This happenes in an alternative universe, where and when Rei and Darien are twins. You know what they say about twins, that they are supposed to have the ability of understanding each other without any words and much more… But what if such a pair would be split and the twin brothers would turn out to be so different? And what if they would be forced to reunite? What could happen in such moments?

Prologue

Silence. The whole facility was drowned in a thick silence. There, in the middle of a huge forest, away from any indiscreet eyes and curious reporters were hidden all the "disturbed" persons connected somehow to the famous people in the high-class society. The atmosphere within the high secured building made the place look and feel like a prison. And it was a prison, for some people and especially for her.

She had been put in this place for two years now and she had cursed her brother for doing this every day since that moment. Yes, she had the "honour" to be Darien Shields' twin sister and the target of his reproaches ever since they had been born. If it weren't for the similar features, one could have never taken them for siblings, but twins. They shared the same deep blue eyes, the raven black hair and the name… but nothing else. From a young age, Rei had discovered that she had abilities that no other child carried: she could command fire, use it as a doorway to other worlds and have premonitions with it's help. And all of those due to her mother's gifts, very similar to hers. Her mother had been a high-ranked priestess up until her father had practicly ordered her to stop that "nonesense", as he called it, and come with him in her "rightful" place. Her mother refused at first, but was forced to accept his command the moment she became pregnant. Ever since then, terrifying years followed.

She gave birth to Rei and Darien nine months later and the two became the official heir of a huge fortune and bussiness empire… Or, better to say, Darien became that. When the children turned three, the situation turned desperate: their father would blame their mother and punish her for doings that didn't belong to her and, all of those, in front of their underaged children. Rei passed through the whole ordeal as if she was the one punished, but Darien almost transformed into a block of ice at the sounds of his mother's screams and pleas. It was then that the two became so different and entered different worlds.

One night, deciding that it was too much for her, Rei's mother ran away, also taking her daughter with her, refusing to leave her behind. For about two years they lived inside an isolated temple, where their past couldn't reach them. Until one day… One horrible day when Rei's father found them and took them back by force. Reaching the city once again, his first action was to throw her mother into a psichiatric hospital and let her rot in there. He hoped that the years they spent into the temple didn't manage to transform Rei… but it was too late…

Her powers had developed meanwhile and, even at her age, Rei could be easily considered a future priestess. However, she was smart enough not to let her father know of that. She hid her powers, her abilities and her new habits. At her return into the house where she was born, Rei met a very changed Darien and realised that he had become everything that his father wanted… that his father was. That scared her even more than a possible future inside a mad-house. She had tried to change him back, but understood soon enough that he had already taken his path and there was no way back.

As years passed by and the twins grew older, Darien took a seat into his father's companies, but Rei kept herself out of any bussiness and filled her time with trips around the world, also visiting sacred temples where she could practise her beliefs and knowledge. Until she was caught by her brother. Without notice, he pulled her out of the temple, threw into a car and drove away, as his servant destroyed the place and killed all the monk and priests inside. That was the final blast that rei could take. On the way back, she confessed everything and tried to escape and even kill Darien. Having no success though, she followed her mother's footsteps and entered a psichiatric hospital herself, a palce hidden from the rest of the world, and was forgot there.

Until now… now when an escaping opportunity was given to her, an answer to her prayers… a light of hope in the middle of a darkened ocean. And she took it.

Without any notice, she hit hard her two guardians, left them behind, took off her chains with a stolen key and got out, into the building's palin garden. She could already hear the alarm behind her, but she knew that such a chance could never appeare again, so she had to take full advantage of this one. With speed and skills that prooved years of training, Rei jumped over the tall fence filled with spikes, fell on the other side and started running for her life. She was aware that if her brother managed to find her, he would most definitely kill her.. so she had to run, to escape and to start her life all over. Somewhere far, far away…

That's it for now. Read and let me know what you think… Should I go on with the story or not? Be sincere!
