Noises and crashes could be heard from the street, not that anyone would do anything about it. Otetz had taken cover with Loche in the bedroom while their brother screamed in an array of pained emotions. Rodzina was having one of his fits. It began early this morning and he could tell by the look in his twins eye, today was the day. The colors of his aura had swept through the room, piercing the silence with a feeling of static.  Of course Otetz wasn't really expecting that today was truly a special day for everyone. Rodzina had finally unlocked his first magical gift; telekinesis.  Rodzina had been angry that morning, this much was true. However, when he accidentally chucked a plate at Loche without touching it, everything fell to fear. Everything began flying not more than a few seconds later. " It just had to be this, the crazy one just had to have this.." he mumbled to himself as he paced the bedroom. He expected something similar but he didn't expect it to start off so strongly. He looked towards Loche who sat on the bed against the wall, holding his knees to his chest. With an internal sigh, he sat beside him. " Hey, it's going to be fine. I'm going to get ahold of someone and they're going to make this stop. " The other shrugged, continuing to stare off towards the opposite wall. " I'm not worried about it. " " Really? You seem a little bit out of shape. You sure?" " I'm just wondering what's going to happen to you. Don't you guys do everything together? What's going to happen when you throw things everywhere without meaning to?" There it is, he thought. He shook his head, smiling reassuringly to the other. " We do everything together but we're nothing alike. I don't know what's going to happen, but I know it'll be okay. '' Though he didn't quite believe himself, it seemed to calm the younger of them. Loche released his legs, sitting criss crossed now, looking towards the door. " I think it stopped.."
He paused to listen, waiting for a two minute break in the silence before standing up. " I'll be right back. Stay here. " He went to open the door, peering into the living room where Rod sat on the couch crying and clinging to himself. He looked around for any possible dangers before approaching him. " Hey..."
" Hi. " He felt a small tug on his heart strings hearing the exhaustion in the others voice. " Listen, Rod, we need to call him. He can...seal you up, keep this from happening again. " Rodzina immediately shook his head, his mood shift causing the backing of the couch to tear open. " I didn't mean to. I just don't know how to stop thinking. "
What had began with an intrusive thought had molded their reality and frightened the other so much it created a whirlwind through the house. It lasted until the other had exhausted themselves to tears. " I know, but that's why we need him. He can fix all of this. It's not your fault. "
He had heard that so many times. You're just a little sick but you can do better, you should call Chris, you need to get control of yourself. They were never wrong, but it was all things he could never do. Rod wanted nothing more than to be normal, but given who their father was, it was never an option. " He doesn't care enough to. If he did, he wouldn't have made us this way. " Otetz took a deep breath, putting a hand on the others shoulder. " The worst he can say is no. "
