Thread: The Highwayman Reborn (JMontvale&NightDagger)

NightDagger said When Edward used her nickname it always softened her up, what ever wall she tried to build to fight off the attraction crumbled. It was almost as though she couldn't help it. It drove her half mad she wasn't supposed to be attracted to her brother! Especially her twin brother! I'm fine. she said smiling softly and hiding a yawn behind her hand. I had a nightmare last night and I didn't seem to sleep well afterwards. she gave her head a shake and sat down across from him with a glass of orange juice in one hand and a bowl of cereal in the other. On the brightside at least we're off school for the next two weeks. The spring carnival is in town. Celia loved the spring carnival it was a travelling circus that came to town every year during spring break. It stayed for two weeks before moving onwards. There were all sorts of games and rides not to mention fortune tellers and fire eaters. It had an old world charm that always relaxed her and made her never want to leave. When are we going to go Edward? she asked. It has to be soon or else all the good prizes will be gone. and with that she began to eat. Thier parents always seemed to be out of town for one reason or another and the twins would often find themselves home alone for weeks at a time. Due to this they pretty much raised one another with the assitance of various nannies and babysitters throughout the years. However since they were 12 thier parents had been letting them stay home alone so by now this was familer behavior eating together with no parents in sight. Click to expand... A nightmare? Edward asked with a note of concern. He was pretty sure that Celia had been having trouble sleeping lately. She didn't complain, but Edward was Celia's twin brother. They both sometimes just seemed to pick up on things from each other, as if their souls were somehow joined. Maybe you can sleep in tomorrow, while we have time off from school? Edward smiled at the mention of the carnival. Ever since they were very little, the twins had gone to the Spring Carnival. The games, rides, and carnival food, along with the old world entertainers and music were something Edward looked forward to every year. The last 2 years had been much less fun for Edward, however. Edward had been dating when the time of the carnival rolled around the previous 2 years, and he had needed to take his girlfriend rather than go with Celia. Both trips had been miserable. The whole time, Edward couldn't stop thinking about how much more fun it was to ride the ferris wheel with Celia, win prizes for Celia at the games, or share a candy apple or funnel cake with Celia. In fact, while Edward had never failed to win a large stuffed animal for Celia since they were both 10, he had failed to win a single prize for either of his dates. But this year, Edward wasn't dating, and once more he'd get to go to the carnival with his favorite girl in the world. He smiled at Celia and pulled a pair of gold passes out of his pocket. The teen had saved up all year to show Celia a good time at the carnival this year. We can go as soon as you want, and as many times as you want, sis, Edward said happily. These passes are good for the whole time the carnival's here, every ride, all of the acts, and the big feast and fireworks at the end. He hoped Celia would like the surprise.
