Chapter One:

Nora and her twin, Aditya, were playing hide and tag (basically a mix of hide 'n seek and tag) with their older siblings, Nathan and Carah. Carah, a 17-year-old girl with copper colored hair and blue eyes, was the seeker-tagger while the others hid. Nathan, a 15-year-old boy with dark brown hair and grey eyes, ran west while the two 14-year-olds went north. Aditya, an exact copy of Nora but with gold and blue eyes and black and yellow hair, led her older twin to a stream that glistened in the sun.

"Whoa, this is beautiful" Nora whispered in awe.

The slightly younger twin couldn't help but agree.

"We should name it" Aditya smiled.

"It's not a pet Adity'" Nora scolded lightly.

"It isn't until you give it a name" the other girl responded, "I'm calling it Strayrak"

Nora couldn't help but laugh at the strange name.

"And that means?" Nora asked after calming.

"Crystal"

The older of the two smiled, "Crystal huh? And what do you think Aditya means?"

"Metempsychosis"

The black and silver haired girl tilted her head slightly, "and that means?"

"Revival"

"Nora means Healing Survivor" the younger smiled sadly.

Nora was surprised at this, "I thought it meant 'honor'"

Aditya shrugged, "I saw the translations in mama's book given to her by real papa"

"You went through-" a loud 'bang!' Of thunder interrupted her, "we should get back to camp"

The two took off running, staying close to each other, as rain poured down hitting them. Light flashed against the now dark sky and a streak of raw electricity hit the tree next to them. The two shrieked and ran faster. Weird smelling, grey fog curled around them and they coughed.

"Ad-*cough* Aditya *cough* cover yo-*cough*-ur face" Nora ordered before pulling her shirt over her nose and mouth.

Aditya followed suit.

The two heard the familiar sound of Firetrucks and pushed themselves to go faster. They saw the flashing lights of the Emergency Vehicles when a tree fell, blocking their path.

"W-we're no*cough* not gon*harsher coughing*" Aditya collapsed to her knees as she coughed uncontrollably.

Nora quickly moved to her sister's side and pulled the smaller girl into her chest.

"Shh *cough* Adity' *cough* concentrate o*cough*n bre*cough*breathing" Nora instructed as she rubbed her sisters' back.

More coughs came from the younger twin, Nora pulled away and took off her white, long-sleeve sweater and tried it to her sisters' head (covering her nose and mouth). The older than pulled her sister back into her chest as they coughed.

"No*cough* Nora *cough*"

"Sa*cough*save your stren*cough* strength"

"'M-skrd Starla" Aditya whimpered.

"Me too Aditya" Nora murmured hoarsely and closed her burning eyes, "me too"

The 14-year-old didn't hear the voices coming closer, she didn't feel the hands grabbing her and she didn't feel the temperature turn cold. All she noticed was her twins coughing stopped and her chest was slightly sticky before darkness enveloped her.

…

The constant sound of "beep. Beep. beep" was the first thing Nora heard as she slowly regained consciousness. Her body was numb from unuse (AN: Whatever the word for not using in a long time is) and her brain was foggy. The girl opened her eyes slowly but quickly closed them when a bright light invaded her senses. The 14-year-old tried again but this time she blinked until her sensitive eyes adjusted. She found herself in a hospital room and groaned.

The door opened to reveal an African male with dark brown eyes walking in. He looked surprised to see her awake but quickly recovered.

"Miss Night" he walked closer, "I'm glad you are awake"

Nora narrowed her eyes at the stranger (Hehehe DOCTOR STRANGE), "why am I here? Where's my family?"

The man gave her a sad look, a look of pity, before answering, "I am sorry to inform you Miss Night but there was a forest fire where your family was camping. You were the only survivor."
