Wait Together

"Come on, Marisa! We're almost there!" Yasmin pulled her shy twin sister along, who was already shaking. The two were adventuring into the Arca Forest, trees spiraled high to shade from the light of the sun and moon. Legends have it, if you were to visit the cave and offer up your treasure, you'd get taken to heaven.


Marisa and Yasmin jumped over the roots of the trees, pushing aside the leaves blocking their way, and holding hands the entire way. The two stopped in front of a cave, and Yasmin spoke up first. "So what did you bring, Marie?" Marisa rummaged through her bag, before pulling out a doll, and a motorcycle toy. Yasmin got surprised, "You're really giving those up...?" Marisa nodded, before setting them aside. Yasmin reached into the bag as well, before pulling out a spiked bracelet. "I don't need it anymore, it's okay."


The two tossed the items into the cave, and said simultaneously, "We offer this to you!"


Nothing happened for a while, and Marisa moved to hold onto Yasmin's arm. "...Maybe we did it wrong." Marisa spoke quietly, looking down at the ground. Yasmin shook her head, "We did it right. It'll be okay. It'll come." before smoke begun to pour from the cave. Yasmin stood on guard, while Marisa clung onto her sister.


"TwO aT oNcE! vErY uNuSuAL!" a voice sounded as if it were glitching in and out responded, and it turned to laughter. Marisa, still holding onto Yasmin's arm, spoke up first. "We heard...that you can bring us to heaven. We gave you our possessions....take us." Yasmin looked at her sister, happy about her slight confidence, before turning back to her sister. "Yeah! That stuff meant a lot to us!"


"HmMm...I eNjOy ThEsE. bUt YoU bOtH sHoUlD wAiT uNtIl YoU'rE oLdEr." The voice chuckled, before Yasmin begun to yell. "Why can't we go now?!" The voice offered no explanation, before the smoke cleared. Yasmin felt tears slip down her face, and Marisa wiped them for her. "It's okay. We'll be okay. We'll wait together."


Yasmin sniffled and smiled softly, "Yeah, we'll wait together
