Keisha
“you’re twins. You’re my daughters” I said distinctively
“that’s not possible. No way” Kira said
“this girl over here cannot be Kira” Kara said and Gavin got irritated
“ugly things. You’re so stupid. How would you explain the names and you both have the same history” he said and scoffed
“it’s getting late. Follow me” I said
“no I can’t follow you. Stranger danger” Kara said
I sighed
Maybe I should just explain things to them
“my name is Keisha and this is Gavin. He’s my first son. In Scalia, twins are forbidden, so I made Gavin run to the shore with my new born twins. Their names were Kira and Kara. He saw two humans and handed them over. He changed their hair and their tails turned to legs. However, he warned the two women to keep the twins away from each other until they are eighteen. But unfortunately, they met at age fourteen and became haters of each other. And those two girls are standing before me now” I spat out
“whoah” Kira said
“are you truly our mother?” Kara asked
“no, she’s your father” Gavin replied sarcastically
“Gavin” I said and pinched him
“ouch, sorry” he mumbled
“I know you don’t totally believe me but I can proof myself to you but we have to leave her” I said
“let’s go to my house. My mom’s not at home though” Kira stated
“ugly thing. This is your mom” Gavin said and pointed to me
“you know, I’m beginning to regret that I brought you here” I said
“let me call my mom and tell her I would be late” Kara said and brought out her phone
I sighed as I stared at them
The spell worked
They’re no longer going to hate each other
But since I’m not as strong as Zaire, the curse won’t go off completely
They will still fight at regular intervals but they won’t fight for long
It’s better than being enemies.
Brianna
I really don’t know why I’m taking two strangers to my house
It’s crazy but I think they’re saying the truth
And I can’t believe Liliana is actually coming with them
One reason I believe them is because of what I was told
That my brother was sassy and blonde
And this guy is very sassy and blonde too
Plus, my sister’s name is Kara and I’m Kira
And Liliana’s middle name is Kara
Also, she told us the same story my mom told me
And she also mentioned the actual curse that was placed on all things
Is that why I hated Liliana?
This is all a puzzle.
“not bad. I like your house” Liliana said
“hmm” I hummed as I watched her folding her arms and looking around
Probably comparing her house and mine
“should I get you something” I asked them
“anything humans eat” Gavin said
I called on the maids to get pizza and some drinks for them
“Liliana, do you want anything?” I asked
“I want something, I want to know what the heck is going on. I want to know everything I need to know” she said and sat down roughly
She’s a pretty sassy girl
The television was on and a sudden news came in
About a school that got mysteriously frozen up
Liliana immediately sat up
The news said it was a science project that caused it so I didn’t care
“that’s a lie” Liliana blurted out
“do you know what happened?” the lady who said she was our mother asked
“yes, it was…” Liliana stopped when the maids came in
She faced the television in disbelief
“can we go to a more discreet place?” the lady asked and I nodded
I took them to my room
“now, what exactly happened Kara?” she asked
“I suddenly started having uncontrollable ice powers today at school. I was showering after basketball when I found out that the water falling was gradually freezing. I was surprised. I held the shower handle and it froze up and broke. The freeze began to move and it covered the whole bathroom. I was terrified and ran away from school but I didn’t know the freeze would cover the whole school” she blurted out, looking really terrified
I was surprised
So Liliana has powers just like me
“I have no idea what you just spilled out. What’s a shower and what’s a basketball? Is it a ball made out of a basket?” Gavin asked
“your twin powers are popping out. You must be water and ice. And you Kira, you must be fire” the lady said
“yes, yes. Today my hands were burning so I placed them in water and it began to boil. And when I mistakenly touched the curtains, it caught fire. My hands continued to burn until Liliana touched me” I said and looked at my hands in awe
“oh my goodness. Brianna, you are truly my sister?” Liliana asked
” I can’t believe this. I finally found my sister” I said and ran to hug her
“you should thank mother for reversing the curse you idiots” Gavin said and mother frowned
Did I just say mother?
Well
I don’t care
“I’m sorry for hating you” Liliana said
” I’m sorry for hating you too” I said and we smiled
”now we have to take care of something very important. We have to go back to Scalia” mother said
“but, how?” I asked
“mother, they need to learn how to control their powers” Gavin said
“I don’t know how much I can last without water but I’ll try my best and stay here till you’re ready” she said and stood up
“ugh, ready for what exactly?” Liliana asked
“for Queen Kintora” Gavin replied
“I don’t think I’m ready to fight some evil queen yet. I seriously can’t” I said
“hmmm, you’re right. You can’t do anything yet” she said
“but you can still teach us how to control our powers” Liliana said and she smiled
“can I get the human food now” Gavin asked
“I think I like this brother” I mumbled and Liliana laughed
“let’s go” I said and pulled him by the first hand while Liliana pulled the other
We raced down the stairs to the living room and made him sit down
I opened the pizza box and took out one slice
“here, eat it” I said and he took it and took a bite
He chewed a little and then put on an ugly face
“eww, so awful. Feels like a rotten octopus” he stated and we laughed
“you’re crazy” Liliana said and took a piece
I took mine and dropped it again so I could change the channel
I took the remote from the stool beside the television and changed the channel
Then I came back and found out that my pizza had a bite mark on it
“who took my pizza?” I asked but no one answered
“Liliana, why did you eat my pizza” I asked
“no I didn’t” she replied
“what do you mean you didn’t. Look, the evidence is here” I stated
“I said I didn’t take any bite” she blurted out
“neither did I” Gavin said
I got angry because they were both playing pranks on me by lying
“you’re both crazy” I said and stormed off the ground
“we’re not crazy because we didn’t do anything crazy. You’re just a freak. You took the bite before going and now you wanna put the blame us. You’re just a freaky freak” Liliana said and my eyes widened
“whatt” I said and walked to her and pushed her down
She screamed and kicked me
I slapped her and she punched my tummy
I screamed and wanted to push her to the floor but I suddenly saw myself being tied up
“huh” I mumbled
My hands and feet were tied with vines
The same magic I always use but this one is stronger
“you are not supposed to fight” Gavin said
I looked around the room and saw Liliana tied up too
I began to laugh
This is going to be but fun and frustrating

Liliana
I closed my locker and imputed the keys that locked it
It’s been about a week since I found out that Brianna is my twin sister
Our mother and brother are still here, teaching us different things
And our foster moms are so happy to see each other again because the last time they saw each other was when they first met at the beach
“uhm, hi” a male voice said, snapping me out of my thoughts
I looked to see a very handsome boy in front of me
“hi” I said
“I’m Leo, and I’m new here. I could use some help finding the principal’s office” he stated and I smiled
I led him there and waited for him to get the schools stamps on his books
He came out and he followed me to the class
I spotted Zeus and Brianna
I smiled and entered the class
Brianna and Zeus are somehow close
Well Brianna really likes him
But I think there’s something mysterious about him

Queen Kintora
I’m need to get the neighbouring Kingdom under my control
I need to establish my coast
And I need Rick’s special powers to bring the kingdom under submission
But where is Rick
I sent him on a task but he’s not back yet
That boy is the worst
If he wasn’t my son, I wouldn’t spare his life
Finally he emerged and I sighed
“let’s go” I said and he sighed
“I wish I wasn’t son” he stated and I frowned

When Rick came out, he looked exactly like someone in the human world.
No difference except in character
And that person is Zeus, Brianna’s crush
Do you think Queen Kintora and her son are up to something fishy?
