The Jungle Book Can Wait!

"Hi, I'm Jade. My twin brother is indeed Mowgli. Sure, you heard about Mowgli but you haven't heard about me. Yup, I'm Mowgli's twin sister. We also have an older brother named Brute. We all live in the jungle just like from Mowgli's story The Jungle Book.
I just heard that they made ANOTHER movie on that. How am I supposed to protect my twin from incoming danger if he keeps getting more notable."

"But you still find a way to get me safe."

"Yeah, but.."

"Mowgli does have a point Jade."

"Oh whatever!"

"Well here's a head start on the story, Jade, Mowgli. Usually stories start with a intriguing hook, followed by some drama on the way right? Well this story, may take a different route. You guys... just wanted to say this now but if we don't see each other forever like we'd want to, we'll hopefully see each other in the other world," he said with a smile.

"What do you mean," the twins asked in unison.

"By the way," Mowgli started. "If Jade and I are twins, why are we different sizes. We're the same height, but I'm more slender compared to my sister."

Brute only shrugged. "That's beyond my knowing. You guys are fraternal, so I guess not everything will be look alike."

"Makes sense."

Suddenly, we heard a loud roar behind us. I quickly turned halfway as a silhouette of an animal came before us. "Shere Khan?!" Mowgli shakes his head. "Jade, Shere Khan is already dead."
"So it's probably just another tiger," Brute finished. I looked back at the tiger then looked around. We were out in an open space!
"Just another tiger that wants us digested!" I grabbed Mowgli's hand and started running. I would've grabbed Brute' hand but he's really fast so he would've easily passed me anyways.
I took a quick glance at my twin again but he surprisingly didn't say anything about the holding hand. The tiger was getting closer. Brute then ran right past us.
"Quick into the tree!" He stopped and waited at the tree for us to climb. I climbed us first with Mowgli quickly behind. By the time Brute started climbing, the tiger was right under. With his great agility, he jumped up as the tiger tried biting at his leg. A miss. We all decided to just climb up at the top of the tree for the best safety.

"That was close," I whispered.

"Very close," Mowgli answered right after.
"We're safe for now. But even the trees can have dangerous animals."
"We know," we answered at once. I let out a yawn. "I think I'm gonna take a nap."
"Seriously? Didn't you hear what I just said about predators." I nodded as I et out another yawn and lay my head on Mowgli.

"Why me," he asked. "You're more comfortable to sleep on," I whispered falling asleep.
