"Yuui, hurry up!" Sweet laughter filled the air as he ran through a sea of green.

"Fay! Wait for me!"

"Come on! We're almost there!" Fay giggled and ran faster, dodging the trees with ease. He couldn't wait to show his brother a new cave he had found, but the sun was setting and they had to hurry up.

They were getting closer. Beaming, Fay looked behind and gave his brother a huge grin. Yuui responded with a small smile. "Is it far?" he managed to ask between soft gasps.

"Almost there! You really need to see…" Fay was cut off by a horrible scream and tripped, landing on the soft grass. Startled, he looked over his shoulder. "Yuui?" He got up but couldn't find him. "Yuui?"

Weak sobs and whimpers reached his ears. Night was falling quickly.

They stood still, admiring the scenery below them. It was a small abandoned village, hidden in the middle of the forest. Some of the houses were almost completely rundown but the rest were immaculate, preserving the glory of old times. It was breathtaking… yet something about it bothered Fay.

"It's impossible. We've played here so many times, how come we never found this place before?"

"Maybe we just missed it." Yuui's eyes wandered everywhere, taking in the sight before him. He had never seen something like that. Something like this deserved to be thoroughly explored.

"How can that be? We've been everywhere." But something wasn't right and Fay was getting anxious. "We should go." He pulled his brother by his hand and walked towards the gate.

"Wait, Fay. Why don't we explore a bit? It looks so interesting."

"No. We need to go."

"Come on. We will probably never have a chance to do this again!"

"I said no. Let's go." With those final words, he pushed his brother by his hand and walked back.

"But Fay!" They quickly passed through the big shrine gate, only to realize they were at the same place they started.

Fay pulled Yuui harder and passed the gate again, with no success. Frustrated, he tried again and again and was greeted each time with the same eerie landscape. He wasn't liking this at all…

"Fay."

This wasn't right. They had to get out of there. Something bad was going to happen. They had to get out, now!

"Fay! You're hurting me!"

"W-what?" Fay looked down and realized his knuckles were getting white from clutching his brother's hand so hard. He quickly let go and looked at Yuui with anxious eyes. "I'm sorry. I just…" He looked around, not knowing what to do. "This isn't possible. Why can't we get out?"

Gathering all the courage he had, Yuui tried to reassure his brother. "Don't worry. As long as we're together, I'm sure everything is going to be fine." He gave Fay a comforting smile and looked towards the village. "Maybe we can find another exit. Let's explore a bit and see."

Fay looked at his brother apprehensively. "I really don't like this…"

"I know. But I'm with you, so it's okay." Yuui walked towards the hill again and looked at the village, facing away from his brother. "We'll always be together, right? That's what you promised me."

I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I'll never leave you again. I promise!

Fay's heart skipped a beat as the memory from that day flashed through his mind. "I'll never leave your side. You know that."

Yuui smiled sadly at himself. "But you know that's not possible." He whispered softly.

"What?"

"Nothing." Forcing a cheerful expression, he turned to face his brother. "Maybe we should check the other side of the village. What do you think?"

"Y-yeah… let's go then."

Yuui happily grabbed his brother's hand and they followed the path towards the village. It was dark and it was hard to see, but as they approached the first house they noticed light coming from inside.

"It looks like there's someone here!" Yuui tugged Fay's hand. "Maybe they can help us."

Fay sighed in relief. "Let's get in then." They knocked three times. "Hello?" No answer. "Hello? Can anyone help us? We're lost and…" Before he could finish the sentence, the door opened slowly. Fay smiled and was about to greet whoever was behind the door but there was no one there.

Yuui peeked over Fay's shoulder. "It was open?"

"I-I don't know. Maybe it was."

"Maybe they're inside. Should we go in?"

Fay looked at the other houses and shivered. Such a frightening atmosphere. "Yes. Come on."

They crossed the small hall and Fay opened the door leading to the main room. He peeked inside and called. "Hello? Is someone here?" And again was greeted with silence.

"Maybe they're not here…"

"Let's go check anyway." They finally stepped inside the house. It was a large room. A dusty fireplace rested in the middle and at the other end a wooden staircase that led them to the second floor. In one of the walls were two sliding doors, its paper screens were already gray and worn. And a long and dark corridor stretched in front of them leading into the back of the house. There were a few candles laying around yet the dust on the floor showed no signs of anyone being there recently. It was cold and the air felt heavy. A loud bang made Fay jump and he quickly looked around. Yuui had his hand on the doorknob and had just closed it.

"Sorry" he said, hiding a smile.

Fay gave a small sigh and laugh a bit. "This place gives a weird vibe, doesn't it?"

"Yeah... it's so old and full of history. I wonder how long it managed to stay up. You can just tell a lot happened here and-" Yuui abruptly stopped and just stared with wide scared eyes at the end of the corridor.

"Yuui? What's wrong?" Fay stared at the corridor and stepped back in horror, clutching his brothers hand harder. Two long dark haired girls with pure white skin, stood still in mid air. Hanged. He couldn't move. He couldn't even breath. Twins. They're twins!

Together... forever.

Summoning all the courage he had, he pushed the shocked Yuui and ran back to the door. Only to find it shut. They were locked in.

Hope you enjoyed. Sorry for the short chapters... More to come soon.
