"Hey! Hey! Are you okay?" Ann heard some boy ask. She heard movement a ways away from her.
"I'm fine thank you." Blake answered and Ann assumed she was getting the lay about.
Ann heard LeShay shake off someone who had come to help her. LeShay didn't like people touching her except for Ann because Ann wasn't people. Ann could hear people fussing over her about how pale she was and how they needed to get her out of the water but they didn't know how hurt she was and didn't want to move her.
"You guys just washed ashore here. Did your boat capsize?" asked the boy who was near Blake.
Ann heard Blake hesitate for a split second, "Yeah, sure."
Nobody would believe that they came from the spirit world, at least not yet anyway. Ann felt LeShay walk toward her but didn't feel the kick to the ribs coming.
"Get up." ordered LeShay, while the surrounding people freaked out.
Ann's eyes snapped open and she shot out of the water, "OW! What was that for bitch!"
LeShay just blinked.
"Oh shut up," Ann replied to her unspoken answer, "I was enjoying myself."
"You should sit down!" cautioned a girl with her hair in a bun, "You're really pale you shouldn't even be standing! Come carry her out of the ocean Wei."
The boy that was standing next to Blake moved towards Ann.
"Hang on there buddy; slow down." Ann held up her hand in a stop motion, "I'm not so fragile that I can't walk and, unfortunately, this is my natural skin tone."
"That's not a good idea you've just been shipwrecked. You're in shock; you don't know what's good for you." continued the girl; bossing the other teenagers around to make arrangements while Ann's eye started to tick violently.
Wei just wavered between his bossy friend and the strange girl that seemed to becoming unhinged right in front of his eyes. The bossy girl's voice grated on Ann ears and was ratcheting up the tension in her muscles. LeShay watched her sister, concerned about her behavior. If LeShay was correct things were going to get very ugly, very fast. It was strange usually Ann didn't let things like this bother her at least not on the outside.
The air around Ann seemed to get heavier and dark. The water around her ankles stilled while the rest churned. Ann lifted her head so her bangs didn't shield her eyes anymore. The look on her face was deranged, her eyes seemed to glow an eerie purple, she had a broken grin and her whole aura just seemed darker.
"I'm sorry, I must have misunderstood. Are you a healer?" Ann started chuckling to herself.
"N-no." stuttered the girl, slightly freaked by the waves rolling onto the beach, she's never seen the ocean act like this.
"Oh then you must be an apprentice." surmised Ann while smiling and gliding towards the girl.
"N-no."
Ann cocked her head and placed her hand on the girl's cheek, "Then you must have a family member in the field?"
"No."
"THEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING TELLING ME WHAT IS BEST FOR MY HEATH!" something snapped in Ann's head and while she was ranting her hand moved from the girl's cheek to her neck and squeezed.
Blake's eyes widen and her jaw dropped, Ann had never acted like this before. LeShay walked up to Ann who was still trying to crush the life out of a girl who was about 5 inches taller than her and jabbed her in the side. Ann's eyes became normal again and she collapsed into the sand with a shriek.
"I apologize for my twin. Apparently this place hinders her ability to repress certain parts of her personality." apologized LeShay as Ann sat up.
"What happened?" asked Ann as she looked around cluelessly.
Blake face- palmed, "Are you serious?"
"What happened?" Ann looked at LeShay for an explanation with a worried face.
"You let your mask slip."
"Heh… really… that's interesting!"
"Are you both insane?!" Blake looked at them like they were deranged.
The girl coughed and rubbed her throat, "You're demented!
What kind of monster does something like that?"
LeShay looked at Ann's expressionless face and heard her twin crying in her head and felt her heart hurting, but she also felt her twin's vindictiveness start to bubble up again.
"Do you hear something Sis?" asked LeShay as she wrapped her arms around her twin and smirked, "I hear a knat, an insignificant bug, just asking to be squashed."
A chill ran down everyone's spine.
"And that's our queue to go!" exclaimed Blake picking up one twin in each arm and starting to leave, "Thanks for pulling us out of the ocean, bye!"
They left the dumbstruck teens in the sand and hoped that the girl that Ann tried to strangle wouldn't come back to try and bite them in the ass.
"I am so hungry!" moaned Blake.
"Will you quite bitching and just follow your nose dammit!" replied Ann angrily.
"Or what you gonna flip out on me too?" jabbed Blake.
LeShay struggled in Blake's grip, "HEY! Before you two start trying to kill each other would you put me down!"
"Sorry I forgot I was still holding you guys. I guess I'm stronger now or something." apologized Blake.
"No shit." glared Ann, "Hey there's the market!"
"To the FOOD!" Blake pointed to the market like an explorer.
The girls were wandering through the market looking at all the strange food and fruits and looking at all the normal ones too.
"OH! I want this one!" Blake reached for a fruit.
LeShay grabbed Blake's wrist stopping her, "You're forgetting one very important thing; we have no money."
"That is problematic; we'll just have to take them." Ann looked at Blake.
"Why're you looking at me!" exclaimed Blake.
"Well we need a plan." said Ann.
"So you automatically look to me!" wondered Blake.
LeShay smiled, "Well I'm not going to do it; too much work."
"Ugh… I don't know, just cause a distraction, I'll take care of the rest."
The twins looked at each other, shrugged, then moved to opposite side of the street. Blake raised her eyebrow; she had no idea what they were going to do. She watched as each girl grabbed a piece of food off a vendor's stall and then kept walking and repeated the action with the next booth.
"HEY!" cried the vendors who had just realized they'd been stolen from.
The girls had maniacal grins plastered on their faces as Ann race and LeShay practically flew through the market still managing to jack food from as many stalls as possible. Blake stood slack jawed as the entire market started chasing the twins down the road towards the coast line. She shrugged and picked up a basket, she's the one that said she wanted a distraction and she got one alright. She started filling up the basket with food from the now vacant stalls when she heard hysterical laughter. There was one stall that still had a vendor, the one that was behind them that they hadn't seen, and he was laughing so hard Blake thought he was going to hurl up a vital organ. She gave him a jaunty salute and he was the only one that didn't get robbed blind. When the basket was full of fruit and vegetables and other stuff Blake thought they would need, like meat, she walked of in the direction of the beach whistling a tune.
