Time Travel
It was a nice summer day out in the woods. But, at a RV hidden deep in the woods next to a lake, two cousins, Ben and Gwen Tennyson, were arguing. And their Grandfather, Max, was unable to keep them under control for he went out to get firewood.
"You Duffus that was my favorite mirror!" Gwen said picking up the shattered hand-mirror.
"It's your fault for leaving it at the end of the table!" Ben snapped.
"You coulda been more careful and watched were you were going!" Gwen yelled out.
Before Ben even had a chance to respond, a bright portal-like object appeared in between them. Suddenly, seven kids were thrown to the ground and, as quickly as it appeared, it vanished. Ben and Gwen looked at the seven kids in shock. The first two looked to be the same age as the cousin's; the boy had short silver hair, pale skin, and crystal-blue eyes and the girl had long snow-white hair, pale skin similar to the boy's, and similar blue eyes that looked somewhat clouded. The three next to them looked related but not 100% related. The boy had short dark-brown, almost black, hair and brown eyes. The girl next to him looked to be two years older than him, she had the same color hair and eyes only her hair was longer and her eyes looked distant from everyone around her. And the girl next to them seemed younger than both of them. She had long sandy-blonde hair and light green eyes. The final two looked to be in their teens. They looked very much alike with their grey hair and eyes, the only difference between them was that one was a boy and the other was a girl. And the fact that the girl had on a black headband-looking thing on her head and the boy had a black eye patch over his left eye. Then, they all got to their feet, not even noticing Ben and Gwen's presence.
"Ouch, that hurt." Said the silver haired boy as he rubbed the back of his head.
"What the heck was that anyway?" the sandy haired girl asked to no one in particular.
"Why don't we ask those two?" the girl with dark-brown hair said pointing at Ben and Gwen.
They all turned to look at the two cousins in shock, just realizing that they were even there. Ben and Gwen both were at a complete loss for words. It wasn't until the white haired girl, that looked very similar to the silver haired boy, came up to them.
"Hello there." She said in a gravely tone that still sounded sweet, "My name is Sally. What are your names?" she gave her head a slight tilt.
"Um…I'm Ben."
"I'm Gwen."
"Ben and Gwen." Sally said letting the words roll off her tongue, "Are you two, by any chance, twins?"
"No, we're cousins." Gwen explained.
"Cousins? Interesting." Sally said.
"What about you and that girl with the silver hair? Are you two twins?" Ben said making the silver haired boy shoot a death glare at him.
"First off, Husky is a boy." Sally corrected Ben, "But, yes we are twins."
"Wait, he's a boy?" Ben said in shock, "But he looks—"
"Finish that sentence and I'll beat you to a pulp!" Husky said.
"Don't worry, Ben!" the dark haired boy said, "Husky always gets mistaken for a girl!"
"Doesn't mean I don't get mad about it." Husky said under his breath.
"Let me introduce you to everyone else for future clarity." Sally said getting Ben and Gwen's attention to the others, "The girl with the long dark-brown hair is Amaya, and the dark haired boy next to her is her brother Cooro. The girl with the sandy blonde hair is Nana, Amaya and Cooro's half-sister. Behind them is Senri and his little sister Andy. Senri is the one with the eye patch and Andy is the one with the headband. Any questions?"
"Just one." Gwen said, "Not to seem rude but, are you blind?"
Sally looked towards Gwen's direction, "Yes, I am. Why do you ask?"
"Well, it's obvious to tell because of your eyes, but you don't really act like you're blind." Gwen said to Sally.
"Heh…..I understand what you mean. Though I may not be able to see, I am able to hear things that people don't normally hear. And my +anima enhances my hearing so—"
"Sally!" Husky said.
"What? They would of found out about it sooner or later. So why not sooner?" Sally told her twin.
"+Ani-what?" Ben said confused, "What's that?"
"Surely you've heard of +anima before." Amaya said walking up to them.
"Actually, I'm smarter than he is and I've never heard of that phrase before." Gwen said.
Amaya let out a frustrated sigh, "+Anima are people with animal-like abilities. One becomes a +anima when they face death."
"Well, could show us your abilities?" Ben asked.
"Sure!" Cooro said as his anima wings came out and he flew into the air.
