Summary
It started off as a toddler and a teenager, one who lost their innocence at such a young age and one who retained theirs. It started off as a traumatized and cold teenager who refused to let herself open up to the thought that this stupid little fake family was real. It started off as a toddler failing to thrive under two somewhat, occasionally neglectful parents, aching for someone to look after her. It started as two strangers made to be sisters and blossomed into so much more.
Note
this is part of the this'll be the day that i die series so read the first seven parts to make much sense of this. natasha is 13-16 years older than yelena here so keep that in mind.the aim for this one is six to eight chapters but as always, it might run away with me lolthis is basically a look into natasha and yelena's relationship starting at ohio and continuing until the present.i don't think i've ever written a three-year-old's pov before so lemme know your thoughts?
