-Amelia's Perspective-


I uttered a groan as my eyes cracked open to unfamiliar scenery after an unusually strange dream involving my sister Lynette, myself and a odd voice which came out of nowhere. As I sat up, I noticed a faint pain echoing out from my neck, I rubbed it, in an urge to make it go away. I stared confused at the scenery surrounding me...how in the heck did I wind up in a forest?

"Oh...where am I? I muttered to myself as my eyes glanced around at the forest that was surrounding the clearing I was in, my hand still resting on the back of my neck, the pain vanishing into a tingling sensation, akin to the feeling that develops when your foot or hand falls asleep.

A seriously curious expression fell across my face, I wasn't sure how I'd fallen asleep, but however I did I had missed quite a bit while I was out. Last I remember, I was in the car with Lynette and our Mom, driving, at night.... And here I was smack in the middle of forest, in broad day light. I was pretty sure that I hadn't jumped worlds or something in my sleep, like that was actually possible. But, the fauna that was surrounding me looked rather odd, unlike any plants I'd seen in the seventeen years of my life.

What was weirder...some of them even seemed to be moving...though I was fairly confident that wasn't possible. Other plant life though, seeming not to move, intrigued me, I'd never ever seen before! One plant for example, instead of having green leaves, it instead bore lovely crimson leaves, the plant seemed almost as if instead of taking it water, it instead had been absorbing blood! It was truly captivating to look at, but eerily odd at the same time...especially the way that the petals/leaves were in such an orderly fashion. Plants normally didn't grow that way from what I knew.

I dropped my hand off of my neck and into the soft grass, "Hey...Lynette, where are we and what are those plants?" I asked, I assumed that my clingy twin sister was right next to me. I don't really know why I asked her, it's not as if she would know! She wasn't a biologist! I just asked because she's always next to me, so I can always ask her, even if she didn't know the answer to my question, she would always give me an answer, even if it was an, 'I don't know.' or just something she came up with on the spot, an hypothesis.

That...and she kept me calm. She kept my emotions from going out of whack, or me from getting too angry. I did some good for her too, such as, if I'm not around her she tends to clam up and not say a word , even then, she's almost completely silent.

When I was around, she normally could handle herself better, such as keeping her half of our room

clean, she's a bit of a...well, should I say, a pack rat at times. She tends to let things just sit around and she doesn't clean them up until Mom starts getting mad at her, or unless I start getting after her for it. As long as I say something to her on a daily basis she does tend to pick up after herself.

When the girl didn't answer me, "Uh...Lynette...?" I said again. Again, when I got no reply from her, I started to panic, I twisted around and got to my hands and knees, looking around in every direction for her. She just had to be around!

I scrambled onto my feet as fast as I could, "Lynette!!!" I called out again, looking behind the trees that surrounded me. And again I found myself with nothing more than silence for a reply....

Repeatedly, I cried out my sister's name, hoping to hear her voice in response, but every time I found myself only receiving the sounds of nature that surrounded me as a response. I ran around, checking every possible place my sister could be, whether it was a bush, shrub, I even climbed up a few trees just to be sure!

When I couldn't find her, I felt my heart rate increase dramatically, and my breathing rate double. My heart raced in tempo with my feet as I ran, looking for a way out of the forest. I was very dependant on my sister, just as she was dependant on me. My thoughts raced and many unpleasant thoughts began to cloud my head...

'What if she's in danger!?'

'What if something horrible has happened to her?!'

'What would she do then?!'

'What then?!'

Those thought's kept racing through my mind...and as they raced through me, I attempted to push them away and convince myself that she was fine, and that she was just hidden somewhere, where she couldn't hear me yelling for her. I abruptly came to stop, taking in the deepest breath I could....

"LYNETTE, WHERE ARE YOU?!" I shouted as loudly as my throat would allow.

And...at that moment a voice cried out to me, "Amelia!!!" I turned and ran in the direction of the shout, the caller repeating my name over and over. Eventually, it sounded as if my hard footsteps were being shadowed by another's, Lynette, it had to my sister!

"Lynette!" I stopped and focused my hearing on the footsteps, "She's that way!" I said to myself, picking my running pace back up and running toward the sound of her footsteps. I did finally reach her, but not before she took a tumble to the ground...by the time I spotted her she was teetering back and forth, trying to regain her balance on the uneven, rocky ground.... Now normally, in that situation I would have caught her, but I wasn't quick enough to get to her.

I darted over to her to help her up, "Lynette, are you okay?" I asked her with a little concern in my voice, as this was a rather common thing for Lynette, it seemed that she had been born the arch enemy of gravity or something akin to that fact...though I wasn't as sure if it was Gravity, or it was that her ear fluids were off.... I held my hand out to my twin to help her get back to her feet.

"Y-Yes I'm–EPP!" she had been reaching out to take my hand only...she'd fallen backwards again before she got that far.... I let out a loud sigh at her, yep...this was definitely my sister Lynette. "Oh...I'm sorry Amelia...." she muttered, her face turning beet red as she took hold of my hand and I hoisted her back to her feet.

When she was back to her feet, from looking her front over, it seemed pretty apparent that she had

taken several tumbles, that was due to the gaping holes that had been ripped into the knees of her loose jeans. And what made it more apparent was that she had dirt covering her shirt and her jacket, which was tied around her waist, dirt had also built up on her arms, and onto the now exposed skin of her knees.

"Lynette what are you sorry for? You just fell." I said to her, crossing my arms, "After all it is not your fault, I blame Gravity."

She let out a nervous giggle, "R-Right! Sorry!" she let out in a squeak after looking at my aggravated expression. Her face began to turn a brighter red.

I groaned at her, "Enough with the sorries before I go Lloyd on you!" I shouted at her, knowing that if I didn't that she would keep saying sorry for everything.

"R-Right!" she let out in another high squeak as she was patting the dirt off her jeans and shirt. Though, she untied the jacket that had been around her waist, and instead of patting it down, she instead shook it out...of course with my luck I had been taking in a deep breath of air when she did that and sucked all the dirt and junk in from the jacket. I let out a choked cough, trying to get all of the junk out of my lungs from Lynette's jacket.

Lynette teared up, "Oh! Amelia I'm so sorry!" she shouted, gripping her hands over her mouth while I continued to choke out the dust. "A-Are you okay...?" she asked.

After I finished up the last round of coughs, "Y-Yeah...I'm j-just p-peachy...." I said sarcastically, resisting the urge to cough.

Lynette let out a loud whine at that, "I'm sorry!!!" she said red faced.

I planted my hands directly on my hips and looked at her with a death glare, "Lynette Ebony what did I say to you earlier?!" I asked her sternly.

She looked up at me fearfully, like a child to a stern or upset parent. "That if I didn't stop saying 'sorry' you'd go Lloyd on me...." she muttered out, gripping her hands together while she had herself hunched over in a position that just screamed, "I'm very shy!"

"Right and what do I always say about you needing to stand up straight?!" I said to her.

She flinched at my tone, "That if I don't stand straight, my spine'll grow this way...."

"Yes, and what do we do when I tell you that?" I asked her through my teeth.

"T-This...." she stood with her back straight at my words, leaving her only a smidgen shorter than I.

I let out a sigh, taking my arms away from my hips and crossing them. "Just what am I to do with you...?" I muttered to myself while I shook my head.

She grimaced, "I don't know...."

While I sighed to myself at my sister's actions, a light bulb went off in my head, me remembering

what I had wanted to ask her since I'd woken up a few hours ago.

"Oh yeah Lynette, I wanted to ask you, where are we?" I asks her, arching my eyebrow in a questioning manner.

I saw her bite her lip, hesitating to tell me her answer, "I-I'm not sure...." she looked at me with tears in her eyes.

I uncrossed my arms and looked at the girl in surprise, Lynette, as easily as she embarrassed, and as shy as she was, hardly ever shed a tear or cried...I was always tough on my twin, but that was only because I wanted to help her break out of the shell she'd encased herself in, I'd been this way hundreds of time before, and she'd never cried...I wonder, did I go to far this time? Or was I to hard on her? I didn't think that I had, I'd done more than that before after all....

"Lynette, what's wrong? D-Did I go to far?" I asked her.

She turned away from me, "It's nothing...." she said quietly.

"Like I believe that! Lynette, you're crying right now. What is wrong?" I know that it isn't good to pry, but my sister just randomly burst into tears right in front of me, I had to make sure it wasn't me, and figure out what was wrong.

"I mean it Amelia! Nothing is wrong." she answered me in a shout.

"Was it me...?" I asked myself quietly, not really to her but more to myself, wondering if that I had indeed gone to far.
