(A/N: Vicky) Okay, I, Vicky, am giving my thanks out to the readers who have read mine and my sisters story. Thank you so much on your comments. They make our day! Anyway, we're planning on dishing out more chapter's than the random stop we did after the preface. We know that wasn't cool on our part, right?

I sure hate it when people don't update a great story. Am I a hypocrite? I'm sure if my sister was here, she'd say that we both are.

Anyways, here is chapter two, officially.

The BOTH of us hope you enjoy!!

The footsteps grew louder and louder with each passing second. My heart best grew faster and I though that the person could have heard it if they were listening hard enough. The person was only a few feet away when they stopped. I couldn't see then... no, him. The figure was clearly a male, a young male at that. Maybe around my age? One of the things that was obvious and noticeable from where I was sitting was his long hair that was neatly braided. Wow, I wish my hair was that long. He almost had my sisters hair!

Totally forgetting about my wounded arm, I moved. Automatically, I gasped and grabbed my arm. Falling back against the bricks and panting. The pain was getting worse.

The boy turned in my direction and slowly walked toward my hiding spot. I had no other choice than to face the stranger. And as he grew nearer, I gripped the metal tighter with my left hand and got ready. I was right landed, so this was going to be hard.

He was almost directly in front of me when I closed my eyes tight and launched out, swinging the crowbar towards his head.

I thought I had made contact, but I opened my eyes to see that he had caught my makeshift weapon with his bare hands. He had caught it right in time, too. My knees buckled under me as he pulled it from my bloody hands and threw it behind him to the ground.

No, how did he do that? It's over. It's all over. I'm sorry Joshua... Victoria. I thought as my legs finally gave out and I crumpled to the ground with a wince.

The boy stepped closer and I closed my eyes. I heard him squat down and he then touched my right shoulder just hard enough for me to scream and twitch on the ground.

"Wow, they were determined to get you, huh?" He more said to himself, than to me.

I was scared shitless, so I didn't say anything. I just sat there trembling with my eyes closed, trying to make a plan to get away. I'm such a coward. But, I could always kick him where the sun don't shine. I know it was low, but it was a girls only advantage, right?

"Hey, it's alright. I'm not gonna hurt you, miss." He assured me.

I felt so helpless. All I could do was look up and stare at him. He was soaked from head to toe. It was a good thing it was still raining, or he would have seen me crying. He was wearing tight, dark wash jeans, a denim coat and a simple red t-shirt. His brown hair was in a tight braid, leading down his back. Just like I though. It reminded me too much of my sisters long hair.

Ugh, my eye were getting blurry from the blood loss and I began to sway a little. He grabbed hold of my left shoulder to I wouldn't completely be laying on the ground. Not that it would matter anyways.

"I better get you out of here." He said in a rush. He was looking around as if danger was nearby.

The last thing I saw was his indigo eyes.

And then darkness fell upon me and my helpless form of who used to be called Vanessa Opal Orchard.

-x-x-x-

"Vanny, where are you, sis?"

I heard my name being called from somewhere, but I couldn't pinpoint where exactly.

"Vanny," The voice called again, obviously female. "Where are you!? I can't find you and I have a bad feeling!"

The voice whined a little and I heard footsteps.

The black faded from my eyes as the steps grew louder. I could now see a crowded Tokyo street. Then, I saw her.

"VICKY!"

My sister was wandering the street, calling my name. She looked exactly as I remembered her. Her long, light brown hair trailed down her back like a river. And as the breeze picked up, her bangs flopped around, covering her neon green eyes at times.

"Vanny?"

She wore straight-legged jeans and a tight black and silver top with a deep V-neck, exposing a red undershirt. As she lifted her painted nails to her mouth to call again, her many silver bangles jingled a happy tune that the wind brought to my ears.

She grew closer, and as I continued to stare at her, she tripped. She was always clumsy. The funny thing was, she was only that way in flat shoes, and when she was in heels, she was as steady as a runway model during the Winter/Fall Collection. So, she was obviously wearing her green/red/blue/black graffiti converse with the rainbow shoelaces.

I laughed to myself and ran towards her. She obviously didn't hear me call to her. And as I went to hug her, I flew right through her. Like she was a ghost or something.

"Vicky?" I got up close to her face and peered into her bright emerald eyes. "Victoria? Can't you see me, sis?" I asked as I waved my hands in her face.

"Vanny!?" She called again and walked right past me.

She couldn't see me... oh my gosh! She couldn't see me! How in hells name could this be? I'm pretty sure I was there experiencing this with my own body.

I followed Vicky past a mirror shop and looked into one of the vintage glass frames. There was no reflection. Great. This is just fantastic.

"This is obviously a dream." I sighed. "But I'm curios as to what will happen."

I ran to catch up with my twin and was content on being near her. She always had a happy atmosphere around her. She was always smiling and joking. She had a great personality even when people around her were sad.

She had a talent for making smiles appear on sad face.

I admired that about her.

"Where are you, sis?"

I turned to Vicky to see her eyeliner smudging underneath her gorgeous eyes. Man, if she was crying in public, then she must really be desperate to find me. She never let her makeup get ruined around others. Her makeup was her pride.

"I know where Vanessa is, little lady."

Both of us sisters turned around at the same time to see a girl with bright, fiery red hair and cold blue eyes. She was dressed in a tight black skirt and suit top.

She was beautiful, but she wasn't one to be trusted. My gut told me.

"Umm, no thanks. I don't talk to strangers. Bad experiences. Sorry." Vicky said as she turned and started to walk down the walkway and toward a crosswalk.

"GO, VICKY!" I yelled to myself and ran after her. No way was any sister of mine stupid enough to fall for that.

"Miss, you don't understand, you must follow me. Your sister was shot and she is losing blood drastically. She needs a transfer or she'll be in peril soon enough."

Vicky's shoulders shook. Oh no, the redhead had gotten to her.

"Where is she at?"

"Right this way." The redhead walked the other way, with a smile on her face.

A smile?

Geez, Vicky, don't fall for this, please! I'm fine!

As Vicky started to follow, I whispered into her pierced ear. "Vicky, I'm fine. Please, believe me and hear me. Please."

Then, my twin suddenly stopped and looked around. "Okay. I believe you."

My blue eyes widened as she spoke. She heard me!! Oh my gosh!

"Vicky, my stomach says to not follow her. I'm fine. I'm closer than you think, but don't come find me just yet. When we need to meet back up, you'll know. Trust me, I'm not with her." I told my sister and smiled as I did so.

She nodded. "Umm, miss? I need to get back home, sorry!" Then, the brunette ran for the hills, with me close behind.

When we were on a less crowded street, she stopped running. She didn't even have one bead of sweat on her forehead. She was in track, but I didn't know she could run that long without panting.

"Vicky, where are you?" She asked. She couldn't see me, it seemed.

"I don't know where I am. It's like my soul isn't connected to my body at the moment." I sighed and walked with her. "Where are YOU?"

"Not anywhere near home, that's for sure."

Silence.

"I ran away, too."

Silence.

"WHAT!?" I screamed. Joshua is probably freaking right now.

"Yeah. I'm gonna go back to my hotel then if I can't find you right now. Stay safe."

"Hey, wait, don't go!" I shouted as she, and my vision, grew lesser and lesser.

The blackness grew around me again and I felt a wave of day ja'vu.

"Hey, wake up!" I heard somebody yelling at me.

I slowly opened my eyes to see a few figures hovering over me like I was the dissected frog on the high school lab table. Everybody wanted to see.

As my eye's adjusted to the light of the room, I could see that there were five men in the room.

"What happened and who are you?" Was the only thing that came out of my mouth.
