Chapter 3

Huhu.

Here is the next chapter of „Twin Theory" :)

I'm gonna keep the A/N short because the review answers are going to be longer than usual 'drop'

Translations of the titles nr. 1-3 (nr.4 end of the chapter)

„Prolog" prologue

„Teufel klopfen nicht" Devils don't knock

„Erwachen" awakening

(You see: the titels are pretty simple only in an other language :) so they always seem to be better than they are ;-) ... but since they continue some spoilers I guess I'm gonna post the translation at the end of each chapter (or even better in the following chapter... have to think about that...))

Dragoon-Yue:

Thank you a lot! :) and no, I don't have any problems to accept help with my spelling and grammar because I know that I still make many mistakes. I'm actually very gradefull because I guess without your corrections it would be way harder for other readers to understand what I wanna say :)

One thing I have to admit is that my vocabulary in the English language is not as big as it seems since I use the dictionary a lot whenever I write a chapter. It's like I totally know what I wanna say next and which German word I need and then I look it up in a dictionary, but I can't see which „level" the translation has :( And sometimes the translator show a meaning which is (in theory) right but most native speakers would say „There is no way! It actually means ..."

You see: I really need reviews like your's :)))

PaCT:

Hi and welcome to my story :) and thanks for all 3 reviews 'happy-author'

Your first thought was right (guess I should have put a „--" between this two parts). And the 'he' is Joshua and the feet belong to Maggie :) Next two points: find it out by reading the next chapters :) .

Jup my native language is German and I posted the translation below.

I like people who ask questions 'cause you never run out of things to talk about :)

When I start a chapter I first of all answer to the rewires I received for the last chapter, that brings me in the mood to keep on writing :))

LET'S START!

Joshua didn't even realize that his legs failed to hold his weigh any longer but his reflexes remembered the long hours of training in order to sharpen them.

That's why the falling pitcher made a loud „klirr" when his hands tried to avoid a painful landing of the body on the floor, by simply holding on to something.

Maggie clutched her mothers hand quickly when she heared the loud sound coming from the hallway.

Azamira quickly masked her own worried expression and turned to her little girl.

„Sh... Sh... it's ok Honey, just keep eating your oatmeal or it's gonna rain tomorrow."

Maggie didn't quite see how her breakfast should let it rain tomorrow but on the other hand... There was no way she would give the rain any chance at all to cross the plan of her Daddy building a kite with her tomorrow.

Azmaria observed with a warm smile how the little one furrowed her brows and shrugged her small shoulders afterwards.

When she was sure Maggie was occupied while imagining her soon to build kite she rose from her chair and went into the hallway.

When she turned to the right she noticed this feeling she just couldn't phrase and she always had it whenever 'he' was around.This guy just gave her the chills.

She was just right because just around the corner she saw the strange man in his usual white lab coat, his arms folded and his face pointed to the floor while he rubbed his glasses a cloth.

When he looked at her she stopped in her track and noticed a slight shake of his head. No.

„ Good morning Mrs. Christopher. You should go back into the living room." he said in a voice that was just more than a wisper.

„But I..." started Azmaria when she was hit with his glare which gave her the same feelings as if he had just yelled at her. Suddenly she felt like she was back at the casino hiding in the storageroom.

„There is nothing you can do for your husband or the patient. He'll have to deal with this on his own or he's never going to face the situation." he said.

„Oh, and why don't you play with young Ms. Christopher? She should be finished with her meal by now." There was no doubt he just closed the conversation.

Confused she nodded and returned to the mainroom where she found comfort by hugging her giggling daughter. Afterwards she cleaned off the plates and waited for the tiniest sigh of her beloved. All the time wondering when this house would be just 'normal' again – exspecially without that particular man.

Said man calmly returned to clean his glasses.

Somewhere in his mind Joshua noticed hushed voices in the hall but he was to occupied with the situation at hand to concentrate on them.

While his mind tried to tell him to run as fast as he could. Totally in vain.

Because his heard told him to say and take responsibility for his sister just as she did for him all these years ago, as a mere child.

He took a deep breath and stood up. As soon as he looked at her face again he felt helpless and... guilty for his own weekness.

He remembered the expression on the face of his daughter during her first tornado and the way they calmed her down with calming words and all of the protection, comfort and warmth a parents body can offer.

At this moment his parental instincts kicked in and suddenly he felt he could handle the situation at leased a little better.

Since he didn't want to force her into an embrace - even though he couldn't think of anything else that would have calmed himself down better right now – he grapped the nearby chair by the desk and sat down.

„Sh... Sh... Please calm down. You are safe here, don't be afraid." he said in the same calming voice he choose whenever Maggie had had an other nightmare.

He smiled relieved when he noticed her relax a little and continued.

„My name is Joshua." he paused to give her time to memorize it, „And your name is Rosette."

She moved her lips to „feel" the sound of it and even managed to whisper some parts of the name she was just given.

Joshuas smile grew even bigger.

„Are you thirsty?" he asked.

She nodded slightly and tried to sit up a bit, but failed.

He poured a glass with water from the jug on the desk and went to her bedside while he carefully avoided to step on one of the porcelain shards.

While she began an other attempt to move into a more upright position she noticed several tubes entering her body.

By the time Joshua noticed her pulling slightly on the IV he rushed to her side dropped the glass onto the nightstand and took her hand in his own.

„No!" he shouted.

Her eyes narrowed and she half cowered her had a bit.

As soon as he noticed this he mentally wished to shoot himself.

„Hey, hey, it's ok, I'm sorry Rosette, I didn't mean to be so harsh." her face relaxed when she didn't only heard his words but also saw them in his eyes.

Joshua smiled happily.

„Good, please listen to me. I'll arrange for this tubes to be removes properly to be removed but please don't try to remove them again. Okay, Rosette?"

She cocked her head slightly and nodded eventually.

„Good, here drink this." he helped her to sit up and handed her the glass.

The sun shone brightly and the wind moved the curtains in a slow hypnotic manner.

Joshua smiled blissfully as he watched over her sleeping form, holding her hand after she had fallen asleep very soon after he had given her the calmative. He held the skinny fingers carefully and stroke them as if to give them the strength back they once possessed.

As soon as he entered the mainroom his very exited daughter ran up to him. Before she could even start to tell him all of the things she planned for her kite he lifted her up and spinned her around laughing happily.

Ok, an other chapter done and Mom thinks I did lots of math exercises 'drop' well, I still have one week left until school starts (six weeks ain't enough T-T)

Please review!!

Oh, yeah, the translation for this chapter titel:
