Stranger Danger

Chapter 3

     I ran towards him, dropping my bag as I hugged him. I haven't seen him for quite some time now. I was afraid that something bad might have happened to him. I let go and landed a hard punch on his shoulder. "You asshole!"

     He chuckles, clearly not affected by my punch. "No I missed you or anything like that sis?"

     "Where the hell have you been?"

     "Looking for them."

     We both sat on the shaded part of the grass to catch up on things. Classes have started but I didn't bother to attend any more of them.

     "You're not gonna find them Thomas." I said while looking out to the horizon.

     "I will find them. I'm so close."

     "And what are you gonna do when you find them? Make them pay?"

     "Yes." He answers and I look at him. His golden brown hair, the same color as mine, was a mess. There was both pain and anger visible in his eyes. He's been on the hunt for them since the very first day we turned. He could never forget and forgive our makers for taking away the life of our parents.

     Unlike my twin brother, yes we're twins some say we look so similar but I disagree with that, I've made peace with it. I love my mama and papa so much and it still hurts to think that they suffered and their life was taken from them. After grieving for so long and losing control over myself I've finally learned to accept it. They weren't coming back anymore and I'm left trapped in this soulless body with nothing to do but move forward.

     I shifted my gaze and looked towards the two guys talking where their bikes are parked at. "We should turn it off." I suggested to him. We do it once in a while when we get too carried away with our emotions. When we get too vulnerable and drowning in our inescapable sorrows.

     "I can handle it Luce." He lets out a sigh before continuing. "How do you like this town so far?"

     "I don't know yet. I have a tour later with a friend I made." I smiled when I remembered about that.

     "A friend huh. I have a feeling you might stay here for a while." And with that he stands up and helps me get to my feet. "I must get going sister. I'll come visit again."

     "See you around brother." I gave him a tight hug and so did he. When I let go of him he disappeared as if his presence was never here to begin with.
