chapter 2: gifted twins

Eve was engrossed in her favorite novel, "The Lord of haveThrone," as she sat comfortably near the fire, enjoying a warm cup of chocolate tea. The crackling sound of the flames provided a cozy atmosphere, and she wrapped a soft cotton blanket around her shoulders, relishing the warmth it offered.

Lost in the wizarding world depicted in her book, Eve was completely immersed in the story, eagerly devouring each page. The vivid descriptions and enchanting plot transported her to a realm of magic and adventure. The Lord of the Throne, a book known for its gripping narrative and intricate world-building, held a special place in Eve's heart.

However, in the midst of her literary journey, a sudden knock on the door interrupted the peaceful ambiance. Startled yet curious, Eve closed her book and made her way to the door, wondering who could be visiting her on this cozy evening.

She swung the door open and was pleasantly surprised to see two young girls standing there, around the ages 16.

" hello Miss Mothew ." the girls chorused smiling warmly towards Eve, who smiled back confusedly.

" am Violet and this is my twin sister Viola , we live down the street." One of the girls introduced reaching out her hand for a hand shake.

Eve took the small hand of the young girl, her hand was unimaginable cold ,Eve wondered if it was cold or everyone in oymyakon

including the young girls had cold hands. "Nice to meet you, Violet and Viola," Eve said, returning the warm smile. "Please, come in and warm yourselves by the fire." She stepped aside to let the girls enter her cozy living room, curious to hear what brought them to her doorstep.

As the girls made themselves comfortable, Eve couldn't help but ask, "So, what brings you both here tonight?" She glanced at their winter attire, noticing how well they were bundled up against the cold.

Violet and Viola exchanged a quick glance before Violet spoke up, her voice soft , " we heard you moved just moved and came to welcome you to Crestwood." Viola took out a box handing it over to Eve.

Eve took the Box with a calm smile, " thank you ,I didn't know the people of Crestwood are so caring ."

The two girls exchanged a glanced," not really Miss Mothew , we just wanted to welcome you , it doesn't likely mean every one in Crest wood would , they are too busy with the Church's matter " Violet who seems to be the talkative among the two said.

Eve nodded slightly confused a bit on what the girls meant but she also didn't want to know, " thanks anyways." Eve quickly prepared another round of chocolate tea for her unexpected guests. The aroma of the freshly brewed tea mingled with the scent of burning wood, creating a delightful atmosphere.

" it alright Miss Mothew , anyways why did you move from your country to such a cold temperature, any special reasons , beyond human knowledge."? Violet asked sitting on sofa while her twin sister stood behind her.

Eve sat on her former spot , holding a cup of hot chocolate.

" not really anything beyond human knowledge, I was just having a hard time with life back in Finland and I have to move to a more peace full place to avoid my head exploding."

The girls were quite for a while, " did you experience a heart break or something ?". Viola asked her voice sounding meek.

Eve looked up suprisely , " how did you know? Did someone tell you?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.

Violet and Viola exchanged another quick glance before Violet spoke up, "No, Miss Mothew, nobody told us. It's just something we sensed. We have a peculiar gift, you see." She paused, her eyes studying Eve's face as if searching for something. We have the ability to feel the emotions of others, to connect with their inner thoughts and feelings. It's a gift that has been passed down in our family for generations."

Eve's eyes widened with astonishment. She had never heard of such a gift before. "That's... incredible," she murmured, trying to comprehend the depth of their abilities. "So, you knew about my heartbreak even before I mentioned it?"

Violet nodded gently. "Yes, we could sense the weight on your heart the moment we saw you. And we felt compelled to come and offer our friendship and support."

Eve felt touched by their compassion, tears welling up in her eyes. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice full of gratitude. "It means a lot to me that you could sense my pain and reached out to me."

" you are welcome Miss Mothew , we would leave now." the girls said together ready to leave.

Eve saw them to the door but before they left Viola looked at the Eve, "Miss Mothew you have a nice yard , but please be mindfull of the wood behind your yard it could need dangerous, I would advice you to be careful."

Eve smiled , " yea sure thank you for that advice , you girls can come visit me anytime you want."

" we wish too Miss Mothew , but our new nanny is very Mindful of our where about and won't want to leave for a couple of months to come". Violet said smiling sadly.

Eve gave them a warm smile, understanding the limitations imposed by their nanny. "Well, whenever you are able to visit, I'll be here waiting. Take care of yourselves, Violet and Viola," she said, bidding them farewell. As the door closed behind them, Eve felt a sense of warmth in her heart, grateful for the unexpected encounter and the connection she had formed with the two girls. She returned to her cozy living room, sipping her chocolate tea, reflecting on the mysterious gifts the world had to offer, and feeling a newfound sense of hope and companionship.
