A/N: so in case you didn't notice, this is an Avalon High/Marco fanfiction. Warning, it probably sucks, just so you know, so read at your own risk. DISCLAIMER: I own nothing but Eliana/Eli and her plot lines. (full name pronounced ell-e-ona, goes by Eli)
Two armies on horseback raced across the beach as they prepared to fight. As two soldiers charged ahead of their allies on either side, a lone figure watched from a distance, waiting for the proper moment to intervene. The rider in possession of a staff gained the upper hand and knocked his opponent to the sand, rendering them unconscious. The lone figure began to race forward as the man approached his fallen opponent when suddenly–
"Oof!" Eli exclaimed as she fell out of her, coincidentally at the same time as her twin sister Allie, whose bed was located on the other side of the room. Eli chuckled when her sister woke with a gasp. "You alright over there, A?" she shouted, unnecessarily, to her sister as she stood from the ground. Allie released a groan at her sister's cheekiness as she let her head gracelessly drop back to the floor.
"Just peachy, Eli." Shaking her head, Eli walked over to her sister, being sure not to stumble over the numerous boxes that littered the floor. Offering her hand, she pulled Allie to her feet just as their mother threw their bedroom door open.
"Are you girls alright? I heard a thump!" Taking a moment to observe her daughters, confused laced her features when she realized the situation she had walked in on. "Allie, sweetheart, what were you doing on the floor?"
Allie roughly elbowed her sister in the stomach as Eli let out a snort. "Hey! Don't laugh at me. You were on the floor, too." Eli just rolled her eyes at her sister. "Yeah, yeah, whatever little sis." she teased, before she noticed her mother's expectant look.
"Weird dream, don't worry about it." She spoke nonchalantly as she picked up one of several books that laid in boxes. It was Allie's turn to scoff. "Speak for yourself," she shouted to her sister, who was engrossed in a book. "We fell out of bed, and if you ask me, it hurt like hell."
Their mother simply smiled as she readjusted her grip on the box she was holding. "Aw, you two used to do that all the time when you were four." She spoke nostalgically, as if remembering something from the day before. Allie rolled her eyes. "Well, I don't think I was dreaming of medieval combat when I was four."
At this, Eli torn her gaze from her book and looked to her sister with curious ears. "You too?" she inquired as they shared a look, before coming to a conclusion. "Twin Telepathy." they spoke simultaneously, false seriousness plastered on their faces, until their broke out into fits of giggles.
Their mom smiled fondly at her daughters. "I was." she interrupted the laughter. "What a surprise." Allie responded sarcastically. Eli frowned down at her sister. "Now Allie, my sweet, sweet baby sister, I'm the only sarcastic one in this family." Smirking slightly, she began to nudge her twin with her elbow before their mother cleared her throat, regaining their attention.
"Well, as long as you two are up, you can start to unpack." Eli groaned as her mother left the room, and she and Allie knelt down next to one of the boxes. Sighing, Allie pulled a brochure of their new school from the box, along with a flyer for track tryouts. Scoffing, Allie crumbled the paper up, throwing it across the room, before muttering a disappointed "Yeah right."
Eli smiled sympathetically as she placed a comforting hand on the younger twin. "come on," she said as she adorned a fake smile. "These boxes aren't going to pack themselves."
After unpacking a few boxes, albeit grudgingly, the twins left their room to see their parents unpacking their last few boxes. "Hey girls, all done unpacking?" he asked cheerfully as he carried a box across the room. "Uh, almost." Allie responded with mock joy as her eyes followed her dad across the room.
"I see King Arthur and his Merry Men have taken over the house." She commented sarcastically as she picked up a box. "It was Robin Hood who had the Merry Men sweetheart." Their mom corrected obliviously as she reentered the house.
Eli removed herself from her position leaning against the wall as she finished her mother's thought. "King Arthur had the Knights of the Round Table. Shouldn't you know this? Robin Hood was only like, your favorite cartoon movie, EVER!" Eli teased as she returned to her book.
"And you know the story of King Arthur, sweetie." their mom commented from another room. Suppressing a groan, Allie replied as she began to unpack only some of the may books their family had. "Yes, I know that. How could I not know that when it's all you three talk about."
"Your mom and I are professors of medieval literature, sweetie. It's our job to talk about it. And it's not your sister's fault she has good taste in literature." the only man in the house stated. "Thank you!" Eli shouted from her place at the table as she remained engrossed by her novel.
Allie scoffed once again. "I know but you guys talk about King Arthur so much I'm starting to dream about him." She set her handful of books down as she continued speaking. "Not like most girls who dream about knights in shining armor. Mine had dirt all over them, an– and B.O., and are missing half their teeth!" she exclaimed at the end as she threw her arms up to emphasize her point.
"Well," Eli chimed in as she finally set her book down. "Think of it this way. Better to dream of that that some ax murderer trying to kill you, and at least your dreams are anatomically correct." She offered sarcastically as she patted her twin's shoulder.
"Your sister's right, you know." their dad commented unnecessarily. Allie groaned. "Seriously dad?" she exclaimed as she continued unpacking. He threw his hands up in mock surrender. "Your right, sorry." As Allie reluctantly dusted off the dirty books, Eli took this time to say what had been on both of their minds since that morning.
"Why do we even bother unpacking, guys?" She spoke, bitterness hidden, almost professionally, from her tone as she placed her hands on her hips. "I mean, we're just gonna pack up and move in six months again, right?"
Her parents shared as look before speaking two their daughters. "You see girls, it's not going to be six months this time." At this, Allie turned to address their parents with a slightly panicked voice. "What, one month? Two? Maybe we should just legally change our names to 'New Girls'."
Their father responded with a sigh. "It's gonna be three years." The twins froze in their tracks, before large grins began to break out onto their faces. "What?!" they shouted simultaneously. Their mom responded meekly. "We're gonna be here for three years. This place is, special." she spoke as she shared a knowing look with her husband.
"Wait, so we're staying?" the younger twin spoke in disbelief as Eli already began to fidget with excitement. "Yes," their dad began. "Now, I know three years is a long time, but–" "Wait," Allie interrupted. "We're gonna be at Avalon High until we graduate?" At her father's nod, Eli finished her sister's thought.
"So you mean we're actually gonna be able to try out for sports, and finish the season, and make friends for once?" she questioned, although she already knew the answer. When their mom and dad nodded again, Allie screamed out in cheers of happiness. Eli smirked at her little sister's excitement as she practically ran around the room, before returning to their shared bedroom.
Looking at her parents, she smiled gently while she commented nonchalantly, "Well, I think she took that rather well." before she engulfed her parents in a tight embrace. "Thank you." she spoke, her voice barely above a whisper. Releasing her parents from her death grip, she took a step back as Allie came plowing past her to the front door.
"Hey Eli!" she shouted as she struggled to pull on her shoes. "I'm going for a run, wanna join?" Smirking at her sister's hastiness, Eli responded playfully. "Nah, I'm good. I wouldn't want to embarrass you if you happen to run into any hot guys." Allie rolled her eyes at her sister's teasing as she ran out the door, shouting a goodbye to the rest of her family. While Allie went on her run, Eli was content to sit on the couch and resume reading her book.
Okay, so there is chapter one. I know I should probably be updating my other stories, but I recently rewatched Avalon High and a bunch of other movies, and I've had so many ideas that I just had to start writing a bunch of new stories. Hope ya liked it, if ya didn't, then let me know what I can improve. Auf Wiedersehen!
