The Herons Completed Crew... A Brotherband Chronicles Fanfic

Intro

Intro

Since our father, Erak, had been named Oberjarl of Skandia, we had new privileges. No one could harm us, for fear of our father. My name is Cora, and my twin, Missy, and I were the strangest girls in Halasholm.

We didn't like to sew, knit, clean, or anything girly like that. Yes, we cooked, but that was fun, plus, when there is food involved, we are totally in.

Our father, Erak Starfollower, is the Oberjarl, the official in charge of Skandia. I guess some would call him king, but here, he is Oberjarl. Now, being Oberjarl does not mean everything is formal. Not in Skandia. No formal bowing, speeches, nothing. He's just like anyone else, just with power.

All the girls in town avoided us because we were different, even laughed at us for it. Secretly, we laugh at them because they are the same.

Now, it's not like we dont have friends, we just don't have friends among the girls. We are actually quite popular with the guys. Now only eight of them are our best friends, ten of the others, Rollond and his friends, are more like normal friends, and the last group of ten, Tursgud and his buddies, are more like distant, hated, acquaintances.

The eight that we are close to are Ulf, Wulf, Stefan, Edvin, Jesper, Ingvar, Stig, and of course, Hal. We were out casts like them. They would have to choose their brotherbands soon, and we hoped they were all on the same one. What the boys didn't know,  though, was that Missy and I had a plan. One that wouldn't, couldn't,  fail.

We planned to ask our dad to let us be in the same brotherband as our friends, after all,  they are two people short. Plus, we don't ask for anything from him, we earn it. He just has to let us. I would get the boys to help, but that would probably make things worse, with him being our dad and all.

Yep, we were on our own for this one.

It was a week before the brotherbands we to be chosen, and we put our plan into action.

"Is there anything you need us to do?" I asked our father, with Missy right behind me.

"No, I don't think so." he replied, looking at us suspiciously.

"Since there is nothing to be done, we have something we want to talk to you about in private." I said.

"Ok then." he replied, giving me a strange look. Any other time we needed to talk to him, it was never a requirement that it was in private. We were probably worrying him at this point.

When we got to our room, he closed the door and asked, "Ok, what's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong, we just have a major question to ask." Missy replied.

"Ok, ask away."

"How hard would it be for you to make sure Hal, Stig, Ingvar, Ulf, Wulf, Stefan, Edvin, and Jesper make it on the same brotherband? Just those eight, no one else added?" I asked. Missy and I agreed I should do the talking, since it was my plan.

"Not hard at all, why?"

"Well, if you can do that, can you get us in their brotherband? Before you react badly, we aren't normal girls. They are our friends, and they get bullied by all the other guys, or at least, half of them." I said softly.

"I don't know girls. How well would they like it?"

"They wouldn't mind, they like having us as friends." Missy told him.

"Yes, but in their brotherband is a different story."

"We could go run the idea past them real quick, and then come let you know." Missy suggested.

"You want to get this settled tonight, right? (We nodded.) Then why don't we just send Cora since she can run faster and longer?"

"Ok, bye!" I replied, leaving the room.

I ran all the way to Hal's mom's cook house.

When I got inside, Katrina, Hal's mother, saw me and said, "He's in his room making plans for something."

"Thank you!" I replied.

I walked back to where Hal's room was, and I only know where it is because I have been here many times to help with plans, and I knocked on the door.

"Come in." came Stig's voice.

I opened the door and when I walked in, all they guys were there.

"Hey Cora, Where's Missy?" asked Ulf.

"I can't stay long, so I'll make it quick. What would you guys say if Missy and I could talk our dad into making sure you're all on the same brotherband, and then, so there is ten, adding us?" I asked quickly.

"We don't care!" Stig replied.

"That would be awesome!" exclaimed Ulf and Wulf.

"Ok, bye."

I was gone right after that.

When I got back to my room, I found out that I only took eight minutes.

"They all are ok with it." I panted.

"I guess you can be in their brotherband then, but not in the others. That kid Tursgud and his buddies,  I don't like the way they talk about you two." our dad said.

"Thank you!!" Missy and I chorused. We were the only ones that managed to cause him pain from hugging him,
