Smoke and Pine

About Us

"Eris!" My brother Kalen called my name while banging on the bathroom door. "Come on I have to pee!" 

I laughed at his kitten sized bladder and finished off my makeup by applying mascara. Looking into the full length mirror behind the door, I finally looked the way I wanted to. My brother and I both have heterochromia, so our left eye is brown and our right eye is blue. Being heterochromatic has always been a struggle for myself personally. It provides the struggle of the finding the right colors of eyeshadow that'll flow. Nonetheless, I guess it was always a good thing I've enjoyed neutral shades, with sometimes a crazy lip color.  

Other than our heterochromia, we also have raven dark hair. It never tangles or frizzes. It was simply perfect. We truly looked stunning in human eyes. Incomparable.  I am petite like my mother was. Whereas Kalen is slender as our father. We both have a fair complexion that makes us look iridescent when the sun hits us just right. We both know in human eyes, we dripped good looks, but for all we knew we were plain in werewolf standards.

Kalen constantly has girls throwing themselves at him shamelessly, in hopes of being his first girlfriend or more. None the wiser to what he really is. He may be an entire flirt, but he has pure werewolf morals. He's waiting for his mate.

I, on the other hand, no one ever speaks to. I hear their praise through whispers to their friends, but no one expect Alicia has ever even tried to befriend me. Although Kalen's friends Jeremiah and Kristopher are constantly are trying to hit on me, but all in good fun. Together we have a small friend group.

"Fine, I'm going to pee on your pillow!" Kalen shouted. I hastily unlocked the door in time to hear his footsteps run to my room. 

"No! Please Kalen, stop acting like a fucking dog!" I screamed in his direction before my father gave us both a disapproving glare from his bedroom doorway. Kalen smirked at me while waltzing into the bathroom, "Thanks baby sis." He winked at me before closing the door.

Turning to face my father, "He pisses me off."

"You're twins." He chuckled, and went downstairs to make his morning coffee. 

Kalen drove us to our last day of school before graduation. Just another day for our principle and class president to beg us to attend as the valedictorians, but we both agreed we won't be going. We will collect our diplomas in the mail. But today was the day we needed to say goodbye to our friends. 

As we arrived, we were bombarded by the principle and class president Liza.

"Please, you have to come to graduation! You have to give us an all inspiring speech! It's once in a lifetime!" Liza pleaded with us. We shook our heads and replied at the same time, per always, "We're leaving for the Alaskan snow Academy of soccer and local college tonight. It looks like it's a once in a lifetime opportunity we're giving up. We do wish you good luck Liza." 

She stared at us, eyes huge. Everyone hated when we spoke at the same time with the exact same words. We can't help it though, its who we were. We just wish we had our third. Everyday we felt a small empty part of ourselves, where our connection with Esha should've been. As we walked off arm in arm, Kalen's usual girl squad travelled behind him, in hopes of being noticed. 

We parted ways at our homeroom and split across the classroom to drag our friends to the middle. As we met back up and took our usual spots in the front and center of the room, Alicia was the first to speak. 

"Ya yeet!"
