The night was cold and damp. Dark clouds loomed heavily in the sky; thunder rolled all throughout and shook the ground. Moon and star light could not penetrate and illuminate the land Gwen and Sodina ran through. The girls' only help was that of a dimming beam of a nearly drained flashlight. Huge divots and uprooted trees led them to their intended quarry. The destruction had been infrequent when they started trudging through the grasses and woods, now it was becoming more of a regular occurrence. With any luck, they'd make it in time to save Ben, and bring Nikki back to her senses.
As they trekked through the dark forest, Sodina felt it was time to explain everything to Gwen, "I didn't want to burden you with our bleak family history."
"Fill me in," said a now fully clothed Gwen, "I'd like to know exactly what we're up against."
"A shapeshifter, but you already knew that... in her current state, she's extremely dangerous."
"How so? And what would cause her to react like that?"
"Early childhood trauma."
"Huh?"
"Several years ago, Nikki lived with both of her parents, and they were just an ordinary family. Business at the inn and restaurant was high and Nikki was growing up beautiful and healthy––everything was perfect," Sodina paused and grit her teeth, "Sorry, it's not so easy to talk about. Anyways, shortly after Nikki's ninth birthday, she noticed something weird about her dad––the way he addressed her, the way he held her, and got close to her. He... He started touching her."
Walking at Sodina's side, Gwen kept silent, not knowing what to say. Never had she known anyone who had gone through this. She and Ben grew up lucky, they had a loving family and friends. Aside from her and Ben's years of feuding, their lives were sparkling clean.
Sodina continued on, "For a couple years this went on... and then, one night, dear ol' dad tried going all the way with her. Just as she promised him, everything up until then was their little secret––"
"Wait a minute," Gwen cut in, "I just realized you kept saying 'Nikki's parents' and 'Nikki's dad... are you two not really––"
"That's right. Well, to be specific, we are the same person. Sorry, earlier this afternoon I was still in character, so to speak."
"How could that––"
BOOM.
The two girls stopped dead in their tracks as the ground shook violently beneath them. Two things they were sure of now: they were close to finding their loved ones, and that explosion surely meant a fight was going on. Both Ben and Nikki were still alive out there. If they hurried, the apparent battle would not have to end in tragedy.
Swampfire barely managed to dodge another energy blast from Nikki, who had turned into yet another alien (one he did not recognize, nor could he see clearly in the dark). Painfully, he rolled on the ground among the sticker bushes and broken twigs. All of his wounds were now bleeding through the patchwork Gwen had set for him just hours ago.
Another energy blast cut through the cool night air, this one caught him off guard, catching him along the lower half of his leg. He cried out in a mixture of surprise and pain. Reasoning with her didn't work––he'd tried that extensively ever since he led her out into the woods, away from people––it was like his voice never made it to her ears. Unlike all of the other aliens he'd encountered, this was the first he'd flat out refused to fire upon. She was just a young girl, there was no way he could fight back.
Futilely, he called out to her again, "Please don't do this! We don't have to fight!"
"If you do not fight back, you will surely die," the alien stated flatly.
"I'll take my chances dodging you."
"Why are you so bent on refusing to face me?" she asked, becoming impatient with his apparent cowardice, "You're not used to a girl fighting back, are you?"
"It's not that! It's the fact you are a young girl that won't allow me to hurt you!" Ben fired back, keeping his emotions in check; he couldn't let her get to him. After all, that stubbornness and fiery attitude tended to show up once in a blue moon.
"And what about the other girl you were with? Those things you were having her do to you...," Nikki's voice trailed off, and then suddenly roared, "She's your own blood, how dare you take advantage of her! You may not be my father, like we thought, but you might as well be him!"
In the blink of an eye, Nikki charged and tackled Swampfire and pinned him roughly to the ground. More than a little dazed, he coughed and breathed heavily, desperately trying to catch his breath. Before she could attack any further, he managed to choke out, "You don't understand... both of us want that... I love her."
His consciousness started to fade, Nikki grabbed him by the throat and shook him violently, "You honestly believe that! The only reason she goes along with you is that she's afraid of what you'll think of her... or do to her if she doesn't. You'll––"
"ENOUGH!" Gwen's voice carried through the forest, over the rolling thunder, "He's telling you the truth! I love him! Please stop this, he means no harm and has done nothing wrong."
Nikki kept one clawed hand tight around Swampfire's neck and raised the other into the air, "You've no need to defend him any longer. You're safe now, and I can put this––this monster––down for you!"
That was all Gwen needed to hear. Her emerald eyes started to glow shades of fuchsia and glared hatefully at the female alien. A strange aura overtook Gwen's form and gave off a magnificent heat. Nikki's grip on Swampfire's neck lightened, her other hand lowered slightly, as she took notice of the sudden transformation.
"If you so much as lay a single claw on my cousin," Gwen spoke clearly and intently, "then I will kill you," she raised her hand, open palmed, toward Nikki, "I'm not messing around, and I dare you to call my bluff."
Nikki moved not a single muscle and said nothing, as if in a quick draw at high noon. The redhead was as firm and rigid as a statue, neither her expression, nor aura, faded in the slightest.
"I assure you, I do not intend to live without the person I love most in this world," Gwen said firmly.
"She's telling you the truth, you know," another voice came from the thickets, "You can hear how calmly she's stating those facts. She won't think twice. And you know what'll happen if she kills you, right?"
Nikki cringed and nodded meekly, keeping herself silent.
"That's right, she'll kill me too."
Inwardly, Gwen shuddered at the thought, but she kept her cool on the outside, she didn't move, or even flinch. Her hand still kept a firm lock on Nikki. If she'd shown any break of concentration, Ben surely would have been killed.
The grip around Swampfire's neck slackened and he dropped to the ground, unconscious.
"I never want to see anything happen to you again––ever."
Gwen lowered her hand and shot a look over to Sodina, "You? But I thought you said that she––"
"She was traumatized seeing what was happening to me. When he would start with her, she would try to put her mind in a different place, in order to ignore what was happening. Eventually, her transforming nature was able to produce me, an exact duplicate. A twin. I hid from her parents at first, sneaking into rooms at the inn that were seldom used.
"Nikki and I played all the time, to help keep her mind off her father. The next time her came after her, I took her place... I couldn't bear knowing that I, nothing more than a carbon copy, would stand by at let a little girl be assaulted like that. I couldn't remember anything after that bastard finished. It was her alien defense mechanism, her body would not be compromised, and I would not feel or remember a thing."
"But I still couldn't let you go through that!," Nikki cried out, "You protected me without any thought at all..."
"She saw what he was doing to me and snapped," Sodina walked over to her sister, "and chased that bastard of a father away."
"He was able to change," Nikki sobbed, "he often transformed into different people, or things, when he locked them up in my room. Mom was always at the restaurant. I always hated myself for not doing anything sooner, that's why I went so crazy when I saw your cousin transform earlier... and when I saw what you two were doing tonight. I lose total control of myself. I'm so sorry," Nikki finally broke down in tears and dropped to the ground next to Ben.
Their loved ones rushed to their sides, Sodina and Gwen both assessed the damage. Minor cuts and scratches, nothing a few band-aids and rubbing alcohol wouldn't cure.
Gwen sighed with relief, "Both of them are very lucky. Ben was able to avoid her attacks, and it looks like he didn't even try to fight her."
"I will be forever grateful for that," Sodina whispered as she picked up her sister, "Let's get them back to the inn. Rest will do them wonders."
And sleep did the young teens much good. Ben and Nikki slept soundly the entire trip back to the inn (Ben had luckily transformed back into himself, a much lighter form for Gwen to carry)and even after Sodina and Gwen cleaned them up and tucked them in. The brunette and redhead slumped exhaustedly onto a comfortable sofa in the random suite they'd chosen to set up camp in.
"I hope this... ugliness from our past can be put to rest, before she, or anyone else, gets hurt," Sodina thought aloud, breaking the silence between her and Gwen.
"Has it ever been this bad before?"
"Never. Even when we first attacked your cousin, we were just gonna rough him up a bit and hopefully chase him off. But tonight she actually made to kill somebody who did nothing wrong. She needs help," tears welled up and slid down Sodina's cheeks in tiny rivulets.
"And you can't go to anyone here. If you did and she transformed, more innocent people could get hurt... or worse," Gwen finished the other girl's thought.
"Then they'd take her away... she is part alien after all."
Gwen pondered for a moment, "I think I know someone who could help you."
Sodina looked up, wiping the tears from her face, "Really?"
"Yes. And he's dealt with aliens and everything before. He's a doctor, and he's actually helped out Ben and myself in the past."
Sodina's face lightened considerably, the corners of her mouth turned upward slightly, it looked as if a great amount of weight lifted from her shoulders. She wanted to speak up, but could not find the proper words. A mere 'thank you', Sodina felt, would not do.
"Once everyone's up later on, I'll have Ben make the call," Gwen said, finding that a smile had grown across her face as well.
Several hours later, Ben did make that call for the twins. An appointment was made for a week from the day, across the states.
"You two can make it out that way in time, right?" Ben mused after he'd put the phone back on the receiver.
"Pfft. I can go three times as fast as any one of your aliens, Benny," Nikki said, and stuck her tongue out.
"Bring it on, we'll see about that someday," he winked.
"So you will be coming back?" asked Sodina, who was leaning against the restaurant bar, behind her sister.
"Definitely," Gwen assured them, but it'll have to wait until we find our Grandpa Max."
"We'll be waiting, you two are welcome here anytime," Nikki ran up and hugged both Ben and Gwen. She turned back to look at her sister and mom, "Right?"
"Of course they are. Room and food will be on the house every time, too."
"Thank you," Ben said, picking up the to-go bag the twins prepared for their journey back, "We'll see you all later. Take care until then."
The twins and their mother waved goodbye as Ben and Gwen walked down the stretch of road, and waved back in return. The cousins were surprisingly quiet on the trip back, though they walked happily hand in hand.
"I still think that was very sweet and brave of you," Gwen finally broke the silence, "Not fighting back at all, I mean. That might very well be a first for you," she teased.
"Eh, don't be too surprised," Ben replied sheepishly, "I didn't really have a choice. If I beat her up, I'd have beaten up a girl."
"Sooo, getting your ass kicked by a girl would be any better in your mind?"
"I'm used to it," he turned to face her and smiled.
"Yeah, but you like it when I kick your ass––should I be jealous of the past twenty-four hours, or so?"
"Not at all. You're the only one who can actually turn me on doing something like that."
"Shame," Gwen said, sighing, "Nikki was a cutie, I would've let her join in."
Ben stopped dead in his tracks, jaw dropped, "Wha––really?"
Gwen, too, came to a halt, only to punch him in the shoulder, "No."
"Oww."
"Dork."
