Once Upon a time…
Their was a little boy and a little girl. The little boy and the little girl are twins. Their are some different traits that each of the children had. The baby boy is Caucasian with short black hair and and brown eyes with freckles, while the little girls is also caucasian brunette with Black highlights, has a deep ocean blue color in her right eye and a purple color in her left eye. The little boy name is Andreis Spirit Hunter and his twin sister is name Amabel Tiger Lily Hunter. They were called the Hunter twins in their small little town far away in London. They lived in a warm house with their mother and father.
The Hunter twins had a Strong, Caring Protective father name Forest Hunter. Forest was like the Adult version of Adam. His Brown eyes and black hair with some freckles on his face.
Then, their was the Hunter twins mother named Camellia Daisy Gardenia Freesia Iris Hunter. Camellia was a beautiful, innocent, Nurturing, Gracious, Inspirational mother. Camellia had Gorgeous soft long brown hair with mismatched eyes like her daughter Amabel. Camellia's eyes were Light blue in the left eye and Apple red in the right eye. Camellia was a woman that other women would admire and Men would have as a trophy wife.
Camellia and Forest were both intelligent and strong. They had taught their two lovely children everything they know. From fighting and surviving, to nurturing and healing others.
It was night time in the Hunter's House. Camellia was tucking in her seven year old twins to bed. Camellia and Forest would tell them the twins tales about an adventurer and an Indian Princess that lived on an island called Neverland. Forest would kiss the twins on their forehead and waited for Camellia to blow out the fire lit inside their lantern.
Before she blew out the fire, Camellia noticed her daughter had on an sad expression on her face as she was lost in her thoughts than usual.
"What are you thinking about my little Tiger Lily?" Camellia asks her seven year old daughter.
"Mommy, is name stupid?" Amabel asked there mother questionably.
"Why would you ask that my Little Tiger Lily?" Camellia ask her daughter in a worried tone.
"It was about this boy at school today." Andreis told his mother bluntly as his eyes lit in anger.
"Andreis!" Amabel called her twin brother in anger, signaling their mother that something is wrong.
"What happened with the boy at School my little Forest Spirit?" Camellia ask her son in a worry and stern tone.
"The big name is Derrick. Derrick bullying us about our names and how it was a stupid name fit for a stupid person like us." Andreis told their mother sadly as Amabel sat up in her bed and crosses her arms stubbornly.
"Tattle tale.." Amabel murmured softly as she mother was shock in anger.
"Is this true my little Tiger Lily?" Camellia ask her daughter in a gentle tone as she saw a small tear from her daughter's right eye.
"Yes..*sniff*" Amabel replies to her mother truthfully as she felt her tears trailing down her cheeks.
"My poor babies! Come here." Camellia said to her children as they hurried towards her embrace and began to cry.
"Is it true momma? Are we born with stupid names?" Andreis asked their mother as their tears kept running down their face.
"Look at me my Darling angels." Camellia told her children as the twins began to look at their mother.
"Your names are not stupid. They are special." Camellia told her Children honestly.
"Special? How?" The twins asked their mother at the same time which made her laugh gently.
" My little ones, each of your names haves a meaning." Camellia replied to her children who are still confused.
"What do our names mean?" Amabel asks their mother in a curious tone.
"Well…Andreis, Your name means rising of the sun. My sweet little Amabel, your first name means Lovable and your middle name means Courage." Camellia explained to her children the definitions of their names mean.
"Wow! Our names sound amazing!" Andreis said to their mother excitingly as Amabel smiled happily.
"They are amazing my little forest Spirit!" Camellia said to her son in agreement.
"Now it's time for you to go to bed and dream beautiful dreams." Camellia told her children as she re-tuck the twins in their bed.
"But Mommy! We have weird dreams at night!" Amabel whined to their mother.
"Sweetheart! Sometimes weird dreams can mean represent that something amazing will happen!" Camellia told her daughter in a gentle loving tone as she moves some of Amabel's hair out of her face.
"I don't know Momma…" Andreis told their mother in a non-convinced tone.
"My little forest spirit! You'll know once you found it." Camellia told her son lovingly as she grabs her wooden made Ukulele that their father created when they were four.
Camellia sat down on their bed, began to play some Chords and began to sing to her little ones their lullaby…
Let's go in the garden
You'll find something waiting
Right there where you left it
Lying upside down
Andreis and Amabel snuggled in their bed as they listen to their mother's lovely singing.
When you finally find it
You'll see how it's faded
The underside is lighter
When you turn it around
Forest was listening to his wife's lovely singing voice from outside the twins bedroom.
Everything stays
Right where you left it
Everything stays
But it still changes
Camellia looked at her children as she sings them their lullaby.
Ever so slightly
Daily and Nightly
In little ways
When everything stays
"Sing with me my little ones!" Camellia told her children as she strums her Ukulele.
La da da da da dum
La da da da da dum
La do da da dum
Da da dum da dum
Amabel sung happily with their mother as Andreis began to fall asleep to their lovely voices.
La da da da dum
La da da da dum
La do da da dum
Da da dum da dum
Amabel began to sing apart of the lullaby as she felt herself getting tired.
Everything stays
Right where you left it
Everything stays
But it still changes
Ever so slightly
Daily and Nightly
In little ways
When everything stays
The two of them began to sing the last part together in harmony.
Ever so slightly
Daily and Nightly
In little ways
When everything stays
Camellia strum the final chords to the lullaby as Amabel fell into deep sleep.
Camellia placed the Ukulele back on the shelf, went to the twins and kissed their foreheads lovingly.
"Dream about the adventures in Neverland my little ones." Camellia whispered to the twins. She blows out their lantern and headed out of the room.
"You are an amazing mother and an amazing wife." Forest complimented Camellia as he embraced her lovingly.
" *giggle* I should thankful for having an incredible father and an Incredible husband!" Camellia complemented Forest lovingly as she kissed his cheek.
"We should go to sleep as well Camellia." Forest told his wife wisely.
"We should. We have a long day tomorrow! It's the twins birthday." Camellia said to her husband in a happy yet tiring tone.
The lovely couple headed to their bedroom to sleep peacefully, while the twins dreamed about the Indian Princess and the Adventurer that lived in Neverland soundly.
Neither of the four didn't know that tomorrow was the day where death lied.
December 20th 1912,
Today was a special day.
Today was Amabel and Andreis 8th birthday.
Camellia and Forest were on their toes to make sure that the twins would have a marvelous birthday.
Amabel and Andreis were dressed in their special party clothes that were hand made by their mother.
Amabel wore a white knee length dress with her black dirty shoes and her hair in two pigtails.
Andreis wore his white dress shirt with black trousers and his black newspaper boy hat.
The twins ran downstairs and saw an amazing birthday cake and one present for each of them.
"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMABEL AND ANDREIS!" Camellia and Forest shouted happily.
"For us! But what about the money?" Andreis asked his parents in a worried tone. Their family have been saving up to live in place far away from London. Where their is a meadow full of flowers, a big warm house and farm to nurture and care for.
"It looks like my boss gave me an extra raise for working all of the night shifts in the company!" Forest replied to his son happily as he gave him a reassuring smile. Forest worked at a packaging company where he packed and organized many deliveries from places all over the world.
"Your grandmother delivered me some ingredients for the cake for you to have on your special day!" Camellia replied to their son as well as she smiled happily. Camellia worked as a teacher in the teens division, but have less pay than other jobs.
The cake was vanilla with strawberry icing that had eight candles on it. The twins loved their cake.
"Thank you so much Mommy and daddy!" Amabel thanked her parents as Andreis and her hugged the two of them lovingly.
"Anything for you two!" Forest told the twins happily as they began their small celebration. Amabel and Andreis blowed out their candles together and began to open their present.
Amabel's present was wrapped in white paper, while Andreis present was wrapped up in Blue paper.
Andreis opened his present first which made his jaw dropped.
"A telescope!" Andreis said happily as he held it in his hand. It was a gold telescope that had a black strap for him to wrap around.
"This telescope was in my family for generations! Now it's your's to hold my son." Forest explained to Andreis about his telescope.
"Thank you dad!" Andreis thanked his dad happily as he hugged him tightly.
"Thank you for being born!" Forest told his son as he hugged him back.
Amabel opened her gift and gasped in happiness.
"A Bracelet! It's what I always wanted!" Amabel said happily as she held it gently. It was a purple bracelet with little colorful flowers on it.
"This bracelet has been in my family from generation to generation. Now it belongs to you my little Tiger Lily!" Camellia explained to her daughter as she wraps the bracket on Amabel's wrist.
"Thank you mommy! I will never take it off!" Amabel thanked her mother as she hugged her tightly.
"Thank you for being born!" Camellia told her daughter as she hugged her back as well.
"This is the best birthday ever!" The twins said happily as their mother and father looked at them with lovable eyes.
Things were going great for the Hunter family!
Until…..
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
A loud knock at the door was presented.
"Who is that at the door dad?" Andreis asked their father curiously.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Something didn't feel right for the twins after the second time loud knock was presented.
Forest and Camellia knew who it was at the door during the second time.
"Camellia…get the twins to safety…." Forest told Camellia in a calm and stern tone.
"WHAT?! I'M NOT LEAVING YOU BEHIND FOREST!" Camellia shouted softly at her husband as a tear fell down her eye.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"HUNTERS! I KNOW YOU ARE IN HERE! SO COME OUT KNOW AND I WON'T HAVE TO KILL YOU SLOWLY PAINFULLY!" A mysterious voice shouted behind the door.
"TAKE THE TWINS TO SAFETY NOW!" Forest shouted at Camellia in a stern and caring tone.
"Daddy! What's going on?!" Amabel asked her father as she began to become frightened by this mysterious voice.
"Sweetheart their something we have to tell you two!" Forest told his daughter as he looked at the two of them sadly.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"HUNTERS!" The mysterious man shouted their last name once again.
"A long time ago before the two of you were born, we used to live in a magical place called the Enchanted Forest!" Forest began to explain to his children quickly before the mysterious man lost his patience.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"In the Enchanted Forest, we lived in a village were it was being attacked by the king's enemy. Her name was the Evil Queen!" Forest continued the story to the twins as he ignored the knocking.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"We didn't want you two to live in the rule of the Evil Queen. So we met the dark one named Rumplestiltskin and gave him something for all of us can live peacefully." Forest still explained the story to their children as the knocking became even louder.
KNOCK KNCO KNOCK
"I'M LOSING MY PATIENCE!" The mysterious man from the door shouted.
"What did you give him daddy?" Amabel asked their father in a low voice as tear ran down her eyes knowing what Forest was about to say.
"We gave him….our lives for yours My little Tiger Lily." Forest replied to her with tears in his eyes as the twins tears began to water.
"No..Were not leaving you Dad!" Andreis told his dad sadly.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"Your going to have to son! Make me proud you two! I love you!" Forest told them as he signaled Camellia to take them to their back up exist, while the twins were crying for their beloved Dad.
"I'm in here Dark one! And I'm not going to let you hurt my family!" Forest shouted as he grabbed his sword from behind their small fireplace and was prepared to stall for his family.
"Goodbye…. My Little ones…." Forest thought to himself as a tear shred from his right eye, knowing who will win this battle.
With Camellia and the twins,
They were running to the carriage where the workers would carry items to the city in London.
"We have to go back for Daddy! Their is still a chance to save him!" Anabel cried as their mother grabbed their wrist as they ran towards the carriage.
"Sweetheart I wish we could, but it's too late.." Camellia told her daughter as her tears shed for her husband's sacrifice.
"You're wrong Mom! We can still save him!" Andreis told their mom as tears ran down his face as well.
"My little Forest Spirit, It would have been more dangerous if you two were hurt as well!" Camellia told Andreis as they gotten closer to the carriage.
Once they reached their final destination,
Camellia put her children on the back of the Carriage and paid the man to take them to the city.
"You're not coming with us mom?!" Andreis asked their mother in fright as they feared that she might be next to sacrifice herself to protect them.
"I have to stay here and protect you my little angels." Camellia replied to her son as her tears kept on flowing.
"NO! WE ALREADY LOST DADDY! WE CAN'T LOSE YOU TOO MOMMY!" Amabel shouted at her mom in a sad and caring tone as she held on to her bracelet.
"My little Tiger Lily! Don't be scared! You two have each other! As my last wish! I want you two to protect each other!" Camellia told her children in a caring and stern tone.
"We promise mom…" Andreis told his mom as he looked at his mother with a sad expression on his face.
It was almost time for the Carriage to leave and Camellia felt Rumplestiltskin's presence heading closer and closer.
"MOMMY WERE SCARED!" Amabel told her mom in a frightened tone.
"It's ok to be scared my darling angels! Just think of the positives that will come your way!" Camellia told the twins as she hugs them one last time and puts her big black long shawl over their heads.
"I LOVE YOU!" Camellia shouted towards the twins as the carriage began to move.
"WE LOVE YOU TOO!" The twins shouted back sadly as they watched a scaly horrifying man appeared in front of their mother and took out her heart.
Andries covered Amabel's eyes as he watched the Dark One crushed their mother's heart with one hand ad disappeared.
"You will pay for this Dark One! I promise you that!" Andries thought to himself as he held his crying sister in his arms and caressed her back gently.
