The brothers of "Twins" from Confessions of a faithful woman.

Twins
He looked around frightened, briefly unaware of his surroundings. He then looked up at the statuesque pair of beautiful creatures and began to remember. He closed his eyes and his mind began to replay the events. As his body relived every sensuous moment, it contorted violently with the rushing waves of vibrations. He licked his lips and could still taste the tang of their juices. He could feel the contractions in his groin as he remembered how they took turns experiencing the flicking of his tongue and the hardness of his manhood simultaneously. . He felt the lightening in his body a mix of intoxicating and painful pleasure, their nails tore through his skin over and over again….his wrist, his legs, his chest….his….
He opened his eyes, which summoned them to take him again. He would discover the sweet pleasure of pain.

The beast was growing tired of the banter. He swooped her up and flung her hard over his shoulder. She let out a grumble as her ribs hit against his muscles. He was strong. He could tell she was not the same. She moaned as he moved through the trees. Something inside beckoned him to comfort her. He stopped near the tallest tree and laid her down. “I cannot take you home like this, allow me to heal you.” His deep powerful voice sent vibrations through her body. She had no strength to argue so she agreed. Like she had once gathered materials for her sister, he now gathered them for her. He drained, mixed and nursed her back. His tail was larger than any other. “Why do you help?” She asked “For your sister, her love, her heart.” These words gave her comfort; and at the same time they broke her heart.

“Brother what have they done to you, no matter, we can fix it.” The halfling barely recognized his twin; “they have
tortured me, drained me, killed me and given me new life. I am no longer you.” He stood to reveal his new self. Part man part not. He was covered in fur, had canine teeth, claws instead of nails and blood red eyes. He thought his brother would be repulsed by his outer shell instead his brother showed compassion. “Since you cannot go back I will stay here with you. I will return home and say my goodbyes so no one will come looking for us.” The creature protested. “I have nothing back home brother; they have taken everything from me.”
You still have a wife to care for. She needs you, I do not.” Said the creature. The words did not even feel right coming from his lips.
“I have made my decision.” With that the brother left trekking down the rock face trying to find his way home.  The sisters appeared. The youngest furious with the thought of sharing her sister again began to give chase. Her sister called to her “what if it were we love, above and beyond if he has companion we can spend more time like we were.” The younger left. She followed him closely giving him clues and silently helping him until he was in a familiar place. She then waited one week feeding upon small animals until his return. She stopped him is his path. “Why do you not just receive him home amid you? You all are not complete to endure with us. We will assist you with returning him home.” “They will never accept him.” He injected.
“We will never accept you.” She hissed
“Yes, but you are not vile like those where I come from; humans can be very destructive and raw. They will kill him for sure.” He pleaded.
“We will kill you also.” Ba assured him “I would rather die with you than live without him.”

As I mentioned in the first post about “Twins” which explored Sa and Ba more:

“This is one of the few stories which will be in each book of the series because there is so much to share about each of the characters…“Twins” is what happens after the younger brother was subdued by her (them).   When I began writing this story it was from the perspective of the man whom they had captured (There is an entire back story as to how he ended up in their cave which will be in the next book); it was his experience first discovering her which turned out to be them. As I wrote from his perspective I began to understand “The twins” more. I had to immerse myself in their perspective in order to explain what it was like for him.”

As I wrote this story I let it take me where it wanted to go.  As Sa and Ba began to separate there was a need to expand on how much of a “rare type” this brother actually was. In addressing the Male twins I sought out questions from readers and this post will respond to those questions

What are the brother’s names?
Their names have not yet been revealed because they are becoming.  What I mean is that they are in transition from who they were in human form to who they are becoming in their new form.  As they transition their former names don’t fully fit them and they have not claimed their new names.  By Afrikan perspective (and yes I will always go back to this) you name describes who you are, your work in life and attributes about you.  Those things are in flux for the brothers at the time of these stories.

Why did you make them twins?
In many societies twins are worshipped and honored.  Since twins are considered to be 1 soul that is too big for just 1 body; they are often considered a blessing and a sign of good fortune.  In addition twins are psychically connected, often have their own language and operate with a connection and unity that many can not understand.  With all that in mind for this story embodying the depth and strength of character as well as their differentiations it was natural that they be twins or soul sharers (as I like to call them).  Their twinning also represents the phases of their evolution.

Do you feel that it was important to show that the male twins had the same emotional connection as the sisters?
No, not necessarily. For all of them the connection was within their spirit not their emotions.  Their spiritual connections caused emotional reactions but it was a celestial connection that welded them together.  The brothers bond was slightly different because the brothers started out as human and spent some time apart while one had been transformed and the other remained human.  The brothers had an existence, before they came across the sisters, which was terrestrial as well as celestial. The “older” brother coming to look for his twin had more to do with his draw to the younger sister than for his brother which is why he does not appear until the 3rd story.
 
Do you feel that the twins show the struggle that most people have with personal views and societal judgment?
In later stories they will. In this set of stories they don’t. As of now they lived in a time that did not have all the limited views of today.  The more ancient spiritual, cultural and sexual practices were still very prevalent.
 
At different points it seems as if there is something more between the younger sister and the first brother although they are at odds, is that the case?
If you remember it was the younger that initially shopped her sister from killing him and nursed him back to health.  He is the catalyst for her change as well as the foreshadowing of her relationship with his brother. Because Sa and Ba are 1 the younger loves him as much as her counterpart and he is connected to her because of his connection to her counterpart.  As you will see in his writings to his brother he describes her with such beauty, love and grace.  He in enamored by her.

Will their life be explored in more detail latter?
Yes.  In the next book the back story of the brothers will be told as well as the story of the 4 of them meeting in modern times.  The brothers were human and lived as such for many years before coming across Sa and Ba.
