Any Way The Wind Blows

Not long after Alena's resurrection, she and her sister Eliska get into a huge fight. The girls carry on the fight for a few days, bringing up the past and blaming each other for every hardship. Finally, one event changes their lives forever and forces the girls to find out how strong they are, all on their own.

Crapload of OC/OC, again <3333

Uhh, yeah, there's a gay character but that means no offence to gay people. Besides, there's nothing extreme that happens, he's just gay.

Chapter One, Alena
It was a warm day that everyone was enjoying. It was one of the few that winter-time gave. Soon, it was going to be Alena and her sister's birthday. She never looked forward to it. Not only did a lot of people forget the date, but most people always bought them a gift to 'share'. The twins had never been close so of course they would always fight about it. The year that the both of them had hated most was when they'd gotten a laptop to share. They'd always argue over who's turn it was to use it, blame the other for hacking, or blame the other for changing their password. It had finally gotten so bad, their parents had gone to buy another laptop.

Alena sat on her bed, reading. She spent most of her time doing so. It was a way to pass the time without snapping at Eliska. It calmed her, too, which was always a good thing. She was currently rereading a children's book that she was quite fond of. Every Soul A Star. It always made her feel all warm and fuzzly inside and peaked her interest in astronomy. Alena smiled at Ally's passion for the stars. (A/N:: Every Soul A Star -- Wendy Mass. Incredible book, I totally recommend it. Ally is the main character.)

Eliska walked into the cabin, sitting on the closest unclaimed bunk. She was twirling her hair vigorously. Obviously, she was nervous or bored. Alena rolled her eyes and got back to the book. She didn't care about her sister's problems, unless, of course, they involved her. Within the time-span of an hour, Eliska had picked up her iPod and started to listen to it at high volumes. Alena had ordered her younger sister to turn it down, which she had done. However, the younger twin crossed the line when she started to sing along.

Now, Alena wouldn't mind her sister singing. But, of course, Eliska was a terrible singer, tone-deaf and horrible. She couldn't hit an F if her life depended on it. Paired with being having a voice of sandpaper, Eliska had chosen a song Alena didn't fancy. It was a Lady Gaga song, one that she forgot the name of. It was horrible for a voice like her sister's, having too many notes. Alena preferred something nice, like Gipsy.cz or The Beatles with Queen thrown in a few times. (A/N:: I have nothing against Lady Gaga.)

"Shut. Up!" Alena demanded, gritting her teeth. "You sound like a moose in heat!"

"Make me," Eliska flashed her sister a devilish grin, showing off her super-white teeth.

"Must I list all the reasons that you should keep your mouth shut?"

"I wanna roll with him a hard we will be. A little gambling is fun with your with me. Russian Roulette is not the without a gun. And baby when it's love, if it's not rough it isn't fun!"

"Shut up! That's a horrible song, artist, and your voice sounds like sandpaper on cement!"

"Well, your taste in music isn't much better! I mean, Gipsy.cz? They're horrible, hardly anyone knows them. They're some crap rap."

"Hey, at least I don't listen to thinks that make people's ears bleed. And at least all my favourite artists have a confirmed gender." Alena gave her sister a cocky look.

Eliska's face turned red. She threw her iPod onto the empty bunk in a fit of anger. Both the twins stood, prepared for a full-out argument. They'd had many in their lifetime, never getting along well as most twins were depicted to be. They were a pair of sisters. Never close, always fighting, and wishing people wouldn't point out how much they looked alike.

"That is it!" Eliska exclaimed. "What the hell, Alena?"

"Whaddaya mean what the hell? I'm just speaking the truth." Alena was getting cocky.

Eliska stepped up to her sister's bed and took her book. She ripped it in half. Alena hit her sister in the face, which Eliska returned. The former gave a kick, aiming it for the shin. The smaller twin, in return, slapped her sister. Alena reached and shoved her sister, shouting at her in Czech. Eliska stumbled backwards and tripped, hitting her head on the floorboards.

"Ow! You"- Eliska was interrupted by the door swinging open with a creak.

Damen and Jude walked in, raised their eyebrows and closed the door behind them. "What's going on here?" Damen asked slowly, eyebrows knitting together.

"Her!" Both twins shouted in unison, pointing at the other.

"Sibling fight, leave 'em alone to cool." Jude whispered to his half-brother.

The boys nodded and grabbed things from their bags. They told the girls it was nearly time for dinner and that the horn would be blown in any second. As it did, Alena glared at her twin and muttered under her breath "you owe me a new book". The Hecate cabin headed to the dining pavilion for dinner, Eliska and Alena staying far apart on their way. During dinner, they stayed as far apart from each other as possible, tossing dirty looks to one another each time their eyes met.

After dinner, Alena went to cool down and get rid of her excess anger by the lake. Even though she was deathly afraid of water, she liked to be near it. There was always something calming about it. She stared at the water and slipped her iPod out of her pocket. She slipped her earbuds into her ears and turned up the sound. The first song that came on was Eleanor Rigby, one of the first Beatles songs that Alena listened to.

In a rush of nostalgia, Alena took herself back to the time that she first listened to it. She'd been thirteen and with her best friend at the time, Aneta. They were great friends, bored and sitting around Youtube, searching things up. At the time, Aneta's favourite band was the Beatles and Alena's was Chinaski, a popular rock band. The girls were exchanging favourite songs. Once in a while, they would listen to a random song and laugh.

"Here's a good one," Aneta had said, clicking on the Eleanor Rigby video. They listened to it. Alena complimented it a few times.

Coming back to the present, Alena laughed. She missed Aneta, in some way. The two had gotten in a huge fight the next year and gone their separate ways, choosing to split peacefully and leave it at that. Aneta, in the time that they weren't friends, changed drastically. She'd become one of the 'popular' girls. Of course, Aneta had then taken it upon herself to make fun of Eliska. That part wouldn't have disturbed Alena as much as it had unless they'd never been friends.

In the middle of the short blonde girl's thoughts, someone came up behind her and shoved her into the water.
