The Blogger

He grinned wider when the two walked away from the alleyway and Nora further expressed her unaffected opinion on her brother, his head cocked to the side in mild interest before he bit his lower lip and narrowed his eyes, “No,” Will laughed, “Thank you for not treating me like I’m insane – you’d be surprised by how many people would.” Moving towards the diner, he held open the door for Nora and followed her inside, looking around before sliding into the nearest booth and shrugging out of his backpack, opening it and pulling out his sketch book, handing it over to his sister as he waved over a waitress.

“As spoken like one of the greats, we’re all a little mad here. It’s nice seeing I’m not alone.” Nora nodded her head in gratitude as she entered the diner and sat along the bench opposite Will. Taking the sketch pad from the man, she opened the cover and silently gasped as her eyes met that of his dark drawings. “Wow, these are really good. The attention to detail is spectacular.” Nora grinned widely, thumbing through a few more of the pages until one landed on a drawing of a young woman. The hair, the face, a memory stirred in her mind and she suddenly realized it was Jacqueline Montgomery. What someone may feel as horror, she saw as tremendously brilliant. “Will, I should ask you something.” Her gaze lifted to rest on Will’s features as Nora lowered her voice, “Do you have...fantasies? You know, about causing someone harm or, or killing? This isn’t just an appreciation for art.”

He laughed, it was almost maniacal the way he did, like the laugh a crazy person offers before they do something irrational, which was a lot like Will, deep on the inside. His head cocked to the side and he lifted his hand, offering it to Nora, “I’m really glad you exist,” He murmured, a flicker of darkness in his eyes, “And you have no idea. Come on, I’ll show you.” Of course, there were certain things he couldn’t and wouldn’t share, not even with his twin, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t give her some insight, so his comics would do for now. “I could really use a burger,” He murmured, wrapping his arm around her shoulders before glancing over his shoulder back to the guy he had threatened who had stiffened the minute his eyes met Will’s, “Fuck off.” He grunted before turning his attention back to his sister, “Thanks, Nora.”

Logic would have told her to turn around and run as far as possible, but instinct told her to stay where she was. Reaching out a hand and taking Will’s in her own, she applied a small squeeze before placing her hand back at her side. “Trust me, I’m becoming gladder by the moment.” Nora always saw herself as a closest freak of the family what with the blog she kept updated. While most women her age obsessed over beauty as gurus, her interests lay with more sinister things. “Thank god. I’m starving...and we have a lot to talk about.” The woman slowly smiled as Will pulled her in close, forgetting the other man’s existence as she and her brother exited the alleyway. “You’re thanking me for stopping you from straight up murdering a guy? Aw, how sweet.”

He stiffened when he heard her voice, his eyes narrowing as he turned his head around and faced his sister who didn’t seem all that surprised by the change in his behaviour, in fact, she seemed completely unphased and her words definitely surprised him. Will dropped his hands and looked her over, confusion sweeping over his expression, “Nora, what – at least in a spot where I’ll clearly be seen?” His mind drifted and he found himself offering a sadistic chuckle paired with a shake of his head, “You don’t –” He couldn’t quite seem to find the words, she didn’t even seem to see a difference in his behaviour, or if she did, she didn’t care.

She should’ve been surprised or in the least bit scared by this brand new change in Will she never once believed he could be capable of having, but she wasn’t. “I was kind of half-joking, but something tells me you really would’ve done something very rash.” Nora glanced from the man Will was threatening to Will himself, shrugging. “There’s two sides to every person, Will, and call it a twin’s instinct or not, but I could tell you’re into the dark and unusual like I am. This isn’t that shocking. A little...exciting is what I’ll admit, yeah, just not unexpected.”

“What do you take me for, huh? Do you really think you can screw me over? Me? Did you forget what I did to the last guy that tried to get in the way? ‘Cause I’d be more than fucking happy to remind you.”

Nora folded her arms across her chest, watching the scene between her brother and a stranger unfold from a safe distance. The Will she saw threatening someone else wasn’t the one who held a shy disposition. Not that she was in any way to fully know him. “Alright, Rocky, we don’t need to stain the ground with an unnecessary mess. At least in a spot where you’ll be clearly seen.” Stepping closer to the two men, she gave Will a stern look. “It’s not worth it.”

He nodded his head before hanging it low, unable to look her in the eyes before letting out a deep sigh, “I was wrong – to pile that on you when you were in hospital, I just… I needed to feel like I wasn’t crazy and that was pretty selfish of me, I’m sorry, Nora.”

Nora slowly lifted her gaze and attempted to unsuccessfully lock it with that of Will’s. “I don’t see it as selfish. There wasn’t ever really going to be the right time to spill it, Will, you have to understand that.” The woman admitted honestly. “And I thought I was the crazy one for feeling that odd connection.”

He blinked a few times, flinching slightly when the girl spoke of her parents before licking his lower lip and nodded his head. Honestly, Will was surprised that she was so willing to accept him and for a second he just blinked, staring at her before letting out a choked sort of noise, “R-really?”

“I know how silly and soap opera-y it is where I magically accept the secret twin brother I never knew I had, but you’re dealing with this too.” Nora glanced to the floor, shrugging her shoulders sheepishly. “Not that I’m saying it’s not crazy and fucked up, it is, I’ll just put that aside for right now.”

He stiffened when he heard Nora’s voice, he’d pretty much been avoiding her after his confession, he didn’t want to push their relationship, he wanted to give her space, but here she was. Will turned on his heel, looked her over and smiled, “You’re looking better,” He murmured before rubbing the back of his neck, “Sure, yeah – definitely, um…” He picked up the towel, wiped over his forehead and gestured towards the seats, “I’m uh –” Will cut himself off, “Go ahead.”

Nora took the time she needed processing the personal information thrown at her and was aware of how much it could change the familiar relationships she had. She knew it wasn’t easy for herself or Will and the young woman felt grateful for his consideration. “That’s thanks to you, of course.” Nora’s gaze drifted to her hands as she moved further into the room, opting to take a seat. “I’ve been thinking about what you told me, replaying that conversation over and over again in my head until it just became shouting. And when I managed to confront my dad, our dad,” She was quick to correct herself, “we got into a bit of a row. I was so angry at him for lying and then it made me realize I don’t want to waste my time living that way when I have a brother who coped with it longer than I have. My point is, Will, not much can make up for over twenty years we should’ve been spending at the other’s side, but we could try. I want that if you do.”

“You speak these words as if I didn’t already know them.” Lana giggles softly, before nodding her head. “Best to just let my mind run away with itself. That way it’ll be a surprise to us both.” She teased before clenching her jaw slightly. “Are you sure? Or are you just saying all of that to save face?” She questioned with an arched brow. “I don’t mind having to play the big little sister role for a bit.”

Nora hummed thoughtfully for a moment and then nodded in agreement. “That’s the way the best of our creativity flows is by letting it run absolutely wild.” She wished the joking atmosphere wouldn’t lasted, considering the look on Lana’s face distressed Nora. “Yes, I’m fine, I swear. As much as that is appreciated, I don’t need to be coddled.” The woman pressed her lips together, Lana’s bit sister comment causing her to remember what Will revealed at the hospital. Perhaps, she should keep it a secret for a while longer.

“Beating out your frustrations, I see.” Nora leaned against the door frame, relieved that she no longer needed the crutches. Most took walking for granted sometimes. “Do you have a moment, Will? I think we should talk.”

He almost regretted saying it when she responded, his head fell and he looked at his feet as the news sunk in, his lips thinning into a tight line before he glanced back up when she seemed to calm a little. With his expression softening into one of sympathy, he wasn’t too sure how to deliver that news in any other way. “Sorry,” He mumbled quietly, pushing a hand through his hair before letting his hand rest on the back of his neck, “Couple weeks, I told you – I didn’t know how to bring it up.”

“Oh, Will, you don’t have to be apologizing for anything.” Nora furrowed her brows, giving the man a most sympathetic expression. She understood how hard it must have been for Will to discover this bit of news and knew he went through the same thing she was right now. “It’s my dad who should be saying sorry for not telling me the truth instead of giving you that weight on your shoulders.” She sighed before lifting a smile, “It isn’t so bad, though, knowing I have a brother. Still a lot to take in, yeah, but...I’m willing to give it a try.”

He grinned widely and nodded his head, “I knew it,” Josh joked, flashing her a wink as he once again fell into the seat, “S’what I keep telling people, nice to be believed,” He persisted to tease, raising his cup in a cheers motion before offering Nora a soft chuckle, “How’s the blog?”

“I was hoping you would.” Nora’s fingers lightly tapped the plastic lid on the cup in amusement, watching the young man take a seat once again. As Josh raised his coffee, she did the same as well. “It’s going well. I haven’t been able to update since being here, but I plan to give a full report as soon as I get home. I may even give you a shoutout.”

“Well I mean having your foot in a bear trap sounds hella cool…I mean it’d hurt like a bitch but imagine telling your grandkids…” she said. “Well finally someone who doesn’t make me wanna pull my hair out-” she let out a small laugh, -”what do you think happened?”

“Believe me, the awesome stories I could tell weren’t what I was thinking about during that time.” It was the most pain Nora experienced in her entire life and she was more focused on it than how awesome it was. “I think someone was inspired by the stories and decided to make one of their own. They’re sociopaths who take pleasure in someone else’s pain.”

“You sure?” Rosa frowned, looking her over, “Honestly, these things kill my arms and I hate them so much, I think I’d prefer a wheelchair, but hey, I’m just lazy.”

“I’m sure. Thank you, though.” Nora offered a smile and nodded understandingly. “A wheelchair might be too much of a hassle for me. I just need these for a week or two at the most and then I can walk again.”

Dillon raised her brows when the girl’s stomach rumbled and gave her a soft smile, her lips parting ready to answer when the girl’s father knocked lightly on the door and stepped inside, take out from the local diner in hand, “Saved by the knock,” Dillon teased, giving her a warm smile, “Just press that little buzzer if you need anything else.”

The wafting scent of greasy fries and a cheeseburger tickled her nose and made her stomach growl in satisfaction as soon as her father entered the room. “God, that smells so good.” Humming lightly, Nora glanced in Dillon’s direction. “Thank you very much for your help, I definitely appreciate it.”

“I wouldn’t know how to feel about it either. I don’t know what’d I do if I was in your situation.”

I mean, I hate to sound cliche, but it’s turned my world completely upside down.

Clark blinked, “You have a twin brother and that twin brother happens to be Will?”

“Exactly my reaction.” The woman released a puff of air. “After Will had rescued me, he popped by for a visit and the rest was kind of history. I don’t know how to feel about it.”
