My name is Shaunee Jeevas.
I am thirteen years old, I have red mid length hair, dark blue eyes and I have been known to wear a black and red stripped long sleeve top and blue boot cut jeans with black steel toed boots. I am a black belt, I have a personalized gun off my parents that I got for my thirteenth, I am my schools cross country champion, I'm also the boxing champion for the girls team and to top all that off I'm like super smart. For a girl everyone says that's impressive especially because I'm so hot... We'll that's what all the guys say anyway. I'm hated by all the other girls because I'm popular with the guys. I always turn them down though because I feel that there is a big empty space blown right through the middle of my heart where someone or something used to be. No one can fill that spot unless I find him. I know that he's still alive because I think I've seen him round town a couple of times. He looked just like me. I think that somewhere out there I have a twin. No... There's no thinking about it. I have a twin, I know that I do because I remember that when I was five I was sitting outside my home and then a man came up to us and took him away... I think his name was Mail; I have three photo albums full of photos of me and him. We always look just like each other. Every time I tried to ask my parents about him they would lock me in my room for two days, so I learnt not to ask about him and to look after myself. I rely on no one but myself and myself only, well I can rely on my best and only friend Ty. Ty and me were at his house on Friday night watching Star Wars because every Friday night is our movie night. It has been since we met in primary. I was at Ty's house and his parents were out at dinner 'cause it was Valentine's Day. Ty and me absolutely hate valentine's day so we hid in the den at his at put on Star Wars. My parents were having a romantic candle lit dinner next door. Barf. So I thought my parents were having dinner next door when Ty and me heard a scream. A really loud scream so obviously we both paused the DVD and ran next door to mine to see what was happening. I unlocked my front door as fast as I could and burst into the kitchen to find my mum on the floor covered in blood and my dad with a knife in his hand covered in her blood standing over her with a crazed look in his eyes staring right at Ty and me.
"Ty go get my gun right now, you know where it is" I instructed Ty pushing him towards the kitchen door while staring my dad in the eye.
Ty ran upstairs to my room to get my gun whail I stayed in the kitchen with my father.
"Wrong move Shaunee" dad hissed.
He practicly flew at me from across the kitchen, knife still in his hand, by this time Ty hand shoved my gun into my right hand so while my father was leaping over my mothers body I took aim and shot him right between the eyes. He fell to the floor with a thud and moved no more.
"Shit" I muttered as I ran upstairs with Ty on my heels.
I ran into my room and put my gun back in the case. Then I pulled the bags I had off the top of my wardrobe and started shoving all my belonings into them. Ty helped me without saying a word.
"Where will you go?" Ty asked at last as I took off downstairs to get the rest of my CD's from the front room.
"I'm not sure, I knew this was going to happen eventually so I took some tests to get into this really good orphanage that's also a school, my brother goes there and they have alredy accepted me and they said that I can go there any time if I need to. I'll send them a text to let them know that I'm on my way and to tell them the situation I have. I promise I'll text you every day, call the police and you're parents tell them what happened but don't tell anyone that I shot him. Alright? I'll never forget you Ty but I have to leave... We'll keep in touch" I said after I locked my front door and gave Ty the key so he could let the police in.
He walked me to the end of the road and he gave me a hug before turning round and going home. I took out my phone and text the director of the orphanage Rodger to tell him that I was on my way and that I would be there in an hour, I also told him what had happened. I checked the time, five o'clock. Then once I put my phone away after reading the quick reply off Rodger I ran all the way to the orphanage. The name of the orphanage is Wammy's house. I ran halfway there and then decided to walk because I was now coming up to town and kids from my school hang out there all the time. Then I saw them... The bitchy girls from my class. Chloe, Chloe, Sandra, Eloise, Jade and Jade. Time to blend in... Too late they saw me. Shit they're coming over... Okay, calm down at act normal.
"Shaunee, what's with all the bags?" Chloe asked as they all finally caught up with me.
"I'm going to stay with my brother for a while" was my simple answer to get them off my case.
I kept walking as they followed me trying to get answers. I wouldn't give them any and they soon saw some really hot boys from the year above so they left me alone. As I was walking through the town I decided to stop off at my favorite little cafe for a strawberry milkshake. It was only twenty past five so I had time for something sweet to drink. I spent ten minutes sitting there drinking my milkshake when the bitches and the boys from the year above entered. Shit, they saw me again. Time to go I think.
"Hey Shaunee, so where does your brother live? We want to meet him" Sandra asked as they all sat at the table next to mine.
"In an orphanage" I said as I got up to leave.
"Wait, you're going to an orphanage? Why're you going to live in an orphanage?" Eloise asked supprised.
"Because I am now an orphan" came my simple relpy as I left the cafe.
I glanced at them as I walked past the window and saw that they were all staring at me in shock and supprise. I waved at them and went on my way. It only took me another twenty minutes to get to Wammy's. When I got to the gates I pressed the little buzzer that was to one side and heard Rodger's voice aking who I was.
"It's Shaunee Jeevas" I replyed.
"Come on in Shaunee, I'll meet you at the doors" Roger said and the gates swung open for me to enter.
As I was walking up to the front doors, a large group of kids came spilling out of them to see who I was. Luckily, when I was in the cafe I placed my gun in my jeans pocket. My hand flew to my gun but I didn't pull it out, I just stood there staring at all the kids who were staring at me. Then I saw him. My twin standing right at the front of the group just staring at me and I just stood there staring at him back. He started walking towards me and was in front of me in just a few seconds.
"Shaunee?" he whispered still staring me straight in the eye.
He had on orange goggles so I couldn't see his eyes but I knew he was looking for answers in my eyes.
"Mail" I whispered back and he nodded.
"I have thought about you every day since that day" he whispered back.
"I did the same" I whispered back.
"Shit Matty, she looks just like you" a blond said coming up to us.
"That's 'cause she's my twin Mells, we got separated when we were five"
"I'm Mello, Matt's best friend and roommate" Mello said taking a bite of chocolate.
I nodded and looked back towards the building. Rodger was coming towards us after he had told everyone else to go back inside.
"Mello, Matt, go back inside, I need to talk to her in my office" Rodger said kindly.
I followed Rodger inside and through a door off to the left.
"Take a seat" Rodger said indicating the seat opposite his desk.
I did as I was told and I put all my bags down next to me keeping me hand on the gun in my pocket.
"Now, we know why you are here and what happened tonight, so all I have to tell you is that we never use real names here for security reasons and you can't call Matt by his real name other wise you will be putting both of you in danger. You will have to choose a different name to use while you are here" Rodger said looking down into my file.
"I want to be called Hunter" I said simply
"Good, now that that's settled we should probably let Mello and Matt in now, I believe that they are waiting outside the door for you" Rodger said with a smile.
I want to the door and opened it and to my supprise, Mello and Matt were standing outside the office door just like Rodger said they would be.
"So what shall we call you then?" Matt asked with a small smile tugging at his lips.
"Hunter" I growled picking up my things.
"Mello, Matt could you please take Hunter to her room, she has the room opposite yours" Rodger said dismissing us.
I put one of my bags on the chair that I was recently sitting in and pulled out my headphones. I plugged them into my phone and listened at Haunted Town by Lordi started blasting through my headphones. I followed Mello and Matt out of Rodgers office and upstairs to my new room. When we got to my room, I dumped all my bags onto my bed and opened up the case that normally has my gun in, then I took my gun out my pocket, checked that the safety lock was on and put it away. I looked over at Mello and Mett and they both looked like they had seen a ghost.
"What?" I asked taking off my headphones and pausing my music.
They both came in and closed the door behind them before rounding on me.
"Why do you have a gun?" Matt asked
"It was given to me for my thirteenth by our parents last month for my birthday doofus" I said placing it care fully in my desk draw and covering it with some of my art stuff.
They both sat on my bed as I putt all my things away.
"Ummm... Hunter, did our parents ever speak about me after I left?" Matt asked
"No, every time I asked if you were ever coming home, they would always lock me in my room for two days without and food or drinks" I said
"How did they die?" this question made me freeze as I was putting books on my shelves.
"Hunter?" Matt asked when I didn't respond.
"I was next door at my friend Ty's house a few hours ago, we were watching Star Wars when we heard a scream from my house, we ran next door to see what mum was screaming about and dad was standing over her body in the kitchen both of them covered in her blood and he had a knife in his had, I told Ty to get my gun and just as the gun was pressed into my hand, he flew at me so I shot him" I said in a small voice so they could barly hear me.
"He was going to kill you as well?" Mello asked coming to stand next to me.
"Yes, so I killed him first" I said as Matt came to stand next to me as well.
"Are you okay?" Matt asked after a few minutes of silence.
I nodded.
"You wanna see my trophies?" I asked going over to the bed to get my trophie so I could line them up on the desk.
"Boxing, running and martial arts" Mello said in awe as I set them out on the desk.
"Yup, I'm also a skilled gunsman and I'm fluent in all the languages around the world, mum and dad forced me to take all the classes" I said as I went to hang up my clothes.
"Can you help us with our homework then?" Matt asked hopefully.
I nodded and followed them across the hall to their room. Their room was about the same size as mine with two beds and all their things strewn scross the floor.
"What language is it you want me to help you with?" I asked sitting in one of the desk chairs.
"Spanish, French, Greek, Finnish and Latin" Mello said placing two of the same worksheets before me.
"Okay, I'll tell you the answers but you have to get some wrong so it doesn't look like you had help and you have to write them out yourself" I said nodding as I looked through the questions.
We spent half an hour on their home work before I remembered to text Ty. I took out my phone and sent him a quick text telling him that I was safe and not to worry.
"Who you texting?" Mello asked as I put my phone down on the desk next to me.
"My gay best friend Ty, the one I told you about" I said as I got a text off him.
"Are we allowed out of here any time we want?" I asked after reading the text.
"Yea but only on weekends and only if Rodger knows where we're going first" Matt said as he finished writing in the answer for the last question.
"You guys wanna meet Ty with me tomorrow lunch time in town?" I asked checking over their work.
"Alright then" they both said together.
"Great" I smiled at them as I sent a quick reply telling Ty to meet us at the cafe at lunch time.
"Where are we meeting him?" Matt asked switching on his handheld.
"The little cafe next to the shopping center up in the town" I replied with a yawn.
"It's getting late, you should get some rest you had a hard day" Matt said standing up.
"Aright then but I expect you two to be up and ready by half eleven" I said as they both walked me to my room.
They both rolled their eyes at me as I told them this.
"See you in the morning Hunter" Mello said as they both left my room.
When they had left my room I got changed and climbed into bed.
