Elements: Illusions of Revenge (Book 2)

Hospital (Chapter 21)

Sun shines down from the highest point in the sky. People are sitting and eating lunch, or working away at their jobs while munching on something.

Brenton is sitting in front of Zack, trying to get him to open his mouth and eat his lunch but the little kid refused to do so.

"Oh please Zack? You don't even want to eat it yourself! What do you want?" Brenton sighs, a begging look in his eyes. "C'mon buddy, you're making me sad."

"No sad!" Zack cries out and jumps into Brenton's arms. "Bren no sad!"

"Well then, maybe you should eat your lunch," Brenton keeps up his act, as Zack backs away and opens his mouth wide.

"Thank you Zack, now I'm very happy," Brenton smiles brightly as he feeds Zack his lunch.

After finishing his food, Zack claps his hands together and smiles up at Brenton with happiness. "I love yoo Bren!"

"Aw, I love you too Zack," Brenton ruffles the baby's red locks. "Like Tim and Tina...I miss them..."

"I miss too," Zack pats Brenton's hand.

"Urana's here, Brenton," Carol tells him as Urana walks into the room.

"Stay for as long as you like," Tyler calls out.

"Hey Brenton," Urana starts.

"Hey Urana, good to see you," Brenton smiles before scooping up Zack and walking towards Urana. "Zack, meet Urana. Say hi if you want."

"Hi!" Zack cheerfully waves. Brenton and Urana look surprised that he easily accepted the stranger. Zack reaches towards Urana and she carries him.

"Wow...he never warms up that fast," Brenton nods happily.

"Must be because I'm your twin?" Urana guesses. "I might have the same awesomeness when it comes to kids."

"Bruh, you're the smartest in school. You're good at everything so there's no doubt about you being good at this," Brenton replies.

"Flattering, but you're the best," Urana admits, playing with Zack.

"Thanks, you wanna go for a walk?" Brenton suggests, looking at Zack's sleepy face. "It's their nap time."

"Oh, well a walk sounds good. I need to talk to you anyway," Urana places Zack into the empty crib she assumes is his.

"What's it about?" Brenton looks confused as they both head towards the door. "Carol, Tyler, I'm just going out for a walk!"

"Be back before dinner!" Carol calls out.

"She's making your favorite!" Tyler adds and Brenton silently cheers to himself.

"So, what's up?" Brenton asks once they're on the sidewalk.

"I was just wondering, this twin telepathy thing or connection or whatever the heck it is...do you think that it might be able to tell if one of us is feeling any emotion? Maybe it's only really strong ones?" Urana questions.

"Ugh, heck if I know, if I did I would tell you. But in all the stories that's how it works," Brenton answers, putting his hands in his pockets.

"Right? A lot of the stuff kinda works like in the movies and what not. Haha, our life has literally become a movie," Urana laughs.

"It definitely has. Just without the saving people and making hard decisions parts," Brenton laughs along.

"And the weird love stories and we're still in school which I'm worried will be hard," Urana adds.
