Thread: The Highwayman Reborn (JMontvale&NightDagger)

NightDagger said The dream, how long had she been having it? It was always the same, the window, a since of helplessness and a gun. It never made any sense to her when she woke up just a bunch of boggled images and a since of emptiness, as though she was missing something...or someone. That morning when she woke she felt like she hadn't slept at all last night after the dream. Slipping into the shower she sighed and began to wash her hair. Celia was 16 same as her twin brother Edward, like most girls her age she was beginning to show what she would look like as an adult. Long graceful legs and inviting hips, not to wide, but not to narrow. Her breasts road high on her chest perky and proud, she'd been a late bloomer so gravity had yet to effect her too much. She was a dancer too, trained in classical ballet and ballroom. Usually a reserved young woman. The teen kept to herself during the school year usually locking herself away in some corner of the library reading. Sure she'd had guys ask her out, even dated a few but it never lasted because she never....felt right with them. The only time it felt right was when she was with her brother, but of course....they were related so it wasn't as though she could date him. It was unnatural so she tended to distance herself from him. Sighing she slipped out of the bathroom and got dressed before heading downstairs for breakfast. Morning Edward. she said softly avoid his eyes as usual. Click to expand... Edward groaned when his alarm went off. He hadn't slept well after the nightmare, not just because of the damp sheets but also because of the terrible feelings of heartbreak and helpless rage the dream always forced on him. He could never clearly remember the dream after waking, but the sense of fighting a hopeless battle and the painful emotions always lingered for a bit. Of course, Edward didn't know anything about heartbreak. He had never had a serious relationship. Edward had dated a few times, of course, but he had never moved beyond kissing, and he had never given his heart to the girls he had dated. None of those girls had ever... felt right to Edward. Dating was usually tedium bordering on discomfort for the teen. He never felt as is he belonged with any of them. Edward used the front bathroom rather than the one that connected his room and Celia's. It was slightly inconvenient, but Edward always had put his twin sister's needs before his own. As he showered, Edward thought it a sad irony that the only girl he was ever really comfortable with was Celia. He could open up to her and tell her his deepest secrets... all but one. She understood him when Edward was a bit of a puzzle to even his best friend. Of course, Edward could never admit to Celia that he had unbrotherly feelings for her, and he worked to supress them. He knew that if was wrong, and Edward would never upset his beloved sister by telling her how he felt. Edward was on the school gymnastics team, and he had a lean, firm, agile body. Still, he wasn't the typical jock. He didn't bother to hang out with the popular crowd and chose friends who had a playful sense of humor. Edward was a bit of a jokester. He targeted bullies for his practical jokes and was almost never caught. The bullies learned early to leave Celia alone. Any sort of threat to her, and his playful nature would be replaced by something darker. Edward was a little quicker getting ready that his twin and was already in the kitchen when she arrived. He offered Celia a warm smile, but saw that she was avoiding his eyes again. Celia had been doing that a lot lately and it worried the boy. He was sure that if he had done something to upset Celia she would have told him... or at least pranked him for it. Not understanding what was wrong only made it worse for Edward. Good morning, Angel, Edward said, using his nickname for Celia. He poured himself some cereal and milk. He tried to not notice once more how beautiful his twin was, but it was like trying to ignore the sun. How's the best sister in the world doing today? He made himself smile in the hope of cheering Celia up.
