Chapter 1
Average Day
I knew of a school once that specialized in kids like me. I was 15 years old when i saw a pamphlet showing smiling teens on the cover as the walked to the school in the upper left. At first it sounded almost too good to be true to my younger self. A place where i could finally show my ability was like a blessing.
That was until the thought of my repulsive father never letting me go to a school for "freaks". I had set the pamphlet back down on its shelf with the other school pamphlets. Then i bought myself a soda from a machine near by. Slowly i made my walk home from the store. Taking my time i puzzled and thought of all the outcomes around me like i normally did. A bunch of what ifs had filled my head until i had my hand on the door of my house.
The tv had been on in the living room and i knew what that meant. I had tried to reach the steps of the stairs before the figure on the couch could. A large hand blocked my way as my heart quickened and my face flinched back. An young man in his twenty's stood before me with a grin ear to ear. "Hey lil bro. Just get home from school?". I remained silent as he spoke. My brown eyes glared at him angry for all the evil things my older brother Isaac had done to me. Evil that went deeper then any brother hate should go. In a abyss. "I just wanted to stop by to see how dad is doing but he is at work isn't he?" I moved his hand off the rail so it wouldn't block me as i walked past him. My head turned with a straight face showing my brother no emotion."You know he always works late on tuesdays Isaac..."
I tried to walk further upstairs but the feeling of my brothers arm wrapping around me like a hug. I wish i could of been somewhere else. Maybe even dissolve into nothingness. Feeling him close scared me in more ways then one."Hey were you going Zander? You gotta keep your give your big brother company" My fingers clenched into knuckls. The hug was lasting longer then needed. Feeling his chin rest uncomfortably near my neck caused a chill to run up down my spine. "I have a lot of homework to do Isaac... i really need to get it done" My voice was like a sad whisper that floated through the air. Tears formed in my eyes as pulled me down back to the bottom of the steps "No no no your going to be a good brother and keep me company."
Later that evening I heard knocking on my bedroom door. I must of cried myself into slumber as my eyes were flickering open. A yawn escaped my lips as i pushed myself up and off the bed. scratching my head as i grabbed the knob opening the door. I was greeted by a familiar face. A slightly short light skinned girl wearing a similar attires with jeans and a sweatshirt. Brownish curls were pushed back with a head bans to show her features that resembled Me very much. The appearance belonged to Zoey Zalver. And if you were wondering we are not twins but are one person. As i should of explained that the thing that makes me a freak is more different then other random peoples abilitys as mine lets me shift into parallel universes. The only few i have gone too had minor changes in my opinion but there was one where i meant Zoey my female double ganger or in other words the female born me. "May i come in please?" The words came out of her mouth kindly with hints of saddness. I nodded moving out of the way to allow her access. Some call it complimenting myself but i'd be lying if i said i hadn't checked Zoe out as she walked past me.
Seeing the usual light skinned legs of her's cross when she sat down on my bed and the same old curling of her hair. It was always then signal for me to know she wanted to talk. I normally thought of it as a form of self checking to make sure we were ok. As we had the same ideas and thoughts for the most part. Just a single chromosome separated us from being clones.
"I assume what that you want to talk about earlier?" I said as i turned to face her.
"About Isaac.. yeah" She said all calm like.
"Yes i know i experienced it too." I said walked over to a bouncy chair in my room. Sitting my behind on it as I talked to myself.
"Funny how are pain must happen isnt?" She said as she picked up my self phone and began looking through it.
"Pain? i would call it a numbing boiling hatred in my bones" I said getting irritated that she was lookimg through my things and annoying with stupid questions.
"You want me to leave don't you?" She asked looking at me with those pretty brown eyes.
"Yes I have had a bad day and I'm not in the mood." I said shrugging my shoulders as I spoke.
"We....We..had a bad day.... I know you did....but...Idk your like my only friend other then.." Zoey said but I quickly cut her off before she guilt tripped me.
"Henry...I know. Now if you don't mind I would like to go back to my sleep." I had sounded a little more bitter then usual but I had a bad day and didn't want to talk about it.
" We can be such assholes sometimes..." She said as she got up and walked over to me. The kiss on my
