Chapter 1
As they stepped into the brisk winter air of Japan, two sisters-twins to be exact- huddled close to each other, pulling their hoodies tighter around them.
"Do you see him?" the twin on the left asked her sister, her emerald green eyes darting from face to face in the crowded pick-up sidewalk of the air port. Her sister shook her head, her long raven hair tumbling over her shoulder.
"Not yet." She replied, wiping away a snow flake that fell on her rosy cheek, also looking around the busy terminal.
Suddenly, her sister tore off to the right, abandoning her luggage, squealing 'daddy.' A man with peppery colored hair and black rimmed glasses stood at the end of the side walk, arms open to catch his daughter who was sprinting towards him.
"Oh my darling Scarlet, how I missed you!" he greeted her, grabbing her in a rib-cracking hug. Her sister arrived shortly, grinning madly at her father, and being tugged into the hug also. Pulling away, the twin girls beamed at their aging father, broad smiles still painted on their identical faces.
"We've missed you, daddy." said Scarlet, tears pooling in her eyes. Said man chuckled, wiping away his daughters tears before ushering them to his limo, telling the driver to retrieve the girl's forgotten luggage.
"I know, I've missed you girls so much." He told them, climbing into the back of the car. The car lurched forward, driving down the busy streets towards the waiting mansion.
"How has business been dad?" the older twin asked.
"It's been quite busy actually. Who knew that being a mortician would be such a hectic job." The man joked, grinning at his daughters. His daughters giggled. "Are you two nervous about starting a whole new school?"
Scarlet nodded, subconsciously rubbing her freshly bruised arm," Extremely nervous actually."
"What about you, Sammi?" the man asked his oldest daughter.
Sammi nodded, tugging down her sleeve," Yeah, I'm a little nervous."
The man smiled at his nervous daughters," Don't worry, you two will be fine. I bet you'll make tons of friends."
The girls nodded, trying to please their father by agreeing with him. But on the inside, they strongly disagreed with him, not believing his words. They knew better.

Sammi sat on her bed, staring blankly at the empty walls. She ran a hand over her scarred arm, the light from the moon making the cuts look silvery. Her mind veered off to every reason and memory for those scars. She felt a pang of shame and guilt in her chest for conflicting harm to herself. Sighing, she pulled her sleeve back down, crawling under her crisp purple sheets and lying her head down on her pillow. She didn't close her eyes, but she stared at the ceiling, not feeling a bit tired.
A knock came from her door, making her jump slightly. Scarlet cracked the door open, tip toeing over to the bed and crawling in next to her sister. She moved closer to her twin, and Sammi complied by turning towards Scarlet, wrapping her in a tight hug. Sammi let Scarlet cry into her shoulder, her sisters small body racking with silent sobs, her tears being absorbed by Sammi's shirt.
They both closed their eyes, knowing that both of their dreams would be plagued by horrible nightmares. But, they had each other to hold, hopefully chasing the terrible memories away.
