     The bus doors shut with a clack. I walked down the isle and made my way to the back of the bus. Taking a seat in one of the hard leather covered seat, I shift uncomfortably, my hand and arm burn. I watch as Ella and Ashton enter and sit down on the row across from me. They didn't seem to be bothered by the pain from the brands we were given, soon the heat as well as the pain subsides, and the bus starts moving. Taking a look around I see about 15 of the 60 guardians that were in the forest. That's more than usual. We must be seen as a threat.
     I can see Ella being a threat but Ashton? Really? He's so calm and kind. His caramel locks are messy and disorderly, but it suits him. His pale skin makes his ruby red eyes pop, and shine brightly. He has small thin pale pink lips that are usually spread in a smile. I can't help but to notice how skinny he is, but it's not only him it's his sister too. He has a relatively small build, his arms were small, but didn't look like sticks like you would expect. He didn't look strong but he didn't look weak either. His eyes were shut in a laugh, and a small pink blush dusted across his pale checks.
     The way he acted was much different from everyone else. He was a big brotherly type of person, comforting and sweet. I feel like if anyone asked him for help he would do everything he can to do so. He seems so calm, I can see the tiredness in his face, he had dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep. I wondered why. I mean I know he has been awake on the bus ride to the forest for three days, but the circles were there before. I don't know much about him or even Ella for that matter. They seem so open and nice, almost like pushovers. I didn't even know why they were here 2 years earlier that you were supposed to. I didn't even know what made them 'different' by F.A.T.E.'s standards. He seems so normal. But yet he's still here so there must be something about him... Something different... Unusual... Unnatural...
      I was pulled out of my thoughts by Ella's giggles, I blink a few times and focus on the twins. Ella is leaning toward Ashton while his pale skin is the color of a tomato. He's waving his hands in front of him in a frantic attempt to dismiss whatever Ella had said. " you know it's true." She coos, wiggling her eyes brows in a suggestive way. Ashton shoots me a nervous glance, and I raised an eyebrow to question the twins actions.
      "Ella?" I say questioningly.
   "Hmmm" she hums in acknowledgement.
     "What's going on? Why is Ashton blushing?" I ask
   She giggles and responds "~well you see Ashie here thi-" she didn't get to finish as her twin slapped his hand over her mouth.
    " i-it's n-n-n-nothing." He stutters, clearly flustered. Ella quickly takes the chance to rip his hand off her mouth, she gasps for air dramatically.
     " oh it's Something alright." She stressed the world something, making it clear it wasn't like Ashton said.
     "oh and what is this something?" I say dragging out my syllables like Ella had done before, this clearly embarrassed Ashton. He had the heels of his hands over his eyes, trying to cover his face.
     " you can tell me Ashton~" I purr causing his face to go a darker shade of red and his sister to snicker. " I can keep a secret~" his face becomes an even darker shade of red.
    " it's, n-nothing." He stutters
   " ok..." I say skeptically. Yeah he's probably right it's probably...
