'EXTRA ORDINARY'
5 YEARS AGO:
My name is Vanya Hargreeves and this is my story.
'We were never really a family, we were our father's creation, family in name but not in fact, In the end after our brother Ben had died and our two other siblings vanished, there was really nothing connecting us. We were just strangers living under the same roof destined to be alone, starved for attention, damaged by our upbringing, and haunted by what might have been. We all wanted to be loved by a man incapable of giving love. Our father never missed an opportunity to remind me that I was ordinary, a hard thing for a little girl to hear, If you're raised to believe that nothing about is special if the benchmark is extraordinary what do you do if you're not?'
Present-day:
"Hey piece of shit what was that?", I asked angrily as I stormed into five's room,
"What was what?", he answered unbothered, he was sitting in his vest, I noticed the stitching equipment lying around and a box of kid bandages, his right arm had a deep cut so it made sense,
"You can't talk like that",
"and why is that?", he asked as he began to put the thread and needle in his arm when I stepped in and snatched it from his hands and sat down beside him to do it instead of him,
"Because they are trying to help you", I said while keeping my focus on his arm, I could feel him staring but chose to ignore it,
"But they can't help so they shouldn't even bother", he scoffed, turning his head, I looked up and saw his cheek become red,
"Are you blushing?"
"what no!", he exclaimed still not turning, "ouch", he winced,
"it is done crybaby", I said as I reached across him for the bandages, I could hear his heartbeat now cause I was close to his chest, and damn it was beating at a speed that I thought it might pop out, I looked up and our eyes met, he was red as a tomato but he looked cute, wait, what, I shouldn't be thinking this, so I cleared my throat and backed up,
"and now we're done", I said as I place the bandage on the wound and got up, but he held my hand before I could get up and well we landed in a very awkward state, our faces so close to each other and the tension increasing when we heard a crash which made us snap out of our position,
"Uhm soo what happened?", I said changing the topic as I rubbed the back of my neck,
"nothing just a little shoot out", he said as he started wearing a brand new shirt,
"uhhuh" I nodded,
"do you wanna come I am going to spy on grant", he asked still not making eye contact as he put on his sweater and tie,
"yeah sure", I said looking around the room, I haven't been here for a very long time,
"Let's go then", he said as he zipped up something in the duffel bag,
"What is that?", he just proceeded to open the window,
"You know right we have a door"
"Yes but this way would acquire less talking so let's go"
"alright Jeez", I followed, as we were stepping down the stairs I noticed Klaus,
"Whatcha doing there Klaus?" I asked as I was getting down cautiously,
"I'd ask what you're up to Klaus but then it occurred to me... I don't care", five responded, I laughed as I took the last few steps and jumped down,
"Haha", Klaus mocked me, "you know there are easier ways out of the house, buddy?", he questioned,
"this one involved the least amount of talking or so I thought"
"Hey hey hey you all need some more company today? one second!", he exclaimed looking up, me and five followed his gaze which led to an empty spot, "I could clear my schedule for you" he completed as he turned to face us again,
"Looks like you got your handful", five replied with a smirk while I kept looking at the spot trying to see what Klaus was looking at, all this time five and Klaus were talking but I didn't bother to listen,
"Let's go y/n", I felt someone pull on my sleeve,
"Huh, yes", I said as I glanced back, something felt familiar with that empty spot, as I turned away and walked towards the van with five.
BEN HARGREEVES POV:
I was just sitting on top of the dumpster while Klaus was busy finding dad's stuff which he threw in earlier,
"Damn it where's dad stuff?", Klaus exclaimed as he threw away some garbage bags out of the bin,
"Can we go see a movie or something?", I suggested as I was bored of sitting there, "Or the ocean?",
"shut up", he whined "I'm trying to find whatever... priceless crap was in that priceless box so that pogo will get off my ass", he complained, that's when I heard a familiar voice,
"watcha doing there Klaus?", I turned my face to the direction where the voice came from just hoping it was that person's voice, and it was, I couldn't believe my eyes it was her,
"I'd ask watch doing Klaus but then it occurred to me... I don't care", five stated which made her laugh, oh how I missed her laugh, her beautiful brown hair was open as she slightly threw her head back laughing,
"Klaus is that y/n? Klaus? Klaus, please tell me she's not a ghost! KLAUS!!", I kept chanting not taking my eyes off her, she was back in her uniform and as usual, had her rubber band on her wrist, but why was she 13 again, I don't care it's her, "KLAUS" I screamed once more,
"1 second", he shouted at me, which made her look in my direction, I was now staring at her beautiful hazel brown eyes, and I melted we had locked eyes and she didn't even realize it, she kept her focus on me kept twisting her head to I guess to see what Klaus was talking to,
"I miss you", I whispered tears falling down from my eyes now, I just wanted to touch her again I haven't seen her in 16 years and Klaus didn't even bother to tell me,
"Let's go y/n", five said tugging on her sleeve which made her look away,
"uh yes", she said as she glanced back to me once more and then walked away,
"Why didn't you tell me?", I asked angrily as I looked down at Klaus,
"what do you mean?"
"you didn't tell me she's back", Tears were still falling from my eyes,
"I don't get it what would have you done, your dead"
"so that doesn't mean I can't see her"
"Let her be happy with someone her age and five is the closest", that hit me I stayed silent but my tears didn't stop,
"I just wanna hug her once more I don't care if it's the last thing I do", and with that, I vanished,
"Ben, I'm sorry Ben? BEN?", I heard Klaus scream but I decided I don't wanna show myself to him, my thoughts went back to y/n oh how pretty she looked, "I just wanna meet her again", and then I hid my face in my arms as I hugged my knees and continued sobbing quietly.
