Warmth in the ice cold Heart

Prologue

Running, running, running.

My 10 year old twin brother, Ethan, and I tried to keep up with each other. Running was the only way to survive.

Turning into an alleyway, we stopped, held our breaths carefully not to alert them. I had only one task that I intended to keep which was to get my brother to safety before myself. In the span of our young lives, I had always been the mature twin.

After taking a quick second to think, I made a decision.

I quickly hugged my brother, looked him in the eye and said," Eth, always remember that I love you so much that it hurts, remember me always. I promise that we'll be together again. You have a wonderful life ahead and I will make sure you get it".

Ethan looked confused and scared when he asked," What are you talking about, sissy? Where are you going? Take me with you".

I replied," No, I will take you to safety and you will NOT come after or with me. I will make sure that you are protected." then, without giving him a chance to protest.

I started saying our special twin lines," Like branches on a tree we grow in different directions"

He said," Yet our roots remain as one"

I said," Each of our lives will always be"

He finished," A special part of the other."

I looked at him and said," I love you, always!"

He said, giving me a nod," Always!".

Then without waiting, I pulled him towards the nearby orphanage whose headmaster was like a father to me. Reaching the door of the orphanage, I was let in by the guard who already knew who I was.

Running straight to the headmaster, Mr. Burkes, office, I barged in with my brother in tow.

Before anyone could process what was happening, I made my brother sit on the couch and quickly pressed his pressure point causing him to get knocked out cold on the couch.

I looked towards the headmaster who silently took in the scene in front of him.

I gave him a quick nod and put my father's locket around my brother's neck which was similar to our mother's locket on my neck.

Mr. Burkes and I silently stared at each other for 5 minutes straight having a conversation through our eyes, he already knew what was happening and what role he had to play.

Receiving a nod of confirmation from the headmaster, I quickly rushed outside to divert their attention.

Unfortunately, I was caught and dragged back to the hell we escaped from a few hours ago.

The only positive and relieving thought running through my mind was that my twin brother was away from it all and was safe.
