Chapter two.

Elena's POV.

I woke up by someone throwing pebbles at my window, so cliché.

I put on a pair of bunny slippers and walked to the window, I saw a small figure there,mi already knew who it was so I opened up the window and whispered at him.

"Nick, it's two AM, what do you want."

"I have something to tell you." He whisper yelled back at me, I could see that he was smiling like the true idiot he was.

"Okay, I'm coming down. Just, don't wake the others."

I took a quick look in the mirror, my brown hair was in a messy braid, well about half of it was, I was wearing a blue t-shirt that used to belong to Nick, but I took it, and a pair of checkered blue pants.

It didn't exactly get better then that when I woke up less than a minute earlier.

I slid down the stairs and opened the door, making sure I didn't get caught.

"Hi." He grinned sheepishly at me, I saw that he was wearing jeans and one of the hoodies I got him for Christmas.

"Hi." I yawned at him, both of us sat down in the hammock on the porch.

"So what did you want to tell me?" I asked him as he took one of the comforters on the side of the hammock and draped both of us into it.

"They've found out the location like ten more of the missing kids. I can't believe that they haven't found us yet." He chuckled, no, he giggled, yep, that's Nick for you, a giggling Thomas/Ekaterina.

"Yeah, they should've. They think they deleted our memories or something." I sighed.

Everyone thought that we didn't remember that night 11 years ago, but both of us did.

"Do you know who they've found?" I asked Nick, trying to stifle a yawn, but failed miserably.

"Amanda, Josh, Arthur, Olivia, Luke, Hope, Adam, Lilly, Johnny and Juliet." He laughed at me since my yawn sounded like if a horse and a cow had a human baby who yawned like a mix up between them.

"Ok." I said and I guess I fell asleep sometime after that.

Zeke's POV

I woke up to silence, usually Nick should be making breakfast at this time since mom's at a science thing in Jamaica and dad's out training people in Italy.

I put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and walked into my brothers room, nobody there.

I ran down the stairs and into the kitchen since I expected to find him there, he wasn't there either. Then I finally realised that he was probably at Elena's house as always.

"Well bro, it's obvious you like the girl, and she likes you too. Believe me, she talks to Jamie about it all the time." I said to the empty house.

I walked to the house where Elena, Nixie, Jamie, Emma and Will Matthews had lived for as long as I could remember.

I found Nick and Elena sleeping in the hammock on the front porch, Nick's arms hanging on tightly to Elena. I couldn't help myself from taking out my phone to take a picture of them.

"Good morning, Zeke." A voice said to me from one of the windows on the second floor of the house.

"Morning, Emma." I waved at her with a big smile.

"Have you seen Elena today? She's not in her room." She asked me with worry in her voice.

"Yeah, she's sleeping." I laughed and glanced at the people who was beginning to wake up.

The front door opened a couple of minutes late and Emma revealed herself on the porch.

I signalled at her to come, she did and saw her daughter sleeping.

"How long will it take for those two to realise they like each other?" I whispered to her.

"I don't know, took 11 years for me to get together with the guy I liked when I were their age." She answered with a dreamy look in her eyes, like if she remembered something wonderful.

"Was it Will?" I asked her.

"No, I met Will when I were a bit older." She told me.

"Oh, then who was the guy?"

"His name was Casper, but I always called him C."

"How did you meet?"

"I don't remember, we knew each other from when we were three years old. He left when we were 14. I wonder where is now" she whispered the last part and I saw in her eyes that it was time to end that conversation.

"Zeke? What are you doing here?" Nick who apparently just woke up and still had his arms around Elena yawned.

"Well, I woke up to a completely empty house. Do you want me to tell mom and dad about how you left me in an unlocked house in the middle of the night?" I gave my brother an innocent smile.

"Oh, well then I guess I have to tell them about the experiment you did last night with orange soda and dad's training things." He smirked at me, I of course gasped at hearing that.

"You wouldn't!"

"I think we both know I would."

"Why don't we just wake sleeping Beauty over there up?" I asked Nick and Emma.

Both of them nodded, Emma and I marched into the kitchen to get a bowl of fruit salad with blueberries and grapes and then out again.

"Is that blueberries I smell?" Asked a now fully awake Elena with a big grin. She blushed when she saw that Nick still had his arms around her.

Nick immediately released her and she jumped away from him and ran inside the house.

She came back about five minutes later in a grey hoodie, light blue skinny jeans, black converse, her hair out in its usual long waves over her shoulders and of course her silver flower necklace.

"Mommy! We. Want. Pancakes!" The twins Nixie and Jamie screamed in unison, I didn't even notice they were there.

They were wearing matching clothes as always, black and white striped sweaters, light blue jeans, white hats, black converse and long curly brown hair.

"There's pancakes in the kitchen." Emma laughed when not only Nixie and Jamie, but also Nick, Elena and I ran into the kitchen. I grabbed the plate on which the syrup spelled "Zeke", they tasted just as delicious as always.

I noticed Nick and Elena sneaking glances at each other, but since they weren't doing it at the same time they thought the other one wasn't doing the same thing.

They're completely, ridiculous...

You're bound to go through that one day too you now.

No! Never!

"Zeke, who are you talking to?" Elena asked me with concern. Apparently I didn't just think that...

"What? I'm not talking to anyone."

"Hey guys, we've gotten invitations to a party this Friday. We're gonna go, you don't have a choice." Emma announced as soon as she got inside the house.

"So that means I can't spend time with Elle on Friday." Nick grumbled, annoyed that he wouldn't get to spend every minute of every day with Elena.

"Oh, you and Zeke will be attending as well." Emma told him and he immediately grinned, I however was not as happy, I didn't want to of the party.

Olivia's POV.

Am and Adam kept arguing the entire school day, because apparently he has all the same classes as us and lives next door from us.

When Adam tripped Am for about the tenth time since we got off the bus she had gotten enough.

Just when she had gotten one of her black converses off Josh yelled at us from our house.

"Am, Ollie, come in!"

"Okay." Amanda yelled then she glared at Adam.

"This isn't over, Amines." She told him in her best threatening voice.

"Wasn't even thinking that, Mandy. Bye Olivia, Mandy." He answered with a smirk plastered on his lips.

I grabbed Amanda's hand and ran in with her before she could get back at him.

"Read." Arth commanded me when we were inside and behind the now closed front door.

"Alright. Dear Olivia Katherine Grace Cahill, Luke Fiske Cahill, Hope Natalie Jane Cahill, Amanda Kabra, Joshua William Kabra, Arthur Saladin Kabra. You are invited to the annual Cahill Autumn Dance arranged by A Cahill, I Cahill, D Cahill and N Kabra. When? The 19th of September. Where? The mansion on Mari's Avenue. Dress? Formal." I read out loud to everyone.

There was another note behind that invitation, written on black paper with a red pen.

"Hi Ollie, Luke, Hope, Amanda, Josh and Arth, we really hope you can come to the dance. It would mean a lot to us to finally meet you. AC, IC, DC, NK."

There was also a packet with clothes, dresses for us girls and suits for the guys, I realised that was the formal wearing they wrote about.

"This is awesome, almost like christmas or someones birthday!" I shrieked, it was probably a little bit loud and childish, but that's kind of who I am.

"It is Ollie, it's my birthday." Amanda sighed.

"Yeah, yeah." I laughed at her.

Everyone seemed happy and the moment seemed pretty much perfect.

Little did I know that my life was about to change very soon.

Hi! So my internet finally works again and I had to rewrite the entire chapter since my laptop went on strike and deleated helf of my files on it...

Well I'm here now anyway and there's nothing wrong with my brain (that's why I was doing the brain imaginary), but that means I'll have to go to the hospital even more from now on to figure out why I've been having extreme head aces for the past year...

Just so you know, I've only written about a chapter about Nick and Elena and I'm already waiting for myself to write the moment when they'll realise they like each other. (I was like that with Emma and C too, and Adam and Amanda, and Olivia and Johnny (you'll se in the next chapter). Yeah, I get mentally attatched to my own characters, sue me for having feelings!)
