The fall of a Twin

Chapter 1

 P.O.V (Arien)

Once the maids were not looking Arjen telepathically told me

"hide that in your dress for our stock pile later"

As I hid the bread in my dress my mind began to wander to the moment we came here...

It was about 2 months ago when Rurahel died and we were found. She died at night drunk and screaming but in the end the unkept garden was what killed her. I still have shivers when I begin to think about it.  The night she died I watched it happen, I just remember the sight of the stick ripping through the fabric of her dress and her along with the panic I felt about what would happen to us, the illegitimate twins of the empire. That night I did not sleep much so in the morning I looked terrible Arjen covered the window for me to try to get some sleep. When I was unable to sleep after a few hours Arjen and I decided to see if we were able to move so that we could get some food to make sure we did not starve. But when we went outside it was not me who collapsed it was Arjen and the only thing I heard before I collapsed was,

"Ar-ie-n hurr-y and hide u-s"  and then he fell and passed out. I understood and did my best to drag us behind some bushes before I felt a familiar painful throb in my head like the one we felt when we were about 5.

Then by the time I had woken up we were in a comfortable bed and I smelt an intense flowery smell along with a tangle of golden hair on my fingers. 

(This is an AU where they had a second manifestation because their first was incomplete when they were 5 so their having the manifestation in parts)

I looked over to my brother and saw that he had long golden blond hair it looked the same as the last time I saw it when we were 5, the only difference is that we were in a soft comfy bed in a luxurious fancy room. 

( Imagine the room however you like to I find it more fun that way)

"Arien where are we?" arjen asked me sleepily

"I have no idea do you remember anything from when we hid in the bushes?" 

"Nope I have no idea but judging by the room were probably at a palace or the imperial palace"

" Arjen if we were at the imperial palace don't you think that we would be dead by now?"

" I don't know maybe they wanted us to fell the pain"

As a shiver ran down my spine and Arjen and I looked at each other suddenly the doors to the room burst open and in walked a tall man with blonde hair and servants behind him.

"Arien isn't he a royal?" Arjen said telepathically 

"Why do you think that Arjen"

"You idiot he has blonde hair" 

When we stopped talking we realized that the blonde haired man was looking at us so we turned and glared at them. The blonde haired man then ordered the servants to clean us up and then he walked away.

The maids then walked towards us and quickly whisked us away to wash and cut our hair. We were not that worried about our scars because we thought this manifestation had cleared them away again like when we were 5. 

All of a sudden we heard the maids around us gasping when they looked at us. When I looked down I realized that our scars were still their and they were not changed a bit. Arjen reached his arm over me to shield me from the maids stares and whispers. As I was rolling my sleeve down I heard a loud shout,

" ENOUGH" a maid with brown hair and some wrinkles shouted, she continued by saying "keep your dignity and respect they are members of the imperial family and his majesty ordered us to clean them up."
