Twins of the Moon

by Claramont

Winter persuades Jacin to "make a friend" and out of a gut feeling, he chooses Cress. As Cress and Jacin get to know each other better and become even better friends, Cress has found, from her father, that she has a twin brother, given away to a Lunar family at birth. Jacin offers to help Cress in finding her long lost twin brother, and both learn some shocking news along the way.

"Oh Cre-ess!" Cress looked up and smiled as she saw Winter bouncing in towards her. Cress sort of envied Winter's happy go lucky personality, and at the same time admired her for being able to keep that attitude even through Levana's cruel reign. "Oh Cress!" Winter started again. "I have a friend for you," Winter sang in a melodious voice.

Cress looked up, confused. "What do you mean?' Cress asked just as Jacin walked into the control room, looking a little embarrassed. "Hey Jacin," Cress smiled. Jacin was pretty sweet, in Cress's opinion. He was so reserved and void of emotions, but you could see that disappear whenever he was around Winter. He became cheerful, and even mischievous.

Most of the crew saw Jacin as a stone statue. But not Cress. Cress was interrupted by Winter suddenly. "Hello Cress-friend. I was thinking that Jacin needed a friend other than me, and you happened to be the lucky winner! Congratulations!"

Cress looked up at Jacin. "Okay, um, well, hi Jacin. How are you and Winter?" Jacin opened his mouth to reply, and was cut off by Winter. "No no no! You can't talk about me, talk about yourselves, get to know each other! Bye, I have to see Selene now!" With that, Winter flounced out of the room, leaving one amused Cress, and a very disgruntled Jacin.
