Chapter 11
No One POV
It was almost Fall Break and the school was getting ready for Thanksgiving. The seats were changed and Rin and Len's seats were beside the window. Rin went to get some snacks while Len stared at the window in a bored way as he watched leaves fall off of the trees.
"Hey Len."
He turned an saw his sister with two candy bars in her hands. She handed one to him and he said "Thanks."
"Welcome." Rin replied to him before she turned to the window. "Do you remember when we left the orphanage?" She asked him.
"Yeah." He replied. "Today marks the 9th anniversary of our escape."
12 years ago, Rin and Len's parents left them at an orphanage called Sunshine Falls. 3 year-old twins Rin and Len looked up at the mansion and turned to their parents. "Names?" The caretaker asked them.
"The girl is Rilliane and the boy is Allen." The mother replied before letting go of her daughter's hand. The caretaker looked down and saw the twins holding hands. "These two are special." She replied. "We've never had a pair of blonde twins before." The father motioned Rin and Len to stand with the caretaker before he and his wife turned their backs on them. "Take care of them." The mother said.
"We will." The caretaker replied before the Kagamine parents started to walk back to their car.
"Mommy. Daddy where are you going?"
"Are you coming back? Don't leave!"
"Daddy!"
The twins started to yell and protest, but the parents never looked back as they drove away. Len hung his head while Rin tried to dry her tears. "They'll be back soon." The caretaker reassured. The two looked up as they followed her inside. They reached the end of the hall and the caretaker stopped. "Boys are on the left, girls are on the right."
"We have this strict rule of separating the girls and the boys." Another caretaker said. Rin strayed closer to her brother. "But I don't wanna leave Len!" She almost yelled. Len squeezed her hand. "We don't like to be apart." He said.
"Apart or not it's still against the rules." The first caretaker said before two others walked in. "Separate them." She said. The female grabbed Rin while the male grabbed Len and broke them apart. "I wanna be with Len!" Rin yelled.
"Rin!" Len got out of the man's grasp as he ran towards his sister. He was about to reach for her hand until he was grabbed again. "I won't leave her!" He yelled. "I made a promise!"
"Allen!"
"Rilliane!"
That was the last the two twins have heard from each other before the door on each side slammed shut.
"Everyone this is your new playmate." The male caretaker took the blonde boy to another room that was full of boys that were ages 3-7. The boys gave Len a cold glare as he turned back to the door. "Rin." Was all he said.
"This is Allen." The caretaker continued. "Be sure to play nice ok?" He closed the door before all of the boys surrounded the male twin. "You're gonna be trouble you know that?" A 6 year-old asked him. Len stayed silent as another boy spoke. "I bet you're probably not a boy. You look alot like a girl."
"Everyone tells me that." Len replied. "I get those looks from my sister."
"Liar." Another boy said. "You said your name is Allen. Your real name is probably Allena right?"
"My name is Allen." The blonde boy replied. "Len for short."
"Oh really now?"
The boys parted a path for a 7 year-old who looked like the leader. He grabbed Len's shirt collar and ripped it off. "Let's see if you really are a girl, or so my buddies say." One boy punched Len and sent him to the floor. "Yeah let's get him!" The 6 year-old yelled while the other boys cheered.
"Girls meet Rilliane." Everyone girl stopped what they were doing and turned to the blonde girl staring at the floor. "I hope you make lots of good friends." The female caretaker said before she closed the door.
"Yeah." Was all Rin said before she turned to the door. "Oh Len."
"Who's Len?" One girl asked. "Your imaginary friend?"
"My twin." Rin replied. Another girl touched her hair. "We've never had a girl with blonde hair come here before." She said before she grabbed it. "Say." She said. "Can I have it for myself?"
Night fell as soon as the sun rose. A maid went to check on the boys until she found an almost dead blonde at the door. She immediately realized his name was Allen, one of the new blonde twins that arrived here earlier. He looked up. "Mommy?" He asked. The woman shook her head no. "Afraid not." She said. "But my manager did tell me to take care of you."
"Wha?" The maid picked him up and took him to what looked like a dorm room to him. "You see, each child has a servant." The maid continued as she cleaned him up. "Only a few boys have maids." Len looked up. "So. . . " He said, hoping she would finish the sentence for him. "I'm your maid." She finished. Len nodded before saying "You're nice."
"And the other boys aren't?"
Len looked down. "They don't like me because of my hair." he said. "And I look like a girl." The maid ruffled his hair. "I don't care if you have blonde hair like your sister." She said. "My name is Masako. I already know who you are. And your sister."
"Have you seen Rin?" Len asked her. Masako set a hand to her chin. "Rin? I thought her name was Rilliane."
"She said that name is icky so she liked to be called Rin." The boy replied. "And I like to be called Len cause I think the name Allen is icky too."
"I think it's a cute name." Masako said as she smiled. "Now time for bed."
"Oh that day." Len looked at his right hand before he turned to Rin. "My hand was separated from yours."
"For the first time too." said Rin. They were in the courtyard sitting under a tree. "We were holding hands ever since we were born huh." She said. "Or at least that's what Auntie said."
"You saw the picture." said Len before he laughed. "It was like someone super-glued our hands together." He looked down again. "A year later, I thought of an idea on how we would see each other."
"I remember when we first saw each other again." said Rin as she looked up. "At least they let us play together during recess."
"Yeah but they separated us from a fence." said Len.
Gray clouds covered the sky. The Mistress of the orphanage opened a door, and all of the children were let outside for recess. Four-year old Allen Kagamine was the last of the boys to run outside, only he didn't run. He looked up an took a breath of the fresh air around him. He turned to his left and his eyes widened as he saw the familiar blonde looking right at him from behind a fence. As he made his way towards the fence, he ran around boys who were trying to play football or soccer until he reached his sister, Rilliane. "It's you." She said.
"Hey." He said. He tried to fit his hand through the fence but he could only manage a few fingers. "I wanted to see you Rin." He said. "Ever since we got here, I've wanted to see you." He looked up again and saw that some bangs were hovering over her eye. "What happened?" He asked. "Rin tell me." Rin moved the hair only to show a black eye. "I didn't think you would notice." She said.
Len could only stare as Rin covered the eye again. "Hey Rin." He said. "I have an idea on how we could see each other." Rin looked up. "Really?"
"Yeah." Len said before his voice turned into a whisper. "But no one can find out about this." Rin nodded. "Pinky swear?" Len stuck out his pinky before Rin shook it with hers. "Alright." Len whispered. "I found this secret passage into the basement. I thought it was a good hiding spot since barely anyone goes down there."
"Good idea." said Rin before she giggled. Then the bell rang, signaling that it's time to go back inside, but the twins didn't move an inch. "It's those two again." The Mistress growled before she sent two caretakers to separate them. Len saw a man coming for him and he whispered to Rin. "I'll see you there tonight after lights out. It's by the staircase beside the girls' dorm." The man yanked his arm and dragged him away, while he looking longingly at Rin, who was also dragged away.
Me: Damn. The twins have a hell for a past. If you guys are wondering yes, their hands were holding when they were born. I know it sounds weird but that can happen. Remember that Christian story where a guy was born while holding his brother's heel(I forgot their names)?
