The Oracle Twins - The Awakening

The blood that now ran through their keeper’s veins gave him the ability to see everything they had seen. But it did not last and the more he drank from them the faster it wore off. For centuries the twins had to endure this torture of dying and waking back up in the exact same manner. One evening however their keeper lay dead beside them with a stake piercing his heart and a woman sitting on the couch waiting for them to wake up. Startled by her appearance they immediately stood up straight, neither of them uttering a word. The woman that looked as though she had been pulled straight out of the Amazon stood up and slowly walked to wards them. Her piercing green eyes stared straight through their souls.
"I am Alkaia of the Amazons. I have come to save you"
The Amazons used their abilities to keep the twins hidden from the world and keep them safe. They were kept in between the world of the living and the dead and could only leave when being summoned. Their bodies were put in sleeping chambers and they were free to wander limbo in piece. Their humanity by now was completely gone and their hatred for the human species took its place. The Amazons kept them well hidden for centuries. Until today.
September 30th 2016
The siblings awoke in their white robes on their stone beds.
"Are you awake?" The voice of a young girl asked.
"Who awoke us" Nikolai demanded.
"I did" a male voice replied.
Curiously they sat up to face a young girl that looked to be about seven. Her brown hair covered her shoulders and her blue eyes lit up as she smiled at them. Next to her stood a young man with a blank facial expression, his brown hair stood up oddly and shined lightly. They were both oddly dressed and the twins could not be more confused.
"Where is Alkaia?" Blanche Asked as she got up, her body stiff and in pain.
"Who?" The young man asked confused.
"Alkaia, the Amazon warrior" She replied blankly.
"The Amazons are a myth" The young man seemed confused.
"A myth?" Nikolai asked in his emotionless tone.
"Are you really like 500 years old?" the little girl asked excitedly.
"I do not like the young one." Nikolai announced; his tone still blank.
He began to move towards her but the young man pulled her back.
"Stay away from her." He demanded
"Tell us why you have awoken us, and we might spare you" Blanche said
"Put this on and I'll show you" he threw a large blue duffle bag in front of them.
They left the tomb. The siblings examined the contents of the bag thoroughly. They pulled the items out one by one.
The first item they pulled out was a strange blue pair of rough textured pants. Blanche ran her fingers over it and placed it down. The next thing she pulled out was an oddly shaped dress. It had no sleeves only two thin straps at the top. The bottom seemed poufy and swirly. It was white filled with hundreds of little purple flowers.
"I suppose this one is for me" She said. "Where are the undergarments?" She searched through the bag. They pulled out more items that looked like they were for Nikolai. He examined the odd garments.
"What on earth is this" he pulled the underwear out and examined it on both sides it was a plain blue colour. Below that were two even stranger items.
"I suppose this is for you sister" he handed her a pink bra and matching panties.
"Very well then"
They both got dressed in the odd clothing and headed out. The place they once called home was now nothing more than an empty forest. Their tomb was the only building for miles. The forest floor was covered in crackling brown leaves and twigs. The young girl and man stood awaiting them.
"I knew you would look so pretty on that dress" the young girl exclaimed. "I picked it" she added proudly.
"Yes, well it will do" Blanche replied.
"Here" the young man handed them each a pair of shoes. They put them on and examined their covered feet.
"I'm Deacon. This is Danica" He reached out to shake Nikolai’s hand. Nikolai examined the hand as his own rested behind his back.
"Why have you awoken us?" He repeated his earlier question.
"There's a war going on" He started
"Typical of you humans" Nikolai replied.
"It's not a human war" Danica announced
"We are not interested in your petty wars." Blanche replied.
"This war involves you" Deacon said frustrated.
"How if we have slept for decades?" Nikolai demanded
"Are you aware that your blood gives others the ability to see what you see?"
"If this war is revolved around us then why wake us and pull us from our safe haven?" Nikolai questioned "Because I am not about to drag two lifeless bodies around."
"We have not asked to be moved"
"And I have not asked to move you. Believe me it sucks as much for me as it does for you"
Danica couldn't stop staring at Blanche her smile filled her face as she examined the beauty of the tall blond woman standing in front of her.
Blanche felt as though she was under a microscope "What is the purpose of the small one?" She asked her tone blank as always.
"She's a uh… She keeps your existence sealed as long as she's around you"
"And how does she do that?" Blanche asked still staring at her.
"I'm a seal. Whoever I'm with is hidden"
"As memory serves, seals do not talk" Nikolai said.
"I'm sorry I'm just so exited. My mom told me so many stories about you guys"
"We should get going" Deacon said before the twins replied.
They began to walk the twins followed behind them.
At the end of the trail they froze.
"What is that beast?" Blanche pointed ahead.
"It's a car" Deacon replied sarcastically. "Come on" he opened the back door of his blue Ford gesturing for them to get it.
