W..WH..WHY DID I SAY THAT???!!!!
Dang it. I even said it out loud. Now everyone is looking at me in confusion and this silent treatment is killing me. I cleared my throat and tried to change the subject.
''Who might you be?'' I don't know why but the moment I said that, Dad's expression changed and the other's laughed it out saying things like c'mon now.
I paused a bit and looked at her smiling so cutely and intensely. I once again asked, "Seriously though, who is she? Is she like my cousin or something whom I've never met?"
"Listen here brat. I don't know what jokes you're playing at but that was a rude thing to say to your twin sister", Dad exclaimed.
!!!!!!!!!!
( What! Twin-!!!???? Sister???!!! What is going on? A dream? This might be a dream.)
I pinched myself hoping it would work but nothing happened. It's real. What kind of a twist is this? I had a twin for nineteen years- I mean twenty years and know nothing of it? And no matter how you look at it there is no way she is my twin.
I'm an average handsome looking dude with black hair whose fairly taller than most guys with pitch black eyes. While on the other hand. Looking at her reminds me of the ocean. Blue silky hair with mesmerizing sky blue eyes and a cute figure of a normal teenage girl. She's captivating me the more I stare at her. Something is definitely wrong here.
I was staring her down and mom suddenly spoke.
"Stop it with that look. It's your birthday. Or are you mad we did that. You know what happens when you fall asleep on your birthday. Haha. Anyway, here is your gift. Happy Birthday once again."
She passed on to me her gift with a warm smile and then hugged me tight. I guess I will solve this later. It's my birthday after all…..-???? Wait! That's it! It's my birthday.
I looked over to the girl and with a calm smile I asked, ''Hey sis. What did you get for your birthday?''
"Ohh come on bro. You know today is not my birthday." -acting cute-
''That's impossible. Don't you think so? 'Twin' sister.'' I said so while keeping up with my fake smile.
The moment I said that, as if she realized something bad, her expression changed. Suddenly the look on my family members changed too and their faces seemed blank and *plop* they fell to the ground and pass-out on the spot. I was stunned.
''W-What did you do?!!" I stuttered scared and confuse.
I looked over to the girl and to what I described as an angel who fell from the sky, her face now is no closer to that of a demon.
The room was silent and the night was darker than ever. The fog had settled in our part of the town and all that could be heard was the neighbor's dog barking and then suddenly silent. I collected my cool and tried to remain as calm as possible while I am still on the bed and keeping some distance from her and myself. Then she spoke. However this time. It wasn't in the least cute at all.
She crossed her arms and said in an annoyed tone, "This is unexpected. I don't know if it was just a fluke or my miscalculation but somehow you escape my Mind Manipulation Spell. In all my years training only those higher than me can do so. So why is it that a mere human was not affected?"
She said that with complete annoyance, confusion and anger at the same time. She looks like she is trying to figure out the cause and stared dead in my eyes. But somehow it did not feel like she was staring at me but rather 'in' me. Just a feeling. I felt her malicious gaze and 'presence' in the room. I bit my tongue and calmly replied with great caution.
"I don't get what you are saying but let me ask you something. You… You're not human, aren't you? You break into our house. Somehow hypnotized my family and now you're talking of these things about spells. It's not normal.- Who are you?''
She looked down at me and said , "Don't compare me to a human, 'human'! Here I am thinking this would be an easy piece of cake for me. And 'She' even went as far as choosing this family for me saying that it's the best choice and I would pass in no time. Who would have thought I would fail the first night? How infuriating!"
''Ahem. So you were sent here? Who sent you and what is your motive doing these things?''
"My motive? You think that I would just let you in on my motive?! I would rathe--. Actually. Let me tell you my motive and that too I promise to not tell anyone. If you do so. Don't blame me if I wipe you off existence. I can just take your place after that. It's not like your family would care anyway. After all, they won't remember you at all."
''Then why not just do that?''
She was pissed hearing that and spoke in a loud voice like and angry cat.
"You dare question me? For one thing you manage to escape my spell and until I am done finding out the cause for this and how you manage to escape it. I won't just erase you. Yet. Until then I suggest you cooperate."... "Ahh what a blunder!!", she muttered.
She seemed more pissed now. I wanted to ask her more about her motive but I guess I will confirm my first question first.
"You keep calling me human. And judging from the way you spoke, I take it for sure now that you are not human but I don't know what you are exactly. And I cannot promise to help you with so little information. I mean how do I know if you're telling me the truth or just bluffing nonsense.
She looked me straight in my eyes and with no hesitation and being dead serious she said.
"I am a Demon."
A Demon. Her eyes tell me this was no joke. However I was no longer surprised. But considering everything that had happened and who would have expected something like this, all I could do is to accept this nonsense. It's too late to hesitate now seeing everything with my own eyes. And it's better for me to see what I can do first and what else I need to know and somehow…not die?
I was dead silence thinking of what to do next not realising the girl..I mean demon was staring at me for quite a while.
"You don't seem surprised." She said in a curious manner.
"How strange. You speak of me not being normal but you're not one to speak either."
''Was that a compliment? Anyway I still do not know how or what I can do to help you. After all, I do not have a proper explanation of your motive and I don't know if what you're aiming for is good or bad. For starters. Do you mind if I ask for your name?''
Her arrogant personality suddengly seemed to drop and her face although angry showed a hint of disappointment too and she looked at me with sharp eyes and replied.
"One thing after another. You really piss me off. I don't have any obligation to tell you more of my motive. And 'my name' you say.? As for my name, you do not deserve to know that. Just call me 'Young Miss' or 'Milady'. Suit yourself."
What was that???!! Her expression there at the end when she talked about her name. It changed. Like she is disturbed? Disappointed? But I'll pretend like I didn't notice that. Let's just see where this goes.
"Okay, I'll do as you say but I don't really know if I can call you those if we're in public and all. And seeing how you haven't killed my family members, I guess you still have a use for them. Are you perhaps pretending to be my twin sis again?"
"Hmph. You catch on fast. You're smart too huh. But better you use that smart to fully cooperate with me. Well then let's go with your plan. This is your world after all."
"Well I still think I should know what to call you since I can't pretend to have a twin and not know her name now can I?" I said so in a joking manner.
" You have a point. But even so. YOU do not have the obligation to know my name.", she spoke like a boss.
"If that is so can I like make up a name for you that I can use while we're with others"
She seemed hesitant but at the same time she looked like she's putting her thoughts and she looked at me and promptly agree.
"It better be a good name." She added.
''Ohh the fog is quite beautiful tonight. Let's see. Yes! I will call you KIRI.''
"Kiri… Well that's not ba-"
Before she could even finish talking. Suddenly the room became dark and a kind of a magic circle in black outline filled the room. I was so shocked and was not able to move. So was she. Then suddenly from the magic circle two black chains came out and bound her neck and the other bound my right wrist.
I felt a sharp pain like a prick but it was so sudden that I could barely feel it. They soon disappeared abruptly. Magic circle and all. There was not even a mark on my wrist. It seemed so long yet over in an instant that we could not even react to it.
I looked at her and saw her disarray figure as she fell to her knees and spoke out of utter panic and horror.
"TH-...THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!"
