"Please Arthur I am begging you, do not do this." My voice was urgent as I took my brothers hand to stop him making another big mistake in life.
"What other choice do I have. If I sit here and do nothing somebody might die."
"And if you do something, we both will." His tensed fist relaxed slightly as his chocolate brown eyes looked at me knowing deep down I was right. I smiled softly as he sighed sitting across from me in the diner booth.
"This is wrong Amelia, I know you want to stay hidden from the world but I can't go on like this, bad, terrible things keep happening all around us and what do we do, we sit back and pretend like it's ok."
"I just want to survive Arthur that's all, there is no crime in that."
"Haven't we survived for long enough, maybe it's time to let fate take its cause."
"Look at me, Arthur look at me. This isn't the way, please I am begging you." I wanted to cry if my god damn eyes would let me but that hadn't been the case for over one hundred and twenty five years, not one single tear had fell down my cheek, no matter how hard I tried to force them from my eyes.
"Ok...alright, but Mia things have got to change, I feel like i am walking around on this earth without a purpose. I feel as if I'm alive but I'm not living and where's the point in that."
"We have fun don't we?" I sat upright by the tone of my brothers angst.
"There's only so much fun you can have with you're sister and I feel like we have certainly outlived our fun together." He pushed back the strands of hair that flopped into his eyes.
"What has gotten in to you today?"
"Nothing besides the fact that I've just seen a robbery going on in my mind that's about to come true in the next few minutes, and how we are going to just walk out of here before it does, whilst all these people just enjoying their days are non the wiser."
"Blank it out Arthur, if people find out what we are they will kill us."
"Look at that couple with their young toddler, you can honestly say you are happy to leave here now with only god knows what might happen to them."
"I'm not a superhero Arthur and neither are you!" I stood up taking my coat in my hand. "Now let's go."
"When did you become this heartless?"
"When I learnt I had to survive, when I learnt that humans detest us, ...Arthur stop it." I grabbed my temples as an image flashed through my mind.
"I can't make them stop Amelia, we need to get everyone out of here and now, you have just seen what's going to happen." I sighed throwing my coat to the table. I loved my brother dearly but he was always going to be my weakness, and he knew this.
"Fine but after this we need to talk!" He nodded as I walked over to the wall next to the kitchen, placing my elbow over the fire alarm, I gave it a sharp jolt as the noise of the alarm echoed around the diner causing everyone to stand up in panic.
"Everyone outside, please do not run, it's probably a false alarm, everyone out to the car park, as calmly and as quickly as possible." A young man no more than the age of twenty calmly spoke as he showed everyone the way out. "You to miss." His smile was warm and concerned as he brushed my arm, I gasped as I felt a sense of electric run through my body, something I had never felt before in my entire lifetime the feeling was indescribable but all I knew was it would stay with me forever."Miss are you ok?" His green eyes sparkled like emeralds they were truly mesmerising as the dark curls sat loosely on the top of his head. He was undoubtedly the most striking man I had ever had the pleasure of crossing paths with.
"Mia, come on, let's go." Arthur handed me my coat as he pulled me from the diner. "What was that in there?"
"What do you mean I did as you wanted didn't I?" I escaped the long blonde curls of my hair from the nape of my coat as I began to walk.
"You know that isn't what I meant." He pulled me to a halt as I pressed my lips tightly together. "You felt it didn't you?" His eyes widened as I ignored his questioning. "Don't try and deny it, I feel every emotion you do remember and right now you are a mess."
"Can we not do this now please, that's the last time I do you a favour." I may not be able to cry no longer but unfortunately I could still feel myself blushing with embarrassment and I knew Arthur could feel this too.
"What are you going to do about it?"
"I'm going to go home and do what we have done the past one hundred and twenty five years of our lives."
"And that is?"
"Nothing Arthur absolutely nothing!"
I hated that my brother was making me realise, what was our actual purpose in this world. Before I was content with just existing in the shadows, being Amelia Bligh the young carefree twenty year old who had nobody but her twin brother to talk to, being twenty two was ok but being twenty two for one hundred and twenty five years was a different story, it was become lonely and sometimes tiresome, I didn't want Arthur to know I was feeling this way but it was becoming apparent he to was feeling like he needed more from this life, the uncertainty was what did we both need and was it the same thing.
