A Deal
It was in July of 2031 that Anastasia Zemlov first came into contact and caught the eye of Nikolai Brandon. A secretary in the Kremlin, she had been asked to bring him some documents to sign. After a night of passion, a child was conceived.
Unsure of how Nikolai would react to the news that he was to be a father, Anastasia tried to work up the courage to tell him. Before she could, however, she was approached by two men who offered her a way to make sure her child was always cared for. She would be given a house, a job in the private sector, and a bank account in which her child’s university education would be provided. In return, Anastasia had to do one thing: never reveal to anyone (especially Nikolai Brandon) of her child’s paternity. It was a sure thing. Anastasia took the deal and paperwork was signed. Unknown to her was the men were members of a secret organization called the Di Infieri - who were secretly keeping track of all of Nikolai Brandon’s children.
On April 22nd, 2032, Anastasia gave both to a baby girl that she named Penelope. As per her agreement, the father section of her birth certificate remained blank.
A Green Thumb
Penelope, who would go by Penny, was an intelligent child, and curious about the world around her. It was clear from an early age that she liked being outside in nature. She would often spend time sitting underneath the birch tree in their backyard reading. She loved plants of all kinds and always loved to go to gardens and gardening stores.
Penny and her mother built a garden in their backyard where they grew fresh vegetables and flowers. A bench was put there so Penny could sit and look at the flowers. On nice summer days, she would often be found simply sitting on the bench, humming a tune. Penny would notice then that the plants seemed to reach towards her when she did this. It always made her smile and she felt as if the plants liked her as much as she liked them.
An Academic
Penny loves to learn. She enjoys reading and can often be found with her nose in a book. Even though she gets good grades in all her classes, science is her favorite subject. She is involved in music as well, singing in the choir and playing flute in the orchestra. Her teachers comment mostly on her curiosity, saying jokingly that her favorite question is “why?” Penny wants to understand how the world around her works, and it is what makes her an exemplary student.
Questions About Her Father
For most of her childhood, Penny never really asked about her father. She was content with her mother and it wasn’t on her mind. But as she got older, friends, classmates, and teachers would ask about him. The question of who her father was began to dig into her head.
Penny didn’t want to make her mother feel like she was inadequate. Penny loved her mother with all her heart, so she kept her questions to herself for years. It was after she turned 14 that she began to ask. Anastasia initially brushed off the questions, but Penny’s curiosity wouldn’t let it go. She began to ask things like “What is his name?” “Is he nice?” and “Can I meet him sometime?” Anastasia began to feel guilty for her role in hiding Penny’s father’s identity from her. In time, she said she would agree to tell Penny of her father, but first, she had to talk to him. Penny wasn’t sure she understood why, but was glad that her mother had eventually caved in.
A Broken Contract & The Snow Cataclysm
Anastasia went to work the next day. She had been there for thirteen years and was unaware that the business she worked for was owned by the secret Di Infieri. Anastasia drafted a letter to the Ascendancy to inform him of his daughter Penelope. The draft was found and reported.
Later, one of the men who had offered her the deal appeared, draft of letter in hand. He reminded her of her binding agreement. Frightened, Anastasia told him that Penny was asking questions. It was a moment of weakness and she wasn’t going to send it. She would abide by the agreement. She tried to make it convincing even if it was a lie.
He told her to deal with the situation. Lie to Penny. Tell her that her father wants nothing to do with her, or better yet, come up with one and tell her he’s dead. End the questions. Anastasia told him she would, knowing she wouldn’t be able to bring herself to do it.
The Di Infieri’s trust in Anastasia had been shaken, however. It didn’t matter if they believed her or not. She was a liability. She had to go. When both mother and daughter were away from the house, their roof as well as the birch in their back yard was sabotaged. There was a winter storm coming. They made sure house wouldn’t make it.
In early 2047, a massive snowstorm hit Moscow. The sabotaged roof and tree were unable to hold the weight of the snow and ice. The tree fell and the roof of their house caved in. Anastasia was buried. Penny was stuck in a corner, able to see her mother was no longer moving. She was filled with fear. She knew her mother was dead, and it was beginning to get cold.
