The Black Hair Conspiracy

Chapter 2

I caught it with my head low a little, I took off my cap and left his wrist to fall to his side
"Hello bully, am the disciplinarian" I smirked

He arched a brow and his fist came back with force. My lips went higher, I love this.

No restraints.

I waited, he had to hit me first, to me it felt like time moved slowly. That punch can't disturb my facial features can it? It can. It can. I moved back a little to obtain a brush from his fist and then....I gave him what he deserved.

I twisted the now suspended fist to his back, it's not like it's new. I hit his knee so that he knelt on one knee and jab him real hard on the jaw. He was quick to recover but too quick to think, he threw everything he had, fist, used plastic plates, a round house.

Damn! He's fast but am faster. He was almost running out of breath, that was my intention before I strike.

" Stop it!" A male voice came right after blowing a whistle to draw our attention.

"If you wanted a one on one combat you can always go to the field, the dining hall is strictly prohibited for such acts. Staff sergeant James and Sergeant Sam meet me after your dinner" I could feel the tension in the room the moment he called my name

The so called staff sergeant beside me had his eyes wide with shock and confusion.

"But why sergeant" he murmured
"Sam!..." He called with authority like he was my father "...come with me" he said and turned around. Without sparing the dickhead beside me another glance I walked off following the man that just left.

I restricted my vision to the back of his head until we got into a camo tent.

"Hey" he greeted the other woman in the tent

"Hey" she replied awkwardly as she signalled for him to leave us alone. Somehow I felt like I wasn't going to be punished after all

"Hey" she turned to me "Hungry?"
I narrowed my eyes at her. I didn't even know this person her cap looked solid on her head seeing that she had no plans of taking it off yet, I could only make out her lips

But that wasn't the reason I narrowed my eyes at her. Am not a lesbian. I just had to remind myself that just if it was necessary.

"No" I said my eyes remained passive. I frowned when she started playing with her fingers. I frowned something my mother wanted me to stop doing. Does she not know how to go about 'the stuff' I mean I wasn't one but I could make a move on anyone regardless of the sex. I don't know why I thought in this direction but her silence had me thinking.

"Oh well" she let out a shy laugh making me arch my brow. I was becoming annoyed. But, I thought what if this was my punishment. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, I could endure this right? I was trained for shit like this.

" Here it goes" she said with the same short lived laugh as earlier. I had no idea if I could arch my brow any higher but I did, expected whatever it was that was meant to go.
She removed her cap. She fucking took of her cap. Damn!!

That's no what got to me, what got me was her face. I am utterly speechless. I wanted to scream, run, cry out for help, wake up from this dream but....
But...I remained dormat, I was screaming inside but I still looked at her, now I know why she was hesitant. I let out a deep breath
"I expected you to react wildly" she said scratching the back of her head nervously

Oh I did but just in my head

I arched a brow expecting her to speak as I wasn't sure what to say.

"Hello Sam" her voice came out bold and sure. Oh, she was the lady that spoke earlier with authority
"Am Theresa, Theresa Auberon am a general but that's not important is it??" A small smile dancing on her lips. She beautiful with those full lips.

"I thought we were going to discuss about our keen resemblance, it doesn't seem amusing to me" I said a small frown etched on my face. Trying hard to keep my voice from coming out harsh

"Be calm dear, don't you want to...um touch my face."she said and when I was about to give her a pointed look "people always have that reaction". I remained motionless. Her face resumed it's seriousness

"Am not from here Sam and I'll soon be dying.." she said her voice laced with sadness "but before that I have a lot to teach you, a lot I need you to know about before that time"
I cocked my head to a side and narrowed my eyes at you. I wanted to ask why but I stopped

"The invasion of this things appearing 'out of nowhere' she said using her fingers to make an air quote " is quite disturbing, is it not" she said her accent that I had failed to notice started coming out deeply. " What if you got to know that there weren't just from anywhere as people said, but from another universe entirely" I felt excited inside me when she said that

"So am guessing that's where you're from" I said walking a little bit from my spot to ease my sore feet. I swallowed and looked at her again. I didn't know that a thing like this existed. Her silence was an obvious answer. She looked just like me but a little more slender, her way of speaking and working looked so elegant even in the military. I narrowed my eyes again accessing her.
Am tanned but her skin looks fairer and told a story of how healthy and rich they were. Same black eyes that annoyed me, same jet black hair that improved my annoyance, those big beautiful almond eyes and full lips, to bad I had doe shaped lips. They looked perfect on her, but seeing that she reflexed me in ways that didn't seem right to me made me banish the idea that she is beautiful. Because I am not, although some people say otherwise the mirror says likewise. I got compliments sometimes but from pervert...

"Why not pick someone else to look like, you look ugly" I said in a 'matter- of - fact tone
She gave a small laugh that sounded good? Was I now enchanted by my not supposed twin??
No! Not at all
"So you made yourself believe such a lie" she smiled, a perfect dentition in contrast to my bunny teeth

I made no attempt to comment as i look at her again, her body didn't seem like the type for military , but who said there was a body for military.

" I..I don't know why.." I stammered not knowing how to put my words.
"You don't know why you're need in this mission?" She smiled." Why don't you go back to your room and we'll talk about this later"
That seemed fine by me. I nodded and left without saying a word

They was no way I would ever say that I was fun looking at a total replica of myself, it seemed weird. Is this what twins felt like? I honestly felt confused, I mean it was shocking, I felt nice? I don't know.

Still in thoughts... She talked about parallel universe, like for real that that shit existed.

I heart fell into my mouth, it was beating for no reason. I just felt burden but deep down I wanted an adventure and sadly to talk with my brother. If she was here from the so called universe looking exactly like me, then am guessing mh brother would be there. A small smile crept up to my lips.
Be calm Sam all you need is night duty right? Night duty it is.
