Solo il tempo conosce il nostro destino

Chapter 3

Feliciana sighed. It had been four weeks since the little 'incident' with the necklace, and she and Lovino hadn't been having any luck finding a job, much less a place to live. They had spent all of their money on food.

Right now Lovino was trying to find them a job inside a small candy store near a lovely lake. Families were there, swimming and playing. All smiling. Feliciana looked at the shop, hoping they'd get the job. Although, Lovino really wasn't the best with people, so Feliciana doubted they'd be getting a job there.

The Italian girl looked down. She fiddled around with her necklace. Then she glared at it. "Stupid thing." she whispered. "Why couldn't I just sell you? Then Lovi and I wouldn't be in this situation." Feliciana stood up, slowly making her way over to the lake. No one was around this area. It was dark and shady. Not sunny and pretty like the other parts of the beach. Feliciana took off the necklace, ready to throw it in.

"Hey! Stupido! Stop!" Lovino yelled. He ran over to his younger twin. Looking confused, Lovino asked, "Why would you try to throw this out?" He gestured to the necklace.

Tears in her eyes, Feliciana replied honestly, "I got mad at it. I wondered if we had sold it, would we still be in this situation?"

Lovino pulled his sister into a hug. "Probably. Money runs out, you know. Besides, if we had sold it and that happened, we'd be in this situation without anything from Mama."

Feliciana's head snapped up, hitting Lovino in the process. He swore. "Ouch!"

"Did we get the job?"

Lovino put his head down in shame. Feliciana burst out into tears. She was so sick of not having anything to eat, not having a proper place to sleep. Lovino cried silently with her. He felt shameful. This was the sixth time that happened. Because of him his sorella would cry herself to sleep every night.

~***_Time Skip_***~

Lovino tossed and turned, trying to fall asleep. He groaned and sat up. It had been like this for a while now. Filled with guilt, Lovino couldn't sleep at night. He always insisted on doing the job interviews because Feliciana was easy to advantage of. Lovino couldn't let that happen.

Eventually he drifted off into another fitful slumber.

~***_Time Skip_***~

Sunlight streamed through the cracks in the roof. Lovino's eyes opened. He wished it were still night. He didn't wanna get up yet. However, he and Feli had things to do.

The Italian boy got up and dressed. He woke up his sister.

"Noooooo.." She groaned. "It's too earllllyy."

"It is not." Lovino replied.

Feliciana sat up and looked around the little cardboard and wood house they were currently living in. She yawned. "What are we gonna do today?"

"Same as usual." Lovino said. "I'll go outside so you can get ready for the day or whatever." He walked out.

While his sister was changing, Lovino spotted a large crowd down the street. Being curious, he went down to check it out.

When he go there, Lovino groaned. He couldn't see a freaking thing. One thing he had seen though was some carriages. Lovino turned to someone nearby. "What's going on?"

The person tilted his head and Lovino mentally cursed himself. He forgot to speak German. Lovino asked again, this time in German.

The man happily replied. "It's some of the richest aristocrats in all of Austria!"

"Really? That's so cool!" Feliciana said running up to her fratello.

"Yep! Roderich Edelstein and his fiancé Elizabeta Héderváry are in that carriage," The man said pointing one out. "I'm not sure who else is there."

"That's okay!" Feliciana replied. She turned to her brother as the man walked closer to see everything. "Do you know what this means?"

Lovino shook his head. "I can't read your mind stupido."

"We can get jobs! Good ones! They might need maids and servants!" Feliciana said excitedly.


Hello everyone! I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for #1) the short chapter and #2) Not updating for so long.

I have a good reason for the 2nd thing. School and I've just been really depressed so I often times just don't wanna do anything but sleep or just disappear.

But enough of my depression.
