Lady Aloria's Viewpoint:

Today was an unforgettable one. I couldn't get the image of my younger brother yelling at the others.

It's just not like him. Family or not, I have to keep Tina'e safe from that creep. His aura alone is definitely different from ours but yet, his mind is somewhat, good... After a long and tiring day, sleep was all I needed. I don't know if it was my powers doing voodoo on me and all, but for some strange reason, I couldn't lay still. Every time I moved, I kept getting the feeling that someone's watching me. It was as if everything was out of place. 

Then, all of a sudden, I heard a loud noise coming from outside.

"Hmmm, that could be Derek again. He's always a sleepwalker, ugh, better go check on him."

As I made my way to my sons room, I quietly opened the door and was surprised to see him lying down on his bed, face flat and drained. 

You know that sixth sense that we mothers always carry is actually quite helpful. But if it wasn't my son who was causing trouble, then who was?

I began hearing echos emanating from the other side of the hallway. And as I looked out to the other corridor, I noticed two figures chasing one another. And from closer inspection, I noticed one was a lean and tall fella while the other was a stubby looking one. Then I came to realize that that man was no other than Argoeux! My assumptions were correct as I heard him screaming out:

"We can think this through!"

Whatever he did wrong, I bet he was running away from it.

"What is he up to now?!? This late at night???"

While brisk-walking past other rooms, Argoeux suddenly popped into my view and started running towards me yelling:

"LADY ALORIA!!! RUN!!!"

From our distance, his shout was but a mere whisper.

"I'm sorry, I yelled back, but what did you say?!? I didn't quite get that!!!"

"RUNNN!!!!"

And from that moment, I wasted no time and effort to listen to him because what I saw behind him didn't make me think twice. That repmuj with a knife in his hand, doesn't seem too overall friendly.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE NOW?!?" I angrily asked him.

"Just follow me my lady, quickly!!!"

My small jogs turned into a rapid run in a matter of seconds. And while running for our lives, Argouex explained everything to me.

"WAIT!?! What?!? So you're saying he's being manipulated???"

"I believe so my queen, huhuhuhuhu. His movements, huhuhu, his eyes, everything about him just seems wrong, huhuhuhu. Ughhh, my apologies, but sadly, I can't go on for much longer..."

Of course, that was such an absurd decision to make! I couldn't just leave my royal adviser behind. With a door located right next to me, I quickly devised a plan.

"I'm sorry Aroguex."

"For what my- ughh" 

He was cut-off in mid-sentence as I pushed him into the room and locked the door from the outside. I didn't want him to take part of any of this. If he says that this guy was being controlled, then it's my job to fix it... alone.

"LADY!!! LADY  ALORIA PLEASE!!! LET ME OUT!! You don't know what you're up against!!!" Argoeux hollered as he kept banging at the door.

By the time the repmuj set his sights on me, I definitely felt another presence. 

"Don't worry about me Argo... I got this."


Nathas Viewpoint:

With the fat man in our sights, I knew I couldn't possibly loose him.

But what put me in a complete halt was that familiar scent.
And from the repmuj's view, I saw her.

 "Hmmm, well, well, well... if it isn't Aloria. It's been a while since our last family reunion. 

Isn't that right... sister?"

=====================================================

*Since both were born twins, both had the same capabilities. That's why, in this particular situation, they're communicating through their minds.*

=====================================================

"You were never invited Nathan! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE BOY?!?"

"My, my, that's some smack-talk coming from a person like you sis! It's certainly quite unlike you. HA! I'm kind of surprised."

"DON'T CALL ME THAT YOU DEMON! TELL ME NOW NATHAN, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE BOY?!?! Or so face the wrath that I will unleash upon YOU!!!"

"Ooooo, "I'm sooo scared". You were never really good at taunting Al. Besides, what better way to show you than to do it himself!"

  With the knife in his hand, I immediately commanded the repmuj to attack!

"You better start running... 

Al."

She and the fat man made it off to a quick start. But that didn't stop me.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

As we made our way to the end turn, cornered and pinned against the walls of the castle, I finally got her right where I wanted her.

"Hmmm, seems like the fat man has abandoned you," I said, with a big smile upon my face.

"You don't have to worry about him, she said,  this is between you and me. He's got nothing to do with it!"

"Ohhh but he does! He knows a little too much...

 In fact, both of you already know TOO much! Once I'm through with you and the him, your "little family" is NEXT!!!"

She slowly backed-up against the wall and like a lost puppy she was cowering in fear before my presence.

"Seems like your running-out of options. And I've wasted enough time. " 

And as I said this, Aloria quickly jumped-off the window.

I later on realized that there was a hidden ledge that had quite enough room for a person to land perfectly onto.

*Sigh*, "She's making this is too easy as it alteady is..." I muttered to myself as I began my descent.

I signaled my puppet to follow her, and by the time we caught-up, the real fun was about to begin. We were both standing on a ledge, 300 ft from the ground. And I all I could hear now, were the roaring and thundering sounds of the waterfalls beneath us. It was waiting, waiting for its next victim.  

That's certainly not going to be me.

And with a quick flourish I asked her;

"Shall we ... sis?"
