The Kidnapped Twin, Finally Found (Lenku And Rinkuo)

Chapter 8, Tending the twins

I went around to the back door and went inside, locking the door behind me.
Mom would be home any minute.

I sat down on the couch. I had no idea how bad I looked from getting beat up, hopefully not to bad.

As I waited I thought about Miku and Rin.
They had both been so nice. Nicer than anyone has ever been to me in my whole life.

Here I was the one who did all the chores and made the meals. I was always stuck at home.

But, Getting out of the house had been worth it.
Maybe I got beat up, and it still hurt, but just to meet Miku and Rin, it was worth it.

I would maybe even take a worse beating if I could hang out with them.

Did I hear myself? That was crazy!
But... True.

I heard the front door open and Mom came in, interrupting my thoughts.

I stood up. "Hello mom, how was work?" I took her purse and the groceries for dinner, putting them on the counter.

"Exhausting. I'm gonna go take a nap. Start dinner, would you?" She said, walking to the bedroom.

I sighed. Better see what she got for me to make.

I took out some potatoes, carrots, cabbage and sausage.
So, I would need to boil some water and cook those...

Then there was some biscuit mix and gravy.

Cool. This was a nice easy meal for me to make.

I started some water on the stovetop.

I washed the vegetables and put them in the pot.
I made the biscuit mix and put it in the oven.

Soon dinner was done.

I set the table and as I was doing so the front door opened and in ran Roger and Rosalie, sitting at the table demanding their food.

"Len! Gimme food! Gimme gimme gimme!" Shouted Rosalie, Roger following suit.

I passed them their dinner and they quickly shut up to eat.

They were 2 years younger than my own 14 years of age but acted way younger.

And there were two of them.
There was no rest when they were home.

As soon as they were done eating they ran to the bedroom, shouting.

"Quiet! Mom's sleeping!" I told them. If mom got mad, her anger would be directed at me, I didn't want that.

They slammed the door shut, but then were quiet, so as they played I cleaned up the table and washed the dishes.

When I had finished I was so exhausted.
I sat on the couch, when from the bedroom came a loud crash! I immediately got up and ran to check on Roger and Rosalie. If they were hurt...

I threw the door open and found Rosalie unconscious and Roger staring at her as though confused.

"What happened?" I asked, picking her up and feeling her pulse. She was alive, and it seemed like she was gonna be okay. I sighed, relieved. I looked at Roger and asked again, "what happened?"

Roger pointed to the closet. Looking inside, I found the pole that held the hangers up pulled down and clothes everywhere.

"This hit her in the head?" I asked, holding up the pole.
He nodded.

"Haven't I told you guys not to hang on this?"

He nodded again, looking down. He was never this easy to deal with, but his sister has never been unconscious before, so...

I put a hand on his shoulder.
"It's okay bud. She's okay, and I'll pick this up, so no harm done. Now, go, run along so mom and sis can sleep"

He nodded again and ran out the house.
I watched him leave, and wished I could follow, but instead I started taking the clothes out of the closet and putting them in piles.

Then, I fixed the pole and put the clothes back.

I stood back and looked at what I had just done. It looked back to normal.

I sat on the bed by Rosalie and just leaned back.
God, it felt so good to relax.

Rosalie started to whimper and open her eyes.
I looked over to her.

"Are you alright?"
