The couple walked like a typical couple on the side walk of their random city. The ginger girl about two inches taller than the dark haired guy besides her... probably cause he was slouching. The girl was wearing a green and black plaid dress with black leggings and a black hoodie with the hood down exposing her bright red hair. She was also shoeless. Next to her the guy wore a long sleeved plaid blue shirt and worn out jeans with tennis shoes.

The red headed girl glanced down at the side of the road to see a dead rat.

"Awww it's so cute, Rek!" She gawked over the corpse. The guy besides her just rolled his dark brown eyes into a glare.

"It's disgusting," He commented in a monotone voice. "My name isn't Rek..."

She sighs "I was talking to Rek... the invisible dragon. Not you Satomi!" She stomped away from him. Her fiery red hair blowing behind her in the streetlamp lit evening. She suddenly out of nowhere started humming really loudly and not very neatly.

Satomi just stood with his hands in his pockets. Ignoring the nuisance of his little lunatic friend. Vesta just danced around a streetlight like she was 6. She was 16 although she never acted her age. She was either the mother or the deranged child. Never a preppy teenage girl though she has the look. Despite her characteristics she happened to be slightly mad so she lived on the streets of Nizar city. A lovely, bustling, 24 hour alive city. Of course some people'd much rather live in the calm of the country but a girl like Red needed to find something a bit more unexpected than dying in the wilderness. Plus she couldn't stand mosquitoes and the swamps surrounding the cities were their mass production grounds.

"REK BE QUIET! I'M TRYING TO THINK!!!" Vesta stopped humming and grinned. She grabbed Satomi's hand and ran full speed across (thankfully) an empty street. They ended up in the parking lot of Taco Bell... yeah. So Satomi, Vesta, and apparently Rek went into this taco bell.

"THERE SHE GOES!!! THERE SHE GOES AGAIN!!!" Vesta sang at the top of her lungs while pointing at a girl sitting at a table in Taco Bell with jet black straight shoulder length hair and epic sunglasses.

Did I tell you that girl was me? Well there I was staring into the eyes of a true red headed madwoman. It was lovely. I just stared at her with an emotionless expression and eventually she did the same. She's prettier that way. Just a little bit of nothing.

"Liron?" She asked keeping that sad emotionless expression. I just half halfheartedly nodded and pointed to my food. She finally looked away and started chatting incessantly to Satomi who had a blank expression like myself. Lovely. Somehow he knows how to deal with my obnoxious twin.

"LEE!!!" I nearly fell out of my chair when Vesta decided to scream my name in my ear.
"Let's go raid a coffee shop. I'm broke but I want coffee! SATOMI IS BEING MEAN AND SAYS HE DOESN'T LIKE COFFEE!!! HE'S SUCH A WEIRBOO!!!" At that the lady at the cash register raised an eyebrow at Vesta and I politely nodded and looked at my twin straight in the eyes.

"Let's go."

Her entire face lit up like a thousand fireworks. She was so excited that she was quiet for once. Good.



So this is how I ended up raiding a nonchalant Kaffee Haus in the middle of the night. *Sigh* That's also why I'm writing in a holding cell. Fudge I'm getting ahead of the story. Oops... spoilers. Tehe.

*cough* So anyways I'm finally able to get my sister out of taco bell by agreeing to one of her manic plans. Great. So she followed me and Satomi to the closest coffee shop. Now what I didn't tell her is that I called ahead to warn the owner who happens to be a close friend of mine. He just slightly freaked out and texted me a moment ago that he told the customers he had to close for the night for a "family emergency". Ha! My sis is going to get us all killed... hehe.

There we are on Tanner's Street, one block away from the Kaffee Haus, when Vesta insists on climbing up an apartment fire escape cause she got bored of walking. Yay!

"Why do we even bother with this lunatic?!" I ask Satomi. He just gives a small chuckle and smirks.

"I'm more mad than she."

"That's scary."

"I know."

At this point I could easily dump the psycho squad but I chose as if I'm a psycho myself and stay with them. Why!?!

"I'M SOARIN' FLYIN' THERE'S NOT A STAR IN HEAVEN THAT WE CAN'T REACH!!!" Vesta isn't too bad a singer... unless she's singing High School Musical... then she's a dying cat. I stick my pinkies in my ears and wince at the awkward singing. Not only that but she's swinging on the fire escape like a chimpanzee. She sounds like a chimp. Or an orangutan since she's a red headed monster. The deranged smile on her face slowly but steadily fades to a placid expression. Again I must say she's much more elegant with that expression. Her smile's just kinda creepy.

"Lilah....." She says quietly. She looks like a toddler who's just been put in time out. Vesta falls down from her perch on the ledge of the fire escape and trudges back to us.

"What V?" I ask, faking sympathy.

"Do you think I'm crazy?" She's looking at her feet. Seems like she hasn't just fallen from the fire escape.

"People are crazy, crazy girl," Satomi smirks at her. Well that perked her back up again.

"YOU'RE CRAZIER BAKA!!!" She yelled at him. Now they were leading the raiding party and I sulked behind, trying to block out my twin's nonsense talk.

"YOU'RE MADDER THAN THE MAD HATTER!!! AND HE'S LIKE THE KING OF MAD!!!"

"Yes... and you're madder than me. What does that make you?" Satomi shot back at her.

Thank heaven we were only a few steps from the entrance of the coffee shop. Unfortunately Vesta figured this out before I could restrain her, and she pulled out a pistol.

"Cruddy waffles..." I muttered.

There was a series of frightening gun shots first at the Kaffee Haus sign, then the windows, then the door, then Vesta finally just jumped in and shot at everything. Satomi joined her and I, I just watched with my blank expression, reminding myself that this isn't a bank or a government office bit just the local coffee shop. Hey if Justin was wise he vacated the shop. Sadly my hopes were all diminished by 1. The sound and smell of something burning, and 2. The sound of sirens.

I could always run but I'm not a crappy sister so I might as well stay and explain to the cops that it is a misunderstanding and we were given permission to wreck the place... They, of course, didn't want to hear my story and promptly placed us all in hand cuffs. Except Satomi cause he's a genius and always gets away with crud.

There I was, next to my mentally deranged twin, in a police car. Funny how things turn out. I was just having Taco Bell after work. Then I was going to go run errands. But because of Vesta Niori I didn't AND I missed my date with Justice (he's a guy named Justice, not justice).

"Lilah?" Vesta was looking at her lap like a sorry puppy. Great.
I just glared out the window as we drove away from the crime scene.

"Liron... I-I'm sorry..." She sounded sincere but I knew that she only felt that way cause her hype was draining. "Lilah, please?" I turned, red faced, finally my composed self utterly shattered by the thought of an unclean record, towards my dumbheaded sister.

"YOU WENT TOO FAR THIS TIME!" I screamed at her. "REALLY?! YOU JUST HAD TO GO AND TOTAL JUSTIN'S CAFÉ?!? WHY ON EARTH DID YOU THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA!?!" She tried to interject but I ranted on like a truly ticked off sibling should. "AND DON'T GO BLAMING IT ON YOUR MESSED UP HEAD! I MEAN SERIOUSLY IT'S YOUR BRAIN SO GET SOME AUTHORITY OVER IT!" I almost immediately regretted saying that. That put one to many cracks the shell around her fragile heart. She broke to a thousand pieces and I knew there was nothing I could say to calm her. Uhg why did Satomi have to bale on us!?! HE'S SUCH A JERK!

Jail cells are so homey. This one's just like the movies. Strange. Metal bars and white brick walls that look scarily like the kind they had in my high school. Ew. The man put Vesta and me in separate holding cells cause she was acting like a dog with rabies. Then the tall charming looking brunette police man gave me this clip board with a few sheets of paper to explain what happened. I BET HE WASN'T EXPECTING A WHOLE FRIGGIN' BOOK! HAHAHA! I'm brilliant.
