Chapter 4: Revelation

[Aria's Dream]

"Aria..." Rhode's voice called. "Can you hear me?"

"Rhode...?"

"ARIA!" Rhode run toward Aria. "Are you okay? Did those bloody bastards do anything to you?!" She twirls Aria around, looking for any signs of abuse.

"I'm okay. They didn't do anything." The background changed into a calm setting that matched to Rhode's mood.

"Are you sure you're okay? You didn't sleep so well a while ago."

"Yeah. It's okay now. I played poker just a while ago."

"With... who?"

"Allen. Allen Walker."

Rhode's eyes started to sparkle at the sound of the name.

"A-Allen?" She blushed."Never mind... Tyki's coming to tell you something."

"What something?"

"You'll know later..."

After some time, a blurry image of Tyki appeared in the middle of nowhere.

"Tyki!" Aria ran to him and gave him a hug.

"Hey, kiddo! I was hoping to play poker with you." He showed her his card deck that suddenly appeared from his hand. "I thought you won't sleep without playing." He smiled.

"It's okay. I played with Walker." She grabs the deck.

"Ah... the cheating boy." He ran his fingers through his black hair. "So, who won?"

"None the other," She smirked. Tyki just put his hand and pat her like a little kid. "I knew that..."

Rhode cleared her throat and gave Tyki the "tell-her-already" expression.

"Oh, yeah." He started and looked seriously at Aria's eyes. "Listen. We don't have much time but I have to tell you something about your background."

"What do you mean by 'background'?"

"Rhode... You're the eldest. You should be the one telling her this." Tyki gave an annoyed expression.

"It's too troublesome. If Earl founds out, he'll kill me." She sat down on a blob-like seat.

"Anyway... We better make this one quick." He sat down to the ground. "You see, when Earl took you in, he erased your memories. You can't remember anyone from your past, right?"

"Yeah..." Aria nodded, touching her forehead. She can still feel how much it hurt when Komui asked her about her past.

"It turns out that you had a twin. I don't know if he or she's still alive. Earl never told us about it. You two were thrown away by your parents because of your "abnormality". Then-"

"Wrong... You weren't thrown away by your parents..." Rhode suddenly speak up. "You were-" She stopped again. "We got to go. Until next time. Take care!"

"WAIT!" Too late. The two vanished and left Aria.

oOo

"RHODE!" She woke up from her dream.

Nope. No Rhode or Tyki. Just her in a small room deliriously thinking of what Tyki and Rhode just told her. She turns to a clock nearby and found out it was already 6 in the morning.

'It felt so quick...'

Aria sat up straight and paused to think. Her stomach started to grumble loudly.

'damn it... I'm so hungry...'

She dressed up and went downstairs to find the cafeteria. She can't remember well which turn was it. Allen just dragged her to any place yesterday to the cafeteria and they almost got lost twice.

'No! In times of hunger and thirst, you must not lose faith! Let your hunger guide your way to food!' She told herself.


Little Author's Notes:

I don't want to spoil it so much... but i think it's obvious now, right?

So, anyway... Aria met Rhode and Tyki in her dream leaving her clueless about her "twin" and definitely hungry.
