The Underworld

Chapter 1

March 15, 2018

Its been four months since Tal was taken by his father. Four months of torture for April and Tal. April is slowly getting use to the hole in her heart, with the help of Kyle. Kyle has been helping April coupe with her 'Loss.' April is still going to school, acing all of her classes, participating in school activities, and going to support her school at sporting events.

April did miss Tal, she missed how he would walk with her in the hallways of the school and listen to her ramble on about something. April thinks about how things that night would have gone differently if she had powers. April has been hiding her emotions lately for her friends and family's sake. So they will stop asking if she's okay.

April was standing at her locker staring into her locker at her chemistry book. Amanda walked up to her, noticing April staring into her locker. "Hey. Are you okay?" Amanda asked putting her hand on April's shoulder. April shook her head, "Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired." April said grabbing her chemistry book. Closing her locker, April noticed that Amanda was staring at her. "What?" April asked looking at Amanda. "April, it's okay not to be okay." Amanda said giving her sister a faint smile.

April swallowed the lump in her throat, "I'm fine, Amanda. I really am. Hey what time is Stiles and Scott's game tonight?" April asked walking past her sister. Amanda turned and walked with her sister, "six tonight. I'm going to see if Mom can bring the twins." Amanda said smiling. April thought of Amanda and Stiles twins, which brought a smile to her face.

"I think the twins would love to come see their dad play." April said smiling. Amanda and Stiles had the twins in January, two beautiful girls. They named them, Lily and Elizabeth. April couldn't have been more happy for them. Nora didn't take it well, until the girls were born and she instantly was okay with it. When Amanda was in the hospital, she was having the babies and Stiles fainted twice, seeing Amanda in pain and then the blood.

April giggled, "Why are you giggling?" Amanda asked looking at her sister. April looked at Amanda. "Just thinking about how Stiles fainted twice while you were having the twins." April said smiling. Amanda chuckled, "Yeah, That was pretty funny." Amanda said thinking about Stiles fainting.

April and Amanda turned to go into their chemistry class. Stiles and Scott were in there already, Stiles looked up and saw Amanda and instantly smiled. Amanda walked up and pecked his lips, April just sat down in her assigned seat. "She's thinking about the time you fainted twice while I was having the twins." Amanda said smiling at Stiles. Scott chuckled, "I remember that." Scott said smiling. "Please take your seat please!" The teacher shouted walking into the classroom.

Amanda pecked Stiles lips again before sitting next to April. April glanced back at Stiles, she couldn't help but to feel guilty for treating Stiles like a stranger. He reminds her of Tal, considering Stiles and Tal look exactly alike. The teacher set his papers down, "Now open your books to page 74-75 and begin the experiment. Everything is in front of you guys." The teacher said smiling. April looked at her chemistry book, she glared at it.

Flashback
April and Tal sat at the table in chemistry, as they were just assigned to dissect a frog. Tal watched as April wrote down her notes, sticking her tongue out slightly as she wrote down her observations. April glanced at Tal, "You should write down what you see." April said pointing at the cut open frog. Tal narrowed his eyes a bit, "Let me see your pencil?" Tal asked holding his hand out. April handed him her pencil, he grabbed his note book. He began writing down his observations.

April looked at the frog again, she picked up the poking rod. April poked the small lungs, "Poor little guy, one of his lungs were smaller than the other." April said pouting. Tal glanced at her and wrote something down. April looked at Tal, "Can I have my pencil back?" She asked putting the the poking rod down. "Hang on." Tal said writing down the rest of his observation.
