I walked over to my bed next to Sekhmet's bed and laid down. Sekhmet wasn't in his bed as usual. " Where could he be at such a late time," I thought in my head. I was very sleepy and my eyelids were getting heavy. Despite the fact that my twin was gone, we always sleep around the same time. I was struggling to keep my eyes open waiting for Sekhmet to get home, since mom works late at night she wouldn't know if he was gone... I was debating whether to go look for him or to just go to sleep. I mean even if I did go look for him, I would be not much of a help if he was just chilling somewhere, like the park. As I was thinking before I knew it I was asleep. It was dark and cold. But I could hear someone saying " Your mom is not who you think she is. " It sounded like a guy. I responded with " What do you mean, what's so different about her? " The voice snickered and said, " You'll find out the answer later ". " Huh? " I said I could only make out some words he mentioned, it was distorted. " Find, Answer? " I thought. Before I could think any more of what the strange voice said, something came at me like a spell and knocked me out.
" Aah! " I shouted as I rose out of a cold sweat and Pain came across my forehead but quickly disappeared! Something cold and wet dropped off of my forehead. I turned my head to find my twin brother was looking at me scared. He was beside my bed and looked like just woke up. His arms were resting on the bed too... " Was he there the whole time? " As I said " Where- " he had said, "Are- ". We had interrupted each other by speaking at the same time... I decided to speak first. We stared at each other for a few seconds then I indicated that I wanted to speak first with a gesture with my head. " Where were you I was waiting for you and you didn't show up! " He looked at me puzzled and said, " I- I was in a forest ". He turned and didn't face me. " Doing what? " I said slyly. He looked back to glance at me and quickly look at the ground. " Taking a stroll, " Sekhmet said. " Caught him! " I said in my head excited but shocked. " He's lying "... " But why? There isn't a reason to lie to me, I'm the close's person to him." " Am I wrong? " I decided to let this one slide... Sekhmet " What did you want to say? " " Oh. I wanted to know if you were ok Dawn. You gave me a real fright! " You were sweating and shaking and couldn't hear me! " " I thought you were sick or something, so I had put a wet cloth on your forehead... " I looked at the cloth that fell down when I woke up and then looked back at Sekhmet. " Wow he must have been really worried ". I don't want to start an argument about how he was clearly lying right now. Maybe I should just forget it and calm him down. " I reflected while looking lost in space. As soon as I was done thinking I lunged at Sekhmet to hug him and said " Thanks for being with me, and I'm fine. " Sekhmet hugged me tightly. I pushed him off but had my hands still on his shoulders, so he could see that I was completely fine, with no harm done with a smile. Sekhmet examined me with his eyes for a moment then smiled and hugged me tightly again. Then said, " I'm glad your ok Dawn ".
I turned my head to look at the window in the middle at the back of the room to see it was surprisingly still night! " Time didn't fly by a second... " I reflected in my head. I quickly pushed Sekhmet off, closed my eyes, patted his head, and said " It's still night, we should head to bed ". After I opened my eyes and also said " You don't really do so well in school when you don't sleep at least for your full six or seven hours " I laughed at the end to slyly play it off. His face looked neutral as he nodded yes and went to lay in his bed. As Sekhmet got under his covers and yawned, I went to my bed as well. I got under the covers hoping I wouldn't have any strange dreams like that again. I contemplated about how I didn't want to worry my twin brother while looking at the ceiling for a short time. I glanced at Sekhmet for a few seconds who was having a hard time keeping his eyes open while staring at me from across the room. " I wonder if he's waiting for me to go to sleep. Is he still cautious of me? " I mumbled while staring at the ceiling. " I guess I'll go to sleep to not cause him any trouble in the morning. " I said in my head. I looked at Sekhmet he was still staring. I looked back at the ceiling and closed my eyes for a few minutes, opened them, and readjusted them to slyly look back at Sekhmet. Sekhmet had fallen asleep while facing me. I whispered, " Oh my poor twin brother " under my breath. As soon as I whispered that I fell in sleepy slumber.
I woke up facing Sekhmet. He was asleep, sleeping so peacefully and soundly. " I knew he was going to be like this, he is usually up before me," I said agitatedly quiet to not wake up Sekhmet. I walked to the door, opened it, and carefully closed it to not make a sound. I headed down the hallway and went into the kitchen to find my mom making breakfast. I proceed to go to the table, waiting for whatever my mother Eva was making. " Where's Sekhmet? " My mom asked. I responded with " He's asleep ". " Oh, I wonder what happened yesterday that made him so drowsy " While my mom said that it sounded like she was a bit shocked and curious at the same time but tried to not make it noticeable. Me acknowledging what happened yesterday said, " Yeah I wonder what happened ". Silence came across us for a few minutes. " You should go get your brother I am almost done with breakfast ". Without answering her I got up from my chair, walked down the semi-short hallway, faced towards the door, and put my ear up close to it. I waited for a moment. " It's quiet, Zekhmet's still asleep " I mumbled. I slowly opened the door to make sure no sound was heard from my older twin brother. Then I sneaked towards Sekhmet's bed, sat down, and stared at Sekhmet who was still facing my bed. " What an Angle " I thought while smiling. I opened my lips to softly whisper to Sekhmet " Sekhmet... Sekhmet... Sekhmet " He wasn't waking up, so I changed my voice to my normal speech. " Sekhmet... Sekhmet... Sekhmet " That wasn't working, not a budge or a blink came from Sekhmet. Next, I nudged Sekhmet a bit and still nothing... I now had to resort to my last trick to get my big twin brother up. I said " Sorry Sekhmet " softly under my breath. Only because I know how much he hates what I'm about to do. I got close to Sekhmet, I was now three inches away from Sekhmet. I got my hands ready and swiftly before Sekhmet woke up to an awkward scenery and tickled him! Within just a few seconds Sekhmet was hysterically laughing and was saying " IM AWAKE! IM AWAKE! " pleadingly. I slowly stopped, backed up, sat properly on his bed, and took a look at Sekhmet. He was catching his breath. I gazed around the room while saying " Mom's almost done with breakfast ". I could still hear Sekhmet breathing, but he was more calmed down than before. Sekhmet took me by surprise and springed at me. It kinda hurt since Sekhmet doesn't know his own strength sometimes but I didn't let it show and just kept a puzzled face. Immediately Sekhmet started tickling me. Laughing I spoke and said " I guess this must be your revenge huh? " Smiling Sekhmet suddenly stopped for a few seconds while on his knees. Which left him a perfect exposure for my SNEAK ATTACK! I sneaked in an unexpected tickle attack on Sekhmet, he looked shocked but reacted quickly with happily tickling me back. " I was at first but this is actually kind of fun! " Then he did his deep voice and spoke " You are Forgiven " After a very short time of a mini tickle party me and Sekhmet we realized we were obviously late for breakfast. We hurried over and sat down. It was silent for a while at the table the food was almost cold as we were eating I spoke and said " Sorry we were too wrapped up in something ". " Yeah, I could tell it sounded fun... " Me and Sekhmet gave each other an awkward glance then kept eating. In a calm soothing tone with her head resting in the middle of her hands " Don't worry it's fine I'm just glad you guys are getting along despite your differences " I look at the few pieces of food I had left to eat and mumbled " Differences? What could possibly be so different about us to say that? Heck we're twins! " I glanced up to see my mom's and twin brother's reaction. Sekhmet looked shocked but continued to finish up the food he had on his plate. On the other hand, my mom had to look like she just realized what she said and quickly slipped in " I mean... Forget what I just said go ahead and head off to school for me. Could you? " afterwards softly laughed then smiled before anyone could say anything to brush it off. Me and Sekhmet Agreeingly nodded our heads and got our things to get ready to walk to school.
Walking through the door I hold the door open for my twin brother, taking a long last gaze at my mom pondering at the table silently… Moreover I close the door and we head on our way to school. Past the gate then in the school we, got there pretty early sprisingly. " They're still people chill'ing about " I say. " Yeah.. Are you sure some teachers aren't just late? " I check my phone's time " Positive! Class isn't even close to starting, about ten to twenty minutes before the bell rings ". " Well I'm gonna split, I'll catch up with you later " Sekhmet replies as he walks towards his group of friends. I see my friend group just a little futher down the hallway and join my lovey buddys but as I walk closer I see Lucas. " Lucas you're over here why's that? " I express in a playful way. Lucas formally bows while commentary-ing " Oh no reason I just thought to hangout with thy misses " then subsequently rises back up " How's that? Think I got any better for my Imperial aura later this week on stage everyone? " He smiles as he excidedly awaties our responses. Carmen quickly answers with " I think your about ready! " Carried on by Zoe " You just need to switch a few words out or something to make it more aged " I insert right after Zoe or Zoey we sometimes call her " I was thinking the same thing! " Zoe exclaimes joyfully consequently " Well you know what they say Great Minds think alike! " She extends out her hand as I follow behind also as we do our simple butterfly hand shake, we grined and cracked up nevertheless only short lived before the bell finally rung. " Bye guys, I'll see you later " I tell them whilst mid waving them farewell. I head to my first class of the day ela or english literature that Carmen and I share. I head past the crowd and enter my classroom door way. I take a glance of the room as i see I'm not late or early scince it's about half filled, so I take a seat in the one of the many one seater desks and wait for the class to begin like everyone else. Luckily this is my favorite teacher Mrs. Howell, my nicest teacher. A few minutes past while I was on my phone and I start hear mrs. howell speak. " Okay class, it's a fresh new day and I hope today is already starting off with a great start, I know we usally read some literature or break down words for time to time. However today we're going to watch some animations of edgar allen poe's poems! Yay~ Isn't that exiting everyone? " She exclaims while beaming with joy. The class was silent, we were glad but we're also not much of a talk back class more of a wordless one so we often just stick our thumbs up. I stick my thumb up. " Yay okay happy to see that everyones on the same page especially you Carmen ", she walks over to Carmen and they both give each other a high five with big grins across their faces. Mrs. Howell happily shimmies back towards to the front of the class and speaks. " After we watch the animated poems as we will have a class disusion about the poems representation " Mrs. Howell walks over and turns the lights off, scurres to her laptop and clicks play on the video. As Im watching the video, it's actually interesting he was ranting on and on perhaps like a mad man but I wonder why the word " Nevermore " would cause that much effect to even start talking about his maybe recent or past lover lenore… I ponder for while while the video keeps playing, then look up to continue watching. Contrarily as I look up and proceed to watch a few seconds go by, I next start to see things...
