chapter 4

•sophies pov•
Im so close to her
I can feel it
I walk up the road near the palace where erika lives.
You see, me and her where split up for life. We where meant to be split up for good. Where twin sisters.

And where lost without eachother.

I called my house maid -or should i say palace maid- to clean up all the mess my dumbass brother jake made.
"Sooooo..." i mumbled
"Yes" jake and ernie asked
"Your both demons"i rubbed my temples trying to get the concept into my head
"Yes" they chimed again
"And i can prove it!" jake yelled and it scared the shit out of me
"Jesus christ jake are you high on bubble tea again??? Or is it slushie???" I yelled back at him
"Dont be ridiculous, erika" he laughed rubbing his hands together, a red light forming between his palms.
"W-what are you doing?"i nervously backed away
"Dont worry, erika. Its only manadye" jake smiled warmly at me, the light glowing brighter and flowing more freely in his hands, like water. He closes his eyes and mutters something under his breath and in his hand appears a 1 pence.
"Dammit" he cursed kicking my dresser, knocking a few more items over.
"Could you be more carelful around her stuff?" Ernie asked jake
Jake just rolled his eyes again and tried to do his 'manadye' again
Ernie started laughing when jake failed once again to make a £1.
"You-you really are bad at man-manadye"ernie was laughing so hard, probably just to annoy jake.
"Bye erika. Ive got to go the devil wants me" jake saluted at disappeared into thin air.
Ernie looked at me and smiled innocently and played with stitching of the mattress on the bed. "Im only joking you know" he sighed
"I know" i said, patting his shoulder and getting up from my space on the bed next to ernie.
I opened my door and looked out of it. There was no one there. I motioned at ernie to come to me
"I need some fresh air" i whispered
We crept down 2 flights of stairs until we got to the ground floor of the palace and i opened the door.
"After you" i whispered to ernie
"No after you" he whispered back
"No i insist"
"No i insist more"
I sighed and went before him outside into the freezing weather. The street was icy and cold and i could see my breath in the air. I could also see a blur. A shape. A outline. Of a human. A girl. My age. Pretty.
She came closer and asked me one question:

"Are you erika?"
