Leah was sleeping in her room,suddenly she heard some movements in her room.She was frightened because she is alone at home at that time.But definitely,someone just entered,not only into the house but into her room,who could it be?She checked but there was no one.

"Could it be I have problems with my hearings or am I drunk?But the little alcohol I took,could not possibly make me that drunk.But if I'm not drunk,then what could it be?A Ghost?"She shouted.

"Ewwwww!Thinking of a ghost made me have a goosebumps"She added.

"No,its me."A voice answered

"Whoa!What was that?A Ghost?Is it truly a ghost?But wait,of all places why my room?"

"Well,you can say so,but calling me a ghost is a little bit..erhmm..unfair?But honest speaking am not a ghost."

"Then what are you?Eey!Not that.Why are you here?"

Just then a young lady appeared before her,an exact replica of her,but with slight difference.The so-called ghost is having a long,raven black hair and a pair of Auric gold eyes.While Leah is having a pair of blue eyes and a blonde hair.

"This is crazy and not real.What kind of goddamn dream is this?Am I hallucinating?Well,that would make more sense.You are not real."

"No I'm real,but I'm not human"

"You are not human?That's even more absurd".said Leah who couldn't help but feel even more absurd.If a person is not human,what could they possibly be? More than a thousand question marks are roaming around Leah's head.

Leah was going nuts,and this uninvited guest is not helping matters.

Moments later..........

"You are still here?"

"Yes,I guess waiting for you."

"Me?"

Then the lady gently said

"Now here me out".

Leah nodded

"You have a twin soul,and that's firmly the reason why I'm here.Do you get me?"

"Yes,hashtag I know I have a twin soul,but then there is something that I'm missing.And that is why you are here."

Leah said giving her a question look that needs explanation.

"Why I'm here?That makes me your twin soul."

Leah was not quite convinced,so she asked.

"What's your core CODE?"

"Myne"

"And........hashtag that's you."

"Yes,why would I even bother lying to you?Would I benefit from it?"

"Well,we are here now and we are okay,aren't we?That's what matters,right?"

"That's right,you are now making some sense girl."

"Hmmmm......then..what should I call you?"Leah said asking no one in particular.And after a series of thoughts,she decided on what to call her.

"And whats that?"

"ARIELLE."

"Arielle?"

* * * * * * * *

'They worked so hard and tried so hard,but anyway I'm here,hashtag I've already ruin all those hardwork.Heheheh!I'm quite a little trouble maker and a small genius'.Leah thought and couldn't help but chuckle and pat herself in proud.

***

"Leah?What are we doing in this atrocity company?"

'......It was Arielle,hashtag I wonder if she ever keeps quiet.I don't know if it's that hard to stay a second without talking'.Leah thought

"Let's get out of here,now"She added.

"I don't remember ever tying you down with a rope to follow me here."I replied.

She didn't answer,and Leah thought it was for the good.

"Leah,why..........."I interrupt her.

"Will you shut up?Won't you stay a second without talking?"

She kept mute knowing this little trouble maker is good at shutting people and she love to do so in particular to her.

Leah tiptoed like a thief and open the door silently.

"Lucy!" She called almost in a whisper

"Leah?What are you doing here?"

"To check on you,I guess."

"Really?But you know its quite dangerous."

"Yeah,you know......."she was interrupt

"Hey!who is she?"It was Arielle

"Hashtag I asked you to keep mute,right?"

"Yeah"She answered

"Leah?"Lucy called

"Mmmmm"Ara answered absentmindedly.

"Who are you talking to?"Lucy asked

"Well...ehrm,never mind,hashtag I will come clean later"

"Do you think that there would be a later?"

"Yes,why not?There would always be a later."

"I am really grateful,talking to you is telling me you are a true friend."

"Oh!Come on,Lucy.Hashtag I'll get going,since I caught a glimpse of how you are doing,before he comes."

"Who?"

"Hashtag He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named,Bye Lucy."

"Oh!"She smiled,knowing fully whom she's reffering to.

"Okay,see you around Leah."

They quietly left and she knows definitely what time will it be.

"Hey!Who is she?"

"Who?"

Even though she knows what Arielle means,she intentionally played dumb.

"Oh!Her?Hashtag Lucy"

"Oh!Girl,Of course I know she's Lucy."

"Okay,Hashtag My friend?"

"I thought you said you have no friends?"

"Well,yes"

"Then?"

'Oh,God!Is she some sort of paparazzi?Question after question'.she thought.

"Then what?"

"Elucidate,Clearly."

She cleared the Q's in her mind and narrated every single thing,in which happened.

"Something is fishy,I mean something is not right.I've missed a thing."Leah said.

Arielle smiled,while Leah gave her a questioned,confused and curious look.

She smiled,before saying

"You are always confused at the same time curious,aren't you?Don't you know the saying curiosity kills the cat?"

"Well,in that case I will gladly let it kill me.And speaking of which,you definitely know something I may not know,care to share?"

"There is something that you guys don't know,yet" Arielle replied.

"What?What is it?"

"You said her cousin,right?And he was there when you guys meet?"

"Yes definately."

"You know,he once tried to kill me,and ofcourse he succeeded,and that's why I'm here now."She replied.

' What the hell did she mean?Hashtag,was she a human before turning into a twin soul?Was my twin my twin soul?Is that the reason why we look so much alike?Hashtag Mom didn't tell me anything about me having a Sister'.Leah's head was bustling and working to fill in the puzzle into place like a rollercoaster. But she maintained her calm demeanor on the outside,as unaffected.

"Also,he was the one who killed her parents and tried to put a lid over it". Arielle added.

"Her parents are dead?My Goodness!That guy is really not human".

Leah blurt out unable to maintain the unfazed demeanor.

* * * * *

"Ron,are you even listening?"Jav asked

"What happened?"

"Holy shit!I've been talking to you for ages,what's wrong with you?I mean these days,you are no longer yourself."Javi replied.

"What is it now?"Myron asked

"Ron,we have to go home."Jav replied

"No,I'm going nowhere".said Myron

"Come on,It's been age's,almost three good years,aren't you missing home?Is it because of the mystery girl?"Jav asked

Myron was silent,and so Jav surged ahead.

"I know,I'll be a fool if I don't,it's really because of her."

Myron shot him a cold glare,his eyes carrying hints of killing intent and replied.

"I just can't drop everything and leave the company just like that and go home."

Feeling the cold glare,sending chills down his spines.But still summoned the courage and added again.

"You've just been using the company as an excuse to stay for the girl,right?"

"I know you will not stay,will you?"Ron asked deliberately avoiding the question.

"And why would I?"

"You see?Who would look after the company if we are not here?As you know,Ian is not here,would have leave it to him."Myron said as he shot him another cold glare.

"Silly you,and what about Hagreet?He's an excellent worker.I trust him and I know you do too"

"......" Myron.

* * * * * * * *

'The great Kingdom of Arthes is where we hailed from.Well,we've left a pile of workload.We are on a mission of the GOLDEN YOKE.I know I must finish it,no matter what.But,no worries cause Ian and Javier are quite helpful'.

"Your Highness,the First and Second prince are back."A servant announced.

"They are back?You mean my sweethearts are back after those years?"

"Welcome Myron."said their Mom

"First Brother,welcome back."Areis said as she slightly hugged him.

'I was wondering why.......Suddenly someone jumped onto me.And I guess it would be called a...hug'.

"Babe,long time no see.Anyway,its good to have you back."

Introducing the Ortoms.

Emperor Neil

Empress Katherine

Princess Bella

Princess Areis

And Prince Myron.

They make the Ortoms.

Their cousins Prince Javier and Princess Erica,Javi's elder sis,are not exempted from the Ortoms.Javi's Dad,Myron's Uncle passed away not long after Erica went missin,and losing their Mom again while giving birth to Javi.Practically,Myron's Mom and Dad are his parents and they are his only family,I guess.

"Babe,by the way why are you back?"It was Bella.

"Come on Sis,don't be silly.You should be glad that First Brother and Second Brother are back,and stop asking such useless questions."Areis replied.

"Anyone looking for me?Javi at your service."

'I was looking for something in that mission but something got me'.Myron thought.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

At the dinning....

"Myron,have you find it?"The Emperor asked

"Yes,Dad."Ron replied

"He is the C.E.O of ES Group."Jav added.He showed the guy's pic to the Emperor.

"Did I know this guy?"The Empress asked

"Of course,he's our classmate since elementary."Jav answered

Bella peeped through her Mom's shoulder,then said

"I remembered him clearly,he was such a jerk.A total nutjob."

"But something is not right."Jav added

"That was quite out of the blue."Bella said

"What do you mean,Son?"The Emperor asked

"I thought the yoke was meant for the Kingdom of Arthes?"He asked

"Yes,it took control of you only if you are one of us.A citizen of Arthes by blood."Ron replied

"How is that possible?I mean neither is he from Arthes nor his family.But then the yoke tracker locates it with him,how is that even possible?"

The place was in an abrupt silence,its quite twisted.And after a while,a voice break the deadly silence.

"It is possible."

Everyone turned to grab the voice,and it turns out to be Areis,who have been silent all the time.Even now she didn't raised her head not to talk of dropping the fork in her hand.

"How?"The Emperor asked

That's when she dropped the fork in her hand before raising her head to face her Dad.

"It's possible for the creator,he may be the one who designs and creates the golden yoke.Remember,the designer i.e the owner can use the yoke the way he wishes and take control of people's soul".She explained.

* * * * *

The Emperor Neil Ortom,Katherine Ortom the Empress,Myron Ortom the First prince,Javier Ortom the Second prince,Bella Ortom the Third princess,Areis Ortom the Fourth princess and Lastly Erica Ortom the HEAD Princess.

After lunch,everyone retired to their various rooms except for the Emperor who went to meet other officials while Jav is with Ron in his room.

"Ron are you hiding anything from me?"

"Me?No way,I'm hiding nothing from you."

"No you are."

"Am I?If I may ask,what is that?"

"Twin Soul."

"Oh!that?I've been wanting to tell you,but it escapes my mind".

Ron narrated everything.

"You mean to say it's with that girl?"

"Yes."

"What are you going to do?"

"I must protect her,even if it means she would be under my light."Ron replied

\* \* \* \* \*

\*

"Alecs."

"Xero,how have you been?"

"Pretty good."

"Did you find it?"Xandros asked

"Oh!Yeah,It's residing with some girl."Alecs replied

Alecs Vanderquest is Xero's associate an Xandros Drako is the He-who-must-not-be-named.Alecs knows about the yoke and he is probably the only one who knows of it,apart from the Ortoms and ofcourse Arielle,and she hasn't told Leah yet.

"Is she the same girl?"Xero asked

"Yeah,seems so."Alecs replied

"Okay,does anyone finds out?"

"I don't think so."

Xandros nodded his head and relax as they continue chatting with Alecs regarding the Group.

*

The next day was a weekend day and her parent's and brother are out,weekend feasts they called it,and so she's alone.She was taking a nap,Nanny Lan turned the door knob after knocking.

"Leah,Luciana Flynn is here."

"Let her in,Nanny Lan."

"Sure,right away."She replied and left.

"Hii,Leah".

"Lucy,how have you been?"She asked as she gave her a warm embrace.

"I'm good and you?"

"I'm doing perfectly well as you can see."

They continue chatting for a while,and suddenly She asked.

"Leah,whom where you talking to,back then at the capes?"

"Oh!That was Arielle."

"Arielle?"

"I am the light and she will be my Shadow."Ron added

"I'll rather keep mute.But then,what would you do now?"Jav asked

"I'll have to bring her here."

"Here?"

"Yes,The Arthes is sure the safest place she can stay now."

\*

"Cole"Ara shouted

"Hey,Girl!What's the matter?"Her Mom asked

"Why are you shouting all over?"Her Dad asked

"Come on,will you lift us up?I'm unable to move any part of my body"Arielle complained

"Aaaaaaash!"Leah signaled to shut her up.

"That stupid son of a......Mom. He disassembles my bed and I just entered and jumped unto it and here I am now,with my back to the ground and pain goes down through my spine and to my whole body."She added

"I'm kicking his a**."Her Mom said and left

Well,actually it's part of her habit,jumping onto a bed backwards as soon as she entered a room,while Cole,her junior brother hates that.That's why he broke the bed,knowing definitely if she suffer once,she'll drop the habbit at once.

She seriously intend on saying.....'son of a bitch',but then she remembered that her Mom is a great kicker.

"Dad,won't you lift us up?"Arielle complained some more

"Us?"Her Dad asked

"For now,just lift me up."Leah interrupted

Early the next morning,Leah went out jogging,she was wearing a sport vest and a shorts with a pair of trainers and a sport bottle in her hand which are all in a pink color.An ear pods in her ear with her phone inside her shorts pocket.She had pushed her hair in a tight ponytail,just as she passed a company,her phone rang.

"What a company!"Arielle commented

"It is more than that atrocity group in the name of company."She added

"Yeah,hashtag Arthoms for you"Ara replied as she checked on the caller ID.

"Hey!Its Lucy."Said Arielle

\*

"Hey!Its Lucy."

It was Arielle,so she ignored her and answered the phone.

"Hi,Leah".She said as soon as I pick up

"Hi,Lucy."She replied

"I haven't seen you for a while,are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm doing just great and you?"

"Pretty good.So...."She was interrupted

"Shut it,are you out of the capes?"

"Yeah,why?"

'I almost burst out of laughter,hashtag me being me,I just smiled.It was somewhat stupid hashtag question'.Leah was thinking in her mind.

"Now,you've got to answer me truthfully."She added

'Well,she didn't even noticed the voice.Because it was Arielle who asked back then'.she added to herself

"Wait,"She added when Leah didn't respond.

"Don't tell me you quit?Is it because of me?"She asked

"Well......"

"If you dare open up on phone."Arielle warned.

"Anyway,bye for now.Let's talk some other time."Leag concluded and the line went dead.

She did what Arielle said,believe me or not,she's dangerous at times.Even Leah used to wonder if it is all thanks to the harsh treatment she received from he-who-must-not-be-named.

She quickly quit jogging and retired home.

"Hi Mom."

"Hi,Hun."her Mom replied from the kitchen.

"Hi Dad."

"Welcome,Babe."her Dad welcomed her with a brief hug.

"Whoa!Leah,your Dad's funny,he even calls you babe?"

"Cut off the drivel,hashtag bedtime."

"But its still morning."

"Yeah,no buts.Just take a nap."

'I'm probably tired of hearing her voice'.Leah thought.

"Hi,dear."she replied her Dad.

\*

"Alecs."

"Xero,how have you been?"

"Pretty good."

"Did you find it?"Xandros asked

"Oh!Yeah,It's residing with some girl."Alecs replied

Alecs Vanderquest is Xero's associate an Xandros Drako is the He-who-must-not-be-named.Alecs knows about the yoke and he is probably the only one who knows of it,apart from the Ortoms and ofcourse Arielle,and she hasn't told Leah yet.

"Is she the same girl?"Xero asked

"Yeah,seems so."Alecs replied

"Okay,does anyone finds out?"

"I don't think so."

Xandros nodded his head and relax as they continue chatting with Alecs regarding the Group.

"Leah,Luciana Flynn is here."

"Let her in,Nanny Lan."

"Hii,Leah".

"Lucy,how have you been?"She asked as she gave her a warm embrace.

"I'm doing perfectly well as you can see."

They continue chatting for a while,and suddenly She asked.

"Leah,whom where you talking to,back then at the capes?"

"Oh!That was Arielle."

"Arielle?"

"Yeah,nice name,right?"

"Wait,where was that from?"Lucy asked

Leah laughed before she explained and Introduced Arielle to Lucy,and it seems Lucy like Arielle.

"Want some coffee,or atleast a drink?"Leah asked

"Nope,eerrr....just a cup of Coffee would do."Lucy replied

"And a drink for me."Arielle added.

\* \* \* \* \*

As they chat after Nanny Lan served them their beverages,Lucy exclaimed.

"O My God!"

"What's wrong with her?"Arielle asked.

"Hashtag no idea."Leah replied.

"What could be the reason for the sudden change of mood?"Arielle asked

"I don't know,hashtag I'm a little bit afraid."

"Did I......just heard you say...little bit afraid?She's totally afraid."

"Should I asked?"

"Why not?"

"Lucy,what's wrong?"

"I've totally forgot about it."

"Hashtag what's that?"

"Oh!Leah don't start that your hashtag stuff,I mean why aren't you at work for almost a month?"

".... "Leah was quiet

"What's going on,Leah?"
