Sisters
Creasha was sitting alone in her room . It was silence outside, yet she felt that something was wrong – it was too quiet . Her older brother, Denis , had always said that too much silence was dangerous even for the hunter . That is what Denis was – a bounty hunter.
Creasha looked at the paleness of her sleeping twin sister Suzan and thought that it’ll be six months soon as mom and dad left the country and their children to the Fate . Well, the reality wasn’t so dramatic, since they were politics whom had to travel a lot. Creasha and Suzan weren’t small any longer, 16 is almost as good as grown-up! But Denis never thought so; he still cared about his little sisters, as they were babies in his mind.
A sudden voice broke the silence Creasha had almost fallen asleep in. Suzan opened her eyes as well and whispered,” I’ve heard this sound before , it’s dad’s car.”
In a couple of minutes the twins got dressed. Suzan, who had short, red hair and big, deep blue eyes just like Creasha, put on a white knee- length dress , while black -haired sister chose a black dress and a shiny golden bracelet.
“Why that?” Suzan asked her, yet the twin only smiled. They were similar, but thought very differently – especially Creasha, who considered herself a mighty bounty hunter as well, just as Denis was is the eyes of the society.
“Let’s check that noise out,” said Creasha and jumped from the open window to the slippery rooftop.
“Are you crazy ? You’ll get killed there !”
“ Come and help me then!”
“You idiot !”
But Creasha only smiled as an answer.
Soon the both girls were climbing on the roof .
“ Wait ,” said Creasha, the oldest.
“What is it?”
“What do you mean , can’t you hear that?”
“Hear what?”
“This…I don’t know how to describe it,,, It’s like a clock ’s ticking or something!”
“Maybe it’s a bomb ?” asked Suzan with an irony in her voice, her imagination was very rich .
Creasha went really pale and shook her sister.
“A bomb? You really think so?”
“It could be. Mom and dad are clever politician – they have plenty of enemies, just as Danny has!”
“ Damn it! You’re right!”
“Oh yea, I saw something like that in a western movie as well…”
“You’re a genius ! We must escape now, right?”
“Well, do we have a choice ?”
“But what happened in the film ?”
“The characters jump off the roof.”
“Actually, in case you didn’t notice, it’s about 4 meters downfall.”
“So? The true heroes face 20!”
“Alright then…ready?”
“ Sure !”
They hugged and jumped – it was too dark to see where, but they jumped. Somehow the ground felt softer to land on than the twins had thought.
Then a scream broke into the night .
Creasha knew this wasn’t Suzan since they were still hugging, no, it was another female whom voice was very familiar.
Suzan was the first one to recognize it.
“Mother…”she whispered and a soundless tear crossed her cheek .
Creasha told her to wait here, but sister hold to her too strongly to let go now.
“Okay, come with me then, but be quiet! You’re not the only one who feels like crying!”
Suzan nodded and together they moved quickly forwards.
Soon they reached the main entrance. The door was open, but no one seemed to be around.
“What now? Shall we enter or run away ?”
“They got our parents …and probably Danny too…”
“But Su, they didn’t get us, remember ?”
“Then we must do them as much harm as we can, they’ll catch us sooner or later!”
“Leave it to me then! I’m an expert in getting in trouble!”
The red-haired girl smiled and wished her sister good luck . Then she hid under the bushes that were quite far away from the house.
In the meanwhile Creasha had spotted dad’s car. Evil smile on her face, she entered it. She was really surprised over finding a considerable amount of weapons there . Not even thinking she took them with her and stepped out. No one was still around.
Then, a pack of matches fell from the weapon -suitcase.
“Well, well, well – what do we have here?” she asked herself and soon the car was exploding in the fire the girl had made.
“Come!” she shouted to her sister and ran towards the first morning bus that was standing across the road . Suzan looked back the halfway and saw the terrible scene – her whole house was on fire!
She stopped and wanted to go back, but sister pulled her towards.
Creasha cried, yet made herself and her twin sister continue their escape.
“But mom! And dad! We can’t leave them! Crea, we just can’t! Let go of me! Hear me? Let me go!”
“I’m sorry , but if we want to pay them back someday we must survive – you know that!”
And so they entered the bus. The driver didn’t even notice them and shut the doors . Fortunately – they made it in time!
The transport was half -empty – so they chose the last two seats , where no one ever sat.
“You know, it’s painful…”said Suzan and took sister’s hand in her.
“In our hearts?
“Yea…In our hearts. I love you, Crea.”
“Me too, sis. Yet I have so many unfinished things and questions …”
“No – WE do, you’re not alone, remember?”
“Yea, we were even born together…”
Suzan closed her eyes and the bus rode away – the girls had no idea , where to, but they sat quietly and were just happy to have each other .
