Chapter 8

Chapter 8 - Adam (3)

In the end, we spent the whole day experiencing all the attractions that the twins wanted to try. By the end of the day, we settled on riding the Ferris wheel as our last.

We were waiting in line to ride the Ferris wheel and the twins are looking and jumping around with energy as if they didn't spend the whole day running about in the whole park. I'm surprised they still have that much stamina despite the excitement and adrenaline they received, most kids their age would probably be too fatigued and would sleep in their parents' arms, yet these two managed to last this long.

When our turn came, the twins quickly boarded the car with the assistance of a staff and I followed behind them. They sat in front of me fidgeting while looking left and right awaiting the Ferris wheel to move, I noticed something off when we boarded the car, the balance of it is off compared to other cars I've boarded before, but I shook it off and thought that maybe it's just a design of the whole Ferris wheel.

When the Ferris wheel started moving, the twins made sounds of amazement and jumped about in the car, when they did, I felt the difference again and I became slightly cautious of the surroundings. I payed attention to the whole Ferris wheel and the car while still watching over the twins who is looking through the window of the car, admiring the view from above.

By the time we reached the top, my intuition flared up and I quickly dashed and hold my sisters in my embrace as the whole Ferris wheel stopped and the lights exploded. Our car and many others started to swing left and right until a screw became loose and our car dangled on the highest point.

My sisters were crying as I embrace them and I quickly whispered calming words with a gentle voice and that stopped them from crying.

I held their shoulders and said, "Stay here, okay. Don't move. I'll make sure we get down safely. Believe in me, okay."

They nod and wiped the tears on their face, I smiled then got up and tried to open the door but it won't budge, so I did the only thing I could. I put more force into my arms and the door was forcefully opened, I exited the car and looked around and saw others' cars in the same state as ours.

My mind started to turn it's gears at full capacity on how to get us down safely yet no matter how much I try to think no solution came to mind. As I was lost in thought, our car started making creaking noises and when I looked up, I saw the last remaining screw of our car going loose.

Not even giving me time to think, the screw shot out and the car started falling, my body reacted faster than my mind and jumped off the car and held the rims with one hand while holding to a steel bar on the Ferris wheel. I can hear the people and the twins' scream inside the car and it filled me with determination.

Now that I'm in a position like this my mind came up with a plan that probably only I can execute, but this requires serious concentration because if I fail, I risk losing my life and the life of my younger sisters, and I can't afford to do that. They are still young.

Taking a deep breath, I let go of the steel bar and started to descend faster. I waited for the right moment until we are close to the ground and then grabbed at a steel bar again yet I still didn't stop, I broke a few steel bars and the last one bent but we finally managed to land.

I placed the car down gently and allowed my sisters to exit. When I saw that they are out, I threw the car to the side and got down on my own. I embraced my sisters and soothed them before calling out to an employee to ask for a very sturdy rope.

Just because we are safe doesn't mean the other people are, I don't plan on waiting for rescue to arrive. A few minutes later, an employee came running with a thick long rope, I grabbed it and started warming up as I took off my windbreaker and asked the twins to hold it for me.

I looked up and sighed heavily, "Here goes nothing." I said as I took off running and jumped from car to car, I plan to get the rest of the people down but I will start from the highest place.

Once I reached a dangling car I called out to the people inside, I told them not to panic because I would help them get down.

Now to start my operation, I take one end of the rope and put it under a rim and tied it in a sturdy knot. After that, I removed the screws keeping the car in place and as expected, it dropped down but I grabbed the rope and prevented it from descending before lowering them slowly.

I did the rest with the damaged cars and waited for the rescuers to save the remaining people in relatively good cars.

After all that, I got thanked by many people and some females slipped in a paper in my hand and it all contained their numbers. Needless to say, I'll burn them when we return home.

The manager of the park apologized to the victims and promised to compensate them. I was given an award for saving the people and got my picture taken to shown in the hall of fame(jk).

As it was a really long day, we decided to head home and along the way the two slept like logs in my arms. When I arrived home, I quickly passed the two sleeping girls in my arms to my father who was waiting outside and opened the door only to receive a silver human-shaped bullet to my chest.

Apparently, my adopted parents saw the news about the accident and saw me appear as the savior, my mother bombarded me with questions the whole night until I said that I want to sleep because I'm tired.

Waking up, I saw another unfamiliar ceiling and unfamiliar room. Judging by the influx of memories I guess this is a different time again.

I stood up and walked to another nearby mirror and saw an athletic, hard body with lean muscles and broad shoulders. My height reaches 7 foot, which is really abnormal for a Japanese male.

But it's not the time to be worrying about that. According to my memories, my father is... dead.

Apparently, it happened when I was shopping with mom, yes I call her that, anyway, when we were at the market my mom suddenly received a call saying that father was in a car accident. We cut the shopping to an end and rushed to the hospital where my father is situated.

This happened when I was in high school, 17 years old.

My father held on for a few weeks in the hospital but in the end, he couldn't make it.

My mom was devastated and locked herself in her room for days and it only came to an end when I smashed the door dragging her out to the kitchen to eat. She looked really thin and haggard and I have to spend all day just to make sure she is back to normal, mostly.

Starting from there, mom worked hard for us and I could see it from the bags under her eyes, of course she is still healthy because of me.

One day when my mom came home from work, she collapsed on the floor and we had to take her to the hospital, because of her condition we didn't have anyone to support us so I quit highschool and searched for a job.

That's the gist of what happened bases on my memories.

Currently, I am 20 years old and the leader of the entertainment industry in Japan, I also own several news companies and other food related companies under my name so you could say that I am rich, really rich.

My siblings are in high school, and are 16 years old and my mother is helping me manage my companies. Though she mostly leaves it to her subordinates and spends most of her time with us siblings and lazing at home. It doesn't mean she is neglecting her duty, she often work as well, often.

Anyway, here I am, wearing my signature black turtleneck and black pants with a blue windbreaker coming back from shopping at a nearby convenience store that I also own.

Waiting for the stop light to turn green, I stood on the sideways with other people. If it was any other occasion, I would have already been recognized because of my popularity but right now I am wearing a black mask and a hoodie. But that's irrelevant, the light turned green and we crossed the road but a figure of a small child caught my eye, she tripped on a crack and bruised her knee but we don't have time to care for that. A massive truck is approaching really fast and is headed straight for the girl. At this rate she will be killed, I dropped my groceries and dashed towards the girl and pushed her out of the way, suddenly the truck is already right besides me and I can see the interior.

There is no ducking driver!

Was my last thought as everything went black and the last thing I remember is a gentle light washing over me.

(Standard POV)

The animals guarding his body started to stir as they felt him awakening, the each looked at his direction and bowed down when he stood up.

He opened his eyes and tear fell out of it before scanning the surroundings and noticing all the animals. An eagle flew down from one of Fred's branch and landed on his shoulders and a few other brave animals came closer. He stroked the animals gently as if he's done this a lot of times and the animals let out different sound of pleasure.

He finished stroking each animal and stood up with his new 7'1 height, towering over the animals present.

He turned around and looked at Fred's bark and touched it.

"I remember... another life. But that life is my other life, a different one from my previous life. I left my mom and sisters alone. I feel... sad. But, I think I could go back. I don't know why but, I have this feeling of wanting to go back and another feeling saying I can."

He closed his eyes as another tear fell out of it. "Wait for me, mom. I... will be back."

He opened his eyes a new determination present itself inside of it. "I will not abandon my previous name, although they are essentially the same. My name from now is Adam. Just like my other life, I would continue to be Adam."
