Holly was standing in the bathroom, clutching the sink, and staring at her reflection in the vanity mirror.
She was in the ajoining bathroom that was connected to her twin brother's bedroom. She could see his profile through the mirror, and he was sound asleep, his brown hair touseled and his blue eyes hidden by his eyelids.
Holly's reflection was hard for her to see through her tears. Her makeup was running, and her silky brown hair was tangled, and her icy blue eyes were switching from angry to pleading every few seconds.
There were two sides to Holly. There was Good Holly, who was sweet, kind, funny, and gentle. Then there was Evil Holly, who was mean, sarcastic, and cruel.
Ten years ago, when Holly was seven, her parents had been killed in a car accident. Her and her twin, Krior, were sent to an orphanage. This is where Krior had discovered his and Holly's powers, and began to use them for his own good.
He would annoy Holly, and provoke her, so that the Evil Holly came out. The Evil Holly called herself Kia. Pretty soon, Kia had taken over completely. Holly was unable to gain control.
After a few years, Krior and Kia escaped the orphanage, and gained followers. They were on a mission to rule the magical world.
Holly had sat inside for eight years, watching as her twin and her alter ego killed and minipulated innocent people.
On thier fifteenth birthday, they made love. Holly had fought so hard to gain control, and get as far away from her twin as she could possibly get. But she couldn't; she was surpressed by Kia.
For two years, Holly planned and schemed for a way to gain control, but Kia was strong.
Krior had bought a huge mansion, and had given Kia her every desire. It was Holly's belief that Krior had forgotten her existence.
Last night had been their seventeenth birthday, and they had celebrated by killing a village full of people.
Then they had come home and celebrated in the Other way. When they had fallen asleep, Holly had wormed her way through Kia's dreams and thoughts undetected. Finally she had gained power.
But now, Kia had noticed, and was trying to gain her power back. But Holly wouldn't let her. Finally, Kia relented, and Holly washed her face, brushed her now blonde hair (It changed colour when the alter egos switched), got dressed, and slipped out of her brother's room.
She ran down the hall, bounded down the stairs, and was halfway to the door, when she was whipped around, and was face to face with Krior.
"What did you do to your hair?" He asked groggily. "And where are you going?"
Holly's mind raced as Krior pulled her into him, and let his hands roam. He didn't realize that she wasn't Kia.
"I dyed it, and I'm going out," she said calmly. She turned and opened the door, and when she glanced back she saw his face contort with rage. Now he knew.
She ran, and ran, until she reached the subway station. The next one came in five minutes. Hopefully Krior wouldn't get there first.
