Sorry for the long wait. I am starting a social year in September and I needed to get some papers ready.
I really need an BETA READER so maybe you are willing to help me? As I am from Germany and just graduated High School my English isn´t the best.
Here is the third chapter of this fanfiction.
A big thank to Grace F for the review.
My loving family
My friends who are my family
It's been so long since I've seen them
We always say, let's grab a bite to eat
It wouldn't be bad if I got some free time for once
Then I wouldn't be so lonely right now
This song is almost over
But there's still a lot I haven't said
Everyone probably feels the same
Look forward to the melody you liked
The voice that will flow out of the radio
The only thing I can do
Is to sing the lyrics of this song
Even if things are hard
It's ok, it's ok, it's ok
Everything will be ok
I believe in you
BTOB – IT'S OKAY
Chapter 3 – A father's love is the greatest gift to a lonely daughter
Mike really loved daughter and one reason was that she was and will always be his only child. Fathers are known to protect their daughters with everything they have but sadly this can´t be said for all of them.
Just like there a good and bad people there are good and bad fathers.
In her old life Elisabeth experienced a father who wasn't as good to her as he should been but regardless who the young girl told this to they only knew the good, proper and hard working man her father was in public. Nobody ever believed her and someone called her an attention seeking brat and hit her. She had been ten years old when this happened and the woman who slapped her was a total stranger but the mother of a classmate.
Now everything was going to be different in Elli´s life although she didn't even know it yet.
Green eyes were staring at a wall painted in a soft sky blue. These eyes were still slightly clouded by sleep but were looking around the room full of wonder. The girl to whom these brilliant green orbs belong to was lying on a soft mattress.
It was like being in heaven and blue seemed to be the most frequently used colour.
Only after she had sat up Elisabeth was able to see the full extent of this room. Never had the young woman seen something so beautiful in real life before. One could not really count the ads from television and various magazines.
This room was something Kimberly would have been jealous of.
"My ´beloved´ sister would surely say something like "You don't deserve this. It has to be made for me. Nobody would ever let you use this room." Well that seems to be over now." Elli muttered to herself with the first real smile on her fair face after a long long time just pretending to be happy.
The events of last night still confused Elisabeth extremely. It was not easy to understand what happened. Although she couldn't deny it even if she wanted to. But the bigger question was how it happened. Especially how someone could survive after experiencing such a near death experience like what happened to her last night.
The once again seventeen year old was softly laughing to herself. Just last night she had been as close to death as one could ever get. Nobody should have been able to live after such an experience but Elli still not knowing how had done it. It was a true miracle. Saved from death after your sister tried and almost succeeded in killing you and waking up screaming in a place completely different.
In order to find out more about where she was and what the man from last night meant with "the funny kid named Conan Edogawa" the teenage girl had to get up from the comfy bed.
That man apparently is the father of … this body? Me?
Whether or not this was true there were things a bit more important at the moment. The matter of relationships had to wait till later. Above all Elisabeth needed to find out where the hell she was.
The man had to be joking about the kid he allegedly met.
THIS WASN'T A FANFICTION where somebody just wishes to live in an anime world and gets transported to the fictional world. Next would be falling in love with the lead character…
AS IF…
Of course she had a dream like this too. That was something the young woman couldn't deny. But almost every fan would like to meet the characters of their favourite book, movie or anime….
It is known that eventually everybody has to grow up but who said someone had to give up on a childhood dream or stop loving anime?
NOBODY
After all to some it is a lifestyle and not just a temporary phase.
That's why in the back of her mind Elli still was hoping to find out that she was in fact in her favourite anime. One could always dream...
If only Elisabeth knew that she had in fact been granted her dream by the lady of fate. That she had been given the chance to start a new life in a whole new world.
In another room in the same lovely furnished house sat a man with big dreams.
Just yesterday his life changed completely after a big decision for the benefit of his beloved daughter. Now he was in a completely new country which his family had visited for the last time almost twelve years ago. Japan was clearly different from America, everyone knew that.
Mike looked forward to exploring this big country he knew so little about. Fortunately both Elli and he spoke fluent Japanese. Otherwise this new life could very well be a big disaster just waiting to happen. Thanks to Elisabeth's Japanese-descended mother the little girl was brought up bilingually and had if you could say it like this two mother tongues.
Carefully Mike put his feet on the parquet floor as not to wake up his daughter who could be still asleep. Although Elli normally didn't sleep so long. As the teenager had been plagued by gruesome nightmares since the incident almost every night and thus hardly slept through a night, her father gave her the chance to sleep as long as possible. Well, if the daily schedules allowed it and today was such a day.
And even if is daughter was awake he didn't want to bother his seventeen year old girl in the morning.
The long flight yesterday was exhausting for both members of this small family.
In the kitchen the more than forty year old was lost in his thoughts wondering what to make for breakfast. The fridge was filled because the father had taken care of that last evening.
As so often the decision fell to toast since Mike wasn't much of a cook although simple things were easy enough for him. Elli would forgive him. She always did...
When his wife was still alive his little baby girl would have laughed at him and called for her mom to help.
How he missed those times where his family home was still filled with the laugher of a little child. Even though they were over Mike tightly held on the memories still not giving up on the dreams of his daughter laughing again.
The first step was already taken with the move to Japan.
"Dad?" a quiet voice asked softly. Green eyes were looking at the man sitting at the made kitchen table reading a newspaper and apparently waiting for her.
He should have already eaten.
With the pain still showing in her eyes clearly the once again seventeen year old watched his eyes brighten up after hearing her voice before widening again.
"Elli, love, are you alright?" Mike was deeply concerned after seeing the pain in his daughter's eyes.
Elisabeth smiled a tiny smile and said: "Don't worry I had a hard night. It was like experiencing everything again. Although I knew it was just a nightmare it still felt horrible."
Her eyes down cast the girl almost whispered: "Did I keep you up? If so I'm very sorry…"
"Don't say something like this love!" Mike exclaimed yet he knew that she always thought she was bothering him. "You know that I would do anything for you. Don't you?"
Her silence war also an answer.
What, what, what're you dreaming?
Tell me everything you wanted, everything you forgot about
What are you dreaming?
Will I be able to find it? The Neverland of fairy tales?
As much as I've grown taller, my dreams grew smaller
Catch a falling star! Catch a falling star! Catch a falling star!
I prayed that I wanted to become an adult
I rushed too much because I thought I could do something
I spilled the happiness away, I lost love
Did I not stop and only ran forward?
Catch a falling
You don't know that freedom
I am losing myself, even though I have more to do
Only worries increase, only greed gets bigger
As if I have the whole world by just owning a picture card
Have I forgotten those nights when I fell asleep with a fluttering heart?
FT ISLAND – falling star
Mike sighed.
On the one hand he knew that he had to work hard to make his daughter smile again, on the other hand he also knew that she needed her own time to get used to the changes too. Today was just the first day and many others would follow. Hopefully they were days filled with happy laughter.
With gestures the father told his daughter to sit down at the breakfast table "You have to eat something, whether you like it or not. Remember what the doctor had said. You cannot lose any more weight."
Another tiny smile on her face.
He cares…He really cares about me…
Mike was already delighted after seeing these two little smiles in this early morning.
Breakfast did not last long.
In order to prevent that an awkward silence could arise between them Mike told Elli of what he intended to do with her today.
"I thought we can start exploring the neighbourhood and introduce ourselfs to the people we encounter. I hope both you and I can make new friends here. This neighbourhood sounded good to me after I was able to find out that some young people about your age are living near. Maybe you are able to get along with them and hopefully make friends."
Friends? When did I last have true friends? In my old life I´m sure there was no one I really could call a true friend. However in the life I seem to be living now I had some friends like this before my mother was killed. Even if it was my own fault I lost them after this incident. Both lives aren't wonderful.
In my old life, my family did not care about me and my little sister hated me so much that she was going to kill me. But now in my new life, it was my own fault that I was alone. Even though I have a loving Father I made the decision to distance myself from the world around me on my own.
In my old life I was proud and fought against those who were against me. But I was too proud and didn't let anybody help with my problems after several bad experiences in my childhood but I also detested those who didn't want to help me. I was lonely but refused to acknowledge this fact.
In my new life I thought I wasn't worthy of help and that it was better for the world if I just disappear. My mind was set on giving my wonderful father a chance of a new life without the burden that was me. I was willing to go to make dads life better. Not knowing it would have destroyed him to see me dead I wanted to leave this world forever.
In my old life there were people jealous of me. They were jealous of my looks, my grades and of my wealth. All those people didn't know my real life. They didn't accept that my proper family would treat me the way they did. They only knew the mask I was willing to show them.
In my new life people around my family pitied me. They even pitied my dad because he had a depressing daughter like me. So many people wanted to help but I pushed them away and didn't let them. I was swimming in darkness without a dream. I didn't have the will to live anymore.
In my old life I was killed.
In my new life I almost killed myself.
I vanished from my old life and woke up in my new life.
And now
I will do the best in this new life.
I will change myself.
I will be a better person.
I WILL LIVE!
