The Other Twin

Chapter 10: The Reunion

I drew the above picture. I do not draw male forms very well so that's why they look terrible... Forgive  me oh great Cipher Family. They all "signed" their names, although Bill's is hard to read... why yellow pen? Why?! Anyways... Enjoy!

(Willa's POV)

We reach the complex and I look at my brothers before we walk in.

"Hello, can I help you?" the lady at the desk said in a polite tone.

"Um, yes... We need to rent an apartment that's big enough for possibly four people," I say, just as politely.

"Of course! Rent would be about $1,600 for one month; can you afford that? You also need to get furniture because the apartment is not furnished."

"We can handle the money and the furniture. May we please get four keys?" I ask.

She nods, hands us the key and Bill enters a bank account number. I think he created it a while back when he had considered becoming one with humanity to "study" them.

"Mr. Cipher... ah yes, okay. It has been paid. The apartment number is 3636," the lady smiles and we head in the direction that she was pointing us to.

My brothers and I climbed the stairs and unlocked the apartment, it was roomy, but not terribly vast. With some furniture, it could definitely be a cozy home. We pick out what bedrooms we want. Will wanted whichever room was next to mine, so I pick the room at the end of the hall. Bill was on one side, and Will was on the other. If Kill ever joined us, he would have one next to Bill, they get along well enough. After we had explored the apartment, we started planning décor and interior design.

"Everything should have eyes!"

"Bill, that would creep everyone out!"

"Y-yeah."

"Well, it doesn't matter what you think! I am going to add eyes to my room!"

"If it's in your room, then it is fine, but not all over the apartment. Okay, so we need furniture. Can you guys help me make it?"

They both nod and Bill makes some kitchen ware. We now had a fridge, oven/stove, microwave, toaster, and running water. Will made some bedding and towels and clothing so that it didn't look like we only wore two things. I made the couch, TV, coffee table, bed frames, and the other things like dressers. I even threw in a few things for my brothers. I gave Will an extra blue blanket for at night and I gave Bill a few little pyramids hanging from his ceiling, although, I don't think they know yet. We all helped set up a room for Kill as well, I added a few punching bags and such for him. Now, it was time to see my room. I walk in and I expected plainness. However, my brothers though ahead and made the room to my liking. It was open and there wasn't a lot in there. There was a bookcase, a desk, a bed, dresser, lamp, and that was it. On the desk, sat a journal. I walked over to it and looked at it, it had a brick pattern and had a closed eye on the front.

"So now you can be a nerd like Sixer and record human things," Bill says from behind me, I smile.

Next on the desk was a picture. A picture of my brothers and myself. I picked it up and stared at it. We had taken this back in '98 when my brothers were in the Dreamscape for the holidays. Odd right? Anyways, we all were wearing nice-ish clothing and most of us were smiling. I remember Kill kept making fun of Will, so his hand was in finger gun position. I look mildly nervous and I was. Will and I hadn't had a nice holiday in years. And at the top we all signed our names. Mine was loopy and neat, Kill's was sped through, Will's was small, and Bill's was obnoxious and in a bright yellow. I was the only one to use a black pen. I rub my thumb across the frame and a tear lands on my hand. Will and Bill are already over me and giving me a hug. I embrace them and then we hear a knock at the door. Who knew where we were staying? We all head out and I answer the door.
