Heart beats fast, Colors and promises

The song was starting again. Why did it have to start again? Ryusuke and I were only fourteen years old when it happened. We were returning home from our grandfather's game shop, when we saw that speeding car leave from the direction of our home. We didn't know it at the time, but our entire world was about to be flipped upside down.

How to be brave? How can I love when I'm afraid to fall

"Woah, where is the fire Aniki?" I had asked my brother, laughing. I was the mirror image of my aniki. My hair was pulled back into the same loose pony tail, bangs hanging in my face. My hair was a beautiful raven black with purple streaks just like Ryusuke's. It was our little prank on the entire town when we did this. Yes, we are identical opposite sex twins, except more on down the road I would develope a chest. But for now we kept my true sex a secret untill the time was perfect.

"I don't know Imoto. Maybe they are late for a meeting or something?" Ryusuke's voice was strong. I always did love the sound of my brother's voice, it made me feel safe.

One step closer

We reached our house finally, but I sensed something was completely off about the house. The front door was wide open. I watched Ryusuke freeze but I found myself still walking toward the open door. This wasn't like our parents, leaving the front door wide open, especially since mom was sick in bed and dad stayed home to watch her. I walked through the door, turning into the leaving room. As I did so, my bag fell from my hands and I heard myself scream. My hands shot up to cover my mouth as I stumbled backwards.

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

"Alliena! Alliena, what is it?!" Ryusuke was asking me, his hands wrapped around my shoulders. Tears poured from my eyes as he shook me trying to get me to speak, but all I could do was move my hand to point at the scene behind him in our living room. Ryusuke, confused at first, turned around to follow my pointing finger. As he did, his eyes fell upon our father whose neck was slit ear to ear, laying face down in a pool of his own blood.

"Alliena, you stay here. Do you understand? stay here!" Ryusuke ordered me firmly. All I could do was nod my head in understandment as my eyes followed my brother when he ran from his place in front of me to the stair case which lead to the second floor of the house.

It was a few moments before I heard my brother scream, the sound of my twin screaming both scared me and brought me out of my state of shock as I felt my body turn toward the stairs and run up them following the scream to my mother and father's bedroom. When I reached the bedroom I found Ryusuke on his knees, something I thought I'd never see in my lifetime as he was kneeling in front of my mother.

"M-Mother... No" I heard my brother whisper, his once strong voice was now nothing more than a five year old's murmur, like he was begging my mother for a cookie when we were little. I looked over my mother's lifeless body; she was on her bed, her throat slit, legs spread like the murderer touched her while he violently slaughtered her. Those wounds hurt and broke my heart but not as much as when my eyes fell upon my mothers stomach and there inside her was the murdered fetus of my unborn sibling, my eyes began to water as I felt myself run into the bathroom, releasing all the contents in my stomach into the sink.

"Yes. Please, come quickly. My mother and father are both dead along with my little brother... Please d-don't hang up... M-my sister she's losing herself and I don't know if I can calm her down." Ryusuke's voice sounded so broken and I could tell by his cracking voice he was crying. I straightened myself out and turned on the cold water as I cleaned the sink of my lunch from an hour before. My throat burned from the gastric acid, the taste of the acid and my lunch mixed still in my mouth as I searched for a tooth brush so I could lose the taste.

About thirty minutes later the police arrived...

I heard them rush into our home as three officers and two medics came into my parent's bedroom. I stepped out of the bathroom, my face pale from vomitting as my eyes tailed over to my brother who was crying over our mother's corpse. Seeing Ryusuke in that state broke my heart even more; my eyes once again filling with tears as I ran to him throwing my arms around his shoulders sobbing into his back between his shoulder blades where I had buried my face.

"Kids, we have to take your mother now..." An EMT said. Their voice was soft, almost soothing like our mother's, but I knew our mother was laying on her bed, slaughtered. I felt my brother tense under my arms as I tightened my grip around them to keep him from moving as they put our mother and unborn brother into a black body bag. The sight was too much for me as I buried my face back into Ryusuke's back, between his shoulder blades.

"I am so sorry... Alliena, my sister... My twin..." Ryusuke's voice was a soft and broken whisper. I lifted my head from it's hiding place, releasing my brother I watched him turn around to face me, his soft violet eyes gleasoning with tears as I saw my reflection in them. Ryusuke and I did have only one difference besides our sex, the difference was the shade of purple for our eyes. Ryusuke's eyes were more of light violet while mine are a royal purple. I watched as my brother smiled slightly his tears falling, I watched his mouth move but I couldn't hear his words as everything around me went black.
