The Forgotten Twins

The Min Twins, Stolen

POV: Third person

The now eight-year-old twins, who have been nicked named the Min twins, walk hand in hand around the schoolyard. The school located in Zana Sticla, a town in the province of Lern was a tall gothic building painted purple. The town council that directly answers to Duke Kern, thought it would scare children less if it was a 'fun' color. It only added to the creepiness of the K-12 public school, Dalein.

The twins were often alone while their ten-year-old brother Jackson was not around. Jackson went to private school, with the werewolf of Crystal Lake pack. When the twins were six years old the werewolf council 'came out' and for the past two years humans have been trying to co-exist with the supernatural beings they never realized were there. For the twins, though it was not a huge deal, they had seen many different creatures in their many lives. The private school had always been only for werewolves, unknown to humans, now though the duke's oldest son was invited to study there. It was a move by the Crystal lake pack Alpha, Oliver, to foster good relationships. The Crystal Lake pack's territory bordered Zana Sticla so closely that the Duke could walk to the Alphas packhouse from his backyard. Both the Duke's home and the Alphas bordered the lower part of the huge forest that separated Zana Sticla from the 'wild land' that was not inhabited by humans, witches, and nor werewolves alike. The Alpha had invited the Twins to study at the private school, Parel, as well however the duke declined.

The twins were odd to look at, they had gray eyes that seemed to change color, light brown hair heavily streaked with white strains, and to top it all off both had crescent moon birthmarks on their chests over their hearts. This made the Duke wary of putting them anywhere near wolf, or witch kind, which he thought would hurt the Twins for being different. The humans and witches of Dalein avoided the twins because of their looks. Even though their parents insisted they were human, many other parents did not believe them. The witches avoided them due to them not showing any magic skills at the age of eight, and the humans avoided them because they looked scary.

The twins spent most of their time going through their past lives memories, using them to research potential ways to survive the curse. They had learned they had never lived past eight years old, this made them more than determined to survive. This determination made them seem closed off, angry, and scary to not only other children but adults as well. They were very well behaved though, due to them remembering being killed at the slightest disobedience in many of their lives. Their behavior was also seen as odd due to the fact they had accumulated knowledge of hundreds of lives of being children. This made them a bit immature as they had spent so long being so young. This also served to further isolate them from other children who didn't understand perfect obedience or such immaturity.

Unknown to the Min twins there was a duo watching them closely from the other side of the fence and had been for many weeks. This duo was the wanted child r****t and murder the police were currently after. This duo had caused the school to insist all children be picked up by their parents right after school, and teachers to take attendance every class. However, during recess, the quiet and alone Min twins were never watched, as the teachers had other less disciplined children to deal with. As the teacher turned their back to the Min twins the Duo took this as their chance.

POV: Minrowen

"Hey Minrowen, Minreila your Mom sent us to get you" I don't recognize this burly blonde hair man.

"Why?" I find myself asking, Mom usually picks us up at the end of the day so I am curious.

"She said she has to leave for a conference, last minute, and wanted you two at home"

That seems reasonable, Mom and Dad always worry about people being mean because of our looks, the last time she left Aunty came to pick us up. My sister's voice filtered into my head, we have always been able to mind link each other. Every life, we used this to have conversations unheard just like this one.

Yeah, we hadn't met Aunty before she picked us up either, but she had a note? I reply.

"Do you have a note?" My sister's voice sounds a bit unsure now, should we be worried.

"Of course we already handed it to Mrs.Lynn she told us to meet you here at your favorite spot, near the back gate see?" I hadn't noticed the old rusted gate before until he pointed it out, was it always there?

Do we go? Asked my sister, I'm not sure I reply. We both know what disobedience could mean though. Her reply came quick. We should go then I say, I also don't want to anger Mom by making her late for the conference.

Together we walk hand in hand like always to the old gate, it doesn't budge. The blonde man gives it a bit of a tug and it opens. Together we leave.

"Right this way Reila, and Rowen" This is wrong no one calls Minreila Reila, only I get a shortened name.

"HEL-"My sister is cut off as she too realizes our mistake, this man is no friend of Mom.

My vision becomes blurry I think someone hit me? Are we being loaded into their car?
