"Alle! Alle!" Halle shouted as he burst into the room they shared, waving a piece of paper above his head. Alle lookes up from his book. He had been home from school for a grand total of an hour, waiting for his brother to get back from soccer practice, and already his peace was disturbed. Halle jumped onto Alle's bed, messing up the covers and making the pillows bounce off in the process. He shoved the paper in Alle's face. "LOOK! LOOK!" He all but screams at his brother. Alle tries to back away, fearing a violent outburst from his older brother.

"Halle, Halle! Stop! I can't see if you put it that close!" Alle yells to be heard over his ecstatic brother. Halle calms down just enough to back away and put the paper in proper viewing distance, but he's still bouncing around.

"I got accepted! I got accepted!" Halle cheers.

"For what?" Alle asks, holding the paper still so that he can read it without the bouncing movements of his brother.

"Soccer camp! Soccer camp!" Halle cheers. Alle seems to get sad at this, but quickly changes his expression to be happy for his brother.

"That's...that's great!" Alle states.

"I know! It's awesome! There aren't any forms to sign, or fees to pay, just the regular players get to go! And I was selected as the starting forward!" Halle continues to talk, not noticing Alle's dejected look.

"W-when will you be going?" Alle asks, gulping.

"In a few weeks I guess. Anyway, there's this guy that we get to meet at the camp, he's so cool! And..." Alle doesn't hear the rest, all he can think of is that the two will be separated for that. Halle wouldn't be there, and he would have nobody to run to when their father was drunk. Going into the cellar alone was scary. He always felt like something would come out of the darkness and swallow him up.

It was sunset before Halle finally stopped talking. The two boys heard the door slam, and the telltale slurred speech of their father.

"CRAP!" Halle hissed, diving under his bed to get the hatch open. Alle followed, slowly and silently climbing off the bed. The door slowly started to open as Halle fumbled with the board.

"Halle! He's coming!" Alle cried.

Halle heard the fear in his brother's voice and tried, unsuccessfully, to lift the board. The door creaked open and their very drunk father stumbled in. The twins quickly stopped messing with the board, for fear of their father finding their sanctuary. The turned around and faced him, like dogs caught doing something wrong.

"Eh? What're ya two idiots doin'?" Their father slurred. "Ah well, come 'ere ya brats!" He yelled. When the two did not comply he grew angry and grabbed the two. "I said come 'ere, brats!" He had Halle by the ankle and Alle by his small wrist.

"EEK! Halle! I'm scared!" Alle screamed.

"Damn it! Let go! Let go! Alle!" Halle screamed, kicking at the man with all his strength. It was all in vain; the evil man had them in a strong grip, even drunk, and was carting them off somewhere.

He was taking them to the laundry room. Halle saw this and knew what he was planning on doing. He had planned on doing this to Alle as a joke, but now it didn't seem so funny.

He was going to drop them in the washing machine.

"NO! LET GO! LET GO!" Halle screamed, kicking with renewed vigour.

"SHAD'UP!" Their father yelled, lifting Halle by his foot above the machine. Halle looked down and saw that the machine was on, and was filled with cold, soapy water.

"NO! LET GO OF HALLE! LET HIM GO!" Alle screamed, squirming and trying to bite the man.

Their father did let Halle go, but not the way Alle wanted. He dropped Halle into the washing machine.

"NO!" Alle screamed as the man laughed and then lifted Alle to eye level.

"Now, I'm gonna be doin' to you what we did last time, 'kay?" The man sneered. His breath reeked of alcohol and Alle nearly gagged before he was thrown onto the floor, hard. His father proceeded to try to take his clothes off, but Alle fought him.

"NO! STOP! LET GO! LET GO!" Alle screamed, kicking, screaming, biting, and crying for all it was worth.

"STOP SQUIRMIN', BITCH!" The man shouted before slapping Alle, leaving three bleeding marks on his cheek. Alle reeled from the hit, and stopped fighting for a millisecond. That was all the time their father needed to get his belt off.

"STOP! STOP!" Alle screamed. Repressed memories of the last time his father did this flooded into his mind, making him cry all the more.

"GET OFFA HIM!" Alle heard before the heavy man on top of him was thrown off. Their father passed out, drunk, on the cold floor. Alle didn't see who or what had saved him, he didn't care, memories of the last time were still playing in his mind.

"No...stop...no!" Alle screamed.

"Alle? ALLE!" Halle shouted his brother's name, trying to snap him out of it. But Alle seemed not to hear him, and every time he tried to touch him his hand was roughly batted away. Halle freaked out. He didn't know what to do. They had a passed out drunk right there that could wake up at any second and do that to them again, he was cold, wet, and shivering, and his brother was acting like a nut-job.

"Alle! Alle, calm down! It's over! It's over!" Halle screamed, hugging his brother. Alle just lies in his embrace, shaking. Halle is crying now. He looks at their passed out father, thinking whether he should kill him or not. He decided against it, Alle was top priority right now. He scooped his brother up into his arms and ran back to their room, throwing open the hatch and jumping in.

To be continued...
