Shattered

We're fraternal twins, maybe she wouldn't feel this way if we were identical I've heard that sharing the same birth bubble gives identical twins special mental powers or something.

BEEP BEEEP BEEEP

I'm jarred from my inner musings to the blaring alarm

"THERE HAS BEEN A BREACH WITHIN THE PALACE"

My eyes flutter open impossible our home is so well guarded this is ridiculous.

"Probably just a cat again....." I began to say, but there's fear on my mother's face that speaks of things I don't understand a reality I can't begin to comprehend.

"Get behind me girls and if anything happens run! Promise me you will run" I've never heard my mother's voice shake like this. joking yes, angry more than I would like, loving most of my life ...But never terrified. What was going on?... "Promise" we whisper.

The bedroom door is torn to shreds as five rabid Lycan blast through, leaving destroyed fragments hanging off the lingering hinges.

The first thing that registers is the horrendous smell flowing from the group, they look bestial their mouths drooling froth, eyes bloodshot and tinged yellow.

The first two storm my mother but she's quick to defend. I sweep the room keeping my promise to my mother first and foremost. It's obvious Arabella and I are no match for these grown adults.

my eyes snap to a Lycan choking Arabella against the corner of her bed, with no fighting skills she's rapidly losing consciousness. I'm not going to make it in time.

My mother's hands are claws tearing him away from her, the two who charged her are lying on the floor in pieces she has a few serious-looking injuries that are bleeding far too much, I'm not surprised she's come out on top she's the best among warriors we have. I've seen her spar before but goddess nothing like this bloodshed.

My eyes meet my sisters across the room. She's gasping for breath, there's two Lycan left and one sends my sister flying through the room striking the door frame like a ragdoll. Lycan scum! They're struggling to drag her out the door.
Idiot I need to think! Goddess, I'm not able but I need to do something anything Arabella lacks any skill whatsoever in combat, she's limp right now, she has far less of a chance than me.

I go to lunge forward as a loud bang sounds. I can't move....omg I can't move !! there's a burning pain in my side I look down at a large dart stabbing out of my hip.
Within seconds I'm shrieking, my blood is raging in my veins.

My bones are cracking, I feel something puncture and abruptly I'm drowning in my attempt at breaths. There's nothing but agony.

My mind doesn't feel right it's splitting in two, this suffering is too much.

"What the fuck are you doing that's all we have" the voice is gruff

"She got in the way, I'm not a fucken marksmen" that voice sounds vacant and bitter.

Mother tears a heart from its chest.......

All I hear are her howls......

All I see are her dull eyes.......

I'm fracturing, breaking like glass shattering.....

HUNGER.
