Rum POV

While waiting in the last class of the day, all I could do was stare at the clock. It was a Friday, but it was also the Friday school got out for Spring Break.

3:44, only one more minute! Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up! Why does time seem to slow down at school? 3:4 - My thoughts were cut off by the bell ringing; it was finally 3:45 p.m.

I waited for the rush of the kids in my class to leave and talked with one of my only friends in that class as they did so. Then I said my farewells and wished her a great Spring Break. I was out of there. I stopped by my locker and dropped off everything that I wasn't going to need over Spring Break, which was pretty much, everything. I headed out of the school and started the walk home. While walking out of the school, I popped my ear buds to my iPod in. The first song to play was Teenagers by My Chemical Romance. The walk being no more than 15 minutes long, I got to listen to Scars by Papa Roach, A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton, and Don't Jump by Tokio Hotel on top of the My Chemical Romance song. I finally arrived at my house that I shared with my sister Sake. It's a two-story house with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. It also features kitchen which I rule supreme in, since my sister can't really cook while I can. The living room and the dining room are pretty much the same thing - I rule. Then there is the library. It takes up the majority of the second floor and has one available bedroom next to it, which is mine. Each bedroom has its own full bath. The other two bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms are on the first floor. Sake has the biggest bedroom on the first floor. Then there's the guest bedroom, which just so happens to be the smallest room in the house overall. That's just fine, though, since we don't have very many guests who stay the night. I took out my ear buds while I walked up the two steps to the porch. I crossed the porch and opened the front door and walked in, kicking the door shut behind me as I took off my bag and tossed it to the side.

"I'm home! Spring Break has started!" I yelled.

"Was it really necessary for you to yell that at the top of your lungs?" Saké asked, coming into view.

"I did not yell it at the top of my lungs, thank you very much. But I can if you would like me to," I replied with a smile

"No thank you, I would rather keep my hearing," she replied, sighing.

Saké POV

I was just walking down the stairs from the library when I heard the front door open and shut and a thud. I assumed the noise was Rum's bag. Then I heard Rum yell that she was home as I walked in the room. I leaned against the wall with a book in my hands.

"Was it necessary for you to yell that at the top of your lungs?" I asked.

She really has no idea how loud she can be without even trying and its going to make me go deaf before I'm 30, I thought with an ever-so-slightly fond smile.

"I did not yell it at the top of my lungs, thank you very much. But I can if you would like me to." Rum replied with a grin.

If I could do an anime sweat drop, I would most likely be doing it right now.

"No thank you, I would rather keep my hearing," I replied while pushing myself off the wall, sighing, and started walking towards the kitchen with Rum following me "Have a good day at school?"

"It was just dandy! That project we had to do, we had to play as well. It sucked. Mine, in all honesty, was supposed to be colorful but thankfully, from the looks of it, my teacher was just checking to see if we did it," Rum said, relief in her tone.

"Well, at least you passed it. Oh, Hera said we could come over tonight for a sleep over," I told her.

"Sweet! Can we head to the public library first? I want to see if they got any interesting books I want to read," she inquired.

"I don't see why not. Plus, I have some books to return. We can leave at -" I glanced at the clock, which read 3:55 p.m. "- 4:20. Grab a snack and go pack your bag, after that we can start walking to the library," I replied.

"Sounds like a plan!" Rum exclaimed.

Rum POV

I headed out of the kitchen after grabbing an apple and a pear (two of my favorite fruits). I went up to my room. As I walked in, I noted that this room just screams me. Black with a mixture of neon colors (except for pink, of course), band Posters up on my walls, a miniature bookshelf full of miscellaneous books and spiral notebooks full of facts and notes, my computer desk in the corner of the room with my laptop and my roller chair, with my bed pushed against the other wall. I started eating the pear I grabbed and untying my black combat boots and taking them off. I walked towards my closet and pulled out my red and black plaid backpack, grabbed two shirts out of my closet and walked over to my dresser to grab my red skinny jeans, not to mention my jean shorts for pajama bottoms. I walked to my bathroom grabbed my deodorant, also grabbing my toothbrush and toothpaste before putting them in to my backpack along with my clothes. I then grabbed my hairbrush to put in my bag. I sat down and finished my pear before eating my apple. I changed out of my current outfit into black shorts and a black tank top that had "Crazy Girl" printed in neon green. I attached my (also) neon green suspenders to my shorts and put my boots back on. While thinking about socks, I got up and grabbed a pair and a few other things from my dresser to put in my bag. I grabbed my iPod from my pants that I just took off and put it in my shorts pocket. Then, I zipped up my bag and I then walked out of my bedroom, shutting the door behind me, and went down the stairs. Halfway down the stairs, I dropped my bag and run back to my room and grabbed my favorite hat, a black baseball cap with the words "DJ Hero" in white on the side. I put my bag down next to the couch, then went to my school bag and grabbed my wallet before running to throw away my apple and pear cores, returning to the living room afterward and sitting down on the couch. I checked the clock and saw that it was five minutes before we left.

"Sis, I'm done!" I shouted, alerting her.

Saké POV

After Rum left the kitchen to pack, I turned and left to walk towards my room. I opened the door and walked, making sure to shut it behind me. My bedroom shows what I like to do in my spare time. In a corner of the room, there is a high-tech computer system that I use for gaming. My bed is up against one of the walls. Instead of a central main light source in the middle of the room, there are lights in the four corners of the room to cause a dim lighting effect. Three bookshelves are next to the computer against the wall, which are filled with books on gaming and computers. The walls are painted a deep purple and the floor was made of hardwood.

Where did I put those books? I thought to myself as I looked around. I turned my attention to where my computer was and luckily spot it. After picking it up, I went to my closet and grabbed one of my favorite purple and black plaid backpacks. I walked over to my dresser and grabbed socks and a few other things out of the top drawer. From my t-shirt drawer, I grabbed a black shirt and a dark purple t-shirt for pajama tops and from the pants drawer I grabbed a pair of black slacks and some black sweatpants for my pajama bottoms. I then walked over and grabbed my books, iPod, and wallet to throw into my bag. I headed over to the bathroom and grabbed my toothbrush, toothpaste, and deodorant and put it into the backpack. I walked over to wear I have all my shoes and slid on my favorite pair of black flats then I grabbed my black and purple plaid fedora as I walked out of my room and shutting the door behind me. I walked to the living room and saw Rum sitting on the couch.

"Take it you're done?" Rum asked.

"No, I just look like I'm done," I replied while rolling my eyes.

"Your sarcasm has been noted," she replied dryly.

I turned and looked at the clock. Damn, it was already 4:20. Looks like I got done in the nick of time.

"Well, you ready?" I asked.

"Yes, I have been done for about 5 minutes now. Didn't you hear me yell that I was done?" she wondered.

"Oh, so that's what you were yelling about. The walls muffled the sound of your voice," I said

"Oh, so that's the excuse you're going to use: 'the walls muffled the sound'. Can't you get a new one?" Rum asked, annoyance flooding her voice.

"No, I'm quite found of using that excuse. Grab your stuff and let's start the walk towards the library," I replied with a grin.

With that being said, Rum grabbed her stuff and grabbed her neon green jacket from off the back of the couch, tossing me my black jacket as we headed out the door. I stopped and grabbed my keys out of my wallet, inserting them into the lock.

"Hurry up, I want to get to the library!" Rum yelled.

"Patience is a virtue, dear sister. Learn it - you'll live longer in life," I said, walking down to where she was at before I began walking.

"Patience is a virtue I will never have. I will live a short life," she replied while catching up with me.

"Have you watched anymore One Piece from where you left off? You know, from like a month-and-a-half ago?" I asked, looking over at her.

"Um, kind of," she answered. "I moved up 5 episodes from where I was at."

Rum POV

When I told my sister how far I had gotten with One Piece, I swear she deadpanned.

"You surprise me," Saké said, tone flat.

"I surprise everyone!" I exclaimed happily, teasing her.

Saké then decided that was a good moment to slap the back of my head.

"Ow! That hurt!" I shouted, rubbing my head.

"Good," she replied (what a mean sister I have!) without looking at me.

We walked on for another good fifteen minutes. There was a library downtown but the selection wasn't all that good, so we preferred putting in the extra walking time to get to the library that had better selection.

"Finally, the library," Saké announced.

"Even though it's not an extremely long walk, it seems like forever to get from home to here," I mentioned as we walked in. Sake stopped right inside the front doors and looked up at the clock.

"Okay, so its 4:55 right now. I say we leave at about 5:25; sound good to you?" Saké asked.

"Sounds good to me, that's more than enough time. Do we meet back up? Are you going to find me, or am I going to find you?" I inquired.

"I'll come find you. You won't be that hard to locate," Saké said, beginning to walk away.

And with that we went our separate ways in the library. When I was walking back to one of the sections, my mind started thinking about the Vashta Nerada, which is a pretty scary monster, even in the show Doctor Who. I mean, it is an invisible swarm of piranhas that can, you know, turn off the lights and then eat you. I shook my head. The episode where the Doctor and Donna were in the library has forever changed my view of libraries.

I need to get a life. Well one that doesn't involve to much obsessive qualities over things, I thought with a shrug. I then grabbed a book off one of the shelves - a volume of One Piece - and found a chair before reading it.

Saké POV

After browsing the different sections I like, I finally decided to go to the manga section in the library. I walked to the other side of the library and saw my sister.

"Hey," I said while grabbing a random volume of One Piece and sitting in the chair opposite of her. She looked up.

"Hey, hey," Rum replied, grinning. She smiled even wider when she saw when she saw what I had chosen.

We sat in silence reading for a little while. I heard someone coming our way. We both looked up at the same time, although I barely noticed it until I felt Rum's eyes on me. After making eye contact, I looked back. There was a lady standing off to the side of where we were sitting. She was a little bit taller than I, she had a slight tan, and her eyes were, well, strange. Her right eye was green and her left eye was purple. They looked like they were glowing. She was a very pretty woman. She was wearing a simple white dress. She smiled at us. The smile was a smile that you would give someone you know.

"Hello, ma'am," Rum and I said at the same time.

"Hello. Look at how you have grown," she said with the smile on her face.

"Um, do we know you?" I asked.

"Yes, but that is not important at this moment. I have come to let you know that it is time for you to return," the woman stated.

"Return where?" Rum asked, shifting.

"Return to where you truly belong," she replied simply. With that, she turned and disappeared in the rows of bookshelves. Both Rum and I put down the manga we held and shot up to follow her. But the moment we were at the opening of the isle she disappeared behind, she was gone. Just gone, poof, like she was never there to begin with.

"That was odd," I noted.

"Odd? Odd is the best you can come up with?! That was fucking weird," Rum whispered loudly.

I just sighed, shaking my head. I looked at my watch.

"It's 5:20 right now. Do you want to go ahead and head towards Hera's house?" I asked, changing the subject.

Rum POV

"Sure," I replied with a shrug. We walked back to where our stuff was.

"Alright, grab your bag and let's go," Saké said while grabbing her stuff and putting the manga back on the bookshelf, staring to walk towards the entrance of the library.

"Alright," I said, walking over to my bag and putting it on. I also picked up the manga before putting it back, hurrying to catch up to her once I was done..

"You could have waited for me," I whined, a pout on my face.

"If I did, where would all the fun be of seeing you pout?" Saké taunted with a smirk and glanced at me out of the corner of her eye.

I just glared at her, sticking my tongue out.

"Very mature," she drawled.

"Thank you, I try. Hey, can we take the shortcut through the woods?" I asked, stopping right outside the library, looking at the woods that were located right behind the building.

"Sure, I don't see why not," my sister replied with a shrug before changing direction to head into the woods.

"Yes!" I exclaimed while doing a fist pump.

I saw Sake shaking her head while I caught up with her. We got into the woods and were about five minutes in, and Sake and I both being our graceful selves, we both tripped and fell forward. There was like, a black hole in front of us, so instead of hitting the ground we kept falling. I turned and looked at Sake.

"How the Hell are we still falling?!" I asked, panicking.

"How the Hell am I supposed to know, clearly we fell through a portal!" she shouted back.

Suddenly there was blue – very blue - water. We started screaming bloody murder.

Shit, we can't swim. We are free falling towards water and we can't swim. We are so fucking screwed.

Then right before we hit the water I blacked out I don't know what Sake did.

Saké POV

Holy shit! We fell through a portal. Holy shit, we are falling… How the hell is this going to end?!

Out of nowhere we were free falling above a vast ocean and I looked down and started screaming with Rum. There was water, a huge fucking ocean below us. We can't swim. We are screwed. So beyond screwed! Then I heard Rum stop screaming and then I blacked out right before I hit the water.

When we hit the water, there was a sub rising out of the water. We happened to land on the deck when it fully rose out of the ocean.
