Come

Genesis: Why are you afraid?

Hi guys! If you've read For the Murder of Evil, this is the book that has Reiji! But he's not in this part. He will be in chapter one though.

And I want to say one thing before you ask. No. No matter how similar they are, I came up with Elsa's name before Frozen even came out. TTFN!

Psalms 27:1-3 NLT

The lord is my light and my salvation- so why should I be afraid? The lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble? When evil people come to devour me, when my enemies and foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident.

??? POV:

In the beginning, I just want you to

Imagine:

A neighborhood, on a hill, with two teenagers walking. These two teenagers look very different, for one is a girl with green eyes and her red hair in a huge braid, the boy with his red hair that he dyed black and gelled to stand up. The girl had an oversized t-shirt, short jeans, and light red lipstick, the boy so goth that he wears black studded boots, black shirt, black mascara, and blackish lipstick.

Believe it or not, these two are twins.

And somewhat identical at times, both with green eyes, gorgeous red hair, and an unconditional love for both music and God. See? They're even wearing crosses around their neck as a sign of their faith.

They seem to be walking home. They talk about how nice summer is, and how sad they're going to be when they go off to different colleges; the girl for singing, the boy for drums.

The girl is carrying a small backpack. She takes out some music sheets and sings from it. The boy grins and pats a beat on his legs. When it gets to a crescendo, the boy puts his hands into fists and mimics playing the drums. The girl stops singing and looks at him, and they both start laughing. As they reached a house, I could tell you more about them, since the details became clear.

I wonder what... made Titus not tell them about him. Maybe they could have stopped it from happening... but it's too late now. Besides, I never would've met them if it didn't happen.

The boy opened the gate for his sister, and then opened the door too. But as soon as they walked into the main room, they saw a handsome man with black hair on the floor with a kitchen knife through his back.

The girl fell on her knees, tears flowing, while she was also trying to suppress a sob. "Father..." she murmured, crying.

The boy clenched his fists, wondering why someone would kill a loving person such as their dad, who would never think ill of anyone, since he loved God too.

"No... why?"

The voice came from behind them, so the twins turned around to see a man about as old as the dad. He could be considered handsome with his cropped blond-brown hair that was neatly combed and his blue eyes that were usually sparkling. Alongside with their dad and God, he was like a father to them, and they trusted him no matter what. He was a slightly successful scientist with a doctor's degree along with their dad, and they together made some local fame and not too bad money. He was the twin's godfather, Dr. Titus Perez.

He dropped some groceries that he was carrying. The twins could tell how upset he was. He wasn't smiling or making jokes like usual, and he knew their dad since the two men were two years old.

Titus went to his knees. "How is this possible? I... did everything you asked. Why is it... like back then again?"

"Uncle Titus, is there something the matter?" The girl still had tears in her eyes.

He flinched, then kneeled down a little, putting one hand on the boy's shoulder, the other on the girl's. "Vlad, Elsa. I'm sorry, but you need to understand that I'll probably never see you ever again."

The twins' eyes widened. "Why Uncle Titus?" Elsa was crying even harder. "Why are you leaving? Shouldn't we be in this together?"

Titus smiled sadly, wiping some of her tears with his finger. "Don't cry. Why are you afraid? The Lord will always be with you, and in a way, I'll be with you in here." He gently laid his hand on her collarbone, but drew it back, hesitating.

Then, he said something Elsa and Vlad would never forget. "But you need to understand. I never really liked you kids at all. I only pretended to like you for your dad."

Elsa stopped crying, and she and Vlad looked at their trusted godfather. "What?"

Titus smiled. "I actually hated you two."

He handed Vlad a small red beanbag, and Elsa leaned onto Vlad to look at it.

"Oh, and that's a bomb. You're going to die."

Vlad and Elsa widened their eyes. But before they could scream, there was a flash of blinding light.

To this day, I still wonder why Titus lied twice to them.
