Chapter 4: Huey and Dewey
While she had been born in a world of herself alone…
He was met by two very interesting siblings as he breathed his first breaths.
And in three years time…
IT began.
Set as revenge against another.
Leading to tragedy and the burden he carried now.

Without it even registering in her mind that a few moments ago this man had been a complete stranger to her that had invaded her home, Haley backed up against Nathan now. There were two new people standing in her living room. Two new people who had just…appeared. Like that. Flash…boom…there they were…well without the flash and boom. "Who…who are you?" She pointed at them. "Where on earth did you come from?"
The female twin, wearing a form fitting black dress, grinned and pointed upward playfully. "We didn't come from earth…we came from the sky!"
The male part, wearing a black sweater and black jeans, now joined in. "Oh yes. We were just kind of taking a night stroll and decided to land down here. Seemed like some good blood to find." He winked at his brother.
Shaking his head, Nathan pointed at them both angrily, feeling Haley backing up against him even more, her body partly shaking. "You idiots! I was doing fine. And just shut up with the vampire jokes, okay?"
"You owe me five Nate." The twin with the lighter hair now put out his hand.
"What…how do you know what happened?" Nathan asked the twin with suspicion, wondering if they had been following them all this time. No…impossible. He would have known, felt their presence.
The lighter half now turned to a confused and scared Haley. "Did he get thrown out tonight? Did he tell you he wanted blood? And did you then decide he was a psychopathic blood sucking menace to society?"
Haley shook her head before practically yelling it out. "Who are you?! How did you get in here!"
The woman, her hair dark except for where red vibrancy touched it, gestured to Nathan as if hurt. "You didn't tell her about us Natey Dear? Darling…I'm so offended. I mean I know why you didn't want to tell her about my annoying other half, but you could have let her know about me. I have some products she might enjoy."
With a sweep of the hand a small suitcase appeared in the woman's other hand. Simply appeared. She waved her hand over the suitcase now as if she was Vanna White displaying the next letter on Wheel of Fortune.
"Ahh!" Haley called out in shock, feeling Nathan holding at her arms with what seemed support. That woman had just made a suitcase appear like that…poof. There it was.
Meanwhile, the light haired man, acting as if suitcases appearing in his sister's hand was nothing to shake your head at, faced Haley with inquiry. "Do you know where they might have some bats around here?"
"Oh shit." Nathan moaned, touching his head that now seemed to be experiencing a resurgence of pain, giving him one splitting headache. Hadn't even felt it anymore for a bit while they stood at that window…luxuriously in the dark, her soft lyrical voice washing over his senses. Ahhhh.
Damn. He'd been doing fine. Just fine. He was slowly getting Haley to listen to him. They were even sharing their names with each other…and once again, they were in the dark. His favorite kind of place to be. Getting much more closely acquainted with each other…
And then they ruined it all. Oh…they gave him a migraine. Literally.
"Oh yes…my brother wants a few bats for his…well blood sucking duties." The dark haired woman gave Nathan a playful smile. "Would you happen to know where any might be…hanging around?"
"Knock it off Sis!" Nathan called out now with annoyance. Would they just shut up…please?!
The twins on a roll though and definitely not stopping there. Now the dark haired woman looked at Haley with interest.
"Has Nathan already had thought sex with you or did he just suck your neck?"
"Shit…shut up!"
The light haired man admonished his little brother. "Nate…always with the bad language. At least use code like Sis does."
Meanwhile, the dark haired woman was starting to take things out of her suitcase, which just happened to be floating in the air at the present time. She spoke cordially to Haley, "So…here they are…oh look…vampire resistance tablets. Guaranteed to protect you against blood sucking fiends." Her expression changed to a half dreamy one.
"You know I dated a vampire once…wherewolf too…really not good. He kept me up with his howling. But anyway…back to the vampire…ohhhh…the sex was so incredible. Oh my gosh…uh…what's your name? Oh anyway…woman with the real pale face right now…that man knew positions that..."
She moved forward, whispering to a baffled Haley now with a secretive look. "Well they go beyond even the Kama Sutra manual of sex, honey. The art of levitation really adds…well anyway…it was ssssssoooooo great. Until he wanted to bite my neck! That's where I had to say…uh…NO! And I turned him into a tadpole. Well I changed him back, but he was that for about…an hour or so I'd say. Anyway…this vampire resistance cream will protect you from all blood suckers…even him." She gestured playfully to her brother.
"Oh knock it off." Nathan's eyes rolled, his tone filled with annoyance.
Still, the dark haired woman started to hand Haley some of her products. Seeing and feeling the upset in his owner now though, and not heavily sedated anymore of course, Bear growled.
The dark haired woman frowned at that.
"Ooooh…bad dog…here…Dog with bad manners…see how you like it as a giant worm."
Haley blinked as…
Nathan closed his eyes with disgust.
The light haired man spoke casually, but also distaste in his tone. "Ew that's hideous Sis. Should have turned it into a bat…at least I could have used it."
Her eyes widened to the size of marbles now, Haley shook her head at the three of them. Her beautiful sweet Bear was a slimy…uh…worm…about the size of a toaster oven.
"OH MY GOD…Nathan…you two…what did you do to Bear? You turned my dog…my Bear into a…oh…a…"
"Classification giant worm. Phyla…uhhhh…well it's made up. It's all a part of the craft which brings me up to what we really are. Since Nathan screwed it up with his vampire story."
The light haired man glared at his brother. His fascination with vampires really just needed to end. I mean come on…what they really were was so much more interesting. So big fricking deal the women more easily fell into the vampire seduction thing. Seemed this woman hadn't.
The dark haired woman chimed in. "It usually would work too, but it seems you might have some resistance. You're half, right? I mean really…every woman I've seen Nathan make the contact with is in his bed about ten minutes later moaning and/or screaming out his name."
"OH shoot. Don't tell her that. Just both of you stop."
Haley wasn't listening to them though. She was facing Nathan now with shaking hands, her face going even more pale. "They…they…they turned my dog…into a gi-giant…worm…giant…poof! Worm?"
Nathan looked down at Haley now…seeing that she was getting paler and paler.
"Look what you guys did!"
"Tell her what we are Sis."
"Nah…how about we show her."
"All right."
"NO!"
Nathan called out with desperation, but both of them had already started waving their hands around. Haley looked at them…her dog…them…her dog…the…
"Oh gosh…you're…you're…"
"Witches!"
The light haired man shook his head with disapproval. "No…that's not right Sis."
"Oh…okay…technically he's a warlock…I'm a witch…and he's a half warlock. Ding dong the witch isn't dead! You know that movie really gave me nightmares when I was a kid. I was soooo scared some stupid girl with a dog named Toto would make me melt! Or that a house would just suddenly land on me and some ugly girl would take my precious shoes. Ohhhhh…heebies jeebies! WICKED set the slate straight…oh yes…witches unite!"
The light haired man broke out into song. "My country tis of thee…wicked land of witchcraft free…of thee I chaaaaant…"
And of course the dark haired woman joined in as they began a medley of regular songs turned to the topic of witchcraft with relish, almost like a wild imitation of a Saturday Night Live skit. "Let witchcraft reign!"
"Who let the witches out?"
They were dancing around now, half floating a couple of times, making objects float, and singing back and forth with each other.
"Who? Who? Who? Who?" "Yeah…who let the witches out?!" "I'm so excited…and I just can't hide it! I'm a WICKED witch and I think I like it!"
Haley stared at them with shock, back at her dog…uh worm…uh…giant worm…oooohhh…at them. Oh…she didn't feel well. Oh…she started sagging slightly, feeling something, someone, holding at her. She looked back at him. "What…uh?"
Nathan rolled his eyes at the spectacle, but kept his hands on Haley to hold her steady. "Don't ask."
Haley turned back around, seeing they had started a new song part.
"Oh the freaks come out at night…the blood sucking freaks come out at night!" The light haired man winked at his brother, letting him know that one was just for him.
Nathan smirked angrily. "Hah…funny."
"Start spreading the news…the witches and warlocks are here…" "We're going to set some spells in…New York New York!"
"FranK Sinatra eat your heart out!" They laughed now, smiling at each other with their achievements.
"We're good when you're not acting like the Sex Witch."
"Shut up, but oh yes we are. And you're actually interesting when you're not being Chemist Witch."
Ignoring them now, Nathan looked down at Haley whose face was turning ghostly white as her standing seemed to be turning into leaning against him. Oh no…
They did it again. She really was going to…
"Hey…who helps you make all those makeup products?"
Their voices started to rise as they began one of their routine brother and sister fights…which unfortunately Haley had never experienced, not realizing that their fights always became…enchanted by the craft.
"Well they're originally my ideas!"
"And I make them come together!"
"Ha…brother brother boring of time…let's see how you like being a fly…hoo hoo…"
Haley moaned, holding at Nathan desperately, not even caring that he was a stranger. These two…they were her worst nightmare. One of them was now actually a fly while the other…
"OH my God, Make it stop. I'm having a nightmare. I want to get up…I want to get up…I want to get up…"
"Ohhhh…look she chants…she really is partly enchanted!" The dark haired woman called out excitedly, before advising Haley…
"Just click your heels twice honey and say…there's no place like home…there's no place like home. Ahhhh…you turned me into a fly!"
"Yeah and look Sis…I'm a venus fly trap!"
"Oooohhhhh!"
"Oh my God…Oh my God…Oh my God…" Haley whispered now weakly as a huge Venus fly trap plant like Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors started mouth smacking at the screaming fly.
Livid, feeling that she was going to go under in about just one minute, Nathan called out to them. "ENOUGH. Both of you turn yourself back into what you really are!"
"Ooooohhhhh…you're no fun." The dark haired woman pouted.
"A poo poo paa…." The light haired man made a disappointed face.
Haley stared now in horror as suddenly they were…people again. "Oh…no..this…is…not…happening…oh…"
"Damn…she's going to-
"Five, four, three, two…" The light haired man began to casually count on his fingers, as if what was about to happen was a regular occurrence that he was very accustomed to.
Haley was gesturing wildly now, barely standing straight, her face beyond just pale or even white now. She looked sickly as she whispered in a trembling fading voice. "My dog…a worm…witches in my kitchen…"
"No honey…one witch…two warlocks, though technically one is in the same room with you and he's only a half though no offense Darling Nate." The dark haired woman corrected easily.
"Worm…witches...worm…"
"Haley?" Nathan called out to her anxiously. Even as beautiful as she was, she looked terrible right now.
Something was against her. She could feel it, but all she could see now was that hideous worm thing that had replaced her dog and venus fly traps and flies and floating suitcases and...
"Ohhhh…"
Too much.
"Ohhh…she's getting very pale. Here…let's turn her into a ghost."
"Nah…mummy's better. She can enter one of those dark caves and snatch me a bat or two."
"You and your bats! I want her to be a ghost so she can try my new Phantom of isle face cream."
"Mummy."
"Ghost."
"MUMMY!"
"GHOST!"
"SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!"
"Oh God…" Their voices were fading to the back of her mind. Everything was getting blurry and…
"Haley?"
Her mind couldn't process anymore of this. Haley's eyes rolled to the back of her head. Her body going limp, she began to fall.
The twins watched it with dull looks on their faces as if watching a woman go so pale before…
Well as if it was nothing new to them.
"Theeeeerrrree…she goes like a…" The dark haired woman mimicked.
And as Nathan did race to her, before she could…
The twin brother simply casually remarked,
"Splat. Oh and by the way…
You still owe me five Nate."

More to come…
Feedback is adored as always so let me know what you thought. Thanks.
Author Notes: Okay now I can start commenting on a few things: The vampire thing: With the blood comment from Nathan in the club and some other things he had done and ways he acted it was important to me to have the twins totally tease him here for all that. Now Nathan's fascination with vampires will be expanded upon…in many different ways. But now you know what he really is.
So maybe you're wondering why witches and warlocks? Well I thought of going the vampire route, but it's a hard one to travel down because of what a vampire does…with blood, literally. The wherewolf thing is not that appealing to me. But the witch factor I think is kind of interesting. Nathan's not a vampire, but this fascination he has with them…why does he have it? One of the twin's thoughts in this were very telling about Nathan and his fascination.
