The Other Side Part 2

73.

Talia's P.O.V
"Why me?"

"Because you are his twin you can guys pretty much have the same brain, you think the same." My mom said to me as everyone was around me in the middle of the woods.

"Your dream was a way you guys connected with each other." Rita said to me.

"Mom I can't my mind is running different ways. Prom is only a few days away, we are in the middle of the woods after midnight, I just learn we are all werewolves and that women is a witch!"

"Hey! I have a name...and feelings." She said crossing her arms.

"Baby I know this is a lot to take in but it's the only way we can find him." My mom said grabbing my hand trying to calm me down.

"We need to leave her here alone for her to focus better."

"No don't leave me here!" I said feeling my heart race.

"No it's okay me, your dad, Dominic, Sarah, Alice and Victor can hear you miles away and will run to your side if anything happens. You know that." I tried calming myself down as everyone started walking away from me except my mom and dad.

"Hey look at me." My dad said to me as he walked up to me knowing I had fear in my eyes. "The moon is your light, the forest is your home. Now close your eyes and listen to your home." I did as he said as my mom slowly let go of my hands. I quickly opened my eyes back open.

"No don't leave!"

"No it's okay I'm still here."

"No I can't do this dad, don't leave me."

"I'm right here but you need to focus if you want to find your brother." I slowly closed my eyes again holding his hands. "Okay now listen to everything around you." I listened and slowly everything became louder and more clear. "What do you hear sweetheart?"

"I...I hear everything." I said smiling with my eyes still closed.

"Do you hear that owl in the trees?" I listened closely and heard it call out.

"I do!" This is amazing.

"How about that deer eating the grass?"

"No she is licking her baby."

"Good! That was a trick question. Now take in a deep breath and really smell the wood off the trees and sweetness of the flowers." I did as he said feeling more relaxed...feeling safe. "Here hold this in your hands." He carefully placed something in my hand. I touched it realizing it was a flower. "Now I want you to really focus for me Talia. Think of your brother, everything about him...the way his voice sounds when he gets nervous, how frizzy his curls gets after showers, how he dances randomly, everything about him." I giggled thinking about everything. "Good now really focus on all of that for me."

"Okay." I did as he said and started thinking of all our memories we made, how much we are alike and different mentally and physically. I felt my body more at ease and safe in woods knowing I've always hated it here once it gets dark but I felt like I fit right in.

Preston's P.O.V
I slept in the bed and couldn't help but think of my family, I missed them so much and was ready to break out of this place once and for all.

I started to dream of me with my family at home, how we did karaoke at Maui's little bar on the beach where mom and dad had their first date. They sang on stage as me, Talia and Jr sat at the table smiling at them seeing how in love they were, it only made me wish I could find that in the future. I then started remembering our little picnics in the woods, it was in this big open field we would go every time someone had a bad day, it was a way to get away from the world. I also remembered how Talia hates it there after dark. I missed her the most, my twin. I looked to her as she looked scared as the sun began to set. "Hey little sis it's okay." She smiled to me making a face. "You're only older by a minute!" "And 24 seconds!" I said making her push me. "There's nothing to be scared of, I'll be here to always protect the family." "What happens if you can't?" I looked away for a moment thinking of an answer. "You see this?" I said as I put my hands up. "What? The trees?" She said confused and laugh. "Yes the trees, the woods, this forest." "What about it?" "I will always be somewhere in the woods, moving through the wind and leaves to get to where you all are. And if I can't get to you, you'll get to me." She smiled to me and hugged me. "We will find you Preston I promise." She whispered to me. "What?" "We will bring you home Preston, I promise." I looked at her as everything began fading away. "Wait no! Talia what do you mean! Talia!"

I sat up feeling my heart race. These stupid dreams. I rubbed my hands on my face trying to calm myself. I keep having these dreams of me and Talia talking as if she was really here, I wish it were real.

Talia's P.O.V
"Follow the woods." I whispered as I opened my eyes. "Follow the woods! I know where he is!" I screamed getting excited as I saw everyone run to me.

"How?" Jr said confused

"He told me!"
