Later that day I was playing Minecraft and I was staring off into space. Attempting to find that place in my mind where I knew that name. Rythian. Joakim. I gasp "Joakim Hellstrand." I shot up and ran down the stairs with my file -I had grabbed on the way- in hand.

"Mom! MOM!"

"Yah! I'm right here what's wrong!" she sounded worried.

" Is Joakim's last name Hellstrand?"

"Yah... How'd you know that."

I grab her arm and pull her the kitchen counter. I open my file and point to my birth name.

"Aiden... Hellstrand."

"They told me he was dead." I read the family information out loud. "Aiden Hellstrand was preceded in death by her mother Cinta Hellstrand, her father Elias Hellstand, and her brother Joakim Hellstrand."

"Do you know what this means?"

"It means that I still have a living relative."

"What do we do."

"Um, I don't know... Call him!"

Mom stood up from where she was sitting and paced over to the coffee table and snatched up her phone. I could hear it ringing.

"Rythian... We might be coming a little early... we need to talk."

I run up the stairs to my room and pull out my backpack and shoved some of my clothes into it with my sketchbook laptop and pencils. I heard mom on the phone with who I assumed to be Duncan.

"... and make sure to water the Anthurium... yes, that's the pink one. Love you bye." she looked over at me. "We're leaving in two hours I just gotta change our flights."

*Authors Note* Sorry for the short episode I've been struggling for inspiration for this story. I hope you enjoy either way. In case you didn't see my edit to the last A/N I had changed Aiden from being half English to being half Swedish.
