Twins - Legeriz 8

Fire

The porcelain vase flew past her face, shattering against the wall behind her, as a large and menacing fist came into her line of sight, blinding her instantly... Darkness

She awoke, vision blurred as her lungs struggled to take in air. She gasped against the nothing as her hands scrambled to identify the surroundings. It was dark, dusty and her heart was pounding. Whispers of white light cracked through the porous walls as her eyes sensitised themselves to their surroundings. Marble; ivory and beautiful, as the one she had seen not long ago, adorned the square space. Neat chunks shaped into the wall intensifying the illusion of an infinity space yet still ensuring that its occupants were aware of the compressing size.

Head pounding, she pushed against the walls, tears hot and wild, running down her face as the fear of closed spaces took over her. Whimpers were heard and past to no avail as she broke down by the now suffocating room and collapsed into the silence. His face appeared and she felt his pain now consume her.

Ice

She playfully bit his lip as he throatily chuckled. His breath was alluring and cool as he grabbed her with a desire unmatched by any before. His lips traced hers as the embrace continued. The aqua waters playfully swirled around their legs as the sat on their boards, clearly uninterested in the golden sand and waves before them.

Smirking, his strong hands guided her towards the waves that lay ahead. They paddled eagerly towards the large and cascading white curls, fear playfully skirted away, hearts full of a desire to triumph. He rose, balancing perfectly on his board, as he began a large decent; the waters guiding him towards victory. The water crested, and he soared, ruler of the sea for a moment, eyes effortlessly staring towards the horizon ahead. She watched in awe, as the wave took him higher and faster; heartbeat accelerated as the water grew large, his balance stumbled and the ocean consumed him.

He fought, hands pummelling towards the surface, but the water continued to beat down. Irises widened as his lungs filled with sea water, and his breathing slow, suffocating into the darkness. As the air escaped him, he felt a familiar feeling of connection, tears streamed through the salt water as he felt his sisters pain.
