The Beginning of the End. IV

Archer sat, fondling the gold wristwatch on his palm. His face expressed calmness, but his teeth was clenching in rage. He moved his eyes away from the device, and then to the empty space right in front of him, his feet repeatedly tapping the ground.

"Archer!" a voice came, and he immediately hid the wristwatch in his cloak's pockets.

"Arch... it's me, Arch..."Emily kept yelling a she walked towards the backyard where Archer sat. He kept staring at the direction the voice was coming from, unmoving, until she finally appeared.

"I'm home..." she exclaimed, suspending her arms mid-air.

"Arch...? Seriously?" he asked, raising a brow She chuckled as she moved closer to him.

"You don't like it?" she teased.

"Please, don't ever call me that in the public, cos I'm already embarrassed privately" He said with a small smile.

Emily laughed loudly, and Archer smiled at her.

"Let me fix you something to eat while you go in and freshen up" Archer said, getting up from his seat.

"Why do I have to freshen up?" she asked, sounding pained.

"Cos you stink"

"Jeez! That's rude you know?" she exclaimed. Archer chuckled and pulled her nose softly.

"I'm kidding" he whispered, and turned to leave. He put his hands in his cloak's pockets, and something fell off unknown to him, and he walked back to the house.

"Something dropped from your p..." she said, and stopped when she realized he wouldn't hear her. She picked it up, and decided to give it back after lunch.

Meanwhile, Somwhere in the country, In a well-furnished sitting room:

"Calm down baby, we'll find it" A woman's voice came from inside.

"Where? Where could it be?!" a masculine voice followed. A youth walked out in anger. He was pacing around the living room, and he looked to be Jaden. His mom walked out too as she had been trying to calm him down.

It looked like magic, as someone with the same face, size, height and complexion as Jaden walked out too.

He had his hands in his front pockets. One would have confused them for each other, except the latter had a non-chalant look plastered on his face.

"Jaden, go help your brother find his wristwatch" the woman ordered, glancing at the latter twin, but he didn't budge.

Meanwhile, the other twin was turning every single thing in the living room upside down, but found nothing.
