My Vampire Twin

Chapter 7 - Pancakes

Cyrus's POV

I walked towards my room. Holding the handle of my door I slowly turned it and walked inside, closing the door behind me. I sat down on my chair and pulled myself towards my study table, noticing the picture frame with me and my twin sister. I sighed and picked it up. 

"Maybe one day we'll meet again." I smiled and brushed the picture with my thumb.

Mom said that she was taken when we were just a baby. That's why I've been training since I was seven, to protect myself from any harm that might just come. Three years had passed and I had improved my skills quite well. I hear a knock on the door and it slowly opened. I put the picture frame down and stood up. Mom's head peeks from the door and then she smiled gently at me making me smile back. 

"Breakfast is ready." She said when she walks in. 

"It's your favorite." It made me smile. 

"Pancakes?" I asked and she eagerly nodded. 

"Angelica made it for you. She said you were feeling down at your morning practice so she said she wanted to cheer you up." She said and walked towards me.

I smiled slightly but then frowned.

"What's wrong?" She said while lowering herself to my level.

I looked away while trying to hide my tears from her.

"I just feel sad, I don't know why. But every time that I remember my sister it just makes me feel sad. I grew up without her but I feel like I've been with her all my life." I sighed.

"I don't know how she is right now, I don't even know if she knows that she has a brother." I said and looked down.

I couldn't stop myself from crying so I let my hair cover my face while I cried. Mom sighed and hugged me. She knew that I don't want anyone seeing me cry.

"We all miss her, dear." She said while she rubbed circles on my back.

"But I promise that we'll see her again. Training you isn't just to protect you, you know? We will save her one day." She said which surprised me.

Angelica is my trainer aside from Dad, but since that Dad's busy most of the time with his "duties" Angelica comes often to the palace and trains with me. She said that I'm really strong but I can become stronger with a little more practice.

"Really?" I said and immediately wiped my tears away.

"We'll save her? She'll be with us, right Mom?" I asked which made her giggle.

"Of course dear." She said and then caressed my cheek.

"For now, cheer up and get stronger, okay?" She said which made me nod. I smiled.

"I will!" I said. Mom laughed and walked towards the door.

"The food's ready, hurry up okay?" she said and I gave her a nod, she smiled and closed the door when she walked out.

I turned to my study table again and smiled at our picture.

"I'll come and save you one day Celina, just wait for me." I said before turning around and running towards the door.

I know I need to train but I can't miss Angelica's pancakes!
