Hey guys, instead of creating a new story each day. I'll be breaking up a story I'm working on into parts. Hope you enjoy it!
Nico was in the kitchen fixing lunch for himself and his cousins Ethan and Evan when he heard a loud thud followed by glass shattering. Nico walked out of the kitchen to investigate. His cousins were rolling on the floor next to a broken frame.
"Look what you did!" Nico yelled annoyingly. Ethan and Evan were roughhousing and knocked over the frame that was on the coffee table.
"Sorry," Ethan said not meaning it. He kicked Evan off of him and handed Nico the broken frame. It was a photo of his sixth Christmas where he had gotten the remote control car he bugged his parents about for months. The glass had completely shattered and the frame itself was split in two.
"Did you guys really had to fight here?" Nico asked.
"I don't know why you're so bent out of shape about it. It's just a frame," Ethan said. Nico rolled his eyes. He took the picture out of the broken frame, so he could throw the frame away. The picture was folded so it only showed the six-year-old Nico playing with his car and his parents standing by the Christmas tree watching him. Curious, Nico unfolded the picture.
There he was again holding the same car, but a different color. Nico stared at the boy who looked like him. Except his hair was a stormy grey, unlike Nico's chestnut hair. The boy was staring at the camera with a mischievous smirk as if he had a plan that could end in disaster. "Hey," Nico called out to his cousins who were shoving each other. They stopped and turned their attention to him. "Look at this." The boys examined the picture.
"Who's that?" Evan asked. "It looks like you but with different color hair."
"But why would there be two of me?" Nico asked.
"Maybe that's your long lost twin?" Ethan suggested. Evan nodded in agreement.
Nico chuckled, "That's impossible. I'm an only child. Mom and dad would have told me if I had a twin. I'm sure something went wrong when the picture printed out." Nico took the picture from Evan. He looked at it again trying to remember if he ever had a twin brother. No matter how hard he tried he couldn't remember. He folded the picture up and placed it on the table.
"I'm going to finish making lunch. Don't break any more frames," Nico said. He glanced around at the other frames around the living room wondering if the pictures in them were folded as well.
Tune in tomorrow for the second part, Long Lost Twin: Confrontation. It's been a couple weeks since the frame was broken. Nico couldn't help but wonder who the young boy next to him was. Is it really possible for him to have a twin he had no memory of?
