~Thanks for the reviews!

~Oliver E. C. Davis- yeah looking back on it I see the resemblance...I guess me waiting to read the sequel was probably what caused me to have that dream (*sighs* I still have yet to buy the sequel). To your other questions...the next chapters, you'll get your answer.

"I asked you a question. Are you not capable of forming a sentence or what?" he asked.

"Of course I'm capable of forming a complete sentence," Mai angrily replied, not liking his attitude. She would have thought that he was really cute if it weren't for the fact that he had insulted her.

"I should have you arrested for trespassing and assaulting my guardian," he continued.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to—"

"Really? You didn't mean to somehow end up in my home?"

"Well, you see…" Mai trailed off as she noticed that the tall man was examining his arm.

"Seems like you broke my guardian's arm," he observed.

"I'm really sorry…"

"Save it, " he said to Mai and then turned towards the tall man. "Lin, I need to take you to the hospital, but…"

"Gene," he answered.

"Well, Madoka should be here soon."

"We still can't leave him by himself," the man Lin added.

"I really should call the cops on you…"

"Please don't," Mai begged.

"Fine," he sighed exasperated, and Mai sighed in relief. "But on one condition," he added.

"What is it?"


"Are you sure about this Noll?" Lin asked.

"We don't have much of a choice," he scowled as he backed out of the driveway. "Let's just hope that Madoka gets there soon and that we don't take so long, I mean it's not like he's going to wake up from the coma he's been in for so many years."


Mai was left alone in the house to take care of the boy's twin brother. Mai cursed at her predicament, somehow she always found herself in trouble. The other twin brother told her that he would not call the police on her if she stayed in the house to take care of his brother while he was gone. Mai protested at first but the boy told her that his brother has been in a coma for many years and it was very unlikely that he would wake up during her care. It relieved Mai that she wouldn't have to do anything besides just sit in the room, but it also made her sad to know that the boy was in a coma. The only other thing that made her uncomfortable was the fact that there was a camera recording. The boy had set up two cameras as reassurance that she wouldn't leave when they left. If he discovered that she left, then he would call the police.

At first, Mai paced around the room looking at the other twin. He was hooked up to several machines and it made Mai sad. She wondered how long he had been in a coma. If it weren't for her pacing and the beeps of the machines, the room would have been silent. Tired of pacing around, Mai spotted an armchair and decided to sit on. As she sat down, her phone buzzed.

(Did you get out?)- Masako

(No, I'm practically being held hostage. By the way, where are you?)-Mai

(….I'm home…)-Masako

(What?! You just left me?!)-Mai

(Sorry, I kind of freaked out when I saw a tall man walking about the house)-Masako

"Some friend," Mai muttered.

Mai stopped texting Masako afterwards, but her phone still buzzed.

(Mai, where are you?)-Ayako

(Sorry, I meant to text or call you but I went over to a friend's house)-Mai

(Next time, warn me, but I'm glad you already made friends. I'm picking up Houshou from the airport, so I'll be gone for a while. There is food in the fridge if you come home early, love you) –Ayako

(Will do. Love you too)-Mai

(Mai?)-Masako

(Yes, I'm still alive. I'll text you later, that is, if I'm still alive or if they let me have my phone while I'm in jail)-Mai

Masako didn't text back afterwards. Mai checked her phone; it read 4:00. Mai sighed, only ten minutes had past since they had left.

"I'm sorry I'm such terrible company, but in my defense I just woke up," a voice croaked.

Startled, Mai jumped out of her seat. "W-what? Y-you a-aren't s-suppose t-to be a-awake."

"Well that's so kind of you," he joked, before he started coughing.

"I didn't mean it that way," she blurted. Mai was at a loss at what to do, she didn't expect for the twin to wake up. She had to call…

"Damn, he didn't give me his number nor did he tell me his name," she thought.

Mai looked around the room; hoping that for some reason, they kept their numbers in a notepad or something and tried to ignore the fact that the other twin was just staring at her.

Next to the twin's bedside, she found a piece of paper with several numbers with their names across from them. She saw the names Oliver, Lin, Martin, Luella, and Madoka. She figured she would call Lin, since she didn't know the name of the other twin.

Mai quickly dialed the number on her phone and on the second ring, Lin answered.

"Hello?"

"Lin? Um the twin woke up, I don't know what to do…"


Oliver heard Lin swear, which meant something bad must have happened because the usual stoic man hardly lost his composure. The only other thing that he heard his guardian say was that someone was on the way and then he hung up.

"Noll, call the private doctor and tell her to head to the house and you should also head straight to the house. It appears that Gene has woken up. I'll have Madoka pick me up instead and we'll head over there as soon as we can."

Oliver was stunned, but he did what Lin told him to do.


Mai was a wreck; she kept pacing back and forth, hoping that someone was on his or her way.

"So who exactly are you? Are you my brother's girlfriend or something? Where's Noll and why exactly are you taking care of me?" he asked, voice still raspy.

"That's your brother's name? No, I'm not your brother's girlfriend; I barely met him today. As much as I would like to say that I'm taking care of you willingly, I'm not. I sort of got blackmailed into taking care of you," Mai admitted.

"Blackmailed? How so?"

"I'd rather not say."

"Please humor me, I just woke up."

"Fine," she sighed. "I just moved across the street a couple of days ago and I heard several rumors about this place, which are quite nasty if I might say. Anyways, today was my first day at school and I made a new friend who walked home with me today. Apparently everyone talks about your family because she told me another rumor about you guys. Well in short, she dared me to go inside your house and well, I caught by your guardian Lin. I guess I broke his arm trying to escape, but I wasn't able to because your brother blocked my exit. Since I broke your guardian's arm, your brother and Lin had to go to the hospital but couldn't leave you alone so your brother blackmailed me into taking care of you. None of us expected for you to wake up," Mai finished.

"Wow, you broke Lin's arm? I would have loved to have seen that."

Mai shook her head. "So what's your name?"

"Eugene Davis, but call me Gene. Oh and by the way my brother's name is Oliver."

As soon as Gene finished speaking, Oliver and a doctor burst through the door. Oliver didn't even glance at Mai as her told her to leave. Mai wanted to tell him to at least say please, but didn't because she didn't want to risk the chance of him changing his mind of calling the police, so she quietly left the house.

As she left the house, Mai started to text Masako.

(I'm alive for now….)-Mai

( :) I'm glad….so what happened?)-Masako

(I'll tell you tomorrow)-Mai.

Masako didn't reply back and so Mai quickly crossed the street and went inside the house.

"Maybe it would be best to steer clear away from that family," Mai thought.

Whether it was luck or misfortune, Mai would not be able to avoid the Davis family.
