The Decembers

Chapter 9

                                                                                              -West-

    Mary and Jace were both fighting with weapons. They each had a different weapon of their own. Mary had a cross bow and Jace had an Axe. It was cool seeing them skill practice without using swords. They both really did seem like knew what they were doing.

    Just watching them both fight one another made me want to learn how to fight like the way they do. I whisper very quietly to Timmy, so I don't distract them from their skill practice. I was telling him how amazing they were. Suddenly, I hear Marry saying thank you. How the heck did she hear what I just said to Timmy. She is like a couple of feet away from me and I knew I was very quiet with what I had just said.

    She smiles at me and stops practicing with Jace. "You're probably wondering how I heard you from all the way over here. Well, that is because I have enhanced hearing. I can hear anything I want from far away."

    Paisley and I look at each other. I can tell we were thinking the same thing. She had a power or some sort of gift. I mean how cool was that. Everything about her was so cool. Not only she had this great crossbow as a weapon and this gift of hearing, but she had a nice short pixie haircut. You can tell she was a complete tom boy. I decided to ask her more about her gift.

    "That's awesome that you have enhanced hearing. Are there others like you?"

    She just laughs and so does Timmy and Jace. My sister and I on the other hand were confused to why they were laughing. Did I just ask a silly question just now? Timmy stopped laughing and look straight at us with a smile on his face.

    "You guys really have no clue, do you?"

    "What do you mean no clue."

    "Every set of twins get their own weapon, pet, magic and armor. Only with in time you will get to have all those things. It just depends what age you are. I think it's best for Cyrus to explain everything to you, since he has them all."

    I was even more confused to what Timmy had just said. He is right though; Cyrus has a lot of explaining to do. Especially with the whole magic thing, but just knowing that we will get to have all those things. If we truly did receive all those that would be the best gifts that Paisley and I have ever gotten in our life. Jace then started bragging about his gift.

    "If you think her gift is cool, you should hear about mine."

    Mary just rolls her eyes. "O No, here we go again about his gift."

    "I can see someone's future but sometimes it can change or be a little foggy." Paisley ask Jace what it means if it is foggy. He looks down with an upsetting face but continues to talk. "It could only mean one thing and that's death. There will be death sometime soon in that person future."

    At first his gift seems cool. I mean who would not want to know about their future but after him saying that he can sense death when it is on its way after looking into someone future is dark if you ask me. I would not want to know the day or what causes my death. I mean I want to live every moment like it is my last one. Jace was telling us he can look through someone future by staring into their eyes for too long. He asks if Paisley and I wanted him to see through our future. I decline the offer and tell him no thank you, but Paisley offered herself. I wanted to stop her, but I knew she would have gone ahead and let him do it any way.

    Jace step up close to Paisley and ask her not to blink. She did what she was told. I can tell Jace enjoyed his gift except for the whole death is coming for you. He had very puffy set of hair and was very skinny and tall. If he attended my middle school, he would probably be good at every sport because of his Height. I can tell by the way he was fighting with Mary earlier as well, that he has some seriously good skills. They are both quick as well. Timmy was not joking when he said they are the best fighters out of the sun twins.
