THE TWIN SISTERS: RIMA AND IMA
Chapter 3 - The hidden power of Earth
It had been two days since Ima avoided Rima and at this point, Rima was furious. Ima would ignore her and pretend as if Rima didn't exist. So finally, feeling defeated, Rima decided to confront her sister, again.
"Ima! What's the matter? Why aren't you talking to me at all?" Rima asked.
Ima ignored her.
"Fine. Okay... Tell me what happened at the forest last two days ago," Rima sighed.
Ima paused and looked at her sister, frowning. "It doesn't matter," she replied. "You thought i was lying."
"Well, your my sister and i believe you, so tell me what happened again!" Rima said, secretly relieved that Ima was talking to her.
"...Okay then..." Ima murmured. "Too lost in my thoughts I walked into the forest when I heard noises. I went to check the noise, out of curiosity to see... weird... things and the things were surrounding a person. I got scared and ran away but then the things saw me and surrounded me too," Ima explained.
"... Yea..." Rima nodded.
"... Then... another weird thing happened... I... I heard a voice and it... said something like... to use my power of wind, or something and wow... It was really strange, but you have to believe me! I'm not lying! I'm telling the truth!" Ima pleaded.
"... Okay... No matter how impossible your stories are, your not a very good liar and it looks like your telling the truth," Rima informed.
Ima huffed, insulted by her sisters words but happy that her sister believed her.
"... Hey... Maybe we can go take a look at the forest!" Rima suggested.
"Wha- Now?" Ima exclaimed.
Rima nodded.
Ima gaped at her sister. "Did you not listen to what i said! The weird things might be there again! It's dangerous!"
"You have your 'hidden power of whatever', so I'm sure we'll be alright."
"Bu-But!!"
"Come on'!" Rima urged, grabbing Ima's wrist and tugging her towards the forest.

"Are you ready?" Rima asked.
Ima said nothing and nodded.
"Okay... Here we go..." Rima breathed.
They entered the forest and the sisters slightly shivered. There was something about the forest that sent a chill up their spines.
"It's kind of... creepy... here..." Rima said out loud.
"... Of course... and something scary night happen soon..." Ima whispered.
"... Nothing happened so far... maybe you were dreaming?" Rima shrugged.
"I wasn't lying!" Ima insisted.
Rima sighed. "Why are you whispering?"
"...Just in case," Ima replied.
"There's nothing here, let's go back," Rima suggested.
"Fine," Ima sighed...
And she bumped into something. Something rough... Something... cold... Something-
"AHHHHHHH!!! A-A gho-ghost!! Mo-Monster! Th-Thi-Thing!!!" Rima screamed, cutting off Ima's thoughts.
Ima instantly froze. She gulped and bolted to her sister away from the creature.
"Use your powers."
"The-There! It's the voice! Rima, can you hear it!?" Ima shouted.
"Ye-yea... I hear it. I hear it!!!" Rima shouted back.
"Use your powers."
"What's it talking about!?" Rima asked.
"Rima, the power of earth."
"The power of earth? I'm not getting anything here!" Rima said.
"Po-Power of earth! I knew it! You have powers too!" Ima replied.
"H-Huh?"
"Okay... Calm down and do the same thing as me!" Ima reassured.
Rima nodded.
"The hidden power of wind inside of me, rise and awaken!" Ima commanded.
Rima watched as air started gathering around her sister and as her sister blew away the creature.
But more creatures started to come and Ima was soon outnumbered.
"Rima! I need help!" Ima shouted.
"Awaken your powers."
"O-Okay! Uh... The hidden power of wind inside of me, rise and awaken!" Rima commanded.
Nothing happened.
"What's wrong? It's not working!" Rima murmured.
"You're the power of earth, not wind!" Ima corrected. "Try again!"
Rima nodded. "The hidden power of wi- i mean - earth inside of me, rise and awaken!" she shouted.
Still nothing happened.
"Uh... What did i wrong? Um... Power of earth, take them away!?" Rima commanded, or more like asked.
But it worked, and soon the sisters were able to defeat the creatures.
"We did it!" Ima cheered.
Rima dropped to the ground, her legs weak from the event. "Yea... I can't believe it...!"
Ima laughed. "We should go now."
Rima nodded and with the help of her sister, stood up.
"Wow..."
"Yea... Wow..."
"..."
"..."
"That was... awesome..."
"..."
"..."
"... Yea..."
The sisters laughed as they went home. Their relationship improved between them and they became closer. It had been a strange day. They knew nothing about their powers, they were still amateurs, but the voice had guided them and they both warmly accepted it.
They had each other, that was all that mattered.
