208Hey! I had started with this story as a one-shot in 'why you make the perfect couple' but I thought to make it into a short story! Please tell me what you think! I will update soon! R&R!
I don't own Ghost hunt! Sadly!
I was only eight when father died...
"NO! You can't take her away from me!"
And it had taken a toll on mother.
"Please! She's all I have left!"
You see, father was the one who worked and provided for the family.
"I'll try harder, I promise!"
And with my mother struggling like she was.
"Just give me one more chance!"
They took me away...
I have lived here for about a week... not that I could be sure... I'm only eight. I stayed away from everyone. They were all bigger then me. Stronger then me. I decided instead, to get a book from the toy room, and sit in the corner to read. I never really liked reading, but if you get board enough, you will surprise yourself...
Today was Saturday. Everyone was ordered to the lounge. Myself included. Beth, one of the staff came in, followed by two small boys, about my age. They had black hair and bright blue eyes. I had never seen twins before.
Although they were twins, they didn't seem to resemble each other's personalities much. One twin wore a midnight blue shirt, that matched his eyes, paired with black slacks. The other wore a black shirt and black slacks. The twin with the black shirt was crying. The other had a hand on his shoulder in a comforting manner, but he didn't show any emotion.
"Now everyone, these are our new members, so please be nice!" Beth explained, a strained smile on her face. This was hard losing your parents, she would know. Everyone nodded, but didn't say anything. I was still in the corner, reading my book. They looked around my age, but that didn't mean they would want to hang out with me. I felt it easier to keep to myself.
Everyone was dismissed a few minutes later when Beth was called away. Everyone else went back to what they were doing before, as if nothing had changed. They did that when I joined as well. Maybe I shouldn't have taken it so personal.
The twins looked around a bit, seemingly confused, or shy. I couldn't blame them. I was the same. It wasn't a good feeling. To be alone in a new place. So I decided to approach them.
"Hello! My names Mai! What's yours?" I asked, trying to sound cheerful. The sobbing boy looked up at me, and gave me a shaky smile.
"I'm Gene, and this is Oliver" He informed softly.
"It's very nice to meet you Gene! And you too Oliver!" I greet, bowing slightly. As I stood, I saw Oliver's hand stretched out, as if to shack mine, and Gene arms held to the side of me as if to hug me. I giggled slightly, but quickly shook Oliver's hand and gave Gene a hug. At with point both twins looked as amused as I did.
"What's that book you're reading?" Oliver asked. Even though he was about my age, he spoke with perfect diction. I held the book out to him. I would have told him the title, but I wasn't sure I was reading it right. "spiritual investigations" He read, perfectly. I nodded slowly, realising I hadn't been reading it very well at all.
"Wow! That's so cool! But it's also very nerdy... Lets play a game!" Gene suggested, sounding like a hyper puppy.
"Sure! What do you want to play?" I asked. Gene looked thoughtful for a second, before reaching out and tapping my shoulder.
"IT!" He yelled, before running away. Oliver quickly followed him, running away from me also. I stood there in shock for a split second longer, before rushing after them.
I quickly court up to Oliver, tapping his shoulder "IT!" I yelled, before running in to opposite direction. Oliver turned, but decided to go for his brother instead, who was hiding behind a tree. He was giggling, like he had found the best spot to hide and no one would find him. But his giggling gave him away. Oliver sneaked up to him, tapping him on the shoulder.
"It!" Oliver yelled, running away. Gene looked a little dumbfounded. When the shock died down Oliver was gone.
I was hiding in the little, outside, play-house, when Oliver joined me. I giggled, and he put a finger to his lips, signalizing me to be quite. I had to cover my mouth to stop myself laughing. It didn't work, and Gene soon found us.
He got Oliver who was closest and then Oliver got me, before running away himself...
We played for another half an hour or so, before it started getting dark. We all lay on the grass, looking up at the sky. I was in the middle, with the twins ether side of me. We watched the sun set together, and in that short time, we became best friends...
The next day, after breakfast, we went into the garden to play on the swings. I loved the swings. Me and Gene had competitions to see who could get higher. He won most of the time, and the times I won, I thought he was letting me win, so I never counted them. Oliver sometimes pushed me as well, so I cheated a little. But then Gene would pout, and Oliver would push him too.
Oliver didn't really go on the swings much. We guessed he didn't like them. It was a bit of a shame really...
No POV
Later on that day, they watched the sun set. It was getting later in the year, so it was getting colder, and the sun was setting earlier.
Mai lay in-between the twins, and had already fallen fast asleep. The boys looked at her adorable face as she slept, smiling slightly. Oliver took off his jacket and draped it over her. Gene, not really wanting to be out shined, folded his jacket and placed it under her head. Mai stayed sleeping softly, even as the twins took one of her hands in theirs, before falling asleep next to her...
Please R&R!
