Flashbacks
Maddison's POV:
I suddenly woke up to an extreme pain soaring through my body. Sitting up, I let out a screech of pain. I hear a similar sound come from my brother's room. Struggling, I tried to get out of bed and go to my brother. I fell to the floor and layed on the cold ground. Eventually, the pain begins to fade. I waited till the pain was completely gone before going to check on my brother. Walking into his room, I let out a squeal in surprise, seeing that we both are wolfs. Matthew a chocolate colour with blue eyes, and I a honey color with blue eyes. Matt was a little bit bigger than me in size, but we soon realized that I was faster. We decided to go outside, and we ran about chasing each other, playfully fighting and rolling around in the grass. Eventually, we shifted back, laying in the grass. That's when a memory hit me. Let me tell you, it was not a good one.
Flashback:
It was a Friday night four years ago. Both me and Matt were neglecting our homework to play games with our parents. We were mid game when there was a knock at the door. My parents made eye contact before mum ushered us into the basement and told us to stay absolutely silent. Being the rebellious kids we were, we snuck into the living room, not realizing that our parents were coming into the living room. Quickly, I shoved Matt into a closet and I got under the couch by the window. Luckily, mum was smart and got covers that drape down, and our couch as something similar to a block in the front where I could just barely see the intruders, but they couldn't see me. I watched as they started to fighting with the strangers, leading them into the living room. There were 3. A tall one and two short ones. They were all wearing long, black robes with masks.
"WHERE ARE THEY?"
"There not here."
"LIARS! WHERE ARE THEY?"
"I already told you, they're both at work. We don't know where, but they are working."
"GET THEM!"
The tall commanded the two short ones to grab our parents. Using my telepathy, I convinced my twin that they'd be okay, and not to move. Suddenly, we both heard the shot of a gun.
BANG! BANG BANG BANG!
Mum and Dad dropped dead. I wanted to cry, but I tried to stay strong for my twin. The guys went rummaging through the house, looking for us but never found us. Waiting for some time, I told my twin that I'd check if it was safe. I walked around, noting that they'd broken two closets and a desk in the process of searching. The kitchen looked like a wreck, broken dishes everywhere. The bedrooms didn't look any better. Clothes scattered, beds unmade, our homework was scattered around the room, our instruments were smashed and our notebooks were ripped. I almost cried when I saw that my old songbook was destroyed. I went and locked every door and window, turning off every light, lighting two candles instead. Then, I let my brother out of the closet. He had hidden himself under the coats and stuff in our closet. I pulled him out of the closet, immediately hugging him tightly.
"Well, their gone. What do we do now?"
"I don't know. I guess we just have to get jobs and get our degrees. "
"Will we be able to manage?"
I paused for a moment, will we manage? Will we survive?
"I hope so."
End of flashback;
"Mads, you okay?"
I blinked, suddenly becoming aware of what was going on.
"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. just thinking."
Matt didn't look very convinced.
"It's time for dinner, wanna help me?"
He smiled, grabbing my hand and we ran inside to make dinner.
