Chapter 1: Be careful vat you wish for
"Adelayde," I feel a hand shake my shoulder "Get up!"
I groan, "Five more minutes, Addison."
"But Layde, zed plane is about to land." He whines.
"Fine," I sighed as I rubbed my eyes. I stretched out my arms and legs. It took eleven hours by plane from San Francisco, California to our current location, Japan.
Addison engulfs me in a bear hug, "I can't wait to go to Mountain Fuji and see zed sakura trees..." He continues with excitment as I tune him out to look out the window. I decided to not tell him that we have seen cherry blossoms in Germany or the cherry blossoms haven't bloomed yet since it's the end of February. I didn't have the heart to ruin his excitement. The view from my window is absolutely breathtaking. The scene slowly disappears as the airport comes in sight.
"Welcome to Tokyo!" I hear the Captain speak over the intercom "We are now landing at the Narita Airport! Thank you for flying with us." He repeats the sentence in a few different languages. I could understand a few of them.
"Vat are ve going to do first, Vater?" Addison finally stopped bouncing off walls to ask my Vater, who was sitting next to my Mutter behind us. His arms still wrapped around me.
"Addison, ve still have a few trains to catch till ve get to Nagoya."
"Aw, man." Addison sighs
"Is zat vere Mt. Fuji is?" I ask while looking across the aisle at my Mutter.
She replies, "Ja, If zed veather is nice, ve might be able to climb zed mountain."
Addison cheers. I laugh at my twin's behavior and get my bag together.
My brother does not act like a child all the time. Sometimes he can really be serious. I wouldn't want to get in his way when he was playing fussbal. (Which is soccer in America) I'm the opposite. I have absolutely no hand eye-coordination and am very clumsy. I'm more of a music person. Although we both play piano, I also play the violin. My thoughts were interrupted by my brother pulling my arm out of my seat and off the plane.
"Vhat now, Vater?" My brother asks when we retrieve our entire luggage.
"Ve have to take ze JR NEX to Shinagawa vich vill take an hour. Zen take ze Tokaido Shinkansen Nozomi Train to Nagoya. Since it's only eight in zed morning, ve vill be zere in three hours. " Vater says before giving us his big warming smile. My dad has a type of smile that you just cannot help but smile back. At that time our rental car shows up and we put our stuff inside. It takes about thirty minutes to get to the Narita Train Station.
On the way to Shinagawa I sit next to my Vater. While, Addison and my mom sit across the aisle from us.
I sigh, "So, vat is it zis time?"
He gives me an eyebrow raise, "Vat are you talking about, meine Blume?
I smile at the childhood nickname before replying, "Zis trip to Japan." We just got back from a trip to America and now we are on another one! I really don't mind. It's interesting to see the landmarks of the different countries.
"I see. Ve vill only be here for a few days. Zere is a meeting zed day efter tomorrow zat I have to attend."
"Oh. Are ve allowed to go?"
"Ja! Of course!" My Vater exclaims with a smile.
I return a small smile. 'I love being with my family but I don't like those meetings. There's too many people. I've met some of them before. They all are from different countries so I always look up each country the person is from. Like this one guy who loves hamburgers who is from America. But I forgot his name. Oh well, maybe I could find a quiet place to read.' I think to myself. Before I knew it, we were at the Shinagawa Station.
While we are waiting in the line to travel to Nagoya, Addison pulls me away.
"LET'S GO TO ZED AQUARIUM!" Addison yells as I try to hide myself from the people staring our way.
"I guess ve could get zed next train zat leaves at 11" My Vater says as him and mom walk up to us.
Addison cheers and I smile softly. We all go through the entrance of the Aquarium.
"Schwester, look at zed turtles!" Addison blurts out while dragging me closer. I smiles at him before looking at the giant sea turtle.
I was looking at the jellyfish when I hear two red-headed boys laughing about how a blonde boy fell into the turtle area. Thinking it was Addison, and fearing the worst, I ran to the turtle cage. When I looked in to the exhibit, I saw a blonde boy, but with violet eyes instead of dark blue. He was a pretty handsome guy and he looks about my age. Knowing that I couldn't just leave him there helpless, I lead him to the wall below me.
It took him awhile, because he tripped and fell into water, but he finally got to me, I reached out and grabbed his 's too much for me to bring up myself, so I'm thankful when I see a strong arm grab the blonde's other hand. After getting up, the blonde lightly places a kiss on my hand. I look to the guy who helped and I actually had to look up just to see his face. "Zank you." I say in my quiet voice.
The guy replies, "Welcome." He has a deep baritone voice. When I turn back to the blonde he is still rambling on about how I'm his hero.
"Are you okay?" I ask the unknown man. After asking, I tilt my head down in embarrassment.
"Yes, I am fine. Thanks to you, Princess. I don't know where I would be without you! I am forever in your favor my dear." He hugs me. I'm not use to being hugged my anyone except my family so I freeze.
"There you are. Excuse me, Miss." A boy with black hair asks while pushing up his glasses. "Is he bothering you?" This guy is just as handsome as Blondie. He has onyx eyes instead of violet. I quietly sigh in relief that Glasses saved me from his stranger's death hugs.
I shake my head, "I'm glad your okay." I says as he releases me, which allows me to breathe. I look around, realizing the guy who helped me is gone.
"Please, at least join my friends and I! It's the least I can do for a beautiful girl like you. " The guy says while smiling and handing me a white rose that appeared out of nowhere. I give them both a small smile.
"I'm sorry." I say while shaking my head. I bow as an apology and out of respect.
"Before you go, I must know the name of my hero." The Blondie asks. I know better than give my name to strangers no matter how nice they seem so I give him my middle name.
"Kaede."
"Isn't that a guy's name?"
The glasses guy sighs, "I'm terribly sorry for his behavior. Tamaki, please, leave this women alone, we have to catch up with the group." His glasses cause a glare making it hard to tell what his eyes are saying. My Vater always told me to look at someone's eyes because its the window into their soul.
"When I find those twins, I'm going to kill them! Momma! Those shady twins locked me up!" Tamaki yells. 'I wonder if he means those two red-headed guys I saw. And who is momma?' I think to myself.
Thinking that's my cue to leave, I quietly slip away. But I still managed to hear the glasses guy say that Tamaki scared me away then he starts scolding the Blondie like he's a child. I don't have time to feel bad for the violet eyed guy before I find my family. I put the beautiful white rose in my hair.
"LAYDE! vere did you go?" Addison questions.
"Oh, just walking around." I reply as Addison wraps me in a big hug. We begin to walk through the Aquarium once again.
We were sitting at a table when my Vater's phone goes off. He gives us an apologizing look before raising from his seat and walking away to talk to whoever was on the phone.
When he returns my Mutter asks him who it was.
"Vell zed train ve were going to ride vas hijacked and Headquarters vas vondering if ve vere okay. Zere's vas no deaths but one had a gun." Headquarters is what we call the organization my father works for. I don't really know what he does but all I know is that he is a spy.
"It's a good thing ve vent here, instead." My look-on-the-brightside mother says.
"By vat? Zombies?" Addison asks. Sadly, he's serious. Why did the stupid American guy make him watch scary movies? I sighed.
My family looks at me, my mom asks, "Are you okay, dear?"
"Ja, I'm fine. I'm just glad ve're alive." I smile.
"You can zank God for zat." My Mutter said.
We leave the Aquarium and take our seats on the train. Sitting next to my brother, I decide to pull out my history book from my bag.
"Vater, vho vell be there?" He knows what I mean by this question. I'm not wanting to know the names of the people but from what country they are from.
After he gives me the information, I look up the countries. The only thing I like about these meetings is that I get to ask questions about the country the person is from. I have learned a lot at these meetings. I've never been inside of the meeting room. So my Mutter, Addison, and I have to wait outside until the party the Host person has afterwards. It's weird how I can remember what country each person is from but I can't remember names or faces. The only thing I know about these meetings, is that my dad has to attend them. It is a need for him, as a spy, to be at every meeting. So my family and I travel a lot. Sometimes it's just a few countries over but this year was the first year we actually left the continent.
"Mutter, could ve go to Mt. Fuji first?" I overhear by twin ask.
"Of course, sweetheart! Zed weather is clear today so ve can climb it." My Mutter answers.
'I love hiking and nature. When I finished all of my homework and when I had nothing else to do, I would hike in the woods behind our house. We own over fifty acres, but we don't have any farm animals. My family has a lot of money but less than some people. I can't wait till we hit those trails.' I think to myself with a smile on my face.
"What are you smiling about?" Addison asks in a serious tone. His seriousness only lasts for a few seconds before forming into a grin.
"I haven't been hiking in a while." I said.
"It von't be too long now. Ve vell be zere momentarily." My father tells us.
Thirty minutes later, my family and I take our bags into our hotel room. We managed to get two of the biggest rooms in this five-star hotel. My twin and I share a bed while our parents sleep in the room next to ours. This place also has a gym and a pool. After getting out stuff organized and the fight over the side of the bed has ended, we leave for Mt. Fuji.
"I'll beat you zere!" My brother yells behind his back as he takes off running to the mountain top.
I laugh as I take off after him, leaving our parents with shaking heads and smiles.
I don't know how long it took but I reached the top just when the sun starts setting. I smiled, thanking God for the beauty in front of me and that I remembered to pack my camera in my bag. Right after I took the picture, I hear someone huffing and gasping for air. I laugh once I see a face much like my own.
The only difference between our faces is our eyes. Although they are blue, my brother's eyes are a dark shade of blue than mine. It's hard to tell us apart except that my hair is a lot longer than his. People got us confused when we were younger. I was always mistaken for Addison instead of the other way around. Even if I wore a dress people would mix us up. Addison is taller than me, while he is 5'11, I'm only 5'6.
"How-huff-did you-deep breath- get here so fast?" Addison questions as he tries to retrieve his breath.
I shrug, "I'm use to hiking mountains."
Addison and I have time to ourselves, so I let my mind wander. 'I wonder what would happen if things were different. What if I wasn't a twin? What if I was in another family? What would we be doing now? I do love my family very much but I can't help but wonder. I love my life, but its boring. All I have is my family and Addison. Sometimes, I wonder if one day something amazing will happen and change everything?'
When the sun completely sets, my parents arrive. Surprisingly, we are the only people here. My Mutter, thinking ahead like she always does, brought a bag with a few blankets.
"People are not allowed here at zis time, but I managed to pull a few strings." My Vater says.
Addison and I tell him thank you and run up to hug him. We all sit down and watch the stars come out.
"Look a shooting star!" I exclaim.
"Make a vish, meine Blume!" My Vater says from his spot next to me.
I close my eyes and make a wish, 'I wish something could happen that changes everything.' I wish to myself. 'Maybe it's a stupid wish but change is a good thing, right?'
"Vat did you vish for, Layde?" Addison asks me.
"If I tell you zen it von't come true." I reply.
"I bet I can change zat." Addison said. I can hear the mischief in his voice. Addison gets up to his knees and starts tickling me.
"Addison-laughs-STOP!" I try to get out clearly but it fails. "Vater help!"
Instead of helping, my dad joins Addison and they both tickle me.
"PLEASE stop" I beg.
We hear a snap and someone yell in Japanese. Our laughter ends, instantly. We see black shadows moving in the treeline. I quickly wipe away the tears that formed because I was laughing too hard. We heard people step out but we can't see their faces. We didn't have to hear anything to know that they have surrounded question is, who is they?
"Hello again, Viktor." An Italian voice says in the dark. The moonlight hits his face, lightening the long scar on his right cheek. 'Again? Who is this guy? How does he know my dad?' I think to myself.
"Cattivo." My Father says with hate.
"Oh come on, don't b-eh like dat! You knew I was coming back! Are you not happy to see me, old friend? Lucky for me, you brought your family! Now no one will know what happened to you!" This guy, Cattivo, says.
"Leave us alone, Cattivo." My Vater replies as he gets up to stand in front of us. I am the closest one to my protective dad.
"You know I can't do dat, Vik. Get dem, boys!" Cattivo then shouts out orders in Italian and in Japanese.
I hear the sound of a knife sliding through skin and a grunt in pain.
"Vater!" I yell as loud as I have ever yelled before.
My dad falling to his knees was the last thing I saw before the moonlight disappears and everything goes completely black.
