Mya's eyes opened quickly, her body shooting up into an upright position. Her breathing was shallow and uneven as she looked to her left. She felt herself begin to relax as she looked Rose and Gray up and down. Their eyes were shut peacefully, and Rose's long, curly, blonde, was sticking up in multiple places as she rolled over in her sleep, whilst Gray had his black locks pulled up into a man bun. Mya felt a soft smile tug at her lips and the memory of when she found the teen abandoned as a child in an alleyway suddenly popped into her mind.
'You've both grown so much since then...' She thought to herself.
Their home was small, but they made do. It was much better than the cold and utterly terrifying streets they were subjected to when she first found them. She remembered, taking them home with her; two small, malnourished children, not over the age of 5 or 6. Her mother lost it when she walked upstairs, into her bedroom, and found them both tucked in her bed. Shortly after that, her father had decided that she brought them back to where she had found them, or they would kick her out of the house. She was only fifteen. Although, she wasn't that upset with them anymore since her parents ended up being the ones that unlocked her gifts.
Mya still thanks the heavens above that her grandfather had shown her sudden kindness when the three showed up on his doorstep, taking them in until Mya had enough funds to buy an apartment, and they had been living a somewhat peaceful life ever since.
That was when she discovered the twins had gifts too. They had tried to hide it from her for the first few months of living with her, but as soon as Mya realized she had slight telepathic powers, she discovered it in the first few hours that very day.
She rolled out of their bed, making sure not to disturb the other two, who were sleeping soundly. She went over to grab her clothes of the day and headed towards the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, she sighed, her hair and body practically begged her to take a shower. She stripped out of her P.J's and stepped into their small bath/shower combination, and turned the shower-head on. She felt her muscles relax and let her eyes close as the warm water travelled down her body.
This was one of the only times in the day that she could let go of the stress and tension that the day brings. It was rather sad, or at least in her mind, it was; that the only time she gets peace is when she takes a long, soothing shower. But she wouldn't complain, she was blessed.
Once she was done washing herself, she stepped out, dried herself off with a towel, and threw on her white tank top, black leggings, and red plaid jacket overtop.
"Mya! Breakfast is ready!" Rose shouted from the other room.
She smiled, quickly brushing her hair and exiting the bathroom. She looked over to the tiny table by their rundown oven and small kitchen sink. Gray was sitting down in one of the three wooden chairs, and Rose was hovering over The counter as she prepared their meals.
"I made pancakes." Rose stated happily, setting down a large platter of the mouthwatering food, alongside the maple syrup.
She took her seat across from the two teens and chuckled as Gray stabbed four of the largest pancakes and tossed them onto his plate. Rose rolled her eyes.
"Jesus Gray at this rate, you're gonna eat the entire platter." She remarked, causing Gray to attempt at saying a comeback but all that was heard was "Shps yiu bahect!"
Mya burst out into laughter but was interrupted at a knock at the door, and the three fell silent. The two twins looked at each other for a moment, both their gazed filled with confusion as they waited for Mya to say something. Mya closed her eyes, trying to focus on whoever was outside.
'Not a bunch of people...But not a neighbour either... Only two people...Something is off.'
"Gray, get the lights and then both of you get into positions," She instructed, trying to keep her cool. They've done this thousands of times, this time would be no different.
