Eight had once wished that she had the power of any of her siblings, although she had liked to stay away from the thought of Fours power. The ability of talking to the dead and have to live with nightmares like that make her young self shudder. Now though, she wished she had his power more than anything.

None of Eight's siblings had ever showed any interest in her, apart from Four and Six. Four and Six had almost always been inseparable. Six had talked to her first. So, naturally, Four had started to hang out with Eight and Six soon after.

After that, it was the three of them that were inseparable.

It had been a very long day at work so far and I was exhausted by mid day. I let out a loud sigh before going back to munching on my sandwich. I was in the cafeteria of the Hospital along with some other fellow nurses. We had the TV on in the background, not like many people were paying attention.

As I was about halfway done with my sandwich, I heard a soft 'Bailey' and felt someone tap my shoulder from behind. I turned around in my chair to see who had disrupted my meal. My best friend from my job, Livia Hardman, was seated behind me. She had pointed up to the TV which now had a photo of my father on it.

"Hey! Turn it up!" I yelled to another of my co workers,

"Moments ago, police reported the death of the most eccentric and reclusive billionaire-"

I had tuned out after that, barely able to process this.

My cab pulled up beside the mansion that I had once called my home. I thanked the cab driver, then got out of the vehicle. I hesitantly opened the gate that lead to the house that my nightmares originate from. I made my way up the stairs and slowly turned the handle on the large doors. The house smelt of smoke, and seemed to be empty.I called out to see if anyone was here yet, no answer.  I said 'hello' to mom, then made my way upstairs to go see my old room. All of the doors were opened, all but one. Ben.

I reached out and pulled open the door. Everything was the same as it was before I left. The same light blue walls, the same black and blue plaid sheets on his bed. Everything was the same. I hesitantly walked into his room, past his desks and bookshelves that held many books, the TV we stole so we could watch movies at any time we wanted . I made my way over to his bed, sitting down and remembering all of the good times that we had in here.

FLASHBACK

"Why do you read so much Ben?" I asked. "So I can be transferred into another world where magic and bad guys don't truly exist." He replied softly, placing his bookmark in his book and looking over at me. "Wanna watch a movie?" He asked me. "Of coarse" halfway through the movie, I moved closer to Ben and captured his lips in mine for a short, sweet kiss.

"Promise me you'll never leave me Bailey" Ben asked as he broke our kiss. "As long as you don't leave me as well" I told him, my hand caressing his cheek "I would never leave you baby, I love you"

"I love you too Ben"

"I knew I'd find you here"

I was pulled out of my thoughts by a voice calling from the door. I turned my head to see who it is. "Nice to see you Klaus" I told my older brother with a smile. "Same to you Bails, shall we go downstairs and deal with our mess of a family?" He asked me. "Well I guess it was going to have to happen sooner or later" I told him as I got up from Ben's bed. "Come on little sister, lets go mourn" He said sarcastically, I let out a soft chuckle. "Lets"

"Oh!" Klaus exclaimed "Look what I stole!" He reached into his coat and took out a large rectangular box with gold lining. "My god Klaus! Can't you control yourself?" I said while laughing. "I need money for asthma pills!" he said, laughing along with me "Sure, asthma pills"

Hey guys! I know that this first update is very short, but I promise you the next chapter will be longer. This chapter was more like a 'get to know the character' kind of thing, just stick with me and i'm sure that this story will get better.
