A six-year-old Raven sat coloring a picture. Rose sat next to her and was playing with a strange toy.

"Raven, would you like to play?" Rose asked.

"No."

"Please?"

"No. I'm coloring."

Rose looked hurt and like she was about to cry. Raven, noticing this, sighed and set down her color.

"Would you like to color?" she asked.

"Yes!" the delighted cry came from the smaller of the two girls. Her rose-red hair hung curled around her face and fell to below her shoulders.

Raven gave a tiny, brief smile. Her hair was a deep violet that fell just a tiny bit past her chin. She settled back to her coloring. Rose lay down on her stomach and began humming a cheerful tune as she colored.

A young woman came in and noticed the pair. She gave a small smile as she observed the two girls.

"Momma! Momma! Look at what I drew!" Rose yelled, giving her mom a hug. She held the picture out for the woman to see.

"Oh that's very nice," she said, looking at the drawing.

It was a messy picture of Rose and Raven, both were smiling.

"Who are these people?" her mother asked.

"That's me and my best friend. My twin Raven!" Rose answered.

Raven came over to look at the picture.

"Do me a favor," their mother asked, "No matter what happens, always, always be there for each other. O.k.?"

"Yes Mommy," both girls replied.


Rose sat on a bed in the spare room she had been given. She reached into a pocket and pulled out a picture of two smiling girls. It looked like it had been drawn by a six year old. She felt tears fall down her cheesk. She didn't bother stopping them. Silently, she sobbed, tears falling onto the picture she hugged tightly.
Just so that you know, italics like above mean a flashback. (If you couldn't tell.)
