Things aren’t always what they appear, especially when it comes to their lives. A lone pair of twins who only care about each other seems normal…at first. However, for Gem and Jett normalcy was never an option. They were the only ones who knew it but they were both cursed and gifted with abilities beyond human comprehension. They could read the minds of anyone they chose to and they were both Telekinetic. You’d think it would keep them from harm but with their closed of minds they couldn’t see anything beyond what they wanted to.
Gem looked up at the night sky and smiled softly it was a perfect evening. She looked over at her brother Jett and smiled brightly.

“Look there” She said pointing out a constellation to him “It’s Orion…well his belt anyway…I think the other stars are there…there…there…and there”.

She loved stargazing especially with Jett he was the best company. Then again, he was usually her only company, which sometimes made her a little sad. She adored him and would hate having to live without him but she also wanted her own friends. It was actually harder to make friends as a telepath than if she were normal. She learned early to block her mind but she was too shy to approach anybody so it was a moot point.

“Don’t you just love the night sky?” She said, “It's this view that makes me glad we’re in this tiny little town”.

Jett watch as his sister pointed out the stars above. He had never bothered to study any book on the subject; finding his sisters' soft voice more preferable to any book or teacher the rest of the world could provide. Like his sister, he had trouble at times making friends. It took a lot of effort to keep everyone's stray thoughts from leaking in.

"The view is made much better with you as company dear sister." He replied, returning her soft smile with one of his own. Jett hoped to one day take them both around the world. The town they lived in was nice enough, but he wanted to see the sun set over the ocean just once in his life, and to share it with her before they both seriously started dating. Despite her shyness, he figured sooner or later someone would make a strong move towards her.

Of the two, he found his telekinetic powers came more easily to him, while her ability of mind reading outreached his. She had, in fact, been the one who helped him learn to block out everyone else from his mind. Without her, Jett knew he would have either gone crazy or killed himself long ago.
 
"Thank you" She said with a slight blush.

She knew that he wanted to travel, it wasn't something she dreamed of but if he asked her to go she would. He'd been her one companion throughout their entire life and she wouldn't begrudge him one dream. In fact it'd let her see just how well she could block her mind from the invasion of thoughts.

"You know...sometimes I wonder" She said "If I could get away with reading my teacher's mind".

She laughed softly, there was no way she was serious about this but it was fun to joke about now and again. If she sailed through life that way it would be no fun. She also didn't want to just pass the classes she wanted to be able to do her own work without the help of others.
 
"I sometimes wonder what goes on in some of their minds." He replied, picking up on the joke, his smile deepening as he heard her laugh. Jett turned his eyes away from the starry heavens to look at her. She had filled out nicely for a young women. Any man would find her attractive if the gave her a chance.

"Any plans for tomorrow after school my better half?" He asked, always finding comfort in the small joke that it was. He did believe she was better, just too shy right now to see it.
 
"I'm not sure..." She said "I'll have to see".

She wasn't sure exactly what she had planned but a guy at school seemed interested in her.

"I guess I'll call you during school" She said tapping her forehead and chuckled "At least when I'm sure if I have plans".

She assumed she might just end up hanging out in the library after school like usual. It was one of her few comfort zones at the schools, in crowds her mental shields weakened enough for small things to get through.

"How about you" She asked "Do you have any plans".
 
"That's a secret." Jett replied, his smile reaching ear to ear. He liked to surprise Gem every now and then with small gifts to make her day brighter.

"Guess we should turn in for the night. Don't want to miss another day in paradise now would we?" He added with a chuckle and his smile not leaving his lips.
 
"Yes sleep sounds wonderful" She said still smiling herself.

She stood up and stretched yawning then looked down at him.

"G'night" She added going inside.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

At school the next day Gem was sitting on the water fountain reading a book trying to just keep her mind on it. Thoughts from the other students leaked in but she was tuning them out. She caught a stray thought and looked up to see a boy walking up to her.
((If you wanna control the guy I leave it open to you...if you want me to then that's fine))
 
(I'll leave it to you. I think you have a better idea how it would run than I would.)

"Good night." He thought back, knowing she would hear his words without him having to say them. He stayed out for only a moment longer, watching the stars twinkle in the clear night sky.


NEXT DAY

Jett had slipped away from the school the first chance he got. His destination: a local pawn shop. A simple gold chain necklace with a pink quartz heart in the center. He had to saved for the last three weeks to afford this gift for his dear sister, but she was worth it.
 
((alright...I just figured it'd give you something to do for a few posts))
"Hey mind if I sit with you" The boy asked.

"Uh...uhm...sure" She said in a small voice.

She hugged her book to her chest and watched him. This was the first time anyone but her brother had spoken to her.

"So...I've seen you around school" He said "I don't know your name but mine is Clive".

"I-I'm Gem" She said softly.

He smiled at her and continued to talk letting her remain quiet. She felt so nervous she thought her heart would burst apart. He was cute too but she'd never noticed looks that much.

"So...class is about to start again...you wanna get together after school" He asked her.

"Uhm...s-sure" She said with a slight smile.

"Great...meet me by the library" He said and stood up.

She stood too and rushed off to class wondering why she hadn't just said no. It wasn't as if she'd crush him for it...but something had told her to say yes.
((Sorry...couldn't think of anything else))
 
(I've had friends in RL who couldn't even do this much. lol)

For the briefest of moments, Jett had felt his sisters mind reach him. SHe was nervous, but also a little elevated. Wondering what story she would have to tell him when he got back, he decided to let the matter rest for the moment as he returned to his current task.

Gently spreading the necklace out in a small box, he tied a red ribbon he bought from a nearby vendor to keep the parcel closed. Holding it in his hands, he couldn't wait to return to her side.

(I don't mind sitting back and watching someone else have their fun.)
 
Once school was over Gem went out to meet Clive, when she got to the front of the library she looked around.

"Hey...Gem over here" She heard his voice and smiled.

He was over towards the other side of the library and she walked over. She didn't think anything was strange about this even though there weren't any people nearby.

"I'm glad you came" He said draping an arm around her shoulder "Come on I'm gonna show you something".

She nodded and went with him as he walked over towards a door round the back of the library. When they neared she got a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach.

"What are you going to show me" She asked looking at him.

He didn't say but the smirk on his face made her scared she reached her mind out and saw everything he had planned.

"No...let me go" She moved to pull away but he gripped her shoulder harder.

She was going to scream but a hand clamped over her mouth and she was pulled inside. It was almost as if it were happening on fast forward as her clothes were ripped from her. Her mind flew open as she projected everything that was happening to her.
 
Jett was walking slowly back to the school when he felt Gems' mind reach out for him. Her fear slammed into him like a car. The images came too fast to clearly make out, but he understood one thing:

She needed him. Now.

He ran. As fast as he could. Pushing aside anyone in his path. He could feel the terror flowing from her and it drove him to move faster. She had said she would be in the library, so he focused as hard as he could, trying to maintain a connection with her while he dashed onward.
 
It was over in a flash and the men stood looking at her laughing. They didn't see any hurry to leave in fact they were already planning the second round.

"Man Clive...you know how to pick em" One of the guys said.

"Its easy when you find the shy ones" Clive said with a laugh "They're too easy to fool...and even easier to scare into silence".

She just laid there curled up covered in semen her whole body shaking from her sobs. The images flooding right back into her head from the men. Her mind called out to Jett begging for him to be here to help her. She felt brutalized and dirty as if the men had stained her soul with their own filth.
 
Jett knew he had arrived too late. He could feel it coursing threw his body. He had failed her. The images came on stronger as he neared them. Turning a corner, he found the room the had decided to have their fun in.

He stood in the doorway for a moment, his mind not wanting to believe what his eyes were showing him. His kind, sweet sister covered in the seed of four complete strangers, crying for them to stop. He snapped.

The first didn't see it coming. The door to the room broke off, colliding with his skull and the far wall. Pink matter and tiny fragments of bone popped out from the top of his head as he slid to the floor. The other three turned slowly in his direction. Jett was on the second before they could speak. His hands grabbed both sides of his head as he let out a full telekinetic barrage. The mans eyes began to bleed, followed by his ears nose and mouth. A second later, he dropped loudly to the floor, his face bloated as Jett had forced every major blood vessel in his head to explode.

"Wh-" The third began before being pinned to another wall. A split second after, Jetts' hand hit him right over the heart. Pressing against the skin of the boy who thought it funny to laugh about this evening, he reached out and crushed his terrified heart from inside his body. The last, the ringleader, Clive, managed to make it to the door frame before Jett pulled his legs out from underneath him. First pulling him closer, Jett hurled him into the ceiling.

"Don't-" Was all Clive had time to say before Jett began to choke him.
"That's what she said. And did you stop?" Jett replied, looking up at the final rapist. The next sound the resonated through the room was the sound of bones snapping. All 206 in Clives' body. At once. Letting the gooey fall, he turned towards Gem. The lightly wrapped package fell from his hand a second before he collapsed down to his knees, tears flowing from his eyes. "What have I done..." He whispered as he began to crawl towards her.
 
She looked up hearing the door burst inward and her eyes widened. It was Jett she was so relieved until she saw the first guy dead.

"J-Jett" She whispered softly as he went after the second.

She flinched as the man began to bleed from every opening in his face, she'd never known this was Jett's true strength. It was the third man's turn and she wanted to scream at him to stop but her voice wouldn't work. She was horrified as her mind picked up the terror in the men. Clive's was the worst she could feel every second of pain and openly cringed whimpering as he too was killed. She was shaking when he finally realized what had happened and was crawling towards her.

"Jett..." She shakily tried to stand but all she could manage was to get to her knees "You...you came for me".

She couldn't bring herself to think about the dead men...she knew they deserved it but she wished it hadn't been her brother. When he was close to her she used temporary momentum to throw herself into his arms and sobbed softly.

"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry" She said softly "I shouldn't have trusted him.
 
"I killed them." He replied softly, still in shock at what he had done. "I killed them. They hurt you, and I... and I just..." Jett trembled as he spoke. His arms encircled around her body as their tears continued to fall. It was a few moments more when Jetts' mind began to work again.

"We need to get you cleaned up. The woman's dressing rooms are just down the hall. I don't think anyone is using it right now. We should be safe there. I'll carry you. Just... hold on to me."
 
"Jett...don't think about them...not anymore" She said too afraid to even talk about it.

She listened to him talk he was right...they had to get out of here. If they were found she didn't know what would happen to him. She was certain now that without him she'd be lost.

"Okay..." She said softly circling her arms around his neck.

She couldn't take this though she felt so guilty if she'd just refused Clive's offer they'd be at home now.

"I'm sorry Jett" She said softly "I'm so sorry".
 
"It's not your fault...It's theirs...." He whispered back to Gem as he stood. After several deep breaths more he began to walk, cradling her in his arms as he exited the room. He tried to think of a joke to tell her, to calm her and reassure her that everything would be alright. But none came.

It took only a scant few minutes to find the changing area. Jett pushed the door open, uncaring if anyone was on the other side. Luck was with him for once: the area was clear. The light drip of water was heard to his left.

"We need to get your cloths off and find fresh ones. We also have too..." His voice failed to finish the rest of his sentence.
 
"Jett...what's wrong" She asked him "What else do we have to do".

She was worried this whole situation made her extremely scared. If someone saw those guys before they got out of here Jett would get into trouble.

"Jett...calm down" She closed her eyes and reached into his mind "Panicking won't help"
 
He swallowed hard before letting his mind connect with hers. "They violated you. And we don't know if they are carrying anything. We need to wash out inside you as well." His mind finished. He held her tight against his chest. "I'm so sorry. Your first time should not have been like that." He said in a soft voice as he moved towards the showers.
 
"There's nothing we can do to change it" She said softly "What's done is done".

She knew how he was feeling and she wished it had been different too. Everything would change now they'd have to leave eventually people would find out what happened. They'd find out it was him and they'd be after him it was horrible.

"Jett...I love you" She said softly "Thank you for coming to my rescue...they...they weren't done".
 
"I will always come to you, dear sister. You are my heart." Jett slowly let the crushed box float out into his hand. In the madness, he had shoved in back in his pocket. "I bought this...for you." He said, passing the small gift to Gem.

Without letting go, the tap slowly started to turn on. "When you're ready, we'll get you cleaned up." His voice started to smooth and calm down as he continued to hold her.
 
She looked at the box and at him then it didn't seem appropriate but she opened it. The gift inside brought fresh tears to her eyes.

"Its beautiful Jett" She said softly "Thank you".

It must have cost him a fortune and he'd still give it to her after what happened. She couldn't suppress the fact that she felt tainted, she'd hide it from him but it would linger.

"You're always...so wonderful to me" She said smiling "Come on...I need to get cleaned up".
 
Jett slowly let her slide from his arms to touch down gently on the floor.

"Do you want me to wait for you in the changing area, or do you want help undressing like when we were little?" He asked with a slight smile. He knew that at the two of them would soon have to run, but for the moment, one problem at a time.
 
She managed to stay standing this time the initial shock was wearing down.

"I should be fine" She said softly "Just keep watch...".

She was afraid someone might come in and find the bodies and blame Jett. Gem stepped inside the shower curtain and removed what was left of her clothes. It was then that she finally noticed the bruises starting on her body. The tears flowed again and she turned on the shower. Things should have been different she shouldn't have had to endure this.
