The Decembers

Chapter 8

                                                                                           -Paisley-

    West thought it would be a good idea to talk to the twins that are the closest to our age. I can tell he was nervous, but I knew he would be alright when it comes to meeting new people. In fact, now that I think about it, my brother and I never met any twins. The only twins we knew were ourselves and you would think we would have met some in the foster care system, but we never have. Now that I think about it, I remember Cyrus saying that last month the November twins had their ritual. That means they are the set of twins closer to our age.

    Out of nowhere a red head boy with freckles shows up in front of me and my brother. "Hi! I'm Timmy November. It is finally nice to meet the both of you. Welcome to Bright Kingdom. I know how it is to be the new kid in all. I am still kind of new myself, after all last month was my ritual. If you want, I can introduce you guys to everyone." Just when I was thinking about the November twins and how it would be nice to have someone to show us around this place, Timmy shows up with his warm grace.

   "Hi Timmy. I'm Paisley and this is West. I guess you could say were the December twins. It's finally nice to meet another sun twin."

   "I thought it was so neat how you guys stood up to Nora and the rest of the leaders. I also think it is amazing that you guys want to be the first set of sun twins. If you guys can become the first ones to achieve that then between you guys and me, that will give hope to all the twins in the future."

    West and I smile. We were happy to know that we had a supporter. Timmy seems like a cool guy to be friends with. I wonder if his brother and him shared somewhat the same personality. I mean he cannot hate his brother already. It was just last month that they were separated. Everything is probably still fresh in his mind. West then ask Timmy a question, that I too wanted to ask but was too scared to.

   "Do you miss your twin brother?"

    Timmy was taken by surprise. As if no one has not asked him about his brother since their separation. I mean is it that bad to mention any of the other twins. I feel kind of bad for all of them. I mean losing a twin is like losing a big part of yourself.

    "I do miss him, he was my best friend, but I doubt that he misses me. After all Iris is very good at turning all our siblings against us. She made all of them believe that us sun twins are only looking out for ourselves. I heard rumors that Cyrus's protector Storm and Iris use to have strong feelings for one another before she found out that she was a moon twin. I guess that's why she also dislikes her brother because he got to stay in Bright kingdom with their parents and Storm."

    Poor Timmy. So, he does miss his brother. Perhaps there is a chance for the rest of the twins. There must be another way for them to save their relationship with their siblings. I don't even think I want to leave now that I know my brother and I have a chance and maybe the rest of the twins can as well. I was going to make it my goal to find a way for all of them to get a chance to have a normal life but is there anything normal in Rave. I come to learn in my short amount of time being here that Rave and Earth are completely different from each other in so many ways.

    I didn't think it was a good idea for me and West to ask any more upsetting questions, so I basically told Timmy that I was excited to meet the rest of the sun twins. "Great, I'll introduce you guys to Sarah first. She is a year older than us, and her weapon is my favorite out of the other twins' weapons. I am going to have to have her show you guys it sometime. Come on! She's over there by the water fountain."

    The first thing that caught my eye about Sarah was that she was a beautiful girl. She had long wavy strawberry blonde hair. She also was very tall for a 14-year-old girl. In a way she looks like she could be a model for a cover magazine. Sarah must have been at least 5'7 foot tall. I have got to ask her about her height some time.
