Hello everbody, I'm Alies. This is a fanfiction I've been working on for a while.

It's a long term project so the updates may not be regular and the will still be distant from one another. At this moment I have only a little stash of chapters ready so I will be saving them this way.

Let me know if you like this little preface, what you think about it etc. I would love to read your reviews.

And let me know if you find any mistake because English is not my mother tongue.

I own nothing apart from my OCs.

Forbes Twin

Preface

I died, and then I woke up again. At least I think I did. It was dark where I was, and warm. And I could hear sounds, but they were muffled, like when you have your head underwater.

At that point, I think I started to panic because I tried to move, but found out that I couldn't and a melody lulled me back into calmness. I don't even know exactly when I realised that I wasn't alone in there, I was head to head with someone else, but I didn't think too much of it at that time.

As time passed by, I started to understand that the sounds around us were voices. Where were we? What happened to us?

Slowly, as time passed by, I became aware of what was going on.

Could I…? Was I being reborn? The person with me was a… Twin! Ah, I hope so. I didn't have a twin in my past life, just two brothers, one older and one younger than me: I hope they're fine.

What if ex is a she? I would love to have a sister!

I wondered if my twin would be like me, a soul that kept memories of a past life. A part of me wished for 'yes', the other for 'no': 'yes' because I wouldn't be the only strange one, 'no' because I wouldn't wish this to another.

And then, unexpectedly, something tore up and the screams began. And then our mother begun screaming louder, and we started to get squished. We were being born. I came out first, but I found that out only afterwards, in that moment the only things I could understand were: warm, being pushed somewhere and cold, terrible cold. And I started wailing myself, because it was cold and I missed the warmth so much.

Thinking back, I believe that my twin and I gave our parents and the doctors some good headaches that week. I don't know why I feel so proud of it, but I do.

In my past life I've always wished to be a little bit more independent, not so much in terms of thinking, but of acting. I wanted to have the courage to pursuit my ideas and dreams, but in my past life I didn't do it. I followed what others expected me to do because I was scared I would have being left alone if I didn't. I thought that they would consider me strange and avoid me if I told them what really was on my mind.

What a fool.

I lost so many opportunities that I am ashamed of myself. I won't fall into that path again. And if people won't follow me, then they weren't the right ones. I just hope my twin will stay with me, but I won't live for ex like I did with my brothers the first time around.

A/N Originally it was a little longer, but as I continued writing I found out that my OC was evolving differently from what I had firstly wrote down so I had to delete some parts because they weren't right anymore.
