≪•◦ ❈ ◦•≫ Chapter 1-I'm just thirteen ≪•◦ ❈ ◦•≫

I fall onto the muddy ground. I don't feel like looking up until a few seconds not fully knowing where I am. I lift my upper body slightly leaving my legs laid on the ground. I see five grown adults standing a few feet from me saying something about a young five. Wait? A young Five? I turn to my side and see a thirteen-year-old boy wearing the same outfit the fifty-year-old I saw earlier was wearing. I look down, my curls falling into my view as I realize... I'm thirteen. Shit. We miscalculated.

All of us end up in the kitchen as I turn to face the rest of the Umbrella Academy I heard so much about.

Five grabs a cutting board setting it down while asking "What's the date? The exact date?".

He grabs a bag of bread as a frail-looking person responds "The 24th." I'm assuming they're Vanya from the description Five gave me.

Five and I both ask "Of what?" At the same time but clearly in different ways. I smile at Vanya as they give me a soft smile back. Five sets down four pieces of bread when they respond, "March." Five gives a sort of relieved sigh and responds "Good" as he continues to make the sandwiches.

"So, are we gonna talk about what happened?" The biggest guy asks. He only somewhat fits the description Five gave me, the only thing off is his... Size. "And who she is?" Luther asks again lazily pointing at me.

"Oh, I'm..." I try to remember my name but like always, it never comes out.

"Anastasia," Five says looking up at Luther. I groan slightly. I really don't like that name.

"Yeah okay, Anastasia." I throw my hands up in defeat turning away from them before turning right back. I put my elbow on the table as I rest my head on my palm.

"It's been 16 years." Luther says standing up. Oh... He's bigger than I thought.

Five scoffs slightly, "It's been a lot longer than that." Five has to look up to match the guy's eye contact which makes me hold back a laugh. Five spatial jumps past the guy searching inside a cabinet for something. Luther mutters "I haven't missed that." under his breath as I snicker slightly and he looks at me. I avoid eye contact with him and turn back to Five.

"Where'd you go?" The emo full grown man asks. Oh... Diego fits perfectly with what Five said.

"The future." Five spatial jumps back to the cutting board next to me. "It's shit by the way.". He opens a bag of marshmallows. Aw that's cute he's making his favorite.

"Called it." A man only wearing a jacket and a skirt says pointing up. By eliminating most of the options I'm assuming this is Klaus. He had a tag on his wrist showing he was fresh out of rehab.

"I should've listened to the old man." Says the old man, I laugh at my joke but only inside my head. "You know jumping through space is one thing, jumping through time is a toss of the dice." Five grabs a jar of peanut butter and looks up finally taking everything in. "Nice dress," He remarks to Klaus who responds, "Oh, well, danke!". I give a slight laugh at their conversation.

Vanya looks as confused as ever. "Wait, how did you get back?" They ask raising their arms in confusion.

"In the end-" I tune Five out as I once again get lost in my thoughts. My worries, my insecurities, my doubts. I begin spiraling as I hear Five explaining to them how he got back. I suddenly see a hand snap in my face as I return to the world once more. I look up at Five with a reassuring smile as he gives a smile back, I can tell it's the non-genuine one that he gives to me when he's worried. He continues spreading the peanut butter on the four slices of bread.
