Siete is my brother. Our parents disappeared a long time ago just after we were born. It's why I hate Blinks even more now. Maybe the Blinks were responsible. Maybe... Maybe...

I should stop thinking about Blinks really. I should be waiting to open arms to my brother. I'm not though...

The door screeches open startling me out of my thoughts. "Brother." Siete sighs as he wanders across the warehouse towards me. "How's things been...?" He smirks. We may be twins but we really are nothing alike. Except for our looks - we're identical.

I fold my arms and frown at him. There are two ways he can finish that sentence. I could wait for him to finish his sentence but I know he's to much of a drama Queen to do that without me having to ask him. I think it must be one of his favourite things to do - annoy me at the same time as creating suspense. Which is funny, seeing as there are only two of us in this abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere - it's not like he has an audience. "Finish your sentence, brother dearest." I say sarcastically.

"Well...As you asked so nicely, I will. How's things been with the riddle?"

"How do you think?" I muttered under my breath. He opened his mouth to respond. "Actually don't answer that."

The sound of his teeth slamming together echoes. Neither of us speaks for what seems like forever. When the silence ends, it's Siete who breaks it. "Catch."

I catch the object that seems to appear out of nowhere and come flying towards me. I stare at it for a moment, confused. "It's a horn."

"Well at least I know your eyesight is fine." Siete chuckles. His sarcasm is not appreciated. He rolls his eyes before explaining himself. "If in doubt, sound the horn."

I continue to stare down at the horn for a while and notice that it doesn't take long for his presence to leave...
