Chapter 2

I stared at the vampire that my sister knew as Ayden, "A soul eater?"

"Did you think soulless were born that way?"

"No, but still," I turned to Myra.

She looked at me, I could see the fact that she was scared, who wouldn't be? If you were face to face with a creature that caused your mother's death, "Hey, Myra, calm down, it'll be alright." She looked at me and nodded,

"Thanks, Terry, it's just so weird."

I just nodded, it's been so long since she called me by my nickname, and it was good to hear it again.

"Myra, Terran, sorry to interrupt the big emotional family time, but we have a problem."

I snapped my attention back to Ayden, "So how do we beat it?"

"Give me a minute, I need to remember."

I felt my jaw drop, "You what?!"

"Terran, watch out!"

I yelped as my sister did a split second phase and pushed me out of the way of the oncoming soul eater, but in the process left her wolf self open to it. I watched in horror as the soul eater wrapped part of its cloak around my sister and start to eat her soul; as I watched I saw that as it was eating it looked as though a ghostly sleeping human Myra was being sucked into that endless darkness. Shooting pain then coursed through my body and I felt as though my OWN soul was being eaten, wait, Myra and I are twins, you eat ones soul you eat the others. I screamed in agony, and I'm guessing Ayden heard this because then the pain subsided. I watched as the vampire took a black sword and slashed through the soul eater wounding it and sending it fleeing.

"Myra, are you alright?" Both of us screamed in her general direction.

I hobbled over to where her body lay limp and if possible, paler then before. My legs were still weak and seeing my sister in that condition made it no better. I collapsed on the ground next to her and just stared into her sleeping face. The face that was usually smiling or making me laugh, the face of my beloved sister and alpha, it was so strange, just seeing her lying there a look of total serenity on her face.

"Myra?" I turned my head to the honey haired vampire beside me.

"Why isn't she waking?" When the vampire looked up at me his eyes went wide with shock.

"I-I thought she was the one who's soul was being taken." I looked at him with a look of total confusion one my face.

"What do you mean?"

"Y-your eyes- I mean eye, it looks like that of a soulless."

"Eye, but it thought both eyes were hollow if you're a soulless?"

We shifted our attention back to Myra as she phased back to human form. "Terran, did you feel the pain as well?" Her voice was still the same as always, not the dead monotone of a soulless.

"Yeah, but shouldn't you be a soulless?"

"Um, no, I asked dad 'bout that," she stated blinking her new eyes, one a hollow sky blue with no pupil, the other the same color but with a waxing crescent moon pupil, "And he said that since we're twins and all, if someone tries to take my soul they only get half, but if they get to you and me, they get two souls, because half of my soul and half of your soul makes one and vice versa."

"So, then what your saying is that a soul eater can only get your soul if they eat his soul AND your soul?" Ayden asked.

"Exactly, but dad also said that since we're wolf twins it affects differently from human twins, like the fact that we're both still normal but have the appearance of half-soulless ones." I stared blankly at my sister and Ayden, this conversation was really confusing. I became even more confused when Myra started laughing.

"What's so funny My?" I asked using my sister's nickname.

"Your expression, it's so cute and innocent!" She finished her sentence then started rolling around laughing where she was lying. Seeing her laugh so hard she was crying made me laugh too and then even Ayden's musical laugh joined in. Maybe Myra was right, maybe this vampire was different.
