Hunter and Cassie sat on Hunter's bed talking in whispers as to not wake the rest of the orphanage. In this room alone twelve tired boys slept on their beds peacefully. Cassie and Hunter were planning their escape from the horrible place, which they planned to execute the next day. The twins had, had enough of the terrible orphanage and the evil Miss Bell, the owner. Thirteen years was enough to kill any normal children. They were as it was the oldest at the orphanage. Cassie had wanted to leave sooner, there was nothing there for them anyway, but Hunter had wanted to wait for a perfect opportunity.
"Tomorrow we start our new lives." Cassie said to her brother, clutching a chain that hung from her neck.
"Yes, tomorrow we will be reborn and forget about this life." Hunter responded, holding tightly to the identical chain that hung around his own neck. He placed his other hand over Cassie's hand and offered her a comforting smile. She returned the smile and at the same time the door crash open. It was the Miss Bell and she had an evil look on her face. As all the other children woke, some scream others simply hid under there covers. Anyone caught up after lights out would receive twenty lashes of the whip. Cassie and Hunter were the first to have this method tested on them, still baring the scares from the many hundreds of lashes they had each received from this woman. Hunter felt his sister freeze and tears begun to fall from her eyes as Miss Bell advanced on them.
Instinctively he pulled Cassie off the bed and towards the window on the other side of the room. All the other kids watched in fear as the scary woman advanced pulling a whip out of no ware.
"Cassie open the window quick." He didn't have to tell her a second time as she was already attempting to open it. However in her haste she was failing and Miss Bell grew closer by the second.
"Little demons, where do you think you're going?!" the woman asked cracking the whip against her hand.
Hunter pushed himself in front of Cassie and lunged at the orphanage owner. He did without thinking and expected to feel the pain of a fist in his face, but was met with nothing. Hunter felt a strange tingling sensation run through his body before the sound of metal hitting concrete filled the room. He found himself on the ground looking up at the stunned Miss Bell. He had turned into a sword and be the looks of it a dangerous one. Cassie finally unlatched the window and turned seeing her twin brother in his sword form picked him up. She raised him towards the angry lady before her, but Miss Bell didn't move she was frozen in shock. Not taking her eyes of Miss Bell she turned to the window and jumped. They had been on the third floor, but Cassie landed running into the night. Her brother returned to his original form, well except for his arm which was still a large blade and he neither of them stopped running to even think about it. The moon laughed at them as they ran, egging them on not to stop. They found themselves in a forest but only stopped to take a drink from a small river, and then they ran again.
A few hours later they were standing in a desert and the sun was raising overhead. They were both exhausted but couldn't stop until they found some kind of town. It was then that they found themselves standing outside Death City. The sun was rising above them as they entered the city Hunter hiding his arm in his jacket and leaning on his twin. He had twisted his ankle and was having trouble walking. They hobbled into the new place like that hiding in the shadows. They were shy people and with Hunter having a weapon arm they didn't want to scare anyone. Neither Cassie nor Hunter had ever heard of someone that could turn into a weapon besides themselves, being able to transform into swords. They had never told anyone about this ability and didn't plan to. After a few hours they found a spot in an alleyway where a few old couch pillows had been deserted. Cassie left Hunter there and went to a nearby dumpster to see if she could find any food or blankets for the night. It was going to be hard, but even this was better than the orphanage and the lashes.
Cassie fist bumped the air in success. "Hunter, I found some food." She said walking back over to her twin holding an old loath of bread. It was stale and had turned a little green in some areas but they feasted on it anyway.
"Cassie?" Hunter said, making her look up into her brothers eyes. The left a deep shade of Red and the other a light purple, a mirror of her own, and the wonderful smile that kept her going.
"Yeah?"
"Was this really the best choice?" Cassie turned back to the dumpster, continuing to sort through the masses of rubbish. "I mean it was horrible there, but we at least had a roof over our heads and a bed to sleep in each night." Hunter stood walking over to his twin sister. His arm was still in the form of a sword, having no idea how to change it back, as he placed his normal hand on Cassies shoulder.
"Yes, I am shore that it was the right thing. We may be on the streets for now, but at least we have our freedom." She turned to her brother and smiled, "We still have each other, and that is all we ever need." Hunter returned the smile, before returning to his seat.
A while later his sister sat beside him holding to large blankets and they sat under the moon light drifting in and out of sleep. "That moon looks like its laughing at us hey?"
"Your right. Have you ever seen anything like it Hunter?"
He shook his head before saying in disbelief, "I have heard stories before. I remember James once told me about a place called Death City. In Death City the sun and moon appeared evil, laughing at those that dared to peer at their greatness." Hunter laughed before continuing the story. "James also said that where the sun and moon laugh, death resides." He finished the last bit and felt his sister laugh beside him.
"James from Brooklyn right?"
"Yeah that James," Hunter answered.
"He told me about a pair of sisters that went around terrorising the people from there, and get this apparently they could turn into guns or something." Cassie was slightly happy.
"Do you think it was true Cassie?"
"Oh its true alright." The twins turned to the entrance of the alley. No one was there, but they had defiantly heard a voice coming from there.
"Hunter raised his sword arm in that direction saying, "Stop hiding."
"I wasn't hiding," said the voice again, this time a cat walked out of the shadows. The cat was black, its eyes glowing gold and strangely it was wearing a pointy witches hat.
Hunter and Cassie eyed the cat before Cassie squealed and jumped on it saying, "My word you are so cute." Cassie held the cat tight in her arms.
"Well thank you, I find myself cute as well." Cassie froze as the cat spoke, her eyes becoming wide like dinner plates.
"What are you?" Hunter hissed. Poking the cat with the tip of his sword.
"Oh, me I am a cat with an annoying large amount of magical power." There was a puff of smoke before the cat before them turned into a purple haired woman. "The names Blair," Blair said with a smile.
Cassie released Blair and ran to her brother, hiding behind him in fear. "You aren't from here are you?" Blair asked smile upon her lips.
"That depends where we are?" Hunter said trying to hide his sister from the figure before him.
"Oh my, but you are certainly a weapon." Blair said ignoring the question.
"Where are we?" Cassie asked. While she spoke she moved from behind her brothers back to next to him so that she could Blair properly.
"Oh, Death City of course." She said matter-of-factly
"And you are not surprised that I can turn into a weapon."
"Why would I be? Anyway why don't you two come with me, I am shore you would rather sleep in a bed with food in your stomach then on an old pillow having had nothing to eat?"
Blair turned to walk away before either could answer her. After sharing a look, Cassie and Hunter followed the strange cat woman into the night.
