The Chosen.

A Piece of Home

"Sloane?" i ask, my lips trembling as i am met with the sight of my beautiful blonde best friend.

A smoking gun is tucked into her hand down by her side. My eyes graze the room as i notice the bodies of our captors sprawled amongst the floor. The smell of gun power and iron rich blood, thickly coating the air.

My heart swells with joy as i become overwhelmed with memories of my past. I had been through so much in an incredibly short amount of time. My time with her has felt like a completely different life time.

I raise from the floor and throw my arms around her neck. I squeeze her so tightly, scared that distance and time may separate us once again. As i weep deeply into her shoulder, i breathe in the familiar aroma of her coconut shampoo. My soul aches for all the time i've lost.

"What are you doing here?" i ask as i pull myself back and grasp her shoulders in my hands. Though i couldn't tell you exactly how much time we had lost, i didn't think it to be that long. I'm taken back at how different she looks. Her blonde hair is now almost down to her waist, her face seems more mature now. Her eyes are puffy and circumferenced by dark circles.

"We came to find you." she assures me with a comforting smile.

"We?" i ask confused.

Turning her head she gestures to Tom. He's hugging a short light headed boy with dark glasses. Towering behind them is a boy with long brown hair and a chiseled jaw.

"Who is that?" i ask, turning back to Sloane.

"Georg and Gustav. Tom and Bills brothers." She answers, still watching the boys as they emotionally reunite with one another.

I watch closely, holding my breath as Georg attempts to hug Bill. Much to my surprise Bill allows the hug to happen, though i can tell how uncomfortable he is. Bill next embraces Gustav in a short but tight hug.

Gustav senses Bills apprehension and looks him deeply into his eyes.

"Bill, these are our brothers. Georg and Gustav." Tom says, tears still pooled in his big brown eyes.

Tom then turns to his brothers, "Bill lost his memory a while ago, please be gentle with him." The boys nod.

My chest feels tight with emotion as Tom protects his brother, asking others to go easy on him. Just earlier today the boys were so eager to be at each others throats and even though they're still not on the best terms, Tom wants Bills feelings spared.

"How did you-??" I gesture my hands around the room, then to Georg and Gustav.

"Georg and Gustav came to the university looking for the twins. I ran into them when i was searching for you and we came to find that out stories were very similar. After some investigating i found someone paid JJ that night at The Library to drug you. He still had the contact information and it led to a place called Tokio Laboratories. We were on our way there when we saw the helicopter." She explains, Georg makes his way behind her and places his hand in the small of her back.

"Sloane really is the brain behind all of this. I wouldn't have found my brothers if it wasn't for her. She's incredible." He announces.

Sloane's big eyes look up to meet Georgs as they share a passionate and intense glance before our presence brings them back to reality.

I swallow a lump in my throat as i wish so badly to be held like that. The emotions of the day have beaten down on my mind and soul and i wish nothing more than to break down and be comforted by the boys i love. But instead i bite my lip, stealing a quick and painful glance at each of the twins. I made the conscious decision to be on my own and i need to stand by it, no matter how hard it may be.

"Junie, what happened?" Sloane lightly places the tips of her finger on my arm folded snuggly across my chest.

"I have so much to tell you." I nod my head, my eyes filling to the brim with tears. I feel as if a part of me has come home.
