"...Dad didn't have his monocle when he died."

"Ok, so?"

"When was the last time you saw the man without his monocle?"

I went downstairs to see ----typically---- Luther and Diego fighting.

"Personally, never. Although I never wanted to see him much anyways," I said, sitting down next to Klaus, eyeing the small fog behind him. Weird.

Luther eyed me. "So the person who killed him must've had something personal with him."

"Wait, so what are you saying?" asked Allison, her eyebrows creasing in frustration.

"Isn't it obvious?" said Diego, stepping forward, twirling a knife in his hand. "He thinks one of us killed Dad"

My eye twitched.

"Is it true?"

"Well, I, uh..."

For once, I felt sorry for the big guy. It must've hurt him to say such an accusation to his family.

"So you do!" Klaus said, astonished. He picked up the jar. "Excuse me, I'm gonna go murder mom now."

Everyone started leaving the room one by one. I pouted and looked around one last time, my eyes landing on Five's portrait. He was my best friend. We always made fun of our other siblings together. It broke my heart when he ran away. I wished that he would come back.

Children, behave
That's what they say when we're together
And watch how you play
They don't understand

Oh God. Really Luther?!

And so we're running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say

Gotta admit, catchy rhythm.

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
Look at the way we gotta hide what we're doin'
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew? And so we're
Running just as fast as we can


I started dancing, a smile creeped onto my face.

Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
I think we're alone now (alone now)


My hips swayed along with lyrics.

There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now (alone now)
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now (alone now)
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now (alone now)
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
Running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground and then you say
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sou--

Suddenly, a crashing sound can be heard outside. I hurried out and saw the rest of my siblings gathered there, staring at a giant blue wormhole in the sky. 

"Everyone get behind me!"

"Yeah, everyone get behind us!"

"Boys, now is not the time!" I yelped at them.

Klaus ran from behind me. 

"Out of the way!" he screamed while throwing a fire extinguisher at the hole. 

"What's that gonna do?!" Allison shouted at him.

"I don't know, you have a better idea?" he shot back. 

Just then, a kid fell from the portal and hit the ground, as the big thing disappeared. He stood up and dusted himself. 
Holy shit. It can't be. 

"Does anyone else see little Number Five, or is that just me?"

Oh my God. I'm not hallucinating. 

Five looked down at himself, then at us. 
"Shit."
