Introduction:
Hello my darling, my name is Fiend and I’m going to kill you. Now, don’t panic it’s going to be quick so you won’t feel a thing. So, let’s continue with this wacky adventure and end your life. I’m not your typical teenager now. I grew up in a fucked up house and when I say fucked up... well, let me just tell you. When I was born, I killed my mother it wasn’t on purpose. She died giving birth to my twin sister Angelic and I… after that, my father went cannibal. He made Angelic and I grow up eating humans without us knowing it. At age 13, my father found out our secret we kept hidden away from him.
Our father ended up making us kill for the first time and showed us how to prepare a human meal. I say, at first I thought it was gross, but as I got older it grew on me. I grown to understand his insanity… and I liked it. We killed for our father and with each kill we made we got cut on the arms.
On our 15Th birthday, the cops arrested our father and the children services took Angelic and I. The only reason they didn’t send us to jail was because our father took all the blame for the murders. We were put into foster care with other kids and were watched by a staff. I’ll admit now just as well Angelic would, I wanted to kill people and feast upon them. ‘Cause the food they was giving us was causing problems.
Anyways, I knew… we knew, that we couldn’t kill or eat humans anymore. We had to fit in with the rest of the human population or we will face consequences. So, we made ourselves eat their food and we eventually adapted to it. A month, before our 16Th birthday we got adopted by an old couple named Missy and Jack. They were good parents to us and they sent us to school and did all the other usual typical family stuff.
I mostly tried to keep to myself because I feel too awkward, so I would be mostly quite.Angelic was a little more social than me but at times she would keep to herself when she doesn’t feel right. Angelic and I took on several fighting courses to improve our skills for when we needed to defend ourselves. Once we were 18 we got cars, graduated and moved out the house. Today, we are 19 and on a very special quest.
You’ve met my sister Fiend, don’t you just love her. Well, I’m going to tell you the secret our father discovered. My sister and I have a special gift that we developed at the age of 9. I’m going to tell you Fiend’s gift… now she forgot to mention to you that she is blind. Her being blind doesn’t slow her down at all. She can only see shadowed figures and she can see into the future whenever she wants. Fiend is a skilled swordsman, so when you see her walk around with her cane watch out, it’s a sword.
Now me, myself, and I… well I’m able to move objects with my mind. Not only that, I can close my eyes and visualize an object that’s from a distance and bring it to me. I’m skilled in daggers; I have two daggers I like to hide in my boots and I can throw right on target when I need to. Then, Fiend and I share one gift and that’s reading other people’s minds. This also gives us an advantage to talk to each other without others hearing a whisper from us.
Enough with that… Fiend mentioned to you about how we are on a special quest, I’m going to tell you. The special quest is to find out how we obtained these powers, why we have them and if possible what are we? We both know this is going to be a long journey for us just to find these answers.
