Hey guys! As you can see, this is a new story. I am really excited for this story, I think it's going to be great! I have had this idea while I was writing "Ear for Music" and I couldn't wait to get started. So here it is, the first chapter of "Worlds Collide".

Chapter 1
A Little Trip
"Come on, Angel! You have to get your things packed. The carriage will be here in a few minutes!" Eva yells at her son for, what seems to be, the millionth time. Eva turns to the side and sees her daughter. They both giggle at Angel. Eva sits next to her daughter on the couch.
"I always thought girls took forever to get ready. I guess I was wrong." Rose says with a giggle. Eva smiles at her daughter.
"Are you excited?" Eva asks.
Rose gasps. "Am I?! I could not be more excited! I especially excited to meet father." Rose smiles with big eyes. Eva smiles back at her daughter. But their happiness is soon broken when her other son, Gustave, comes into the room and yells at Rose.
"Rose! Will you stop talking about father?! We are just going on vacation!"
"Gustave, stop yelling at you sister. You do this all of the time."
Rose puts her hand up and stands up and walks over to Gustave.
"Alright, Gus. I bet you father is there."
"Yeah, right." He says with a roll of his eyes.
"I bet you that father will be there! Ten francs on the table!" She extends her hand, waiting for him to shake it to seal the bet.
He grabs her hand and a slap echoes through the room. "Deal! You better get a job of you want to get some money." He laughs and walks out of the room to go to the kitchen. Rose turns back around to her mother with a smirk.
"He's going to lose." Rose smiles and runs upstairs to fetch something she said she forgot.
Her father. My Erik. Eva thinks to herself while she is alone. I am finally going to see Erik again. I wonder what he is like now. Did he get married? Have kids? I haven't seen him in almost fourteen years, who knows what happened. I just hope he remembers the kids' birthday. This trip was a birthday present, even though their birthday will be while we are there. It is still great. I also hope he recognizes me. If he doesn't that would be terrible. She sighs and stops thinking when she sees Rose come back down the stairs, Angel following behind.
"Angel, finally!" Eva chuckles. Angel sighs when he gets to the bottom of the stairs.
"My bad is so heavy!"
"How much did you bring?" Rose asks with a smirk.
"We are going for a month. If anything, you didn't bring enough!"
Gustave walks back into the room. "Yeah! Why are we going for so long, mother?"
The other kids look at her, especially Rose, waiting for her to say they are meeting their father.
"Well, there is someone I want you to meet and someone I must catch up with. He has an apartment for us to stay in while we are there, so why not stay for a month! It will be! It's a great amusement park!"
The boys nod and Rose just smiles wide.
"Father…" she says to Gustave with a smile. He rolls his eyes.
"Oh! The carriage is here!" She looks out the window to see a big brown carriage. "Grab your things, children."
Rose grabs her bags and runs out the door. The boys rolls their eyes, but Eva just giggles. Gustave then grabs his backpack, suitcase, and violin case. He follows Rose down the trail, but without as much excitement. Angel is the last one of the kids out of the kids, hauling his bags out the door. Eva can't help from laughing as he stumble down the stairs. When he gets to the bottom and Eva lets out a loud chuckle. Angel walks down the trail and says, "Thanks, mother!"
She giggles once more. "Sorry, honey! I love you!" She sighs in happiness as she looks at her children. She grabs her suitcase and her cloak. Closes the door and looks it. She walks down the trail, after Angel and the coachman takes her things. She nods at him in gratitude and she sees her children are already in the carriage.
Eva giggles and climbs into the carriage next to Rose. She takes Rose's hand and kisses the top of her head. She smiles at the boys and the boys smiles back.
"It won't be that long of a trip. It is only a short ferry ride and then we will be in Coney Island in no time."

"Wow, mother! Look it is so beautiful!" Rose says in awe. Eva looks over at the boys and they seem bored, but she can see in their eyes that they are as excited as Rose.
A man brings all of their stuff to their side and Eva tips the man.
"I can't believe we are in America." Gustave says.
"Yeah. I never thought I would travel so far." Angel agrees.
"Well, we should grab out things and try to find my friend." Eva says.
Rose goes to grab her bag but then she looks to the side and gasps. Then all of a sudden she starts running off. The boys shoot their heads up and they watch. Eva bulges her and wonders what is going on.
"Rose! ROSE, COME BACK!" Eva yells.
She nods at the boys and they starts running off. She jogs close behind. Then all of a sudden they can't find Rose. They look around frantically. But then Eva sighs in relief when she sees Rose jogging once more. Eva starts to walk again and they boys follow. Eva stops when she sees Rose hugging a man with a woman at his side.
But then she sees it's not an ordinary man.
It was a masked man.
