This is how Roly's hate for Devon and Devon's hate for everyone started.
Today was a day like any other. The two twins emerged from their beds, eager to play around in the yard inside the manor.
"Devon! Devon! Come on! Let's go play!" said the "younger" twin.
The "older" one laughed at his brother's demands as he put on some softer clothes. "Alright… I'll be out in a second, Leon," replied Devon.
Devon quickly sprang out of his room and Leon grabbed his brother's arm so they would have more time to play. The both of them started to play a game of Tag before Syed woke up to the boys loud voices. "Up already, huh?" Syed laughed, "What am I going to do with you guys?"
Syed quickly joined the boys outside to make sure they wouldn't mess around like usual but then again when wouldn't they? Once outside, he knew what had already happened… They switched clothes again. Most people don't know that Leon has his hair up like a flame and Devon's is like a reversed flame so he could already tell which one was Leon is their little game. Leon was hiding behind the tree while Devon hid behind a rock. Syed poked Leon's back gently and quickly said, "Got ya, Leon."
"No way! How did you know it was me?" questioned Leon with a cute pout.
"Hehe… you always hide behind the tree… besides… Devon always finds a new spot to hide, right Devon?" Syed replied smiling.
Devon quickly jumped out from behind the rock and landed in front of Syed. He then quickly messed with his hair then Leon's to fix it so it was normal. "Yep… you always got to be on your toes, little brother…" said Devon.
Devon loved to call himself the older brother because he was more mature than Leon but that didn't change that they were the same age. After all their fun and laughter, they heard a familiar voice call out to them. "Boys… are you awake already?" a young red haired woman asked.
"Mom!" cheerfully said Leon. "Yeah! We're awake! I wanted to play with Devon!" Leon ran up to his mother and hugged her like there was no tomorrow. Devon chuckled before going up to his mother and hugging her as well. "Good morning, mom. Sorry if me and Leon woke you up…" Devon said softly.
"Oh it's no bother, sweetie. I was just wondering…" their mother replied. "When were you gonna invite me?" She chuckled as she started to tickle both Devon and Leon's sides.
Both were laughing like crazy and pleading their mother to stop because their cheeks turned a bright red. She quickly stopped and just hugged her kids once more before saying another word, "Tomorrow will be our fifth Christmas together… and you'll be finally able to enjoy and remember it." She kissed both their heads but quickly looked up at the sound of her name being called. "I must go now kids… Syed, please look after them," asked their mother.
"As you wish, Lady Trisha… I will watch over them as if my own life was a state." Syed replied.
"Thank you… I'll be back in a bit, you three," yelled Trisha softly.
The boys continued playing as Trisha walked through the halls looking for whoever called her name. She looked around frantically until she saw Lieutenant General Ruby Galpin and her husband, Abraham Ralls. She was nervous because of the serious look both Abraham and Ruby had on their faces. She did not like what she heard next…
"Trisha… my sweet and dear wife… Young Ruby here returned with our health tests… It seems like you have a strong virus within you that if not cured soon could lead to death…" Abraham cried.
Trisha stood there in shock… she could not believe what she has just been told.
