Tattoo (A.U FanFic)

Chapter 4

[Luke's POV]
I woke up this morning on the sofa and saw that last night Ember had texted me. I unlocked my phone so I could read the message.

From Little Fire Twin🔥
Luke Robert Hemming. I have captured your dearest penguin and he isn't going to last very long of I do not receive a tub of Ben & Jerry's, pizza, a movie marathon with Jack, Ben, Ash, Cal, Mikey and you, $50 and you to be my personal slave for a week.
Not so sincerely,
Ember Autumn Hemmings.

Shit. She has Penguin. My little baby Penguin. I need him now. The first place I thought of was the attic. I just have a gut feeling that he's up there. I ran upstairs and unlocked the hatch. I pulled down the ladders and climbed up them. There was lots of brown boxes but there was one that wasn't like the others. It had a piece of tight and bright green and yellow fabric on it. I ran over to it and ripped the box open. Lying there in a blanket, was... not penguin. I climbed back down the ladders and shut the hatch. I walked into Ember's room and found her singing.

"How does someone do perfect. Feel so insecure. As to scar her skin with cuts and burns and still want to hurt more.

How does someone so loving. Learn to hate her own guts. Drawing a picture on her arms with a blade. As if her mind isn't dark enough." She sang softly. I waited outside for a few minutes before knocking on the door.

"STATE YOUR NAME AND WHAT YOU WANT!" She shouted.

"LUKE AND I WANT PENGUIN!" I shouted back.

"Come in Lucifer." She said as she opened the door. Sighing, I walked in and plonked myself on her bed.

"Where is Penguin?" I asked.

"I am not telling you but you can have him when I get my stuff." She said. "Wait. Forget the movie marathon and Ben & Jerry's. I just want the money and you to be my slave for a week." She said.

"Okay here is the money." I said handing the $50 bill. "And your pizza is in my room."

She ran out of her room and into mine. She came back a couple minutes later with the pizza box in her hand. She opened it and offered me a slice. Being the pizza hungry guy that I am, I obviously took it. We ate the rest and continued our chat.

"So now can I have Penguin?" I asked.

"First come with me to get a new tattoo." She said.

"Okay." I said. We put on our shoes and got into my car. We drove to her shop and parked into her space. We got out and she opened the doors with the keys. We walked in and she pulled out a sketch. She prepared everything and traced the design onto an empty space on her wrist.

"Do you want to ink me?" She asked handing me the gun.

"Are you sure?" I asked. She nodded. I put on the rubber gloves and began to gently permanently pit the design on my sister. After about two minutes, I had finished. "Done." I said.

"That's amazing to say it was your first time. Almost as good as me." She said in awe at my skills.

"It must be a twin thing." I laughed.

"Yeah." She laughed. "Do you want to know what it means?" She asked.

"Sure. I hardly know what any of them mean." I said.

"Well this one means we write our own story and there are no lives that are already planned." She said explaining her newest tattoo.

"What does that one mean?" I asked pointing to a black and white clock.

"Well. The clock symbolises time and how everyone has it and the melting part of the clock means people waste time and it's like they burn it away doing stupid things they regret." She said.
