Chapter 2:
We Are One
We both awoke greeted by the deafening darkness and heavey air. We hadn't remembered ever falling asleep, in fact we rarely ever did sleep. We found each others hand to make sure the feeling we had of the other near was real. Then, we decided to inspected the cold metal we could feel clamped around our ankels and wrists. There was in fact one cuff connected to each of our two wrists and ankels that joined with heavy metal chains only a foot and a half long. The chains were bolted into the wall which felt like hard stone.
"A cell?" One of the twins voice sounded through the darkness.
"It was a trap after all…" an equally monotoned voice said.
"We thought of this?"
"Afirmative."
The chains scraped across the rough ground as we stood still keeping ahold of each others hand. The first thing we tried was to teleport, but it failed. Our sensative hearing picked up the sound of approaching footsteps.
"Someone is coming to explain," we both announced allowed as a ray of light filtered in out of a door down the hall we hadn't been able to see was even there. Three figures entered through the doorway and as they did a light over head flashed on just within a few feet of where there were. As they made there way down the hall towards us the lights over head followed suit lighting up when they walked under them.
Exactly eighteen lights had come on by the time they finally stopped infront our cell. It was indeed a long hallway. There were also other cells along the way and when ours became bright enough to see we noticed it wasn't very large. It was perhaps the size of a human prison room just without all the extra essentials. The figures we had seen enter turned out to be two males and a female. They were all wearing the same military rip-off type outfits.
The female was short maybe about 4'11", and she looked bored. Her hair was unnaturally long and bright blonde tied into pigtails. If we were to put it simply she looked like a miniature sailor moon. The first male however was older, late twenties, and he was 6'3". His hair, a curly fountain of auburn, reached his mid-back, and his eyes were the most entense blue we had ever seen. The pupils were pure white. Anyway, the other male was maybe fifteen reaching only 5'6". He had bright orange hair spiked in the back with the front covering his eyes.
The female bit her lip as the other two entered and stayed outside. She obviously was too kind to want to get involved with whatever they had planned for us. The male with the auburn hair walked right up to us and smiled. We had never seen a person of this planet with a smile that handsome that could also chill your soul spinning it into a torturouse loop. The orange haired male stayed back.
With a voice as smooth and deeply lush as silk the elder male said, "My name is Nevern. I'm glad to finally be meeting the infamouse twins."
We both smirked.
"He's heard of us," one twin said.
"And we've never heard of him," the other chimmed.
"That's u-" Thhe man started, but the twins kept going.
"How is it that the military would be recruiting aliens?"
"Seems our kind has gone obedient in our absence."
"It's a shame,but we saw it coming. It seems our race has no more digniy for itself than a ewborn puppy." They said together. "when did it become custom for our males to grow out there hair and peirce there ears? We would have never thought our race to turn queer over the short amount of years during our absence. Though if we remember correctly father wasn't all to straight in himself."
As they had been talking the look on the elder males face had gone from calm, to flat, to almost irritated.
"That's enough!" He barked his deep voice making the command ever more threatening. We did stop, smug grins plastered on our faceses, and as the elder male glared down at us we could'nt help, but to laugh. This in turn mad the male even more annoyed and his cold eyes turned absolutely frozen.
"Jezabell, Zach, we will have tinform the captain that the captves refuse to cooperate."
"What?!" Jezabell blurted confused. "But you did'nt even ask them!" The oher male remained silent.
"Don't question me!" Nevern snapped at her. She flinched.
"Sheesh okay there's no reason to yell," she mumbled.
Nevern looked back at us and with an evil smirk said softly, "You two had your chance."
We both looked at him calmly and with a simple smirk of our own answered, "Let the games begin."
