*RING RING RING*

"Come of Eight, that's dinner" Five said lifting himself off his bed and holding out his hand to lift me off, I put my hand in his and he pulls me off the bed.

"Race you there?" I ask with a grin, "oh your so on!" he replies with a slight chuckle before he whips open his room door. "3...2..- GO" he says catching me off guard and giving himself a head start. "Your so dead!" I scoff while chasing after him.

We meet the rest of the family downstairs as we stand behind our own set chairs, everyone waits for fathers motion for us to sit. Once given, we all sit down and start eating, eyes wander around the room as all of us do our own thing.

I don't feel very hungry so I'm not eating much, I slide glare over at five who isn't eating at all but instead looks angry contemplating about something that is clear to be bothering him.

I furrow my eyebrows at Five to grab his attention. He gives me a look saying 'he bout to catch these hands'. He gives a slow glance to father before a knife is stabbed viciously into the table.

Jumping in my seat, the sudden movement had given me a fright. That was until everyone realized that father was going to react, negatively by the look on his face. "Number Five?!" He says in a stern tone.

"I have a question" Five says snapping back.
"Knowledge is an admirable goal, but you know the rules. No talking during mealtimes, you are interrupting Herr Carlson." I roll my eyes at fathers passion for Herr Carlson.

I quickly look back at Five who moves his plate towards the middle of the table. "I want to time travel." He says sharply, "No!" Father says in exchange. "But I'm ready. I've been practicing my spatial jumps, just like you said" he said standing up from the table.

Five wasn't lying he had been jumping from different rooms of the house for the past few weeks.

He then spatial jumped from his seat at the table to next to where father was sitting "see?" He said in hope to seek fathers approval.

"A special jump is trivial when compared with the unknown's of time travel."

Zoning out the conversation I continue to eat my food, knowing Five is going to get in trouble.

"EIGHT!" Five shouts at me as I look at him, not knowing what just happened. He runs to the doorway. Knowing this is my cue to get up and follow him out, I stand up quickly only to be pulled back down by Ben "don't go please" he begged "I-I'm sorry Ben" I say in a rush. I got out  his grip and raced after Five, listening to father scream my name for me to come back.

Five stood waiting for me impatiently at the gates to our home, I rush out the double doors to be greeted by his angry face. "Took you long enough" he says in annoyance, "shut up and run before they catch us" I say trying to stop myself giggling at five.

"Where are we going anyway?" I ask curiously. "Anywhere.." he replied, we carry on running until we both start speed walking down the same street.

Five grabs my hand and holds it tight he gives me a look and continued walking.

"Don't let go, okay?" he says with a serious look "um, okay" I reply unsure.

He then spacial-jumps with me into a familiar area, we were just here, we are in the same place as before. Just at a different time, like summer time.

I look at Five grinning to himself. "Hmm, pretty average I suppose" I say sarcastically looking at him trying not to act amazed, he glanced back "drop your act" he says also being sarcastic still grinning he looks back forward.

He spacial-jumps again doing the same but this time it was colder, it must be winter. He's getting tired and his powers are becoming weaker, keeping his hand close i only grip tighter and let him continue. He does it again for the third time, stopping in place as soon as we arrive.

"What the.." I said not knowing what to think. He looks around at what must have been the world.

I look at him with tears swelling in my eyes and my breathing becoming heavy and irregular, he looks at me and notices I'm about to cry.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" He says looking at me putting but his hands on both my shoulders attempting to calm me down. "We are gonna be fine we just... uhhh" He begins, being just as confused as me.

"We need to find the academy and well everyone else...T-t-they... They'll know... What to do"

He pulls me in with my right hand which is still latched onto his, hugging me tightly until my breathing was regular. "C-come on let's find everyone" I say wiping my tears.

———————————————————————

We run hand-in-hand towards the way we came, until met with the remains of the familiar gates of where we once lived.

Five runs his hands through his now messed up hair and attempts to process what is happening. I jump over the half broken gates and burned academy to search for my family.

"BEN!... VANYA!... KLAUS!... FATHER?... IS ANYONE HERE?" I shout out for anyone to hear. I step back in panic, only to be tripped back over a huge stone that causes me to land on my back hitting my head off the ground. I stand up, putting my hand on the back of my head, I winced in pain as I looked at the blood on my hands from my now bleeding head.

I look down to see if I hit it off anything in particular, only to find something I never wished to have seen, I gasp in fear at what I uncovered.

Starting to break down, crying I fall onto the ground. "FIVVVEEEEE" I shout as I look over at my dead brothers body.

Five runs to me, unsure at what I've found. He sits down next me, hugging as I bury my head into his chest leaving wet tear drops to be soaked in by his shirt, he pulls me closer and starts stroking my hair, unaware as to what I had seen.

"Eight what is it? What did you find?" He says softly calming my nerves. Unable to speak I point at klaus' corpse laying in the rubble.

He eventually notices and hugs me tighter. He opens his eyes as we both pull away, gasping at what he sees behind me. He stands up in shock almost losing balance as he makes his way over to another pile of rocks.

"Oh my god" He says under his breath.

He leans down at what looks like another corpse. I turn away and shut my eyes hoping this is is all a bad dream.
