"WAKE UP!"

A sudden pull of the blanket throws me on the floor and I groan as I watch the door getting shut.

"Thanks uncle...you're really gentle this morning," I chuckle and stand up while collecting my blanket back on the bed.

"Huh..." I stare at my pyjamapants - since when have I owned pyjamapants?! WITH STRIPES!

Perhaps I passed out last night on the couch, I can't really recall it. So maybe uncle North had to get me to bed. Yeah...but... this room...

I look around and feel how warmth leaves from my body and I get the chills. This wasn't my room at all.

"HANS!" Someone beat the door and then it was thrown open and I startled so much that I flew back on the bed.

"Toilet is free! Hurry up or you'll be late from school you idiot!" A guy shouts at me and I just nod quickly.

"H-Hans?" I exhale after he left, "But...my name is Jack. What's going on...am I kidnapped...yeah... I gotta get out from here."

I run to the wardrobe and quickly pull out some clothes to change into. I found a pair of sneakers which I put on as well and then I noticed that my skin color seemed different.

I look at my hands which were much more tanned than before. My pale skin had never seemed this...well, warm. Also, I felt different - like the proportions of my body had became different.

"Geez, get a grip and leave from here. Don't lose your focus now" I mumble to encourage myself as I sneak to the window and open it up.

There was a mirror near the window and when I saw a glance from it, it froze me still. My heartbeat was going wild as I tried to find the courage to look at the reflection again. Slowly I turn my head towards the mirror again while my body moves towards it as well.

"W-what....what..." I gasp and start to shake as I stare at a complete stranger.

"No...no..no..." My words stutter as my fingers touch all over this face which wasn't mine.

A pair of green, frightened eyes were staring back from the mirror. This face was much bulkier and longer than mine. My hands were way too big and the fingers too short. Actually this whole body was too broad to be mine.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE" I nearly cry out as I touch the auburn colored sideburns of this auburn hair.

"God you're stupid Hans. You just missed breakfast and I would get your ass to the car if I were you. Dad's going to beat your ass if you miss another day of school," a guy with auburn hair spoke from the door.

"Hans? W-wait...don't go...who are you?" I ask and am still shaking. This was all a bad dream.

"I will go if you don't hurry up... your big bro... Lars - who is going to beat you up if you keep acting weird," He snorted.

I nod this strange head of mine quickly and I grab a bag that seemed like a school bag. I follow after him and to the car. This house was filled with auburn haired men and I saw a family portrait in the entrance hall - it seemed that this Hans had 12 brothers.

My head was spinning as I kept thinking of how this was possible. Yesterday I had been playing games in the living room late and then... well.. it was like something dropped on me - was it the lamp?

"Hey, moron. Get out from my car... I gotta go to work! I swear, if mom makes me drive you to school every day I'm going to lose my mind," Lars groans and pushes my shoulder.

"Y-yeah...thanks," I mumble and mess with the door handle before managing to get out from the car. He speeds off immediately and I feel totally lost.
