Chapter One
A Regular Day

Joe opened his eyes softly, breathing in the chilly air in his room. He didn't stir, in fact he was wondering whether he should go back to sleep.
"Joe!" Lee pounded on his door, "Get up! It's almost time to go!"
Joe groaned as he turned over on his side, "Go away Lee!" he yelled. Joe heard his twin sister walk away from his door. He supposed he should get up, after all it was the first day of school today. Being late wouldn't exactly help. Sighing, Joe sat up and swung his legs over the bed. He sat there a moment feeling himself come out of his sleepy state.
Get up! Joe suddenly heard in his mind.
Stay out of my brain Leon! Joe thought angrily.
I will if you get up, Lee taunted.
I'll fry you, Joe warned.
Yeah right, he heard. Although he didn't think that message was meant for him. Joe was going to have to work on shielding his mind when he wakes up to.
Sometimes Joe didn't like being able to hear peoples thoughts, sometimes he just wanted to be a normal teenager, one who couldn't hear what his crush thought about him. Mostly he tried to shield his mind from others thoughts, but he usually forgot and heard everything around him. Lee tried to take advantage of it by learning what people thought about her, as a result Lee had no friends, just Joe. She couldn't help it, loud Lee was stuborn about how she was. Joe was to. But heartbreak can do that. Joe and Lee's mother was the only person who didn't toss them like trash. They were still trying to get along, even thought Joe and Lee had found their mother only two years ago, they were still awkward sometimes.
Joe pulled on some jeans and a t-shirt then walked into the small kitchen.
"Breakfast is served!" Their mom, Helen, said. She placed a bowl of cereal in front of Joe then poured some milk in. After Lee and Joe reunited with their mother she was overwhelmed with joy and insisted on doing everything for them. She said that she was making up for the first thirteen years that she missed.
"We all know that Lee is excited," Helen said glancing at Lee, who was glaring, "But how are you holding up Joe?"
Joe could tell that Lee was excited. He could read it in her mind, "I don't know," Joe said honestly, "I'm kind of excited but not so excited at the same time."
"Tenth grade," Helen marveled.
"Juniors next year," Lee said, mimicking her thoughts. Helen frowned but said nothing.
"Yeah I know," Lee said rolling her eyes, "You don't like it when I do that."
"Now Lee," Helen began,
"Okay, I'll stop rolling my eyes to," she interupted.
Quit, Joe thought to her. She flashed a look at him then looked down at her bowl.
After breakfast Joe grabbed his backpack that had a few empty folders and notebooks and caught a taxi with Lee. Helen didn't have a car. She couldn't afford one. Joe and Lee climbed out of the taxi just before it sped off. They stared for a moment at the large high school. Shaking his head out of the trance Joe started walking beside Lee into what seemed a dark cave that gobbled them up and only spit them out of mercy for good grades.

Chapter Two
High School

Lee felt jittery as she walked into the math class.
Your first class, she thought to herself, Don't blow it. Then she remembered that Joe could hear her and blushed. Joe looked over at her but said nothing. That's something that she loved about Joe, she didn't have to say any of her problems out loud but he still heard. The thing that she loved was that he could relate to most of it. They had grown up together. Known each other forever. Lee knew that he was her brother, and she loved him alot, but sometimes she could feel him watching her. That was one of the few times that Lee could not hear his thoughts. When she couldn't hear her brothers thoughts, Lee felt... empty, cold, like it wasn't him. She felt like he was hiding something. Not being able to read what it was made Lee feel powerless, scared, and angry.
School... school... school... Lee tried to remind herself, Focus on school. It's not like she needed to, she could just read the teachers mind and get all A's. But if she gets too hyper with reading minds, she starts to not be able to block anything out, she starts hearing the whole worlds thoughts. Joe helps her. He does what he calls frying to her brain. Lee doesn't know how he does it, he just wipes the thoughts away. But if he does it when she's not having one of these drives, it gives her a burning sensation... like a brain freeze. Joe doesn't like hurting her, so he try's not to do it recklessly.
The teacher wasn't in the class just yet.
"Hi!" A bubbly girl beside her said.
I wish I had blonde hair, the girl thought. Lee couldn't help it, she heard her.
"But brown hair is pretty!" Lee blurted.
"What?" the girl said surprised, "How did you-"
"I mean..." Lee faltered, school isn't even five minutes in and she said something she wasn't supposed to.
That's just what all people say, Lee heard in her mind. Joe came to the rescue.
"That's just what all people say," Lee voiced Joes words, "You know, wishing for my hair color." Lee smiled at her.
"Oh," the girl said flatly, "Well I'm Yasmin."
"Lee."
Just then the teacher walked into the classroom. As he got started she saw a note on her desk,
Is that your brother?
Lee looked at where Yasmin quietly pointed two desks behind her where Joe sat.
Sure. Lee heard in his mind.
Yes. Lee wrote this on the paper and passed it back to Yasmin.
He's cute! Yasmin replyed.
Sick. Joe thought to her.
Ugh! Lee heard the teacher think as he strode over to her desk. Lee tried to shove the piece of paper in her jacket pocket but the teacher ripped it from her hand.
"Passing noted are we Miss Newman?"
"No," Lee murmured under her breath.
"What's that?" The teacher asked with a tone.
"No sir," Lee said louder.
Jerk. Lee heard Joe think. As the teacher walked back up to his desk Lee looked out the window. She saw a bird looking intently at her.
That bird isn't looking at me is it? Lee thought
Of course not. Lee heard Joe. But she couldn't be sure if Joe's tone was reassuring or worried.

Chapter Four
The Bird

Not the bird! Joe thought, he knew Lee couldn't hear him. It was a side effect that, that witch gave him! Sometimes Joe wished he had never met that witch, but that would mean he wouldn't have found Helen.
The witches assistants were birds which had been transformed from humans. They were her slaves, the ones that could not strike a bargain with her. Lee knew nothing about it, part of Joe's deal with the witch was never to tell anyone. The witch had cast a small spell on Joe, so that whenever he thought of the witch nobody could percieve his thoughts. That meant Lee. Joe felt safer with Lee knowing his thoughts, it helped him know that somebody knew his secrets. But this was the one secret Joe kept from Lee. The witch had taken something precious from him in return for directions to find their mother.
Stop thinking about her, stop thinking about her! Joe thought. A tingling began in his head, and suddenly... he lost consiousness.

Joe felt consious, but as he looked around he saw nothing but black oblivion. He felt like he was laying on solid ground. Joe stood up and looked down at his hands. That was strange, he expected it to be so dark that he wouldn't be able to see himself, but he was clear as day, all the way down to his shoes.
Joe needed to get out of there, if he stayed there too long he may never get back again.
Focus! Joe told himslef, Focus! Palm trees, white beach, Lee, Helen, vacation. Joe saw some color through the oblivion, I wonder what that is, Joe thought, he closed his eyes and thought about different foods, sleeping in, and he searched his memories for something funny.
Joe! Joe heard in his head, Joe! He shook his head slightly and waited for his eyes to adjust to the lights in the school hallway. How did he get here?
What? Joe thought to Lee. Glad he was able to hear her voice, or rather... thoughts, again.
What happened!? Lee thought to him, the panick clear in her thoughts.
What do you mean? Nothing happened. Lee didn't reply to this thought directly. But Joe could sense her overwhelming worry.

Chapter Four
An Empty Fridge

Lee was so confused. Joe suddenly got up and started walking out of class. The teacher asked where he was going and he replyed that he needed to go to the bathroom. The teacher said he needed a hall pass and handed it to him. Lee started panicking as she saw Joe glaring at her, she couldn't hear him. This has happened before, Joe seemed to be taken over, not himself. Even when Lee focused all her power to hear him, his mind was blank. When he finally came to, he acted as though nothing happened. He returned to his seat.
Are you okay? Lee thought to him.
I'm fine really, Joe thought back.
Last class of the day, Lee noted, Will you be okay until then?
I'm fine Lee, Joe thought reasurringly to her.

As Lee walked into there cold appartment, she noticed something different that she couldn't seem to put her finger on. She tossed her backpack onto the sofa and went over and opened the fridge. There was two apples, one rotting banana, and some milk that the expiration date was past due. There was also a note.
Order pizza or something. Lee picked up the note, underneath was a credit card.
"Pizza for dinner," Lee called, even though it wasn't necessary.
"Yep," Joe said.
"Helen works nights tonight right?"
"Mm hmm."
There was silence. Lee couldn't handle silence, and she didn't want to bring up what happened to Joe today.
"Have you noticed anything different in here?"
She noticed to? He thought.
"Yeah," Lee said in reply to his thought, "I just can't tell what."
Joe was thinking of possible things. Was it the temperature? Had Helen moved something around?
Lee knew it wasn't those things, she felt something defferent.
Help me! Lee help me! Lee suddenly heard, she stood up quickly, They've got me! Wait no, don't come, they'll get you to! Lee felt a diconnection with the speaker, like they had been fallen asleep.
"Did you hear that?" Lee asked Joe in a panicked whisper.
Joe nodded solemly, "Helen."
