She could feel her blood run cold as the older female floated towards her. Her long brown hair flowed behind her as she stopped right in front of Emma. The yellowed-eyed female tried to speak but the words halted in her throat, almost stopping her airflow in the process. Jeanette reached into Emma's pocket and pulled out the metal ball inside her pocket. She looked at it for a few seconds before letting it fall to the ground, hearing it crash to the ground a few seconds later

Jeanette smiled sweetly at the Emma before going back to her sister. Was this a trap? Did they plan this? She started to wonder how Denise's familiar was cursed. Someone else had to be here to cast a spell, or maybe. No, Denise wouldn't do that to her own familiar. Maybe she would, Emma has only just met her. She started looking closer and noticed something on Denise's left cheek, a birthmark. Emma remembered that her next-door neighbor, Dequan, was given a task to hunt down twin witches. In the description he was given, one the witches had a birthmark in the same spot. He never did come back. And she now knows why. The two female in front of her was wanted all over the country. The chaotic twins with remarkable powers. They could destroy cities in seconds. But what did they want with her?

She was snapped back into reality by a warping sound. Then she wrapped into a blue and white bubble. What in the hell was happening? Her train of thought was stopped when Denise spoke up

"Alright, enough with this silent treatment. You want answers and we have them. So let's get down to business, shall we? I'm Denise Gao and this is my sister, Jeanette Gao. But I'm pretty sure you already figured that out by now. And I can bet you already know how popular we are and what you have heard about our powers, the power of time and the power of the wind. Deadly combo. And you also wanna know why we have our eyes set on you. It's easy, really, we just wanna help you. We know about your plan to bring down the brain and we are all for it."

That surprised Emma, to say the least. She wasn't even gonna ask how they know about er plan. The question on her mind was why would they want to help?

"Why do you even care? What do you get out of taking down the brain?"

"That is our business and our business alone. All you have to know is that we are on your side. So enough this chit-chat, let's shake on our partnership. We can even make it temporary if you like."

That was when Jeanette finally decided to speak up. "Also, just so you know, we have no evil intentions. Nor good ones, matter of fact. We are just a very chaotic neutral. And believe me, we have done more good than bad, but the brain always changes what we do to make it seem like we are doing such evil and harmful things. One of the very reasons we aim to take them down."

The bubble disappeared and Emma landed on the ground safely. Emma looked at the twins, wanting to know more about them but didn't have enough time as a roar punctured the air. And then something sinister happened. She could see the female's eyes gleam with what she thought was bloodlust and excitement. They charged towards the roar and Emma could do nothing but follow them.
