Andromeda stares across the room.
She sees her lover in a lonely corner, looking distraught. She calls out his name. He looks up, his eyes are on fire with the excitement of a little kid. They both make their way into the middle of the pavilion, surrounded by ghostly people.
They begin to dance to the melody of the music. The music is broken yet whole, like a funeral procession on a sunny day. It sounds like the waltz, but like an anniversary song at the same time.
Andromeda feels her flaming red curls tickle her face as she is spun around in her light green dress. Laughing with her lover, she looks around the room. Thats when she notices to mysterious boys with appetizer trays. They are twins, under 5 feet, silver hair, silver eyes, and tan skin. She is haunted by the look in their eyes. Their eyes show a forbidden past, their knowledge far more ancient than their little boy appearance.
The 2 twins notice her lingering gaze. They look over at her, look at each other, then look back, and smile.
A chill runs up her spine. She looks back at her lover, shaken by those eerie smiles. She smiles shakily to her lover when he looks questionably at her. They resume their dance.
~~~
Suddenly there was a blood-curling scream. crash, lights out, frantic yells, thudding footsteps, tripping sounds, ripping sounds, slashing sounds, and a girl crying.
The torches turn back on. Andromeda looks around the pavilion. There is gore and disaster everywhere. Thats when she notices the people. They are strewn around the room. She notices one hanging on a torch.
She closes her eyes, then looks down. On the ground lies her lover, impaled by a dagger in the heart. She emits a choking sob, tears rolling down her freckled face.
Andromeda sinks to the ground, retching on the rocky floor. She continues to sob, covering her face with her blood-streaked hands. She touches her lovers face, leaving blood on his cold skin. Thats when she hears a breathing behind her.
She whirls around, dagger in hand. Nobody is behind her. She sighs and drops the dagger to the ground.
Thats when she hears a chuckling coming from the blackened sky.
Andromeda looks up, glaring into the black abyss.
Two cloaked people jump down from the sky. She notices white angel wings protruding out their backs. The intensity of their wings make her look away.
"We have come to you Andromeda. If you want to avenge your lover, come with us."
Andromeda looks back down at her lover. Then, straightening up, she steps towards the cloaked angels. They reach out to her, putting a hand on her shoulders. She feels a cool touch of metal in their warm palms.
"fio unus nostrum. vado per change ut mos planto vos an par ut an angelus. solvo orbis terrarum of malum."
A blinding light flashes around the room. Andromeda collapses at the cloaked angel's feet. The angels look down at her "You were chosen to save the world. You will serve us for all eternity, never aging, watching your loved ones die around you."
Noting that she was asleep, they flipped back their hoods and flew away.
Andromeda was fake-sleeping, she saw a glimpse of sliver hair and then was gone.

That happened in 1008 a.d. somewhere on an island near Ireland in a town called Allebasi.

Are the twins Vladimir and Edmund Eizenhart? Those are the only twins I know of. I really like how you write. It's so much fun.
