You changed my life [Rammstein]

Epilogue: 10 years later...

It has been 10 years since I live in Germany with my husband and our twins Yvonne and Gabriel. Much had happened in recent years, beginning with the birth of my nephew Orion, the marriage of my half-sister, and even the birth of the children of other couples.

Till and Michaela had a boy named Masson. Ollie and Fleure have twins, Sebastian and Joseph. Khira had a daughter, Ruby. The mannequin also had a girl, Shannon. My two fathers had used a surrogate mother and they had twins; Raschelle and Patrick.

As for my own parents, they didn't have any other children except the three of us. Oh yes... I never mentioned our third brother that we discovered three years ago. Flake really has the talent to put the girls pregnant and then leave them. But hey, our new one is called Gustav and is 17 years old at the moment, he looks very much like our father but he is the only one who doesn't wear glasses.

Gordon invited us to dine with him at the manor. We finally get together because we had not seen each other for a long time, because of our occupations and the constant travels of others. And we're in the garden right now...

I raise my head of my tablet and look at my friends who are happily discussing. Till, Dero, Gordon, Paul, Oliver and Danael (Gordon's son, 20 years old) are making barbecue grills.

-How's the job, Mika? Merlin asks the singer.

-I'm working on our new album's last song right now.

-So the rumors are true !? Exclaims Daniel, my half-brother. Are you going to make a fifth album?

-She insisted too much on that. I answer from my corner. She wanted to beat Rammstein.

-No body can beat Rammstein !! Till exclaims. Pointing the spatula towards us. Put that in your heads.

-But my group beat yours. Pleasants Goi. You remember the last year's "ECHO AWARD"...

I get up from my chair and put my tablet on the table. I will go to check if the children haven't done too much damage, because I know very well that they are worse than a bunch of mosquitoes. At a detour, I meet two young lovebirds kissing with great love.

-Richard's going to have a heart attack if he sees you. I exclaim.

The lovers release each other directly and Maxime turns towards me, red as a tomato of shame or embarrassment. She stammers a few words of apology but I don't listen to her.

-Well... we are dating our charming cousin? I say with amusement.

-Listen, that's not what you think. Starts the blonde.

-Danael Kruspe... I thought you were helping others in the grill. I throw to him.

-Jimaima... please don't say anything to the others. Begs the little blonde.

-Don't worry, cross wood cross iron... if I lie I'll go to hell. I promise.

A ball misses us but it bumps against the window and makes a vase fall. I go directly to the children's group to know who launched it.

-Ok, who did that? I ask, falsely furious.

All the fingers are pointing to the little Shannon but no one utters a single word, fearing of being punished. I think they are very terrified to say anything. The little girl lowers her head with shame and then begins to cry.

-Pardon... I didn't do it intentionally. She says between two sobs. It's Sebastian's fault.

-Hey don't cry... all is well, it's just a stupid vase. Throws Danael.

-Unless daddy's going to be very angry. Masson says, trembling. He's gonna kill us all.

-Stop, nobody's going to kill anyone and I'll put all this crap in order. Says Maxime, starting to clean.

-Old sister said a swear !! Shouts Raschelle. I'll tell daddy.

I remain in admiration in front of these little very cute angels. They are very adorable to make anyone melt, especially the Kruspe twins who don't care badly about their positions in the family and play with their nephews.

-We're going to play something else. Proposes Gabriel my son.

-What are you suggesting, Einstein? Mocks Joseph. And please don't go back on the path of horror.

-No, it will be better this time. Smiles his twin.

I can confess... I never imagined that going to my favorite's the meeting will change my life this much... that I will discover my true family. If Emil hadn't kidnapped me, in the first place, I will never cross him. But everything's in the destiny's hands that decides our life.

-But what about the questions that leave you without sleep? I say to myself.

Many things remained unanswered for me. And I can start with Samantha's betrayal. I hate Benjamin Simmons with all my heart, not only because of it, but also because of his attempt to rape me a week before my kidnap.

Why Emil Reinke Landers choosed me, the adoptive daughter of the head of the large Carter Corporation, and no one else. I think he keeps it in secret and will never tell me.

-But also the memories that remain incomplete... Reminds my conscience.

After ten years, I finally recovered all my memories that I had lost after the shock. But there's one thing that I still can't remember... it's the rape. Despite this, I don't care if I lost this fragment because I don't want to remember it and kill Emil with my bare hands.

-Always lost to the west, you. Wakes me up Nele's voice.

I look up at her and discover that I am sitting on the grass and playing with a twig. I get up and face the mother who carries her second baby in her arms.

-Come on, everyone is waiting for you to have lunch. She says, walking near me.

-I want to tell them something new. I declare, touching my belly.

-What ?? Another mini-Landers? She says with surprise.

I nod my head gently and then start walking beside her. But before joining the others, I turn to the horizon and think of only one thing.

"What if all of this was just a dream?"
