Alessio scowls, as he looks up at the academy.  All he sees, when he looks at it, is his mother's pain.  The reason why his mother died... Of a broken heart because of his father.  Because of the father that abandoned him and his sister to a life on the streets at such a young age.  Gritting his teeth in anger, Alessio looks at Aria, and his glare softens.  He grabs her hand, and squeezes it gently.  [color=f9ad81]"We'll be fine,"[/color] he murmurs, his voice thick with an Italian accent.  [color=f9ad81]"We're strong."[/color]

Aria looks at her big brother, the older twin.  [color=c4df9b]"I know, Alessio,"[/color] she whispers, her eyes bright.  [color=c4df9b]"They're just like us, so try to be nice."[/color]  Alessio snarls in anger.

[color=f9ad81]"They're nothing like us!  I bet they're pampered brats."[/color]  Alessio looks so angry, Aria tightens her hold.

[color=c4df9b]"You don't know that.  Remember, Alessio, we only need each other.  If they are like what you say, then we don't bother with them.  It's the two of us against the world, Alessio.  We will stay on top.  We grew up in the Mafia, Alessio.  We have skills.  We use them to our advantage if we need.  Surprise them if they think we're easy and weak."[/color] Aria murmurs in his ear to calm him down.

[color=f9ad81]"No boys are allowed near you, little sister.  Together forever, remember?"[/color]  Aria nods.  [color=f9ad81]"I will protect you with my life if I have to."[/color]

[color=c4df9b]"And I will protect you with mine.  We share our father's powers.  Yes, it is split in half because we are twins, but we will survive.  We always survive."[/color]

Together, they enter the grounds, hand in hand, alert, and stiff.  Aria partially shifts into her cheetah form, her ears forming through her hair, her eyes sharpening, and her nose picking up more scents.  She listens to everything around her, willing to protect Alessio if she needed.  She knew he had her back, just as she had his, but she's also a little scared.  She hates new places, and she doesn't want to be apart from Alessio.

Their whole life, they shared everything.  They slept together, fought together, ate together.  They were rarely seen apart, and she didn't want it to stop here and now.  They were the perfect team together, both with the brains and the brawn to be deadly twice over.
