"What do you have to report?" Came a quiet and musical voice from the shadows, but you could hear the insanity behind it.
"All immediate threats have been eliminated. And if I might add, the clone is nearly done."
"Good. Continue as you have been."
A swish of blonde hair, a grunt and a string of muttered swearing, and the informant, guard and prisoner were gone.

"Craaaap," I groaned. "Do we really need to fix all this?" I had just woken up with a massive headache, and our treehouse was trashed. Drake and Cora didn't appear to hear me. "Don't ignore me!" and picked up yet another branch. "Geez,
"Okay then, who were those people?"
"We want to know too," Replied Cora "I was just walking through the doorway when the helicopter--"
"Helicopter?!"
"Don't interrupt, Ace." scolded Drake, then addressing Cora "Please continue."
"As I was saying, the helicopter blades were spinning fast and too close to the tree, so it broke some branches and started a mini-tornado, and even more branches came in, and one pinned you down, but protected you a bit. By the way, how do you feel?"
"Just thinking about it hurts," I muttered, a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, I think we're done for today, guys!" called out Cora.
"Finally," groaned Drake "Are you trying to send me to an early grave?"
"Yes, now shut up and move, Drake." complained Ace from behind him.
"Hey, did you guys just hear something?"
"No," responded Drake and Ace gave Cora a questioning look. "Why?
"I just thought I heard something in the branches outside." Cora whipped her head to one side. "Okay, I know I heard it that time."
"Yeah I heard it too." Ace sounded nervous.
"Yeah, me too!" came a light voice from above their heads.
"Shi--!!" Exclaimed Ace and Drake at the same time, but Cora cut them off with a feirce glare.
"TWINS!" I yelled, another voice from above them, and then a dark shape, me, dropped to the ground beside Drake, landing lightly. "Woaaahh, I've never seen twins before." I said longingly, but still in my bubbly voice, and I started poking Drake.
"Hey, Ceil! Is that your accomplice?" Called Cora
Ceil dropped down from her perch too. "Yep! It's Soliel, my little sister."
"Uh, and how old is she?!" Drake demanded, still being poked. I giggled from behind him.
"She's eleven, but she acts like a two year old." Responded Ciel.
Ace looked confused, "Wait, how could you have not seen a twin before? Haven't you been, like, all over the world?"
That stopped my poking. I turned around, angry, but not with anyone in particular, and started to walk away, when Ciel glared at me. I could feel her gaze like she was burning a hole through my head. She thought they should know.
"I'm blind." I said flatly. "I have been for a while. No biggie."
Liar.
