You were sittingon the bed cross legged looking at the two siblings. You had foundout that they were indeed twins. Lily was the one who was slightlyolder, by only a few minutes. "But...how can you know it is me?"You asked finally and looked at them a bit worried what would happenif they took that in. You wondered if they would believe you and justlet you go. It's not like anyone would believe you if you told themthis. They'd just send you to the loony bin.


"We just do."Jason answered and Lily lets out a giggle at your facial expression.


"It's...hard toexplain. That's what he means." Lily promises, "its more then onething and it will be a long time to explain."


"As long as yourholding me hostage, I've got nothing but time." You point out andboth look uncomfortable about the word 'hostage' but you think it isbest. Not only is it the truth, what they were doing was holding youagainst your will and if you were just all over them right away itwould make them suspicious.


"Well..not onlyis it when we looked at you, even though every lifetime you look verydifferent there is a sense of you." Jason told you and reachingforeword took your hand, "except one thing; your eyes. They arealways that exact beautiful (light/dark/medium) shade of (eye color)"he sighed and Lily continued on.


"Yes, but thereis also more to it; you know how if you see someone and don'trecognize them but you can almost feel like you know them." Lilysmirked and holding out her hand vines and flowers come from her handthat she offered up to you. It took a large (favorite color) rosefully bloomed being cupped in her palm with vies taking the shape ofa small (favorite animal) decorated by miniature petals. She offeredit to you and you hesitantly took it, though it looked so delicate itfelt sturdy.


"We can see youraura Name," Jason added a (favorite flower) slowly blooming fromhis own hand, which he tucked into your (curly/wavy/straight) hair,behind your ear the (flower color) shining brightly against your(hair color) locks.


"My...my aura?"You asked looking between the two and bit your lip. You had heard ofthem of course but to hear it was a little too real. You would havecalled shenanigans but the fact there were some very substantialthings both behind your ear and in your hand.


"Yes, it is sobeautiful Name!" Lily gushed wrapping her hands gently around bothyour wrists. "Every version of you has such beauty in it's ownregard, and your spirit shines through it all. But your aura...oh myyour aura! It's how we knew it was you who was ours." She giggledand something about that freaked you out.


You could feelyour heart beating in your chest, pounding out a tattoo on your ribcage and your entire face felt ice cold and you couldn't focus onanything.


"Name?" Youheard a whisper but seeing the bit you could when your vision wasn'tblurry he looked like he was shouting.


"What's wrong?"This barely whispered word sounded worried and then you were out ofit that you were no longer with them. Colors and sounds slipped byyou so fast you couldn't understand it.


Golden sand...


...brightcheery blossoms falling down onto you
