She wiped the juice off her lips with the back of her elbow, about to take another bite...
...When the strange machine the others were calling a television began to flicker and make strange noises. She drifted toward it curiously, trailing behind the girl with the picture. Sydney stared, wide-eyed, as people began to flash up on the screen once more. Her eyes only got wider and wider as each scene played out.
As her and the girl she was standing next to appeared on the screen, her interest peaked. If she took one more step toward the television her nose would touch it. She watched, not sure what to think of herself, as she made June her accomplice in "terrorizing the local pub owner". Four things and four things only registered in her mind:
1.) She was a criminal.
2.) She had a sister... a twin sister. And she was standing right next to her.
3.) She was a bad sister. One that didn't take care of her twin properly, apparently...
4.) She was a disappointment to her the older woman. Could it be her mother?
To be honest, number three bothered her most. It was one thing to screw up her own life, but she realized how awful it was that she chose to drag the other girl into trouble with her. Sydney found herself looking at June with a somewhat apologetic expression on her face, feeling rather guilty even though she didn't even remember the fiasco.
As she watched the rest of the scenes her expression changed from one of confusion and guilt to one of horror. She didn't know what to think. She didn't know what to say. She didn't know what to do. Sydney just stood there with her mouth open, gasping. She was in a room with more than one killer and quite a few criminals. For a second she wondered if this was some sort of punishment they were all receiving, but then she remembered the seemingly perfect girl, Laryn, the boy that had been stolen from and her sister. Surely they didn't deserve any sort of punishment?
She glanced up at June, a calculating look on her face. "I believe so." she concluded, holding her apple limply at her side. She wasn't hungry anymore. "I don't get this. I don't understand this at all!" she cried out in frustration. "Why would someone erase all of our memories and then remind us of only the bad ones? I don't deserve this. No one deserves this!" Sydney wiped an angry tear away from her eyes, not wanting to cry in front of anyone. She was no weak little girl that cried when she was scared. She was strong.
Sydney bit her lip, swallowing hard.
June was taken aback. Her sister was upset; June was a little uncomfortable calling her that, but it sounded familiar, as if having a sister was a vague memory far back from her early childhood. But they did have some similar physical characteristics here and there, as if they were of the same kin. They definitely weren't identical, that was for sure. Fraternal was what they most likely were.
Seeing her sister attempting to suck it up and hold in her tense emotions was heart-breaking but June, not the most courageous person, stood there as still as a statue, her facial features set in an unnerved expression. What was wrong with her? Shouldn't familial instincts be kicking in at the moment? Biting her lower lip in almost the exact fashion that Sydney had hers, she reached out a tentative, shaking hand. Her dainty fingers made contact with Sydney's shoulder and she squeezed it lightly in what was supposed to be a comforting gesture, although June was so nervous and scared that it might have looked like more of a spastic movement. "It-it will be alright," She murmured, making an effort to speak a bit louder, "At least we have food, eh?" She smiled ever so slightly and gestured to the apple that was held limply in Sydney's hand.
