"Trey! We're going!" Vetrix called from the front door. Trey turned and smiled.
"Okay, see you later!" He listened as the door locked shut and the dish in his hand began squeaking. Trey looked down at it. He could see his reflection on the white plate in his hands. The pinkette smiled at his work and placed the dish on the counter. He stared one last time before heading upstairs to his room.
Trey sat on his bed, staring out the window and out into the woods. He smiled upon seeing the scenery. It reminded him of the very few good memories he had. Vetrix, Quattro, and Quinton were all out doing something, so Trey was left alone. He continued to stare outside. Alone in his own little world was only entertaining to a point. It got old pretty quickly.
"Oh. I wish that for once in my life, I had someone else to do things with." Trey sighed again and slumped on the bed before walking down the stairs, thinking blindly doing so. The pinkette walked outside and smiled. Fresh air was exactly what he needed right now. It was one of the few things that could make him happy nowadays. Trey walked into the forest. Butterflies passed over his head. A few birds did the same. Trey smiled again. If the animals were happy, so was he.
One bird landed on a log nearby. A small, yellow one with orange wings. Trey noticed and sat down on another log, directly across from the bird. A small tweet erupted from its beak. Trey smiled as it flew to the ground and began hopping toward him. The yellow bird jumped on Trey's finger and tweeted again. It did the same a few more times before flying away. The pink-haired teen stayed on the log and stared around.
A branch broke in the distance. Trey whirled around in alarm. A figure was now standing in front of him. A shudder went through the pinkette's body before he spoke to himself.
"Huh? What's that?" Trey stared at the figure in front of him. He couldn't tell what the heck was there, but knew all too well that it was injured, whatever it was, especially when it tumbled to the ground. Trey instantly got up to see who or what it was. What he saw frightened him greatly.
A girl with pink hair lay there, the same shade as Trey's, a green Crest glowing on her hand. Trey gasped. He couldn't believe it.
"A-A Crest? How is that possible?!" Trey hollered. Some of the birds flew off in shock. The pink-haired boy gulped and lifted the girl onto his back. She moaned and stirred, but didn't wake up. Trey guessed that it was the Crest keeping her alive.
"How, I will probably never know. I'm gonna get you to safety, ma'am. You'll be safe at my house." Trey began walking quietly and quickly towards the house. He opened the door and darted up the stairs, gently laying the girl in his bed. She stirred, but once again refused to wake up. Trey covered her with his blankets and smiled at her. Her skin was his same color, and her hair was his same shade of pink. It was curled slightly, like his. Trey blinked and stared in shock. They were so similar. Even her Crest was the same as his.
It was terrifying.
"I wonder who this girl is." Trey put a hand on her shoulder. The girl stirred again, but this time, her eyes fluttered open. They were the same shade of green Trey's were. She glanced up at Trey, and the two locked their gazes on one another. Trey offered a gentle smile and helped the girl to sit up. She smiled back, but said not a word. The pink-haired boy sat down next to the pink-haired girl. They were silent for a while. Finally, she spoke.
"Where am I? What happened to me? And...who are you?" The girl stared into Trey's eyes. He smiled.
"My name is Trey Arclight. You are currently inside my house. It was the closest place for safety from that forest." The girl jolted up upon hearing Trey's name. She stared him right in the eye, as if trying to remember something. She gasped moments afterwords, a small grin playing on her face.
"Trey... I've heard that name before... at the World Duel Carnival. You were great." She smiled at Trey, who had some blush on his cheeks. "I watched all of your Duels. You're really good."
"Thank you... So, your turn to tell me. Who are you?" Trey asked, curiosity in his voice. The girl opened her mouth to speak, but was hushed by an unexpected interruption right before she could.
"Funny you should ask that, Trey."
Trey and the girl whirled around to see Vetrix there, Quattro and Quinton right behind him. The brothers had stunned looks on their faces as they stared at the girl and their little brother. Trey raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Father? What are you talking about?"
"Trey, that girl right there. She is similar to you in every way."
"I'm aware."
"Do you know who she is?"
"Would I ask if I knew?"
"I suppose not. Would you like me to tell you?"
Trey was silent, as was everyone else. They were waiting eagerly for his answer. Finally, the pink-haired boy nodded his head. "I would like to know very much."
Vetrix smiled a bit. He didn't answer for a while, knowing how stunned Trey and his brothers would be.
Trey looked at the blond with concern. "Are you going to tell me?" he asked, a hint of annoyance in his voice. Vetrix chuckled, shutting his eye momentarily before speaking.
"Trey, that's your twin sister."
