(Years later)
"Laya are you listening to me?"
Laya blinked, coming back to her reality and looked up at her sister. "I'm sorry what?"
Reiya shook her head, black waves falling over her shoulder. "You've had your head in the clouds a lot lately." She sat down next to the blonde haired blue-eyed beauty. "Is there something you want to talk about?"
Laya looked over at Reiya and smiled. "No, its nothing, just thinking about that dream again and besides you know me, I'm always daydreaming about something."
Reiya nodded. "Yes and that's not healthy. Come back to reality more often."
Laya rolled her eyes and looked out the window at the five-acre back yard they owned. The both of them had always been attracted to the country and woods. They felt they could breathe in the open land unlike in the cramped cities. They liked their privacy as well.
Reiya tapped Laya on the head. "Reality."
Laya stood up and walked across the living room into the kitchen. "Give me a break Rey. How do you know this is reality? How do you know that there aren't other worlds like in fairy tales or fantasy books."
Reiya stretched out on the couch. "Because there is no proof."
Laya slammed the refrigerator door. "Aren't we proof enough? What other human being has ears like we do? How about our sleeping patterns? We sleep once every two weeks and to top that off, we sleep with our eyes open! That's not normal!"
Reiya sighed and twirled a lock of her hair around her finger. Her sister was too curious for her own good. One of these days she was somehow going to find out and it will be hell on earth.not to mention Middle Earth if she ever found her way back. Rey sat up. They had had this conversation one too many times. "The doctor said the ears were a small deformity at birth. Besides lots of people have sleeping problems we weren't born with the capability of closing our eyes when we slept."
Laya wasn't convinced as usual. "Alright, you can come up with some logical excuses for all that, how about this?" Laya lifted her hand up and slammed it down on the counter as at the same time a bolt of lightning split the large tree in the back yard in half.
Reiya frowned and walked out onto the patio. "I liked that tree."
Laya followed her outside. "You haven't explained my ability to control the elements, you never could."
Reiya sighed. "I can't explain that alright?"
Laya nodded. "Exactly, you can't. In fact I'm not even supposed to be able to do that."
Reiya sighed. "Laya you're not supposed to be able to do a lot of things, both of us shouldn't be able to do a lot of things but we can. For heaves sake Lay, your almost 40 and I'll be 70 soon but people wouldn't believe us. That's why we tell them you're 20 and I'm 25. "
Laya searched her sister's eyes before they turned away from the blue spheres. "Tell me you don't understand this Rey. Tell me we're just some kind of immortal freaks of nature."
Reiya shrugged. "We're immortal freaks nature." Rey looked over at the setting sun, half hidden behind the forest. "It's getting late, I'll go in and start dinner."
Laya watched her sister walk into the house then looked at the sun, almost completely hidden behind the forest now. It called to her, the forest did, a silent call as if to come home. So many times she had hidden in t hose wood, away from the world that destroys itself. However reality would always come calling and she would have to leave her safe haven. "There's something you're not telling me Reiya, something you never do. One day though, you're going to tell me and I'm going to know why I'm so different." Laya then turned and walked into the house she had lived in for 30 long years.
