Infamous: Early winter ("Infamous Second Son" fanfiction)

#17

Writers note: Back to Gwen 

I moved myself from my back onto my side, breathing out with a long silent huff sound. I rubbed my eyes, but didn't bother to open them. 

"Gwen, can you hear me?" i felt how the side of the matress went down a bit under someones weight. I smiled sleepily as i recognised the voice. I reached my hand towards him. 

"Yes" i whispered. He pulled me into a gentle hug 

"Oh Gwen..we were all so worried" he said into my ear.

"We?" i asked while sliding my arms around him.

"Yes, me and Fetch, also that guy you saved. I think he's called Roger" 

"Oh. He talked to me" i kept holding on to him.

"How..you were asleep?" Delsin sounded confused.

"He is a telepath. He can talk to people through their minds. Looks like he is powerful enough to get through the defence barrier i have" i let go of him and looked at him.

"Your eyes..they changed again. This time..electric blue" he had one brow rised.

"I guess we have to get used to this." i kept myself in sitting position. "My hair is so light coloured.." i added while looking at a strand. "And was i out for days or weeks?" i looked back at him.

"Almost 2 weeks" he answered and took my hand.

"No wonder i feel so odd." i moved towards him and rested my head again to his shoulder. As soon as he had wrapped his arms around me, i felt myself how i tazed him. I flinched away

"Ouch.." he moved a bit away as well.

"I'm so sorry" i backed away against the wall. "I didn't mean to do that. I swear"

"Sweetie, i know." He cot closer "You'll just need to control it" 

"Don't come closer" i'm not sure what i might do next" i jumped off the bed and almost fell onto the floor, but instead stayed floating in the middle of the air, feeling like my blood had turned into fire. The pain went to the point i didn't hear my own screams while bolts of lightning flickered all over my body, forming some sort of force field. Everything ended just as fast with the windows getting blasted broken. I staied on the floor, breathing heavily, skin lightly glowing.

"Gwen..calm yourself" i heard Del press through his teeth as he was on the other side of the room, infront of that part of the wall what had suddenly cracks in it, on the floor. I rolled onto my back

"A..are you o..okay?" i asked 

"Uh..yeah. Just didn't see that coming" he said while getting up. I pushed myself up as well.

"I hate this all. These power things. Like i didn't have enough problems with only ice powers" i looked how my skin and hair turned back to their original colour.

"It's just a matter of controlling it." he added.

"How can you still put up with all of this?" i asked after a heavy sigh and stepped closer to him.

"Because.."he pushed a strand of hair out of my face and behind my ear "..nothing can interfere true love" he softly kissed my forehead.

"Thanks for reminding me this" i smiled and felt my cheeks take slight pink colour. I...actually we both heard my stomach loudly rumble. I looked up at Del, then we both started laughing. At least i'm working normaly now"

"You should eat. Come" he put his arm around me and walked me to the kitcken.

"What do you mean there is something crazy going on?" i asked while holding my phone to my ear as i was busy talking to Lyall.

"Agh..i don't know how to explain it! I just...just..hmm.....feel...a bit odd around Eugene" she replied with nervous tone.

"If you are blushing right now, you might have a crush on him. Nothing to be scared of. You two are quite a couple" i said with a slight smile.

"OOooohh..." i heard her gasp "Is that possible?" she asked.

"Yes it is possible. What kind of question is it anyway?" i smirked.

"Oh i got to go. E is back." she said lastly before ending the call. I continued walking towards home after spending almost the whole day away hanging out with Fetch and Roger. Looked like these two were a couple. My line of thought got interrupted by another call.

"Did something happen?" i asked immediately as i picked up Delsins call.

"Why was that the first question? Have i done anything before?" he asked back with playful tone.

"We talked in the morning and you knew i'm going to hang out with one of our friends, so i didn't expect a call from you yet" i answered and smiled.

"Anyway..how far are you? Coming home already?" 

"I'm on my way home. So what?" i turned curious.

"Oh nothing..nothing. I'm already missing you, that's all. Actually i was worried if you suddenly have new powers kicking out." 

"I'm completely fine. I promise. I'm just 5 minutes away from home." i said and felt how i bumped into someone. Our eyes met and locked for a moment. The person was taller than me, a guy. Had the same eyecolour as me and had a hoodie on, the hood covering his head. 

"Sorry" he said and smiled knowingly, then continued walking. I stood still, looking after the guy. I felt extremely strange. As if i had seen him before. 

"....Gwen?...Gwen!?" Delsins voice brought me back to reality.

"I'm so sorry. I walked into someone" i apologized and continued walking.

"Aw, you turned clumsy, how adorable" he used more girly tone.

"Shush. And see you back at home." i ended the call

"Gwen, someone left you a letter to your mailbox" Delsin walked in with an envelope. "I noticed its corner sticking out of the mailbox on the first floor" he explained and handed it over.  

"Thank you" i moved myself to sit and took the envelope, then opened it while Del went to the bathroom. I took out the piece of paper with neat handwriting.

I spent whole night to think out what to say in this letter for you. So i decided to go straight for the point. You have a twin brother. Oliver Harlow. You saw me yesterday. The person you walked into was me. I could have told you the truth right there, but i didn't want to scare you. If you want to talk more, let's meet up today? At 3 pm the same spot where we met yesterday.

Your brother, Oliver

I felt like i had swollowed down a huge bubble of air. I felt like i was dreaming. Did i really have a brother? A twin brother? How did our lives got separated? Why my parents never told me about my twin? Where has he been all this time? I was curious and of course i wanted to meet that guy again to get answers to my questions.
