Chapter Text

This AU might be confusing because I thought it up at 1 am on a Monday so forgive me for that.

As said in the tags, N and V are twins, J is their older sister, Cyn is J, N and V's little sister, and Tessa is J, N and V's adopted older sister.

Now for the timeline!!

2003 - Jelena 'J' Sokolova was born to Lyubov Sokolova and Dimitry Sokolov

2005 - Vera, 'V' Sokolova and Nikolai, 'N' Sokolov were born

2010 - Lyubov and Dimitry start arguing more often, J says it's N's fault

2012 - Cynthia 'Cyn' Sokolova was born

2012 (A month or so later) - Lyubov and Dimitry start arguing even more, the yelling scares Cyn leaving N to comfort her while their parents fight

2012 (2 months later) - Lyubov and Dimitry die suddenly, leaving their children to go to the orphanage

2015 - The Elliott family adopts N, V, J, and Cyn

2016 - The Elliotts Start loathing the children they adopted (And in turn start abusing them, Mostly mentally) 

2017 - N starts getting most of the abuse (Ex; getting locked outside, and getting blamed more often)

2018 - J starts physically abusing N (Also mentally)

2022 - J takes Cyn to a child experimentation facility disguised as a children's home

2024/present time - Cyn starts writing letters to N along with a mysterious friend she made in the ‘children's home’

There are some things that happened within the cracks of time that I deemed un-important to add

and yes I made them Russian.

The normal sound of knocking on N’s door awoke him, “ Nikolai! Get your ass up! “ Came the yelling of V, “ I’m up! I’m up! “ N yelled, sitting up in his bed, and rubbing at his eyes. “ Good! J’s making breakfast, wake up Cynthia will ‘ya? “ V asked, N hummed a response back, standing up. V’s footsteps faded down the hall and N was left alone in the silence, “ Wake up Cyn, J’s making breakfast, Wake up Cyn, J’s making breakfast... “ N muttered to himself, walking over to his dresser, passing by a full-length mirror J insisted was in his room so he could ‘Make sure he doesn’t look like he woke up in a dumpster’.

N was wearing golden retriever pyjamas, his hair messy, “ ..Now I kinda get why J says that I look like I woke up in a dumpster when I first wake up. “ N hummed, looking away from the mirror and stretching, finally reaching his dresser. Picking out a simple pair of light blue jeans, and a white turtle neck, “ Hmm.. I think I need to add a few things... Maybe I can ask Cyn! “ N chirped, almost running over to his door, and running down the stairs.

A few minutes later, N reached the hatch of the basement in the library, carefully opening the hatch N descended the creaky steps “ Cyn! You up? “ N called, trying to watch his step in the dark, N heard muffled words somewhere in the basement “ Cyn? “ N called, finally reaching the end of the stairs and the light switch. Flicking the light switch on, light flooded the room, finally being able to see where Cyn was, in her bed. N smiled “ Ah, good morning, J’s making breakfast. “ N hummed, walking over to Cyn’s bed and sitting down. 

“ Whats she making.. “ Cyn mumbled sleepily, N hummed, thinking “ I don’t think V said, How ‘bout we go check? “ N spoke, standing up and taking the covers off Cyn, “ Большой брат! “ Cyn whined, sitting up, her hair all over the place, N giggled “ Sorry little sis. “ N teased, picking Cyn up bridal style, “ But how about instead of whining we get breakfast? Hmm? “ N hummed, walking towards the stairs and flicking off the light switch, plunging the room into darkness.
“Let's hope I can walk up these stairs holding you in the dark! “ N chirped, ascending the stairs slower than normal.
