Chapter 6
Telepathic Twins
Hello there, Jack Skellington here. It’s my turn now to narrate THIS chapter.
It’s been far too long since I had chance to tell this story.
Well, this chapter is about how Mr Maxi found our newest companions. The telepathic twins Devashree and Dasharath.
I suppose I should start with Maxi himself.
First of all, Maxi is a homeless man who lives in the abandoned subway with his homeless friends.
But three months ago, he came across two glowing orbs in a skip while he was rummaging for something that might be valuable.
He thought that the orbs would sell for a lot of money if they were made of something valuable.
He was on his way to tell his friends, and when he got to them they were crowded round two unconscious children lain on the floor.
They’d already called the paramedics and they were on their way.
Maxi pushed his way through to the front of the crowd.
He was about to go closer to the children. When someone pulled him back. ‘What do you think you’re gonna do, old man?’ He objected to Maxi’s approach. ‘CPR?’
Mr Maxi then took out the two glowing orbs from his pockets.
‘I is going to help them.’ He tried.
The man still hesitated and tried to stop him. Saying something like: ‘No, you have no idea what you’re doin’, old man.’
But Maxi held out his arm with the hand that held the orbs and dropped them over the two children.
The man fiercely pull Maxi back. ‘What the h**l do you think you’re doin’, man?’ He cried.
But when they both looked back, everyone was in shock and staring towards the two orbs that were glowing and floating over the bodies of the two children.
With in seconds, the hearts sunk down into the chests of the children.
They then both gasped and sat up together.
When the paramedics arrived, it was discovered that Mr Maxi was the one who revived them.
Devashree and Dasharath both clamed that they had more friends still lost out there. And that’s right, they were able to speak in English.
They insisted to stay with Mr Maxi when they were taken to the police station.
That’s when the report for the missing children was filed and the word was spread across the city.
Mr Maxi has a reputation of being an eccentric old gentleman. So when he clamed that the twins were psychic, no-one believed him.
But the twins themselves clamed that they were psychic and no-one believed them either.
That is, until they predicted that officer Harrison’s first name.
And then they predicted what he was thinking.
And then they predicted that a lady called Fiona Middleton was about to come in to the station reporting some noisy neighbours.
And they were right everytime.
This made everyone very weary, and almost a little shocked and afraid. That’s when the chief of police contacted the ICC, (Independence Convention Centre).
The twins were brought with Mr Maxi to the ICC where a very special lady was waiting their arrival.
Katie Anderson was the vice President of Independence city. She was going to meet the twins instead of the President since he was unavailable. (Apparently, he’s always unavailable). He also didn’t believe that the twins were telepathic and he said that they were a waste of his time.
But Katie was very eager to meet them. They’ve told us that she’s like Emma, just that little more grown-up.
But Katie couldn’t meet Mr Maxi. When Devashree and Dasharath came to the Independence Convention Centre, Mr Maxi wasn’t allowed in for the same reason as last time. His smell and insane reputation.
But when Devashree and Dasharath were away from Mr Maxi, they lost their ability to speak English.
So, they needed a translator. And that’s when they met Mrs Nahasapee for the first time.
They told Katie everything. Including that fact that there were more children out there. And that they all had their own special ability.
Katie was very sympathetic for them. She told them that the other children would be found.
The twin children of light stayed at the ICC in their own privet room. It was a week before they got to see the President. And he wasn’t looking forward to seeing them. (He doesn’t like children at all).
But they changed his disbelief about the psychic twins. They read his mind and shocked him.
It was another ten weeks before Mr Maxi found us wandering in the subway, and took us to Devashree and Dasharath himself.
…
Well, that’s their story.
I must say that I’m a little disappointed that I only got to narrate a short chapter. But Emma is really the best one to narrate this part of the book.
After all, there’s something special between Emma and this city.
I’m not going to give anything away, but this is certainly Emma’s kind of story.
Read on and be ready for something special you won’t ever had imagined.
