"Mint! That's my blanket, give it!"

"No, Pepper, it isn't your blanket!" Both the twins held a corner of an old grey blanket in their hands and were tugging it towards themselves greedily.

The two twins weren't exactly identical. Mint had light brown hair that faded to blond at the tips and Pepper had dark brownish red hair. Their outfits were almost identical, accept Mint wore blue and Pepper wore red. Mint was right handed while Pepper was left handed. Mint had light blue eyes while pepper had darker blue eyes.

Both of them were fighting over the only blanket in the small dull room with only two beds in it. Pepper slammed Mint against the iron bars behind her causing a loud thud that echoed through the concrete halls. Mint let go of the blanket and Pepper pulled it tightly into her arms as she sat on her bed.

"Pepper, that's MY blanket!" Mint yelled as she recovered from being slammed against the metal bars. "Give it to me!"

"You were the one who got us caught!! If you hadn't slipped while running away we would have made it without getting arrested!" Pepper almost looked like a creeper about to explode with anger.

Mint shot back, "Oh ya?! You were the one who triggered the alarm!" Pepper then threw the blanket over Mints head and tackled her to the ground. Neither the girls were stronger than the other. Both had gone through everything together, so they were equally matched as they wrestled each other, both trying to trap the other in a choke hold.

A guard walked towards the commotion and hit one of the iron bars with the rod he was holding. The painful noise rang through both the girls' ears and they stopped to look at the man scowling down at them.

"Ugh! Quiet down and don't kill each other." The guard then left and moments later returned with another old grey blanket. He slid it between the bars, then walked away. Pepper threw the blanket that they had been fighting over at Mint and grabbed the new one. Then both the girls walked over to their own beds and laid down.

"Sorry, Mint." Pepper said finally. "I guess I'm just a bit angry after yesterday." Mint rolled over and looked at Pepper with a sarcastic smile on her face.

"A bit?!" She snorted a laugh and rolled back over to look at the blank grey wall. "I'm sorry too..." A silent tear fell down her face as she thought about how she might as well give that wall a name since she was going to be looking at it for a long time if their parents didn't bail them out, which would be understandable since they had broken into the most secure place in the world to steal the book of the Six Dimensions. The most precious book in all of Duriel. "..Pepper?" Mint turned to look at her sister again. Pepper turned her head from looking at the bland ceiling and responded.

"Ya, Mint?" she huffed. Not at Mint though. She was just in the middle of deep thought.

Mint sounded a bit like she was about to cry as she asked; "Why did we try to steal that book again?. What was so important about it that we didn't even consider what might happen next? Did we even think about what would happen if we were caught?. And even if we weren't, what was so special about our plan to travel to other worlds that would make us completely forget about our own mom and dad as they looked for us?" Another tear fell down the side of her face and onto her pillow as she looked at her twin in the eyes. Pepper sighed and looked up at the blank ceiling again.

"I don't know." she said finally. Then both girls rolled over and slowly fell asleep.
