Kyra shook nervously still staring at the mirror now holding her wrists together. Diablo sat still in his chair looking back at her who was looking at him with eyes full of questions, “What the hell are you talking about?”

“Kyra…the reflection…is you” he told her.

Kyra shook her head over and over, “Just speak the fucking truth!” she shouted. “That is the truth!” Diablo shouted back. He got up and stomped towards her pulling her out the bed and into the bathroom. He turned on the light holding a struggling Kyra and put her face in the mirror.

She peeked at the reflection and there it was plain and simple; the green eyes, furry face…the wolf. Kyra’s eyes began to water as the reflection itself began to water out the corner of its eye. She shut her eyes tight and screamed, only to hear the faint sound of a shrill howl.

She head butted Diablo sending him tumbling backwards so he’d let her go. She cornered him grabbing him by his shirt collar, “what the hell did you do to me?!”

“I saved your life!” he hollered.

Kyra started to think back…remembering what had happened before she ended up here. She remembered the awful face of her sister and the monstrous claw of Diablo and she looked at him. She slowly let go of his shirt, “your one too aren’t you?”

He attempted to take her hand but she was slowly backing away from him, he sighed. “Yes I am” he admitted. Kyra felt like she was in a twilight zone and needed to sit down. She almost hit the floor until Diablo caught her and sat her down on the edge of the tub in the bathroom.

She was holding her head as the room began to spin. Diablo placed an assuring hand on her knee and all of this electricity and excitement shot through her body. Her eyes glowed orange-red like the sunset and Diablo backed up a little, “we got to get you some air”

He picked her up and cradled her like a baby to the window opening it with his free hand; he placed her on his back and prepared to jump down. “Hold on tight…”

Laurent lay next to Andrea watching her sleep peacefully. Shondra stayed over and ran a few more tests on her before giving her something to fall asleep without harming the baby; when she left Andrea was fast asleep. He looked down at her stomach and smiled placing his hand on her belly, praying that whatever was in there was his to call son again; even daughter he didn’t care he just knew they weren’t going to get rid of this one.

Andrea squirmed when she felt his touch on her skin and snuggled closer into him; Laurent smiled again and kissed the top of her head. His smile soon faded to a frown when he realized that this was much of a repeat of last time and the possibility of him being the dad was slim thanks to his brother. He could pray as much as he wants but if he wasn’t the father he would be crushed. But father to the baby or not Andrea wasn’t killing it this time that was out of the question.

A knock on the door tore Laurent from his thoughts; it was Carter and Blue with a carrying tray of food. They both gave Laurent small friendly smiles as they entered the room. “We figured you’d be hungry since you haven’t really eaten anything all day” Carter stated as Blue sat the tray down.

Laurent looked at the complete filled tray of food, “that’s a lot of food for one person” he joked. Carter chuckled and Blue spoke up, “she has to be starving I'm sure of…feeding for 2 and all”. Laurent nodded, “thank you ladies”

“No problem at all”, both Carter and Blue stared at the sleeping beauty that their friend was crazy in love with, “she is beautiful” Carter commented. “More than she knows” he said stroking her hair gently. Carter smiled admiring his love for her and that’s when she spoke up.

“I think you should see your brother”

Laurent stopped moving as his head rolled slowly to look up at her making sure he wasn’t going crazy or hearing things.

“He’s dying Lau…she’s dying as well, and if you want that baby, your wife and your brother alive this feud is ending right now” Carter demanded putting her foot down. Laurent just stared at her, he knew she was right but Larry was stubborn. But he’d lose his mind if something happened to his twin and the fact that nobody was doing anything about it is what had me him re-thinking his thoughts.

But Larry has crossed the line too many times and needed to be put in his place before that. This needed to be done…now or never.

***

Larry got the call from Diablo earlier that the changing of Kyra has been done. He sat in his chair at his office desk picking at his phone when he winced in pain. His fingers started to hurt again; lately they have been hurting out of nowhere.

He cursed and tried shaking them then noticed the picture of him and his brother. Larry wasn’t so heartless; the picture hit him in the pint of his stomach as he stared at the younger version of himself and his twin. He even chuckled at the bunny ears he put behind Laurent’s head forcing him to laugh because he didn’t want to smile in the picture.

Larry picked up the picture not even realizing he was holding it and just having chronic flashbacks of his childhood. Though they were poor he had to say his childhood was a lot simpler and better than right now. He was almost having a redemption staring at that one picture. His stomach was turning in knots as he felt his emotions taking over him…just to think all of this could have been avoided if he would’ve just listen to his brother. If he didn’t take that silly stroll through the woods, if he’d just took the shortcut home instead…if he would have done everything different.

The guys walked to Larry's office to let him know he had visitors, they stepped in and saw him kneeling on the ground crying and they stopped in their tracks. They didn’t know exactly what it was for but they saw the picture of him and Laurent next to him; he missed his twin.

“Do it…” he sniffled out. They looked at each other confusingly, Larry repeated himself “Kill me…I know you want me dead…and I would deserve it”

They felt for their friend but moved out of the way to let the special guest enter the room, Larry kept talking through his crying, “Just tell Laurent…” he sniffed, “tell my brother…I’m sorry”

The room was filled with silence as footsteps were the only sound to be heard, and then his voice broke through.

“Tell me yourself”

So you're probably thinking...will there be a battle? Will Larry, Andrea and the bay suffer?? Is this a silver lining for all their problems by the twins (possibly) making up??? I am not telling you ANYTHING! Until next week that is :) see all you lovely people next week!
