"Did you give your friend the directions?" After we had finished the shopping I had to do, Lili and I decided to get some food. Of course being the sweetheart that she was, I had to wear her down to get her to agree.

It wasn't anywhere big anyway. Just a family owned café down the road. This was a popular hangout for high schoolers in the winter and summer. It's a quaint little place. A hole in the wall you could say, metal patio tables sat outside under navy blue and white striped umbrellas. Inside was the same with flowering plants by the large bay windows.

"Yes she said she was right around the corner," Lili replied politely.

"That's good to hear," I laughed. We both ordered lemonades and sat outside under an umbrella.

Lili seemed like a good kid, though I kept getting this feeling like I knew her from somewhere; like she was shivering in the back of my mind. Though I would think I would remember meeting someone from another nation.

"Yeah and that her brother has good aim."

My eyes opened in a flash, I gripped the wire table so hard I swear, I almost bent the metal.

The voice was back.

"Well of course I'm back!" The voice shouted loudly in my brain. "Not like I have anywhere else to go."

"Elizabeta!" Lili's sudden call snapped me back to reality.

"Lili!" A flash of brown and green zipped by my left side and engulfed Lili in a tight embrace. "I'm so glad I found you!"

The new girl was roughly two to three years older than me; she had on a pure white summer dress under an army green cover up. Her honey brown hair was down though on the left side was a low side braid with an ivory flower pinned in towards the end.

Elizabeta was busy checking Lili over for any injuries as well as lightly scolding her. Though I couldn't really pay attention to what the two were saying. I had suddenly found myself not being able to sit still. My feet were tapping wildly on the polished wood floor; my eyes seemed to be darting in every direction. My shoulder had this weird twinge; I had to roll it every few seconds to get rid of it.

The strangest thing was this feeling felt oddly familiar.

"Thank you so much for finding and taking care of Lili," Elizabeta suddenly spoke to me.

"Oh it was no trouble," I laughed. "I never officially introduced myself," I held my hand out across the table. "I'm Alexa James."

Elizabeta smiled and shook my hand firmly. "I'm Elizabeta Héderváry," The feeling became stronger as we released each other's hand.

"Please take a seat I'm sure you're tired from the walk over here," I nodded towards the empty stool. Elizabeta thanked me gratefully as I pushed over an untouched glass of water.

"Thank you," Elizabeta sat down with a small smile. "So Alexa how old are you?" She tried to spark a conversation.

"18 going on 19 in a few days," I boasted with a grin.

"Really?" Elizabeta inquired, she seemed kinda confused for some reason.

"Well it's not my actual birthday, it was the day my father adopted me," I clarified, the confusion in her expression lifted.

"So you're adopted?" Lili cut in as well.

"Yeah, my dad found me not far away from a small city in the countryside of New Jersey. The closest city was a few miles away. Though this was during the second civil war, my dad took me to a home for lost children. Though when he came by a few months later,and I was still there he adopted me. I don't remember much before that though."

Lili and Elizabeta seemed to share a look of understanding with each other though it may have been my imagination.

"What about school?" Elizabeta replied.

"Eh can't say I'm the best," I laughed embarrassed. "Though my fave classes have to be U.S. and World History," I yawned loudly at that moment.

"Do you not sleep well," Elizabeta leaned in, seemingly very curious.

"Nah I just have insomnia, is all," I lied.

"There has to be some reason you're not sleeping," Elizabeta pried. "It could be stress, depression," she paused for a second a small gleam in her eyes. "Dreams perhaps?"

A giant meeting hall full of people of all nationalities were seating, almost like in an arena, getting bigger as you move up from the ground floor.

How did she know? Could she have just guessed? Gotten lucky?

"No just insomnia," I insisted. I could feel my smile fading, the kink in my shoulder returning. My foot tapping started once more.

"Alexa do you have dreams?" Elizabeta continued. "Dreams you can't explain..."

Four people stood on the ground floor of the meeting hall.

A tall looking blond.

An albino.

An aristocrat.

Elizabeta...

"Like they actually happened."

The albino man stepped forward with a confident walk, though his red eyes betrayed that.

His eyes held almost uncontrolled fear.

"...or like you were there?"

" With this," a stern voice echoed through the room. "I hereby announce-"

"Stop it.." I hissed. My voice wavered, having a deeper tone to it. My foot was tapping like crazy.

""""" -that Königreich Prußen-" the stern voice seemed to echo, like two voices were speaking. Elizabeta was hugging the aristocrat, tears threatening to fall. The tall blond, still held a strict posture. His eyes looked towards the albino.

"Alfred? Are you in there?" Elizabeta whispered a small sign of optimism and confusion edged in her voice.

" -Is officially dissolved..." my voice rang it through the room. At that moment the albino feel to his knees in silent shock.

"SHUT UP!"

Crash!

I shoved away from the table, my chair falling and clattering on the hardwood floor.

I was shocked by the sheer power and volume of my voice. Though it didn't seem like my voice. It was a couple trebles deeper than it usually was; still, it was feminine but definitely not my own.

The whole café looked at me. Some startled, others glaring at the disturbance.

My breathing was coming in ragged breaths, my heart beating like a war drum. Adrenaline was pumping so fast through my body I couldn't feel my legs.

"Alexa calm down please," Elizabeta reached out to try and calm me.

"DONT TOUCH ME!" I screamed stepping away as if burned. I was gasping for air now, the room seemed to be spinning, the edges of my vision blurred.

"You stay away from me," I growled pointing at both of them. I was sure my eyes were practically glowing from rage at this point. "I never, ever want to see you again," they both looked extremely hurt though at this point my anger drove me forward. "If I ever see you or anyone else that looks even remotely like you," my voice was whispering though I may as well have shouted at this point.

"You're dead."

Quickly, I gathered all of my bags and nearly sprinted out the door. I could faintly hear Lili and Elizabeta's shouts from behind me, though I ignored them.

A loud deafening crack echoed through the streets and alleys. Soon after, waves of water fell from the sky.

I didn't feel it. I didn't feel the rain as it drenched my clothes.

As it fell down my soaked hair and flooded my shoes.

I only felt the salty water, falling from eyes as I walked.

"I guess you were right," the voice echoed in my mind. "There was a storm coming."
