(Skyler left and Tyler right)
Skyler is a teen girl, the age of 16. Her twin sister, Tyler is 16 as well. They were never popular in school but they did go to the same art school as some of their childhood acquaintances. One day they get invited over to a sleepover at one of the art girls house. The two, not being popular, thought this was a great chance to get to actually interact with the other girls from their school.
They were told that they should bring camping gear because everyone was going to spend the night in the forest. The girls house that they were going to spend the night in was Jennifer's. The kindest and rather popular girl in the school. Jennifer had invited her two friends, Emily and Jasmine. Emily brought her boyfriend, John, and Jasmine brought her boyfriend, Eric. Jennifer also invited her boy friend (they are not dating he's just her friend that's a boy) Jorden.
Skyler, being the paranoid one, packed everything. Tyler, being the impatient one, was just walking around the house. "Are we going to go yet?!" Tyler asks her twin.
"One second! Heath kid, towels, matches, lighters, water purifier, pocket knives, hunting knives, food, bottled water, more health stuff, mosquito spray, candles, flairs, bow and arrows, quiver for arrows, more food, more bottled water, more matches, walkie talkies, batteries, big tent, spare little tent, four sleeping bags, and two pistols. .... Check!" Skyler says with glee.
"Geez sky. We're not going to be in there forever."
"I know, Tyler. I'm just being prepared."
"Then..... IM BRINGING MINI KATANAS!!!!" Tyler runs up stairs.
"I better get my throwing knives then." Skyler says and goes to get them.Skyler and Tyler aren't your average teenagers. They were born and raised in a hunting family. Their parents and their parents parents and generations before have hunted. It was in their blood. They learned how to hold and shoot a gun when they were 5. Skyler was more of the silent one so she preferred knives and bow & arrows. Tyler on the other hand was more of the hyper one and she preferred long blades and guns. But both of them know how to use every weapon you could think of. Their parents died when they were 12 so, they had to live with their uncle who was nice but was really against the "hunting" thing. So, Skyler and Tyler couldn't go out on hunting season. So, they just practiced for the day they could actually go out on hunting season. They were always left out in school but they didn't mind. They had each other and that was enough for them.
"Skyler lets go!"
"Coming!"
The two now start their unforgettable journey.
