Kiran's POV
" I still don't see why Whittaker suggested we move here. Just because it's basically the epicenter of magical activity doesn't mean we need to leave our comfy, large, home in Tuscany." I said, while lifting two of my suitcases out of my car.
"Kiran, you know he wouldn't have sent us here unless something important is going to happen. He's our advisor to the throne, he knows best." My twin sister, Ariana, replied knowingly. She has always trusted him more than I have. Well, she's trusted everyone more than I ever have.
Setting the last of my bags by our winding staircase, I looked around the front hall of our house, well, more like mansion. It really wasn't that bad.
"Well I don't care, Forks is too freaking green Ariana! And there's nothing exciting to do." All my whining was a last ditch effort to get her to move back to Tuscany. I would do anything to get back to our home.
" Oh, you know we could always fly, run, or blink somewhere anytime we get bored" Always the optimist , my sister is, always the optimist.
"Yeah whatever" I resigned. It looked like we were staying and there was nothing I could do to persuade Ariana otherwise.
Ariana POV
I really didn't think it was that bad here in Forks. Tiny, yes, but really pretty. Plus, our house was amazing. It was smaller that our other one but still incredibly large, and we could fly anywhere we wished. You see, we have wings we can extract from ourselves. It's part of our powers. We are the Elemental Goddesses. We rule both the magical and human world. Of course, the humans never know but we do keep an eye on them. Quite troublesome species they are, We are here in Forks because our advisor, Whittaker, has detected a lot of magical activity here. It's our job to figure out if it evil or not.
" Oh come on, Kiran, you're going to love this place! It's almost always raining which is good for me and we lived in a sunny place last time. It's my turn to have the best weather."
Let's just say Kiran was less than ecstatic to come here. She's always been one for the sun Though that makes sense since she is the Goddess of fire, light, day, and usually danger. As a child she was always getting into trouble, whether it was flinging clumps of dirt at me when we were 3 or blowtorching my homework when we were 11.
"Woo fricken hoo Ariana, you know what? I'm going to go outside to practice my energy balls for a while, let out this anger on someone other than you."
" 'Kay Kiran, just don't get hurt again pleace. It takes me a while to recover after healing someone." I sighed, commanded my shadow to pick up my bags, and headed off to my room.
Kiran POV
As I traipsed out, I couldn't help but envy my sister. She was always so calm, never worried about anything. Yes, I had to looks. My thick black hair cascaded down to my middle back in loose curls, fire-enging red highlights tosses in. It was part of our goddess showing. Luckily humans thought it was of choice. I had the dark complected skin and big green eyes with full lips. I rised above the top models, though most said I put my looks to shame with my "rock" style. Ariana, however, had that fairy-like, ethereal look to her. Every time you looked at her, you wondered if this was a dream or that fairies were real. While I had black hair, hers was white, down to her shoulders in layer with light turquoise highlights. Her skin was pale yet she had the most striking aquamarine eyes you'll ever see. But she was also the sweet one, always ending the fights, saying sorry. I threw some energy balls in rage. To the human eye, we were perhaps the most beautiful seventeen year old girls to walk this planet. Ha! Little did they know that we had basically ended World War Three before its began. Blinking out of my trance, I looked around to see that it was dusk. My element was ending. Slowly, I turned to go inside, to go apologize to my baby sister.
The next morning, I woke to find my sisters eating cereal in the kitchen. Grabbing some orange juice I said, " Hey you wanna check out the area for all the supposed evil this afternoon?"
"Sure, I have nothing better to do… except shopping haha. You're cheery this morning." She looked out the window, " Ah, it's sunny."
"Oh gee thanks sis. No I thought about what you said yesterday and I'm accepting Forks, all the greenness," I motioned around with my hands, " and the danger we are apparently in." I personally thought we were in no danger, but I needed to suck up to Ariana today.
" Great! 'Kay I will meat you outside in an hour." Ariana said, as she washed out the cereal bowl. " Gotta look good in case we meet people!" She winked at me like she knew something. Which she didn't but still.
I ran upstairs to get ready, just in case we actually did find something. Keeping my hair down, I put on my usual smoky eye make up, dark wash jeans, a bright orange cami, a fitted and cropped gray studded blazer, and finished off with my good old knee high heel boots. Then, once I was all ready to go, I began to extract my wings. Slowly, I saw the sunset reds, oranges and pinks faded together on my wings. Looking at the clock, I saw I was 5 minutes late. Uh oh. I imagined my self outside the front door and appeared outside in a burst of light. My sister was waiting for me, tapping her foot in annoyance. She was wearing tan suede ankle books, light skinny jeans, with a long sleeve tight sapphire blue shirt that showed about an inch of her stomach. Wow, I thought, she does know something. "Well don't you look snazzy." I teased her.
" I should say the same thing about you, sis. Hold on, let me open my wings." She was much quicker and instantly I saw the different hues of blue of her wings. " Okay I', ready"
We took three steps off the porch and flew off to survey our surroundings.
Like it? Review if you do and even if you don't. I like criticism. The next chapter should be up in a couple of hours.
