Saint Petersburg



Melina Vostokoff walked towards her home in silent confusion. Her steps short and hesitant, an alarm had gone off alerting her of an intruder, but that intruder is nowhere to be seen.

She paused at her door glancing around the dark rooms only slightly illuminated by a small lamp in the kitchen

She opened her closet ready to place back her weapon, unaware of the dark shadow that passed behind her. She set down her weapon and her fingers hesitated at the button to alert the Red Room.

She turned slowly towards the kitchen and stiffened at a steaming cup of coffee on the table, she had not left that there.

She rushed to press the button but someone spoke

"на твоем месте я бы этого не делал..." (I wouldn't do that if I were you...)a voice trailed off as Melina found herself unable to move

Melina frowned in confusion and frustration as her fingers touched the button but had no strength to press down on it. She could feel her blood slow within her and her heartbeat rang loudly in her ears

"кроме того, я бы ушёл задолго до их прибытия" (besides I would be long gone before they arrived) the voice finished off as they emerged from the dark

Melina scowled in anger

"кто ты?" (Who are you?) Melina asked harshly, her eyes following the intruder who added sugar to her coffee unable to see her face

The intruder huffed a laugh as they stirred

"Doesn't feel good being the puppet doesn't it?" The intruder asked in English facing Melina, who realized it was a woman whose eyes glowed red

"Who are you?" Melina asked again

The woman tapped her spoon against the cup gently

"I'm just here to see an old acquaintance" she stated casually as she took a seat

"Come, sit" she said motioning at the chair in front of her

Melina clenched her jaw in anger as she found herself following the instructions of the woman and moved like a puppet towards her

The woman drank her coffee comfortably as Melina sat down

"Melina Vostokoff" the woman said staring deeply into Melina's eyes

Melina furrowed her brows her fists clenched as she fought to move, but failed.

"How do you know me?" Melina asked coldly

The woman took a long drink and hummed

"I don't know you, but someone close to me did" she replied casually as she leaned back in her chair and placed something against the table

Melina narrowed her eyes unable to fully see. Suddenly all the lights in the house turned on and Melina could finally see the face of the woman

A tall brunette woman with a cold expression and those harsh red eyes stared at her intently. Melina frowned scanning her features intensely trying to understand why this woman looked-

"Familiar?" The woman finished off as if she read her thoughts as her hand reached out and turned the paper revealing a photograph

Melina followed her actions and froze as she recognized the person in the photo

The woman chuckled at her expression

So tell me...how did you know Amelia Pierce?" She asked leaning forward
