A Family of Theirs

"Prologue 2 - Yui and Rye"
In the place where legends call it The Frontrooms, there lived two pairs of twins who shared a unique bond. They were born in different parts of the world, yet fate brought them together in the most unexpected of ways. Their lives were entwined by a mysterious force, one that they couldn't explain but always felt. As children, the twins would often have the same dreams, see the same visions, and experience the same inexplicable phenomena. They knew that they were connected in ways that went beyond the physical realm. However, they didn't know that they will meet unexpectedly.

"We hope to meet you soon."
London, a large city where millions resided, was now shrouded in a thick layer of gloomy clouds. On this regular morning, the rain started small, everyone expected it to end in a few minutes until it was raining cats and dogs. Thousands of citizens rushed to the nearest shelter, and so did Rye and Yui, the two were in the suburbs of London. The twin girls held each other’s hands tightly, and Weller, the older sister, led the two to a small roof of a department building.
“Why are we so unfortunate?” Complained Rye. The poor fifteen-year-old girl was all damped in her yellow skirt, her hair all twisted and messed up. “Guess we will have to wait here. I should have brought an umbrella. But who knows that the rain would come so soon?” Replied Yui, the older sister. They looked into the pouring rain. There was no one in the streets, letting out an empty and lonely vibe. The loud sounds of raindrops landing on the glass roof they were under were terrifying yet enticing, with the wind blowing and the leaves of the trees making a hissing sound. The sisters soaked themselves up in the masterpiece of nature while the heavy rain continues.
The freezing atmosphere mingled with the feeling of dread and despair. The temperature dropped drastically without a sign. “It is freezing…” Said Rye, who was cuddling with her sister in the cold wind. “It is too cold. We need to get indoors.” Said Yui, who was terrified by the horrible weather. The sister was shivering in the chilly wind. Suddenly, Weller seemed to spot somewhere available. “Look! There is an empty café over there! It looks suspicious as there is no one in it, but the door is open, I think we should go there. Nothing can be worse than freezing to death here, right?” “Yes…” Rye was too cold to squeeze one more word out of her stiff lips.
The two surged forward, across the streets, with all the gelid water falling on them. They must get to the shelter as soon as possible. It was their only hope. The rain did not seem to stop, and every step they took felt more difficult than ever. A minute felt like an hour and the slightest pain felt lethal. It felt like a year have passed before they finally made it across the street. Rye’s strength left her. “I want… to… go home after… this…” She said while panting. “We sure will.” Said her sister, relieved as they reached the other side of the road. The rumbling sound of thunder could be heard. This was not a great sign at all.
The two quickly entered the abandoned café, it looked like it was unused for some years. Everywhere was covered by dust, the tables, the chairs, the kitchen. The twins did not recognize this place at all. “This place seems old. Have we been here before?” Asked Rye, who was relaxed finally after warmth had reached her. “I don’t think so. Maybe we just went too far away from home.” “The rain is still falling, let’s explore this place a little, shall we?” said Rye, “I am bored.” “Sure I guess, what could be in here anyways…” Answered her sister.
What Yui stated may be true, as there was not much in the café. All they could see is tables and chairs and windows… Wait… “Is that a door? It seems like it is unlocked. Should we go check?” “I would only say no if this is trespassing, but I guess this place is abandoned… Well, be careful then.” ‘Yay!” Replied Rye playfully. Without a bicker that would usually happen between the two, the door was pushed open with ease.
In front of their eyes, is a pile of boxes and a lot of disposable utensils scattered around chaotically. “This is just the storage room… Nothing special…” Said Yui as she browses the room, “Wait, there is a staircase in the corner!” “Should we go up?” Tempted Rye with excitement. “Alright, only for once.” The twins went up the stairs carefully and reached the second floor. “Huh. Is this a living place for whoever the owner was?” It was what an average interior of a house would look like, except there was no trace of humans living in there at all.
“Alright, I think the rain just died down a little… Let’s go home…” urged Rye, who was finally warm but bored. “Alright, alright.” Yui held her little sister’s hand and walked back to the staircase… Wait… This did not seem right at all. At its place was a very long and slim pathway, but not where they came from. “I swear that it was not there a moment ago!” Said Yui anxiously. “There does not seem to be any other way down though. I think we would just use this to go down instead. Maybe it’s just we remembered wrong.”
The twins proceed along the mysterious corridor. Little did they know that they had been taking a one-way trip of no return…
Along with "us".
