"It's been days haven't it since I last saw her, my dear twin sister. I miss you so much I wish it was me instead of you" I said to myself as I sat at your favorite place. "Why? Oh why? Did you save me?" I cried
On a bright sunny afternoon we were playing in the park you were right beside me playing happily with a big goofy smile on your face. We're both twins we're supposed to look the same we are supposed to be loved equally. Yet we look different I have brown hair you have black, I have blue eyes you have violet, I look like Dad and you look Mom. We are so different. "Talia, Auriana" our Mom called "come on it's time to go home". We stood up and ran to Mom. She was waiting near our dad's black car "Mom" you yelled at she hugged you while I went inside the car behind Dad "hello father" I said but he was busy talking more like screaming on his phone.
You and Mom got in the car then Dad started to drive. When we arrive in front of our home the gates open and let us through. We are a rich family Dad is the CEO of the family company and Mom as the only daughter of her family, owns many perfume shops around the world. We have more than 30 rooms in Volta Mansion. We got 15 maids, 10 security guards. Dad parked the car and we all got out and as we entered the mansion our Mom yelled "Be in the dining room in 20 minutes girls" "Yes Mother" we said as we went upstairs.
"It sure was fun today wasn't it Talia?" you asked me. "Yeah it was" I replied in an expressionless tone. "Hey is something wrong?" you asked in a concerned tone. "No it's nothing so don't worry about me" "Wait, wait a minute don't go" but it was too late I had already run of to my room. I slammed my door shut and locked it.
Then slid down it and buried my head in my knees I couldn't bear to see your annoying smile anymore I love Arianna. You are 2 minutes older then me yet you act like a child and me I act so mature then you see we are so different. I stood up and walk to my bed and lay down it.
I was thinking about my life when there was a knock on my door "Go away" I said in a calm voice but instead of an answer I heard "meow". "Sawako" I said with happiness. I ran to the door and opened it, there in front of the door was a black kitten "there you are I was waiting for you" I said as I picked Sawako up she purred and licked my face.
I found Sawako in a box 2 blocks away from my school it was a rainy day and while everyone ignored her I picked her up and brought her home, the next day she was sick I was so worried but my care brought her back to good health. At that time Auriana was not with me but at home because after school I stay for a while at the school's library to pass time and also do my homework there.
Ever since I found Sawako I have been so happy I always have her next to me, I sleep with her, read books with her in my room, I play with her and when we are away from each other I miss her a lot she is so special to me. When I first got her my parents did not want her in the house but when they saw how attach we were they agreed.
Sawako only stays calm near me and my care taker Melissa. I sat Sawako on the bed and then picked a book from my book shelf then with Sawako in my lab and we started to read the book. As we were reading Sawako pointed to the end of the book I knew what that meant she wants to go to the next page but before I could turn the page Melissa knock on the door and said "Miss Talia it's time for lunch" "Alright in a minute Melissa" I said as I picked up Sawako and made my way to the door.
We entered the dining room our parents were sitting in front of each other and you were sitting next to Mom your pet puppy Amaru was sitting in the chair next to you. I went and sat next to Dad with Sawako in my hands. Sawako got up the table and sat down in the chair right next to mine. "Ah!" Mom screamed "Talia how many time do I have to tell you? No animals on the dining table" Sawako gave an angry cat roar.
"But Mom Sawako is part of the family" I said but it was no use as she called Melissa and asked her to take Sawako away and feed her in the kitchen. I stopped Melissa from taking Sawako away just before she was about to exit the room "Give her to me" I said and Melissa did. "Talia no animals at the table" Mom said after Melissa left.
"No Mom when Auriana's pet is also sitting with us at the table. Your letting it eat with us it's been 2 weeks since I got Sawako you let her eat with us if my cat is an animal then so is AURIANA'S DOG" I yelled at the last part. "That is no way to talk to your mother Talia" Dad said "apologize now"
"Sorry Mom it's just you treat Sawako as a slave while Amaru is living a leisure life why?" "It's a puppy and that's a cat either you eat with her in you room or you eat with us your choice" I stayed quit for a while then "Fine" I said and came towards my chair picked up my plate then walk towards the door "What are you doing?" Mom asked angrily.
"You are the one who said either I eat with her in room or eat with you all, my choice" I paused "I choose Sawako it's been days since I have eaten with her". I ran to my room and slammed the door loudly. "You're doing it again" I said my voice was cranky. I put the pate of food down and placed Sawako near the plate of food.
"Here you go Sawako you must be hungry feel free to have my share I'm not hungry" instead Sawako pushed the plate away and gave me a sad look "Sawako please I know you won't eat without me but you need to eat or you will get sick again" she purred "Fine, fine" I picked the pate and placed it on the table next to my bed. I climbed on my bed and lay down on it "Why? Why? Is she always like that?" I asked myself on which Sawako climbed up on the bed and snuggled against my neck. I turned "sleepy huh?" .
All I heard was a sleepy purr and I hugged her. 'I can't believe it. It's happening again.' I closed my eyes 'Just because we're different doesn't mean you should hate me mother' tears ran down my cheeks they were coming fast one after the other. I kept on crying and fell asleep.
"Meow" I woke up to find Sawako on me looking at me as if something was wrong. "Miss Talia are you alright?" I turned my head to see Melissa worried "I was in my room when Sawako came and dragged me here" she paused "you were crying is everything alright" and she was right I was. My face was wet and my eyes were red. "No need to worry Melissa. I'm fine sorry I worried you"
"Don't mind this but why did you argue with Mrs. Monica" Melissa asked. "I was angry she was allowing Amaru to sit at the table and not Sawako she calls Sawako an animal while calls Amaru her gem" I sat up "think yourself in my position will you accept this. I mean you know what Mother does with me right" Melissa looked at me sadness in her eyes "I'm sorry" she said "I understand how you feel Miss Talia. I'm so sorry but it shouldn't be like this" I looked at her "Melissa its ok you don't have to say sorry you didn't do anything wrong" I looked at the clock on my wall 9:30 PM.
"Melissa go to bed you must be tired" yes was the response I got she gave me a plate of food then she left my room. Melissa and her family have been working for my family for years. She is a year younger then me 13 and I'm 14. Melissa has grown up in this house and has always been my friend always. She, Sawako and Auriana are my hope when my parents don't get along with me. You see my twin is the center of attention makes everyone smile with her smile. She is joyful, smiley and me I'm the opposite of her I'm serious, mysteries. Never in my family twins were born. My great Grandmother Florida came to know about us twins.
*Flashback*
"Florida, Florida," said my grandmother's little sister "there is bad news" "What? What is it Merida" my grandmother asked. "Well I just had a talk with the priest he said that your granddaughter will give birth to twins and the youngest twin will cause bad luck in the family" "How can that be? There must be some mistake" "There is no mistake at all and the worst part is the youngest twin should not be killed or in the other twin will have bad luck because the youngest twin will be cursed" "How can we prevent this from happening?" "You can't the only way the curse will be broken is to be rude to the twin until the twin is 18 or if the other twin dies"
*End Of Flashback*
So this is why I am being neglected by my family. All this because of and unreal curse how I know that? Because the cures said I will not be good at anything, no one will ask me for help and everyone will hate me but I'm good at playing a guitar, a violin and I get straight A's in all my grades in school. My classmates always ask my help when they don't understand something I can even help the kid who speak Japanese. The only things that's a curse are my powers I got 2 types of powers the first I can see a person's future and through things. The second is I can control fire. My powers were first known when I was in elementary school that time Mom and Dad love us equally since they thought the whole curse thing was a big lie. Then one day in winter that fateful day came.
