Off the Radar

Chapter 18: Family Matters

It was May 29th they were born. May 29th the met in the outside world for the first time. The children. The only pair in the family. The last of the family.

We're call the first one Girl.

Girl was 10 years when she brought in a homemade potion to school. It was supposed to burst into a million dollar bills. (A trick her dad manipulated her into believing she can do)

Instead it bursted into flames. All the students ran out of the class room and had to stand out side and catch hypothermia in the rain.

The fire department came and assisted the teachers with all the burns of the children. Girl wasn't phased. She just started planning her next potion. Another failed attempt to be a witch.

The fire department were shock that she didn't receive any burns. Taken that her clothes were tattered and crispy. That's a story for another day.

Let's call her brother Boy. Boy wasn't any different. He shape shifted. He could be what ever he wanted. A car? Yes. A Dinosaur? Yes. A land shark? Of course. These are things he shifted into. Frequently.

Boy would watch his parents frantically walk around the house looking for his key.

"I swear to god Dillon! I will rip this girl to shreds!"

"Kristie cool it, you stay with him and I'll pick her up." Boy's father said. She sat as her husband left through door.

"Why does your sister act like that?" The mother said as boy stood infront of her.

Boy shrugged. "She brought a potion to school today"

"I told her not to...." Boy's mom sighed.

"I gave it to her" Boy played with his toys. Then eventually becoming one

"How-I told you not to shape shift unless it was important"

"But I could feel her sadness Mom" Boy said.

The mother sat near him and put him on her lap. "You want her safe right?"

Boy nodded.

"Then don't take unstable things to her school. "

Boy smiled hearing the door close. "She's home! Will she be staying home?"

Mother smiled. "This time she is"

The dad walked in with Girl in his arms. "She put the school on fire."

"Is she ok?!" Mother dropped Boy.

"Yeah, she just fell asleep" Dad smiled.

Girl poked her light blue eyes out of her beach blond hair and beamed.

"She can't go back to school"

Girl turned her face at her dad and laughed. "I'm sorry. Some one needs to teach me!" She squealed getting settled down and the twin walked off.

Boy glared at her. "Why did you do that?"

"Do what?" She asked putting her hair out her face.

"You acted like a little kid."

"It's to keep them in the palm of my hands. Our Christmas party is coming up soon right?And I hate school" Girl shrugged. "You kept up your act didn't you? Cause Christmas party is when ALL the family comes with presents."

"You mean the stupid act that I can feel what you feel?" He rolled his eyes.

Girl smiled. "If you don't mind I have things to do"
