So...i've had this idea for a while...after reading some Holocaust books and watching movies...I thought: "What if this happined in an alternate universe...but instead of Jewish people...it would be twins!" So...here's Alfred & Mattie telling their story!
Tortured
Chapter 1
"Peace and Hopes"
Hello, my name is Alfred F. Jones! I am 10 years old and I want to be a hero just like my Dad! I live in New York City with my Dad! I have a twin brother named Mathew Williams and he lives in Canada. My mom and Dad stopped loving each other when were were 7, so Mom and Mattie moved to Canada.
Theres a big huge messed up war going on right now, so Dad joined the army and he went to be a hero! I really miss him but he's being a hero! He's been gone for a while, but he's a hero, and being a hero is hard work. Right now I'm on a train to go visit Mattie and Mom because Dad says that I can't live by myself in New York!
I know he said that because he sen't me a letter saying that! he also sent me his favorite jacket, wich is really cool because I also love that jacket! It's a really cool jacket because it was his Dad's when he joined the Airplane Army! It's brown, fuzzy on the inside, it has a picture of an airplane on the sides, it has a star on the front, and on the back theres the number 50 written really big and in white! It's kinda big for me right now, but it's warm, and Canada is cold.
Mom says that Me and Mattie look a lot like Dad, but Mattie has my Grandpa's hair. I saw a picture of Grandpa when he was 10 and his hair does look like Mattie's! I thought it wasn't fair that Mattie had Grandpa's hair until Mom said that I had Grandpa's heroeness, wich I thought was really cool! I sometimes wonder if Mattie wants to be a hero like Dad and Grandpa, but he dosen't talk much, so he doesen't really tell me stuff.
I can't wait to see Mattie! I wanna be able to play again like when we were little. Dad says it's not safe in New York anymore. Theres always gun shots and stuff, so that's why he sent me to live with my Mom. Mom makes really good pancakes, they have all this nice good syrup on it and they taste awesome. Dad makes really awesome hamburgers! His burgers are the best and he makes them just for me!
I have two older cousins named Arthur Kirkland and Francis Bonnefoy. Arthur lives in England and he's almost 18! Francis lives France and he's 22. I really like them, but i don't get why the're always fighting. I don't really like it when they fight, because it scares Mattie, and he starts crying. And when Mattie cries, it makes me kind of sad too.
Francis is weird because he's always chasing girls, and girls have cooties! Every time I see him, he's always with a different girl, wich is weird. I think he knows magic, because Mom says that you can only be with one girl, so he must be changing her so she looks like a different girl every day.
Arthur is really weird because he says that he does know magic! He also says he can talk to ghosts, and that scares me, because ghosts are dead people! He also talks to himself, and that's really weird. He once told me that he rode a Unicorn and that Flying Mint Bunnies are real! He must still think im 3 because everyone knows that Flying Mint Bunnies aren't real. He's also really angry most of the time, wich I think is because he has these huge eyebrows the size of cats! It's kind of freaky that he has such huge eyebrows! That's probably why he has imaginary friends, because his eyebrows freak people out.
The train just stopped and I can see Mattie and Mom from the window! I know were all gonna have lots of fun! And when Dad comes back, he can have fun with us too!
Hi, my name is Matthew Williams, but most people call me Mattie. I am 10 years old and I live in Ottawa, Ontario. Ontario is a province in Canada, and Ottawa it it's capital. I have a twin brother named Alfred F. Jones. We have different last names becaus my Mom and Dad don't love each other anymore. Mom and me moved here, while Al and Dad stayed in New York City. That's in America, wich is under Canada.
I also have two cousens. There names are Francis Bonnefoy and Arthur Kirkland. The fight a lot, and I don't like that because it reminds me of Mom and Dad before they stopped loving each other. I really don't like it when people fight, it makes me really sad.
The kids at school think i'm weird because I always carry around Mr. Kumajiro. Mr. Kumajiro is my pet Polar Bear. He's not real, he's just a doll. Mom won't let me have a real Polar Bear because she says there dangerous. I don't think Polar Bears are dangerous, I think there just misunderstood. If I had a real Polar Bear, I would name him Mr. Kumajiro.
Dad sent me a letter telling me that Alfred would be comming to stay with me. He also sent me his Grandpa's old Army jacket. He really likes that jacket, so do I. Dad has two favorite jackets, a brown one that was his Dad's, and a white on that was his Grandpa's. Alfred really likes the brown one, but I like the white one. Right now it's too big for me, but when I get older, it will fit me. I think he gave the brown one to Alfred, because he really likes it.
Right now, Me, Mr. Kumajiro and Mom are at the train station. Were waiting for Alfred. I really miss him because he's my brother and we always have fun toghether. When Mom and dad loved each other, Alfred and me always went to the park and climbed trees. We also went to the beach and we swimed in the beach water. It was really fun until Mom and Dad started fighting. When they started fighting, Me and Alfred always locked ourselves in the basement because we didn't want to see them fight.
After that, Mom sent us to see cousen Arthur in London. London is a city in England. He was 15 back then, but now he's almost 18. he always told us that he could see ghosts, and that always freaked out Alfred. he also told us Flying Mint Bunnies are real and that he could talk to them. I still beleave him but Alfred doesen't. He also has these really funny eyebrows that make Alfred and Me laugh. They kinda look like big fuzzy caterpillars, wich is probably why he dosen't have a girlfriend!
Cousen Francis has lots of girlfriends! He said that when I get older, he's gonna let me and Alfred have one. Francis is 22, and he lives in Paris. Paris is a city in France. It's really big and really pretty. Alfred said he doesen't want a girlfriend because they all have cooties, and if he did want a girlfriend then he would find his own.
Alfred's train just got here! Im so exited to see my brother again. We are gonna have so much fun with Mom, and when Dad comes back from the war, he can love mom again and we will all be happy!
10 year old Alfred and Matthew are so cute! I hope you guys enjoyed this first chappie and it would be awesome if you revewed!
