It was on September the 23rd 1996 that Mikaela and Raelyn Forrest at 9:09 am were born at Abridge Hospital. Rae being the first to come out who was followed a minute later followed by Mikaela. These two babies were said to be beautiful, even as newborns.

As they grew older their beauty was evident to many that knew them. At the age of 6 though, the usual inseparable habits started to become separable. Mikaela preferred to confide in her short novels which wrote about the mysteries of the Earth, and the mind of a serial killer.

Whereas Rae was invited to various more parties than Mikaela would ever have attended. As her group of friends was widening per party, Mikaela seemed to become more isolated from the outside world. Only ever coming out her room, for the three set meals of the day and the family reunions.

10 years in the future, you would not be shocked that their separate lives stayed separate. Mikaela currently sat on the cream couch sofa which was situated just under the window, reading one of her most beloved mystery books. This seat was the one she insisted to sit in if she ever did come out her room. As the window provided enough light that she would be able to clearly see each word therefore able to grasp the whole concept of the story.

Rae was slumped on the two seater leather couch, with her two twin cousins Cameron and Candace sitting each side of her. She was texting her boyfriend Blake, her best friend Andrea, and the boy she was leading on Elliot. In addition to the other 50 people who were texting her however she failed to reply out of ignorance and them not being any importance to her.

It was the annual family reunion where their families from both sides, would come together for a day of remembrance of the past year. Each family member with their own story too tell. They had placed huge amounts of food on the dining table, which acted as a buffet table. Various foods to choose from such as: Indian, Mexican, and European.

"Rae, can you please get off your phone for five minutes at least, that's all I ask," Carol called. She was Mikaela's and Rae's beautiful mother. She had blonde - brunette hair, which was medium length. She swore her hair is growing but clearly her roots must have stopped as her hair length has not changed in the last 7 months. She has grey eyes which are shown off by her shaped eyebrows that she gets done every month.

Her lips are always touched up with a dark red lipstick, and a gold blusher to define her cheek bones. She is known in the family by her selection of dresses. She never fails to impress anyone in the family with her floral or aqua blue pretty midi dresses.

Rae ignored her mother's plea and continued to text away with not a glint of guilt for not replying. Carol gave up after that, she knew Rae would never listen to her, even if she was down on the floor begging. It was certain Rae would even ask 'Can you see my beauty even better from down there?' She was a selfish and vain girl yet with a beauty like hers you would hardly blame her.

She had long blonde hair which reached just under her elbow, the ends were darkened with a dark blonde. She was always likened to Rapunzel not including the fact that her eyes were a dark hazel colour instead of bright blue. Her skin was flawless, with not a sign of puberty on her face. She knew how to show off her body by wearing usually a tight body con dress which heightened her top heavy body shape. She wore contacts as she never wanted to wear glasses. Then again why would she care? It's not like it makes her any less pretty then she already is.

Usually after urging Rae to get off her cell she would turn to Mikaela too put down her book. "Mikki darling please would you place your book down, maybe even mingling with your family," without a moan or groan, but with a slight sigh Mikaela reluctantly put down her engrossing novel on the nearside end table. It was easy to distinguish these two identical twins by Mikaela wearing glasses. The rectangle ones, with a red brim. She could never wear contact glasses, they would always make her eyes water. She too like her sister had long blonde hair reaching just below her elbow with darkened blonde ends.
