I would like to dedicate this chapter to my irl BFF lejhonlocker, for shamelessly promoting my (for the time being) tiny story that is the shadow elements so I will do the same here. Are you a fan boy/girl? Do you love johnlock, then “more than just a game” is the story for you! It is super adorable and fun to read so go check it! At last, here is chapter 2!! Hope you enjoy it! Have an amazing day and be sassy! ;D <3

Chapter 2******** 

“Silas, do you want to go to town with me and Celia?” my father asked. “Why are we going?” I asked raising my eye brow questioningly “to talk to the mayor, you 2 have just as much power in this town as me and your mother do so I thought you should come along.” He barley had time to finish before me and Celia jumped up to go get ready, kissing mother on the cheek as we went.

 Celia leaves me to go into her own room but she’s never really gone. Since birth we have been bonded, all magical twins are supposed to have it but including us, only 2 sets of twins have ever been recorded to have actually been bonded. Some wizards go through spells to be bonded to their best friends or loved ones but the bond of twins is the most beautiful and pure bond. The bond makes it so that whatever Celia feels, I feel with her. It is said that if, in a bond, one member dies, the other will become depressed and over time loose the will to live. It’s like your bonded partner is your better half.

“Silas, hurry up!” Celia said popping her head in already dressed in her heavy cloak and boots, sliding her gloves onto her delicate hands.

I quickly grab my cloak while sliding my feet into my boots. Me and Celia put our hoods up and meet father outside. “You two have grown up so fast.” My dad said half-jokingly as he clapped us both on the back. Celia rolled her eyes and blew a stray piece of hair out of her face.

 

  Slowly we started down the hill towards Wallgau. Since it was the middle of summer, Celia was loving the heat, pointing her face towards the upcoming morning sun as I buried myself deeper into my cloak. I felt a drip of water fall off my hair as we entered town.

As people saw us, they bowed their heads and moved towards the edges of the street. I could feel Celia getting nervous and, being the boy that I am, tried to ease her mind by awkwardly patting her shoulder.

She giggled slightly but kept her eyes trained to the ground.

    Let her worry I thought, eagerly soaking in my surroundings. I have never been allowed to go into town before and never seen so many people. But most of them walked with their eyes adverted from the 3 of us. But as we made our way through the center of town I notice a girl about 15 like I am, bouncing a young boy on her shoulders while she carried 2 water buckets. They both had extremely blonde hair like mine, but without the ice.

I hadn’t notice how close she had gotten until the little boy who I assumed was her brother grabbed my hood and yanked it down hard.
