1 Christmas Disaster

In the year XXXX, December 25, at exactly 6 o'clock at night time, everything seemed to have changed for the worse.

At an early morning, exactly 8 am the world is bustling with excitement, many people have started to go either shopping or window shopping, with family's also starting to exchange Christmas presents, but this is only the start of the upcoming disaster.

In the meantime at a corner of a salon shop a young twin a boy and a girl, wearing ragged clothes and only a thin blanket to hide from the cold, their characteristics were oddly different to normal people, their eyes has the color of an emerald which seemed to be blooming with life and a hair similar to the color of the snow.

The two siblings started a small conversation in the midst of the heavy snow.

"Hey Rina, here have some of my bread"

The boy spoke with warmth to his younger twin sibling.

As he saw her complexion getting paler every second I took the opportunity to give her my share of bread but.

"Don't worry brother I'm not that hungry..."

His younger sister replied with a smile on her face but nothing escapes from his brother's eyes and so once again he asked.

"Rina I know your already having a hard time from this cold weather... so please won't you take this loaf of bread...? so that I can put my mind at ease"

"Brother but-"

Rina's words were cut short by her brother's sudden interference.

"Shhh... don't worry too much about me... I'm more worried about your health rather than my own"

Then suddenly a cold breeze came by.

"Achoo!"

Hearing her heavy sneeze, I thought to find ourselves a hot meal.

"Rina, don't worry big bro will find a way to find you some nice and warm food to warm you up in this winter"

Rina slightly nodded to her brother.

Nod.

Around 12pm, Zen have started to find some warm food for his younger sibling as he slowly walked at the side of the road while shaking in utter cold.

*Shaking*

'Why is it so hard to get some food in this day...'

A strong wind carrying the cold came by.

*SWOOOOSH*

*Shiver*

A few hours have passed and no matter where he goes people always immediately tried to shoo him away for disturbing their customers and businesses, till he went at the back of a restaurant to look for edible foods, though while Zen was trying to cook up something in the trash bins at the back of the restaurant, a chef saw him.

*Creak*

"Hey kid-"

The chef's words went to a halt, because he have seen this young boy some time ago while driving through a salon with a young girl in tow.

'Hmm?'

Zen stopped what he was doing and started paying attention to the chef.

As the chef was staring at the boy, Zen answered with a question.

"Yes?"

The chef muddled through his head as he let out a long sigh.

'This kid... is so pitiful'

.....

'Sigh...'

After seeing Zen he then once again opened the door and went inside.

*Creak*

'?...'

The young boy continued to what he was doing earlier after the chef left... then the door once again opened for the third time but to his surprise he came back and is holding something that smells nice.

The chef went outside and slowly walked in front of Zen.

*Step*

*Step*

He then offered the container he were holding to the young boy.

"Here kid, take this"

Zen's eyes are brimming with joy after receiving the small container where the food are placed.

As he was getting curious to what food is inside the small container, Zen slowly opened it.

"Sniff....Sniff...."

The chef chuckled a bit seeing how the young boy is sniffing the food he just gave.

*Chuckle*

Zen saw the delicious and just cooked food inside the small container and was brightly amazed.

"Wow~"

"Are you sure about giving this to me sir?"

The innocent look from the boy's face warmed the chef's heart.

Then the chef brightly smiled as he spoke these words.

"Yes, take it and eat it with the young girl with you"

Zen quickly ran back to his sibling but before he did, he warmly said goodbye and thanked the chef.

"Bye Bye, and thank you kind sir"

*Step*

*Step*

Without further ado he's now on his way back to his sister as fast as he can while carrying the small container which the chef gave him.

*Dash*

After running so fast he bumped into a bald guy with a bad attitude wearing a business attire.

*Bump*

"Hey you damn brat watch where your going!"

Zen gave a quick reply to the stranger because he was in a rush.

"Sorry!"

*Dash*

*Dash*

*Wheeze*

'Huff... huff... I'm almost there...'

Regardless of how tired he were from running, he still pushed himself to the limits.

After tirelessly running he peeked at a nearby clock at the other side of the road.

*Peek*

'Hmm?'

The clock he saw by the other side of the road seems to have went to 5:30 p.m, without him noticing, the time seems to have gone faster atleast twice the speed of the originally supposed time.
