Chapter 1: A thousand or more years later...

Beth's POV:

I was in a room, with no windows, with no colors but one. Darkness! It was pure darkness, so pure, that I couldn't even see my own hands. 'Where am I?' I asked myself, not knowing I was speaking out loud.

Then I heard whispers, a lot of whispers. It became louder and louder. It was like a thousand old grandpas and grandmas speaking at the same time. I was only able to catch some words.

'Where am I?!!! That's what she says when she is summoned to the holy grounds?'

'Who is she? Or, what is this beast?'

I seriously don't know where I am, or what I did wrong?!!!

'You guys are scaring the poor child...' I heard another person's voice. She sounded younger, more ladylike, maybe in her 30s.

Everything became quiet suddenly.

'Now, Angela. Did you summon her?' I heard another Grandma's voice. Her voice sounded gentle and sweet.

'No, mother. I didn't. I don't know. I think she came by her own will.' The young lady, Angela answered.

'Her own will?'

'How can anyone...'

'She is the one! That is a wicked sign!'

'We are doomed!'

'She is coming back for revenge!'

Revenge? Angela?

There were hundreds and hundreds of whispers again. My head started pounding, it hurt terribly. I don't know why, but I started to scream. I didn't even know I could scream so loud.

'You... you... are the chosen one... you will be the one to...'

That was the last whisper I heard...

"Sis, sis! Beth, Elizabeth. Don't scare your brother like that! Wake up!"

"Tobias!' I shouted as I woke up. 'Wait... Where am I? I was in a dark room..."

"Sh... It's Jayden. It was just a dream, okay? Now, now... Don't cry anymore, ok? Who the hell is Tobias? Why are you saying a boy's name in your sleep? No, that's not important right now... Damn it! Do you not like your new room? If not, we can always change it. I knew staying up here all by yourself was a bad idea."

Jayden Wulfhart was my twin older brother, but we looked nothing alike. Jayden looked exactly like my mother, while I did not look like either of my parents. However, they have told me that I looked just like my great grandmother. Jayden's hair was chocolate brown with streaks of light brown mixed in, while mine was strawberry-blond; his eyes were black, while my eyes were grey-blue. He was tall for his age, while I was short for my age. Our personalities, hobbies, and favorite foods were all very different.

It was all of these differences that kept Jayden and me so close. No matter how different we were, and how people never believed that we were twins, we both knew that there was nothing that could break the strong family bond we had. Ever since we were small, we were very protective of each other, and we always put family first.

Tonight, Jayden was wearing nothing but his pajama shorts. His chocolate brown hair almost looked black in the darkroom. Through my window, I can feel the red moon staring down at me. I then looked at my hands, they were sweaty, and there was blood on my fingernails.

"Why is there blood on your hands, Beth?" Jayden asked as he grabbed for my hands. "Ouch... That's nasty. Let me see..."

Jayden quickly turned on the lights. He slowly and carefully brushed my strawberry-blond hair back, and cursed under his breath.

"Bloody-hell. Do you have to scratch yourself when you have a nightmare? Beth, at this rate, you are going to get yourself killed." Jayden said as he touched one of the scratches on my neck.

"You're too protective... And... Hey! Stop it, Jay. That hurts." I whined.

"Sh... Aunt Arora's gonna hear you~" Jayden joked as he left the room.

He's a jerk. But I love him so much.

I sighed loudly and reached for my drawer. I got out the small mirror that my mother have given me when I was 6. Tomorrow school will start and I will start nice and fresh. I will go back to the normal Elizabeth. I will not be the crybaby over the parent's death. I will be strong, and cry no more.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Jay asked as I found him sitting by me, already climbing into my covers.

"Oh, I didn't know you came... and hey! Get out of my bed. I'm not a little girl anymore."

"Come on, I'm here to doctor you," Jay said as he stared at me with puppy eyes. "Plus, you will always be my little baby sis."

"Fine." I groaned and tried not to smile. Trust me, no one can stand Jayden's puppy eyes. After Jayden put the medicine on my wounds, he went back to his own room, and since it was already 4 AM, I decided to get dressed. I couldn't get in the shower because Jay would definitely kill me if I washed off the medicine.

I opened the curtains and opened all the windows in my room. It was not really a room... It was more like an attic. There were actually a lot of rooms in this house. There was actually a room beside Jay's, but I didn't want to be hearing him playing video games with friends at night, or even worst... You know what I mean.

Today would be the first day of school... How exciting! (with sarcasm) I wonder if the schools in New York would be different than the ones in Canada...

I walked over to my mirror and started talking to myself, I do that a lot actually. In Canada, my classmate's parents would call me a lunatic, and some even called me a witch talking to the dead. That's why I didn't have any friends. When I say friends, I mean True Friends. Well, it's not like I need friends...

"If I have to be at school by 8:10, then I shall leave at 7:55. But right now it's only 6:00. What should I do?"

Come... back...

I turned around and saw nothing.

What was that voice? I must be mad. Of course, I am.

I brushed the thoughts away and washed my face with cold water.

AM 8:00

Finally, I was ready for school. I'm actually pretty satisfied with my outfit today. I paired a vintage-inspired cardi with a pair of long-line jeans. A comfortable and perfect look for June.

"Jay!" I shouted from downstairs.

"Jay! Time for school." I shouted one last time.

Silence...

I was just gonna open the door, when I heard footsteps, walking closer and closer toward our entrance.

"Knock, knock!"

Hey, loves! This is the second book that I've ever written!

What about 'I got drunk with the black eagles'? (My first book)

I'm so sorry, for a certain reason, I had to quit writing it. I'm very sorry. But I promise, as long as my fingers can move, I will finish this story.

PS: Did you guys like the twin siblings? Do you like Jayden better? Or, Beth?
