I asked Sam & Sakura for advice. Sam said it was a good idea to have a back up instrument and toss away the fact for drums. Sakura said the fan base should understand if I tell them. I can have a back up instrument if I want but not necessarily. Both are opposites. 

I look down at my wallet. I know they cost a lot but remember when I said Sarah would give me ten dollars every month or so? She did that ever since she brought me in because she thought six year old me would want to own something like all kids like to do. But I never spent it. And she kept giving it to me no matter how many times I said I didn't need it.

I don't know whether to ask Tyler and Josh for advice next or go ahead and buy one. Because guess what? I decided on Online School. As I supposed I would. I don't know if I can go on my own either. I'm not a little kid I just think there will be fans to go up to me and ask questions nonstop. But I'm gonna do it anyway.

"Hey Tyler." 

"Yeah?"

"I have my own money that Sarah gave me but I wanted to know if I could go on my own to a music shop to buy an instrument."

"Ooh! What Instrument?"

Here's what confusing me. I'm trying to be original. Cello or Violin are both good. But I can't drag the cello around with me while the Violin I can. But Violin is apparently hard to learn. Thankfully, I've learned to play Violin before so it'll not be as difficult.

"Drumming may seem like I'm copying Josh so I want to try be original."

Josh lifts his head up. "I was thinking of a Violin."

"Oh, that is original." Josh raises his eyebrows.

"I'll still play a bit of drums but Violin will be a back up instrument. I know how to play it, but not as much as drums of course."

Tyler nods. "Yeah sure, if you think you can go on your own."

I smile at him. Better sooner than later maybe. "Thanks Tyler."

I turn around and go to leave, stepping out the door. It shouldn't be the biggest problem. Hopefully. There's a nearby shop for instruments a couple blocks away. Pastel purple has been my color for a while but it's not too bad for a change of color. I'll have to see what's there and take good care of this.

Walking on the street isn't so bad. People notice me but don't really say anything. They know that it's me but at least...I'm given some privacy and some space. Phew.

I take a step into the shop and look around. Guitars, drum sets, equipment, sticks, metal, string, base instruments. Everything of all sorts in music line the walls. Some big and some small. Full on drum sets or loner base drums. Guitars hang up on the walls. Music instruments are every where. And then there's just what I'm looking for.

Violin. They only have a couple on the walls. About four to pick from.

Magenta, black, white and lime green. Not the best variety but they are there. I check in my wallet. After all the years of Sarah's kindness, she did tell me buy something that I want and save up for it. It may seem like a lot of money but I helped around the Orphanage quite a lot even when I had just came in so she called it pocket money. Now that I've never spent it, I have quite a lot.

I could probably buy a Violin and get the case as well as the Bow, because I'll need it. But hey, if Paparazzi catch me, at least it'll be something other than drums.

"Looking for an instrument?" A woman comes up to, quite nice and friendly thank god.

I nod. "I'm, looking for a violin."

She looks up to the four on the wall, then back at me.

"Unfortunately, those are the only ones we have."

"I thought so, not in a bad way."

The green one kind of stands out to me. As I like to hike, walk around and notice nature. The green one seems like the best one to choose.

"Is the green one available?"

"Yes of course."

She takes it off the shelf. I notice that it's five hundred. That's a big number but surprisingly, I have enough.

"You'll get a bow and a case with it, if that's all you'd like?"

I nod. "Yea, that's good."

I notice a couple people around us stand. Hell, I see some with phones out.

You'll be fine. If they talk to you, talk back. That's it.

I hand her the money and she smiles. "A young violinist with a drummer and a singer?"

Here we go.

"Yep. Nothing wrong with that."

"I find it interesting. Have you played it before?"

"Yea, I've got some good practice."

"Hey." Two girls turn to me.

I have a bad feeling of Butterfly Effect...

They're as simple as they come. Nothing to go into detail about. One with blond hair blue eyes, the other with curly short black hair and green eyes with a slightly heavy mascara. They're adults which suddenly makes this a bit pressuring.

"You social media account. I know you won't be playing amongst Josh and Tyler because Twenty One Pilots is their thing alone."

Okay, Okay.

"Will you do any covers on your accounts or any original songs?" The blonde asks.

"Maybe, I'll need to get the confidence."

"There's nothing too stressful about it. You're just playing Violin in front of a camera."

"Will you do TØP songs?"

"Probably."

They both squeal with delight. The woman notices I don't know how to answer things and since I've already payed for the instrument, she motions for me to leave.

I do so and exit the shop. "Wait don't forget us! We're Becky and Mayla!"

I give the woman a quick smile before turning around to leave with the case. I take a deep breath. That was definitely something. I quickly check for some reason, to make sure I'm not being followed. I've seen looks before and my eyesight is quite good. Once I'm confirmed on not being followed, I turn into my street and look down at the case. It took up like, ninety percent of the money that Sarah gave me and I feel like she may be proud.

Believe it or not, I wanted to do drums because I was inspired by Josh. But when I first picked up a Violin, it until took a couple days until I knew what to do. Which is probably unusual for any Violinists out there. Violin could be my talent, she's said it before. Maybe I'll see her again and play a song...

"Hey, I'm back!"

"Hey Kiri!" There's a new person in the building.

Sure, there's Tyler, Jenna and Josh. But also...

"Hey, I'm Debby. You may not know me."

"I do, but not in person." I give her a generous look. She giggles at me and notices the case I have.

"Looks like a new instrument."

"Yeah it is. A green Violin."

"Ooh! That's awesome!" She smiles.

"Debby came over because we're all doing something together later tonight. All five of us." Josh says.

I give a thumbs up. "Sounds fun!"

"Can we see this Violin?" Tyler asks.

I go by the couch and place the case down. I open it up and their it is, the new pastel green violin. I pick it up and hold it perfectly on my arm and shoulder with the bow ready to play. Satisfied on how to use one again, I place it back down.

"So you play the drums, and a violin." Jenna smiles.

"Wait she plays drums?" Debby asks.

I chuckle in response. "Okay so I know two drummers now. That's great." Me and Josh laugh with her as I zip up the case again.

"Where exactly are we going?"

"An amusement park. And we'll probably see Sakura there too. The one we passed by today." Tyler says.

Oh! Zoombezi Bay. I know that's probably weird but it is what we passed. Maybe I can meet up with Sam again! I quickly get the violin out and get one of them to take a photo of me with it on my arm, one looking at the camera and one focused on the violin like I was gonna play it. I thank them and run upstairs.

So I got a Violin today. Needless to say it'll be a back up instrument as I also play drums. I might make some covers at some point as a start to try get a hang of using it again. :)

K: SAM!
S: Hey Kiriana. You got a Violin
K: You saw that already? O.o
S: Yeah, I am online. What's up?
K: Me, Debby, Josh, Jenna, Tyler and a friend I made called Sakura are going to Zoombezi Bay amusement park later tonight
S: Oh, I don't know if I have the confidence to meet them...
K: They kind of already know about you when I was asked if I made any friends
S: Oh
K: xD
S: I'll ask if I can go but if I meet them, will you be there?
K: Of course I will!
S: Okay give me a minute.
K: Okay
S: ...
K: ...
S: ...
K: ...
S: ...
K: Sam?
S: Yes I can go
K: YAY!
S: I'll meet you up at the famous ferris wheel
K: Awesome! They're nice people, I promise you won't regret it dude!
S: You're really nice
K: You are too, you were just awkward
S: Hey!
K: xD btw I'm doing online school so a lot of our conversation will most likely be online
S: R.I.P
K: R.I.P Me

"Kiriana are you okay there?" Tyler calls.

"Yeah, I'll be down in a second!"

K: Gotta go.
S: See ya later
K: Bye Sam! :)

I throw on a TØP jumper that I was given and make my way back down the stairs. "How are you with video games?" Debby asks.

"You're not gonna like my answer."

"You've never played a video game..?"

I nod. Her eyes widen. "HOW?! Okay, hang on. We're playing Mario."

"Debby!" Josh laughs.

"It's a classic! She'll have fun!" Debby giggles.

She turns the TV on and loads up Mario. "Here's the controller."

"That's a lot of buttons." She smiles finding it humerus. "It's not as complicated as you think. Believe me."

She explains it to me and it makes a bit more sense to me. But when I play the game, I am completely terrible at it. "Kiriana! How are you this bad at it?"

"I'm learning! Shhhhhhhhhhh!" 

"Don't go down that pipe!"

"Why-OH GOD!" A plant eater pops up and kills me. When I turn to Tyler, he has his phone out. I breathe out a laugh but nonetheless I respawn at the last point.

"Do you think you'd be able to learn the theme of this game on the Violin?" Josh asks me.

"Probably. I don't know if I'm ready to play it today though."

"I didn't say today."

"Oh."

I hear him chuckle and I lower my head in defeat.

"Okay I wanna ask you questions while you play." Tyler says.

"Okay go."

"What was the first instrument you played because when we first picked you up, Sarah told me that you started music not even two months after you got there."

"The first instrument...There was an old violin, classic plain orange brown color. I used it a couple times but it was an extremely old violin and they put it away because even though everyone used it since it belonged to the orphanage, there was someone who was more rough with it than me and the violin seemed to have the stings broken."

"Oh no. That's sad." Josh sighs.

"Then drums, of course which were the next instrument I began to play. I was a little bad at it at first but then with practice, got better."

"You did sound really good on the drums when we came around again." Tyler comments.

"What were you playing?"

"One of your songs, Implicit Demand For Proof."

"Oh whoa!"

We have a nice conversation while me and Debby play the game. Eventually, me and her give it up to Tyler and Josh to play.

* * *

I've been messaging Sarah lately but haven't exactly had a video call or anything. I tried asking her if she may go to the amusement park but she didn't respond. There's a weird feeling the darker the day gets.

"Walkers!" Jenna cries.

I watch outside as she points the phone onto the driveway.

"Auuuuuuggggggghhhhhh..." Tyler, Josh and Debby make their way through the orange darkened skies toward the camera. "Hehehehehehe!"

Me and Jenna giggle as Tyler is the first to laugh. Then Debby and Josh. "Are you gonna wear any TØP merch to the Amusement park?"

"Probably. Just give me a couple moments."

I go back and run upstairs, shutting my door. I pull out some light grey jeans, a black lace shirt, a TØP camo jumper, my finger less gloves, black socks and combat boots. I have a backpack in case I have anything with me. Which I put the TØP beanie & TØP cap in there. I also take my notebook with me as well as drum sticks. Because it's not like I can put my violin in there.

I quickly dash back down and Debby smiles at me. "Nice look."

We were going to the amusement park late to have some fun there as well meet up with Sakura. And I'll get Sam to meet them as well. I'm sure after one meeting, he'll be fine. Tyler and Jenna get in the front while me, Debby and Josh get in the back.

"It isn't too far away but it will be a little occupied tonight." Josh says aloud.

Josh and Debby are sitting together so I'm on the side. "Alright."

We start up the car and move off and away from the place. I check my phone for anything from Sarah. But nothing. Still no reply. It's honestly worrying me. I shake my head. She must be busy. I'll have to take photos and send them to her.

After a while, flashing lights of a massive sign of a cool entrance to something begins to come into view.

As well as the crazy roller coasters, big ferris wheel, small stands and so much more. Tyler pulls into a parking lot and Debby is the first to get out as soon as it stopped.

I get out next and Josh is last. "Oh this is gonna be so much fun!!" Debby cheers.

I look around. Maybe we should go to the wheel first. Tyler throws on some glasses as well as Josh.

"Josh it's too dark for sunglasses." Debby looks up at him.

"It'll be fine. Let's go already." She giggles as we walk into the park. Because there are a lot of people, and its dark. It seems like we're not gonna be noticed as much.

"Kiriana!" I let out a laugh as Sakura bolts into me. She may be three years younger but hell does she have strength. And confidence.

"I'm so excited that I made a friend with the same liking as me." She grins.

"Do not a people..?"

"No I don't have many friends." She shakes her head. "All my friends think I'm weird. That my backstory is stupid and that TØP is overrated."

"They did not!"

"Hey Sakura!" Jenna waves.

"What do you wanna do first?" Sakura asks.

Sam said he'd meet at the ferris wheel. Should we go to him or him come to us?

"Hmm..." I look back at the others. Looks like they're currently occupied with a kid fan.

"I met a friend called Sam the other day. But he isn't too confident on meeting TØP but I asked him to go to the park here tonight and he'd meet us at the wheel."

"Ah, okay. It'll probably be better if we bring him to us." Sakura nods understanding.

"Hey!" Sakura yelps.

She yells at her mother which she turns to us. "Sakura?"

"We'll be right back, just two minutes."

"Okay, be quick."

She nods and makes the first move. I follow behind her as we head off to the wheel.

I look around for Sam, at first I don't see him. But there he is. Not in line, just sitting on the ground.

Hold up, what's that massive cut on his face?

"Sam?" He looks up. "Oh!"

He quickly stands up and comes to me. The looks like a fresh wound. "I would say I'm happy to see but what the hell happened?"

"Some woman attacked me looking for you!" He whispers.

Sakura gives me a look for an explanation. I don't even know what he's talking about.

"What?! That's insane!"

I try think for a moment. "What did they say?"

"Something like, I need to bring her in. These people will help me if I find her. Or something like that."

I give Sakura a look of fear. I have no idea who he's talking about! Who would do that and why?!

"Okay, just. Try to relax. You can come with us and meet TØP. Sakura Sam Sam Sakura."

"Hey." She waves.

"Hola."

"I don't know if I'm ready to meet them!" He shivers coldly.

"You'll have to one day right? It'll be fine. But its better than you being all alone here with a cut on your face!"

The cut is on his cheek. Like something whacked him on the cheek and knocked him in the process. He seem unsettled alone.

He nods and follows us. It's not severely bleeding. Knowing cuts all too well seems like a cut from hours ago.

"Are you sure it'll be okay? They're my heroes. What do I say, how do I act. What do I do?"

"Sam, calm down its okay. We'll be with you and you're my friend now."

This take him by surprise, but it seems to make him happy that she said that.

"Hey, is that a new person?"

I move aside to show Sam. He nervously looks up at Tyler Jenna, Josh and Debby.

"Um, Hi." He waves.

"I-Im Sam."

Tyler raises his eyebrows. "Hey fren! It's nice to meet you."

"Whoa, I still can't believe I'm meeting you guys. This is an honor. I, you guys help me a lot. I remember the first song I listened to you and..."

I smile to myself as Sam has gotten their attention, specifically the guys. All three of them seem happy.

"What Sam said about being attacked." Sakura whispers.

"What was that about?"

"I have no clue. I really really don't. But nobody should be attacked so hopefully he saw what they looked like and we can do some sort of police sketch or something."

"Good idea." She nods, quite serious.

Who would do that..?

For a couple hours. Everything id gone back to normal. It seems Sam has made good friends with his idols and everyone has been laughing and smiling. Me, Sam and Sakura are getting along. We go on many rides, Sam wins a pack of cards. Because it was a low prize. Everything is normal for a while. But it doesn't last forever.

I go off my separate way to go get something for Sam. To try cheer him up even better.

I'm suddenly grabbed and pulled to the side and behind the building. Adrenaline kicks in and I suddenly do everything to try get away. I scream but its muffled by a hand.

"Shh! Shh!" I look up.

I suddenly stop moving. Slowly, they pull their hand away.

"Sarah what the hell?!"

"You're in danger!" She whispers.

My heart begins to pump. She tries to keep me happy but this time she is serious. And scared.

"Why?"

"It's. It's Clair. And the man who attacked you. When you were a kid."

The two of them are evil. Pure evil. They're evil to every and any kid. Clair was a demon in the orphanage but the man was worse. He attacked me personally. I shouldn't have to say why for it to click.

"Clair! Did she attack a boy?"

"Physically?"

"Yeah." I shiver.

"Oh no."

"Sarah! What's going on?"

"Clair wanted to go after you because whoever your past parents are. They got rid of you for a reason." She lowers her head in sadness.

"I called the Police on her but she's still running. Clair plans to steal you and anybody who gets in her way and hand you to some very bad people. Now that you're in the public eye, it might be easier for you to find your real father and the people who she's going to find and her and that man are not happy about it."

"Why is that such a big deal? Who's my real father?"

"I tried asking Clair that but she didn't tell me anything."

She quickly wraps her arms around me. "I can get Clair in jail so she doesn't hurt any of your friends but the man is something I still worry about."

"I love you Kiriana. Whatever you do. Keep yourself safe. You have to be strong for people around you."

I hug her back and she pulls away. "I'll do my best to keep in touch with you. But just keep your eyes open and especially keep your eyes on your friends."

She hands me a locket with my name on it. "I don't know your fathers name but this is apparently the guy. Don't forget me."

She leaves into the darkness with the golden locket she's put in my hands. Paranoia is kicking in such a way that I don't want to move. Cautiously, I open the locket. A man with natural grey hair and big blue eyes. But he isn't old. He's young, like my mother in the picture. I assume it's my mother but her face, it's blurred. The second picture is a photo of Sarah and a younger me.

'Don't forget.' I shut my eyes and hold it close to me.

I need to find my friends! I need to find TØP!

~3725 Words~

Somethings not right, Kiriana was going to be fine. But her past is catching up to her and now she's more on guard. The locket and Sarah's back. Kiriana had a friend from the past, what's going to happen to her now? Why did Sarah come up to her the way she did and why did Sam get attacked!? And her real father, she knows what he looks like and she knows he's out there! But what about her biological mother? If it's possible to meet those two again, what if she finds those New Yorkers that tried raising her? Things are changing, they're different now. The butterfly effect is taking action on her, it's something she believes in. Those two girls from the music shop. They confronted her when she was on her own and now she's adopted a green violin. A instrument to call her own. Maybe she can still play the drums but it's different with the violin now. It's more unique but those girls... But they want Kiriana to remember her. What if she sees them again? There's all these new people now. Good, bad and in the middle. This isn't how she wanted things to go. Who is Kiriana going to see again, remember or meet from the past? Who's going to enter back into her life, who's going to try?
