followed silently.
