FATE: Damaged Fate (Hiatus)

Prologue

"All right, the list of students that are coming here have finally arrived." She excitedly announced. She placed the envelopes on the table. With a sharp knife, she opened them and read the papers. "We got some fancy names in here," she said as she started scanning the pages.

"When are they arriving?" a teenager asked. He's pretty impatient. New visitors always excites him as people do not come often in this place.

"Mid September. The date is not yet set." She continued reading the list of people that will come to the retreat house when her face changed. Her eyes landed on familiar names and faces.

"Why?" the other teenager asked.

She placed the papers back inside the enveloped and stared at the twins. "I have an important task for you two," she said with a sudden change of tone in her voice.

"Task?" the two teenagers asked.

"Important," she emphasized.

The other teenager dropped his book on the table beside him and focused on what she's about to say. The other one sat up straight on his seat.

"There is an unexpected arrival. Bringing them here is a bit troubling."

"Them?" the boy with a messy hair cut her off.

"Two ladies in particular. I need the two of you to protect them. This is important. Nothing must happen to them."

They nodded.

"These are the names. This is how they look," she handed them the papers. I could tell that she's nervous. She looked at me with full of worry on her face.

After studying the faces of the two ladies, they returned the papers back inside the envelope and pushed it back to her.

"Why do we need to protect them? Any reason in particular?" the twin wearing a long sleeved polo asked.

She shook her head, "Just do as I say."

The twins gave her a strange look. They can't argue with her. With that, they just shrugged it away.

"I guess the animals are out now? Should we start hunting?" the impatient one asked.

They both stood up from their seats and went out to hunt.

"Uncle Markl, I did not expect it coming this soon. I thought we would have more time."

"If the universe wishes it to happen sooner, all we could do is prepare for it." I told her.

"I need your guidance."

"I can't stay any longer, my dear. This is not my time. I could only forewarn you about the possible events but even you cannot do anything to detest it. No amount of preparation will be enough for the events that are about to come."

She stared outside. Through the window, she observed the twins. "It's too soon."
