The Twins Almighty

Chapter 2

JUNOS POV

That's how it all started.

We thought Giovanna would just teach us how to punch and kick and things like that but boy was I ever so wrong.

Waking up at 8 AM and running till we would pass out. Ending at around 11 AM and going hunting for food and things we could sell on the streets. We'd then end at noon just for us to go to Giovanna's and be taught until 4 PM, when from there on, we'd train until midnight.

Now you may be asking,

What kind of training were we doing to keep us up so late?

Well, we did a variety of things, we started off with hand to hand combat for a couple months. AGAINST GIOVANNA.

This old eighty something year old would beat our asses. Every. Single. Day.

Till one faithful day when she said we needed to know how to wield knives. She would get knives in the back of her store (which she just had lying around or?..) and would make us target practice every day until we could hit the targets with our eyes closed.

It was really easy to me, but Venus said that it was the hardest thing she'd done.

That made me feel a little better about myself to be completely honest.

We then went into training with guns since Giovanna's apparent "friend" gave her some.

I'm still pretty confused on how this old lady has so many connections but could never find food for herself.

WHEN I TELL YOU HOW HARD IT WAS TO FUCKING USE THIS THING.

I just couldn't do it but Venus. Man was she good. She could hit absolutely anything with any type of gun. Giovanna decided to split us up and we would practice different things and developed something called a "specialty".

At least I think that's what she called it.

I would study different kinds of knives and practice with them while Venus would use the guns. It worked pretty smoothly as we would meet up after and before to do some hand to hand combat.

Giovanna said that we both needed to be the best we could be at that.

After guns and specialty training though, came what Venus and I loved the most.

Learning how to race.

Giovanna taught us everything you could possibly know about cars. From how to hot wire them, to how to dismantle their engines and put them back together in less than 10 minutes, to how to change the oil. She then showed us how to drive automatic and stick shift and boy did Venus and I enjoy it. It was like we were flying.

What I didn't know is that right when we were finished with cars, came what I hated oh so dearly. The sudden death situations.

Yeah.
Sudden.
Death.

Now what she would make us do was sit out either in the cold overnight and we'd have to survive with the skills she taught us and/or, we'd spend a day in the fields which were so hot, you could actually get severe 2nd degree burns (which hurt like a bitch by the way).

She would take us to rivers and lakes, and we'd have to hold our breaths for a minimum of 10 minutes. If not, we'd have to run for three hours without stopping.

To say it was torture would be an understatement. Speaking of torture, at one point, she even had us kidnapped AND tortured to teach us how to and I quote,

"withstand the pressure of death."

To say the least, we were officially scared to get on her bad side.

She did, on the other hand, teach us some amazing things. (Still scared of her though)

This went on till the eve of our 18th birthdays.

Yeah. We did this for 4 YEARS.

To be honest, I could tell that it really helped us and since Giovanna also taught us to pickpocket, getting money and food for the most part, was now a breeze.

Until that fateful afternoon.

"Hey, I'm going to organize our money alright? Go out and get us some food I'm starving." Venus was telling me.

"Yeah yeah, when you're done, put the money in the silver kettle." I yelled back as I left.

We were planning on leaving. Venus had told me she wanted to move to France, and I agreed.

We asked Giovanna if she would help us and she said yes but she kept pressing and telling us that we should go to Italy. Being the stubborn person I am, I kept saying no, that France would be great for us.

Boy was that going to take a turn for the worst.

I finally left to the market and started to hunt around for any food for the next hour or two until I got enough to feed Venus, Giovanna and me. I kept looking around to see if Venus was there, but she wasn't. It was pretty odd to say the least.

She always came to help me out within the hour that I left. I started to get worried and decided on going home to check on her.

Man was I in for a treat.

-20 minutes later-

I kicking a rock down the path into our home when I was yanked backwards.

"детка, разве ты не видишь огонь перед собой?" They were yelling.

(Kid can't you see the fire in front of you?)

I widened my eyes as I finally looked up just to see the little bundle of tarps, we called a home up in flames.

"No...no...No."

I began to scream.

"ВЕНЕРА, ВЕНЕРА , ВЕНЕРА. ГДЕ ВЫ? ОТВЕТЬТЕ МНЕ ВЕНЕРА." I yelled over and over again until my voice began hoarse just for me to continue screaming.

(VENUS, VENUS, VENUS. WHERE ARE YOU? ANSWER ME VENUS.)

I saw the paramedics take a body out on a stretcher. I prayed that I wouldn't see the black hair of my sisters but, just to my luck.

It was her.

As soon as I realized it was her, I jumped up and started running up to the paramedics.

"пожалуйста, она моя сестра, позволь мне пойти со всеми вами" I yelled.

(Please she's my sister let me go with you all...)

"I am sorry, but we do not have enough space inside for another passenger. You will just have to find your way to the hospital by yourself." The guy said with a thick Russian accent.

As soon as he says that he slams the doors shut and they take off to the only hospital in the vicinity.

It then dawns on me that I don't own a car and all the money I had for a taxi, was burning away in our house.

I ended up doing the only rational thing I could think of.

I stole a car.

As I'm about to speed off I hear someone yell in the distance,

"YOU BETTER NOT BE LEAVING WITHOUT ME." Giovanna yells and slams the car doors shut as she gets into the passenger seat.

I stare at her in shock till I realize I have to get to my sister. Just like that we're off.

Please be alive...
