Two Brothers

Chapter 5: To Home

The four continued through the woods, the sound of snapping wooden twigs underneath their feet made George jump, not feeling completely safe as he scanned the area with frightful eyes and let out a small whimper.

Keeping an eye on the two boys, Oliver kept close to George whilst he lightly coughed again.

Adjusting his dark brown leather gloves, Caleb looked back at George with a blank expression, just managing to see his face as the milky moon's light shone between the gaps as he slowed down, just being behind Oleg.

Meanwhile, Oleg was leading the group mostly looking to the right hand side as the lantern lit up the path between the trees.

"We need to ask which village they come from."

Whispered Caleb as he guided Oleg around the trees to the left of them before turning his head to look at an irritated and sleepy looking Oliver and a terrified looking George.

Oleg made a sound in agreement as he nodded his head once.

Placing his hands in the pocket of his knee length black trench coat, Caleb cleared his throat before deciding to speak louder.

"So. Which village do you kids come from?"

Questioned Caleb sounding curious, looking over at the brothers but not at one in particular.

"What's it got to do with ya?"

Oliver snapped as he answered, glaring at Celeb with folded his arms and his slender eyebrows furrowed together.

"So we know which way to go through the forest. Duh."

Caleb answered with one of his eyebrows raised up looking at Oliver like he was stupid.

"H-he has a p-point brother."

George agreed.

He looked up at Oliver with large eyes before nervously looking over at Caleb

"We ain't telling strangers where we-"

Started Oliver with irritation in his voice.

"W-we come f-from W-Woodvale."

Interrupted George with a nervous smile on his face, much to Oliver's dislike who scowled at George before shaking his head lightly.

"God's sake. What is the little guys problem?"

Questioned Caleb as he slightly smirked again, looking over at George with calm eyes.

George lightly shrugged as he slightly tilted his head and closed his eyes. Lightly chuckling, Oleg looked back at the three as he kindly smiled, not fully aware of what was going on.

"Where are our manners. We haven't introduced ourselves."

"The name is Oleg and this is my twin, Caleb."

He kindly introduced, gesturing over to Caleb who's smirk turned into a small smile.

"I'm George! Th-this is my .... b-brother, Oliver."

George introduced in return as he smiled slightly and opened his eyes again with Oliver giving George an irritated look, not liking how trusting the dog was to them.
