A/N: Once again, hello everyone!

Don't lose your way...


The moon was high in the sky that fateful night. She showed us a full face, pale and perfect, bathing the dark forest in light.

Our parents had led us deep into the forest, and though my brother and I constantly asked questions, we were not answered. "Mother, what happiness awaits us at the end of this path?"

Mother shuddered slightly before steadying out her pace. I remarked aloud, "When we get there, do we get our favourite snacks?" Still, I was ignored.

My lips formed a pout and I clasped the hand of my younger twin brother all the more tightly. I feared that if I released him, I'd never see him again.


My sister's hand closed firmly over mine. She pretended not to be disturbed by Mother and Father ignoring her, but I knew better. I spoke up, "Father, is God waiting for us at the end of this path?"

Father turned around with a sad look in his eye, as if something unavoidable would be happening. I wondered why he looked at us with such a sad face.


"Sister, where are our parents taking us?"

"I have no idea." Be quiet, Hänsel.

"Doesn't it seem a little bit suspicious?"

"What do you mean?" He's over thinking this.

"Why are we even out here in the first place?"

"Don't ask me." Just shut up!

"Sister, where did our parents go?"

Wait, what? What is he talking about? Our parents are right –


"Gretel, I'm scared," I whimpered pitifully, huddling closer to my sister's warm body. "Where did our parents go?"

"I don't know." This is first time that I have heard my sister sound so lost and frightened.


I knew the exact reason why our parents were gone. They had abandoned us, left us alone in this forest to die.

But why? Why had they done this? I didn't know the answer to those questions, but I knew that something else was certain.

If we kept going deeper into the forest, there'd be no going back.


I was not as stupid as I appeared, and quickly caught on to the situation.

I couldn't believe it. Our parents had abandoned us? Why did they do such a thing? "Gretel, why did Mother and Father leave us all alone?"

"Try being quieter, Hänsel! If you talk too loudly, the Ursaring and Misdreavus will hear us!" My sister hissed as she glanced around wildly, trying to find where we were.

It's hopeless. Even with the moon's light we couldn't see the path. Would it be possible to find our way home?


We walked for ages, wandering aimlessly. We're not certain what we have to do.

We don't have any reason not to hold hands.


My brother sighed, and kicked the ground in front of him. "Do you have any ideas on where to go?"

I couldn't say that I did, but there was something that struck me. A luminous glow shone from the glass bottle's depths.

"Let me see that bottle for a second," I snatched it off of his neck.

Immediately, Hänsel made a huge ruckus. "Hey! Give it back!" He reached for the bottle, but I turned my body and held it high above my head.

"Look here, brother," I pointed to the bottle's glowing interior. "I see moonlight in your bottle."

"How's that possible?" This time, I allowed him to take the bottle from me. His eyes furrowed in concentration as he observed the bottle, turning it this way and that. The pale light did not change in intensity as he did so, nor did it flicker. The light continued to burn steadily. One might have even said that the light was becoming brighter over time…


For whatever reason, moonlight was trapped within the bottle! It really was quite strange, but that didn't matter. At least we could find our way home now.

"Sister? Do you think we can find our way home now?" I asked while examining the bottle.

"Yes, I think so, Hänsel."

"Then let's turn around." But once we turned around and headed back the way we came, doubts began to surface.


How do we know this road is the right one?

It doesn't matter. Let's just keep walking.


Somehow we managed to get back. I recognized the path now: it's definitely the way back home!

I took off running, my little brother right on my heels. "Can you believe it, brother? We've found it! We've found our home!"


I was just as happy as my sister, and I eagerly bounded up the doorsteps.

But as soon as I knocked on the door, a switch was flipped from deep inside of us…


"Oh, Edmond!" The blue-haired woman sobbed pitifully into the arms of her husband. "Why did we have to do such a thing?"

"I'm sorry, Celeste. But they were never our children to begin with." Edmond rubbed Celeste's back gently. "Perhaps they'll be in a happier place now."

Celeste wrenched herself out of her beloved's grasp and stood up. "You absolutely can't say that!" Just as she was about to go on, there was a knock on the door.

"Hold on a minute, dear. Someone's knocking on the door."

"Who could it be at such an ungodly hour?" Celeste sat down with a huff, still reeling from Edmond's harsh words earlier.

"I'll get it," Edmond rose to his feet with a sigh and trudged to the door. He reached for the doorknob...


"How did you…?" That false father muttered.

Well, I made short work of him. How evil of him to pretend to be our father, when in all reality he was really the witch's henchman?


That false mother shrieked in fear (or was it anger?).

I walked over to where she stood and gave her a great, big shove. How dare that witch pretend to be our mother? She's committed one too many sins to be allowed to stay alive.


Kill the evil witch. Shove her into the burning oven.

Kill her henchman. Drive a knife into his stomach.

Once they're gone, we'll surely find true happiness.


I panted in exhilaration. That was it. The horrible witch was gone. "Oh Mother, won't you be proud of me? I've defeated the evil witch."


My mouth curved into a smirk. "Father, wouldn't you be proud of me? Her henchman is gone, too."


With the crackle of burning fuel in the background, my brother and I slumped to the ground in exhaustion. "Can you believe it, Hänsel?"

"Not really, Gretel," was his reply.

But somehow, it was all real. That cruel witch would never live to see another day, and good riddance.


"Gretel?" I asked my sister. "Don't you think this is a good place to settle?"

"Hmm, I'm going to have to agree with you." My sister tucked a long strand of hair behind her ear. "This place has a familiar feel to it."


Let's go find our real mother and father.


A/N: I really tried to tone it down at the end. The song got pretty dark in the middle, so I made it seem as though the souls of Levia-Behemo awoke when the twins knocked on the door, instead of them already affecting the twin's decisions.
