Tessa laid back down. 'It was just a dream, no need to overthink it...' With that last thought she fell back asleep, but this time she didn't have another dream.
The alarm clock rang out, causing Tessa to awake from her dreamless slumber. She sat up and threw her arms up in a stretch, hoping that would help throw off her drowsiness. She looked around and felt as if she was forgetting something. "A dream… A memory…" She mumbled as she held her head, mostly over her left eye. "I can't remember… Ahh, my eye really hurts…" She stumbled off of her bed, holding her left eye. She opened the door and started to walk down the stairs. 'Two days left until my birthday' Tessa thought cheerfully. When she started walking down the stairs she could heard noises in the kitchen. With a large yawn she walked in and noticed that her Aunt Yana was making breakfast. "Good mornin Aunt Yana~" Tessa said with a drowsy voice.
"Good morning Tes-chan." Yana replied to Tessa in Japanese, who at first looked at her aunt with a confused face, "I hope you've been practicing your Japanese, you've been studying since nearly just a baby, and that's what you've been telling me over the phone~" Yana hummed out as she turned back around to continue to cook. Tessa sighed as she scratched the back of her head.
"Of course I have Aunt Yana, it's just that I was surprised at first, haven't spoken to anyone in fluent Japanese since our last conversation…" She looked at her aunt who had an approving smile and smiled back at her, "Whether I speak in Japanese, or in English, one's the native language for my birth country, and the other is the native language for my soul." Tess looked at her aunt with a wide grin.
"Don't forget that I was originally the one to tell you that."
"I know, that's why I'll never forget it."
"Hah, too early in the morning to try and follow a conversation that's in a different language…" Tessa's mother said as she walked out of her bedroom.
"Complaining again? Your family is the one that made it a rule that you have to be fluent in at least one other language, remember?" Tessa's father said as he walked out and hugged his wife from behind. Her mother deeply sighed.
"Haah, I know, but Tessa had to choose the language that no one in the family, but grandmother, ever learnt. I she would've learned French, then we could have conversations. Or if she learned German, then she could have conversations with her Aunt Kayla, or with Alex!" Everyone started to laugh.
(Going to refer the mom and dad as Mother and Father from now on)
"Well if you need anyone to have conversations with in French you could always talk to me." Yana said as she started to smirk at Mother.
"Quit braggin since you know multiple languages, I only know one, English!" Father said as he made a silly pouting face.
"Oooh, mon pauvre bébé (Aww, my poor baby)" Mother said as she patted Father's head.
"Ne faut pas dire tout ce que vous ne voulez pas que je l'entend. (Don't be saying anything you don't want me to hear.)" Yana said in a monotone and strict voice.
"Eh bien ne pas apprendre plusieurs langues! (Well then don't learn multiple languages!)" Yana put down the mixture she had and walked over to Mother.
"Ne me donnez pas que! Je dois savoir pour mon travail! (Don't give me that! I need to know for my job!)" Tessa and her father sighed and walked into the kitchen. They knew that this argument would last a while, and neither of them knew what the arguing duo was fighting about. The two arguing women moved it into the living room.
"Haah, I can't believe that their still goin at it…" Tessa said as she stirred the pancake batter. Her father laughed at his daughter's remark.
"Well it's been a long time since they've seen each other, so they're bound to have a fun argument." Tessa looked up at her father with confusion.
"How can an argument be fun? It sounds more like their angry at one another." She started to fry the pancakes.
"Haha, you're nearly sixteen, but you still have much to learn, huh?"
"Hey! I'm only a day away from turnin sixteen!"
"I know, you're growing up too fast. They are arguing because they realise one another's strengths and try to test their own strength." Tess didn't understand fully to what her father was saying to her, and the father noticed this. While patting Tessa on the head he said, "I know it's confusing at first, but you'll understand someday when you find someone to argue like that with." A large smile spread across her face as she looked back at her father. Breakfast was made, the women stopped arguing, and everyone were having fun sitting around the table.
"Oh, I almost forgot, Tessa, you and I are going to the movies today." Yana said as Tessa's expression turned into a very excited one.
"Seriously? Awesome!" Tessa said as she quickly finished her breakfast and ran upstairs to get ready.
FB=FB=FB=FB=FB=FB=FB=FB=FB=FB
"Thanks for takin me to the movies Aunt Yana!" Tessa said excitedly on the car ride back home. They were mere minutes from arriving back home,
"No problem, though I didn't know we'd be getting back so late…" Yana looked at the car's clock that said it was 5:00pm
"Why do you always speak in Japanese when it's just the two of us?"
"Because you need the practice of using it more often" Tessa gave her a confused look.
"Why is that?"
"Ah, actually I need to talk to you about something important. It's about you and I go-!"
"What's that?!" Tessa yelled out, cutting Yana off, as she could see the rise of smoke from the direction of her home. Yana looked at the smoke with shock, and quickly stopped the car. "What're ya doin?! What if they need our help?!" Tessa yelled out as Yana jumped out of the car, ran to the other side, opened Tessa's door, and pulled her out. Tessa tried to protest, but Yana just continued to pull Tessa towards the forest that was beside the house. While running they noticed a group of men in black suits drag out Tessa's family. Right when she saw the men Yana dropped to the ground, dragging Tessa along with her. Yana covered Tessa's mouth and they watched the men. Then their faces went pale as they could see two of the four men pull out their gun. Tessa tried to scream for them to stop, but Yana made sure to muffle the sounds.
"Close your eyes Tessa." Yana said as she looked away, but Tessa couldn't move an inch. She then heard the dreaded 'bang' sounds that she wished not to hear. A total of three shots were fired, one for each of Tessa's family members. Tears rolled down Tessa's face with no stop, then she felt something inside of her. Shaking off Yana, Tessa began to run towards the four men who killed her family members. "Shit!" Yana yelled out as she too stood up and pulled a gun from a holster on her ankle. Right when the men noticed Tessa, and lifted their guns to shoot her, four shots were heard from behind Tessa. Tessa whipped around to see Yana lowering her gun, and starting to run toward the frantic teen. Before Tessa could get to her family's bodies, Yana grabbed her.
"Stop! Let go of me! They need me!" Tessa yelled out as she struggled against Yana.
"Tessa, I'm sorry, your parents would want me to do this." Yana said as she lifted her gun up in the air.
"Wha-!" Tessa fell to the ground as Yana hit the back of her head with the base of the gun, knocking her out. Yana looked at Tessa, then at the others, tears starting to flow from her eyes. SHe walked over to Tessa's mother and closed her eyes.
"I'm so sorry this happened… I promise that I will protect Tessa." Yana got up and wiped the tears from her eyes. She walked over to Tessa and picked her up, carrying her back to the car that they fled from. After laying Tessa in the back seat, Yana took out a syringe with sedatives in it. She delicately stuck the needle into Tessa's arm and administered the drug. Afterword she threw threw the syringe to the side of the road and closed the door. When she sat down in the driver's' seat, she pulled out her phone and started to dial a number. When the other line picked up the person said nothing. Yana said only one sentence before hanging up and driving away, "Get the jet ready, we'll be there in twenty minutes."
