For those of you who are curious, here is the emotionally scarring backstory of kaitlyn's family. Don't comment telling me this is stupid, or even too dramatic. I said it was emotionally scarring. yes, i made it up, and i can make very dramatic backstories.
My mother, father, my brother Kent, my sister Cammy, and I lived in a small town, ruled by a king. That king soon became a dictator. He was Emperor Jim-Jong (zhim-zhong).
The schools were seperated, girls and boys, and the girls had to wear certain clothes. All the time.
Emperor Jim-Jong was a twin himself, and abominated his twin so much, he murdered him.
That's what put me and Cammy in danger.
We were born fraternal twins. My parents knew it. They also knew we could both be killed if anyone knew. Twins were illegal.
So they lied.
Lying is a no-go policy in my family. Except when it's for the good of everyone.
Which it was.
My parents told us that I was 2 years older than Cammy (it was actually 2 minutes), so to keep with that, Cammy would be 2 years behind me in everything.
Including school.
My mother gave me a 'beginning school' present, which was a cat. I loved that cat. She was going to give cammy a dog, but then war broke out.
The emperor was making terrible laws, too many for the people to take. So, a rebellion broke out.
My father and brother went to fight. It got to the point where Kent (we called him cent because i couldn't say Kent) was ordered to sneak into the emperor's bed chamber and kill him. My dad saw it all.
Kent was killed instead.
The next day was even worse.
Since the war, I couldn't go to school, and neither could cammy. We were at home when mother saw a flicker out of the window.
It was the emperor's soldiers. And they were coming with torches.
My mother told us to run to the trap door and run into the cellar. We did.
About 5 minutes later, we heard a gun, a thud, and the slam of the door.
When Cammy and I got out, we saw mother on the floor.
She was dead.
Just then, dad came rushing into the house, and saw mother. He stood still for a minute, then saw the couch.
It was burning.
W all rushed out of the house, and I was screaming to dad about why we couldn't take mom. He didn't answer.
Finally, he turned around without us, leaving us at a safe point, to go get mom's body. When he turned around, the entire house was engulfed in flames.
He couldn't go back.
We camped out in the woods that night, and when everyone else was asleep, I went back to the house.
It was all rubble. Everything was burnt.
Except mom's body.
I stared, then started crying and ran back to camp.
Next day, dad had to go back to war.
So he sent Cammy and I to the orphanage.
The ladies there treated us like donkeys. I couldn't see cammy, I was hungry, and I wanted Mom.
So, after a year, Cammy and I escaped.
We started running out the door, then the head lady came out, and chased us.
WE ran all the way to the train station, and Cammy and i got separated in the crowd.
I thought she'd make it to the train, so I got on.
I went to the very back and looked out the window.
On the back of the other train, a face stared strait at me.
It was Cammy.
She screamed my name, then both trains started moving.
IN opposite directions.
I haven't seen her since.
