Male twins, orphans with no relatives to depend on, and poor.
They were raised in an orphanage till they completed there middle school studies, then the older twin, julian,decided to apply for a job in order to leave this orphanage along with his brother aaron and gain freedom..
And so he did.. Two part time jobs, one in a library and the other in a cafe..
It was not a greatly paid job, but he was able to rent an apartment for himself and his brother, also the salary was enough to cover the food expenses
Though it was only two meals, and mainly consisting of veggies most of the time, but eating together was enough to make them satisfied
The older twin julian wished for his brother to continue studying..
to get a degree and have a good and well paid job.
Aaron wanted so bad to help his brother but the latter was refusing all the time..
"Concentrate on studying so you can get a fine job"
Thats what he's always telling him
After a year, One of Julian's coworkers confessed to him, and in spite of knowing that he is poor, she didn't mind dating and falling for him
They were at the same age
around 17
They were deeply in love and dated for several months, until the girl got pregnant..
Even though he is still not ready to support a new family, julian decided to take responsibility and propose to his girlfriend..
A small ceremony, in the cafe were they both work, attended by their coworkers, friends, and family
And for julian, that family was his twin brother aaron
After this, julian searched for a bigger apartment, and was searching for another job to be able to support his growing family, but his brother stood and said "it's my turn now to help you brother, I'm at my final grade in high school, I have much spare time every day, and I'm doing well in my studies, It's me who should search for a job now, not you"
Aaron searched and applied for many places to work at as a part timer, but unfortunately, he had no luck at all
Every place he went to declined him
And when ever his brother asks him about his search, he simply lies and say "I got accepted, but the first payment is after two months"
He lied because he didn't want his brother to worry more
One day, a class mate who knows about aaron's familial issues told him "I heard of a very well paid part time job, but it is THAT kind of job, if you know what I mean"
"THAT kind?" Aaron asked with uncertainty
"Come on, you are a man. Even if you do it, it wont affect you, you just have to not be found, so give a random name or a phantom residency to the owner"
After hearing his classmate words, and after a deep thinking, he decided to go to that place and ask about the salary
Depending on the amount he will consider whether to take the risk or not
"Your body will be checked, according to it value you will be paid"
Those words made him shiver, but if it were all for his brother and his new family, he would do anything to support them
He had a nice body features with a beautiful young face..
He got a costumer from the very first day..
The first was a man, the obsessive type
A head sector in a well known company
That guy knew that it was aaron's first time, so he treated him gently, But aaron hated it
He felt sick, but he decided to continue for only one week
Since he is getting paid for each costumer he sleeps with
In one week he will have a great payment that will be of great help
That week finally passed, he bought a present for his unborn
nephew, and gave the rest of the money to his brother julian
His body was suffering, And ha was in great pain. But he endured it all, because he is a man..
Because it's for the sake of having a family..
So..
When aaron gave the rest of the money to his brother, he was questioned about the big amount, but he smiled and answered "it is because I was a very talented and a unique part timer"
Several weeks had past, Aaron finally got a job, julian's son will be born in 2 months from now.. They were living soundly, the three of them, until THAT night..
the night when julian was buying grocery from a market where his brother had a day shift earlier, the casher mixed between the twin brothers and thought that the man standing in front of him is aaron
"You forgot your jacket today, here" said by the casher
"Oh, it's aaron's, you mixed us together, I will give it to him when I reach home" Said julian
He left the market and walked steady, the time was night and the breeze of the autumn end is kinda cold
The clouds were gathered as if it was going to rain..
He shivered and wore his brother's jacket then whispered "gotta hurry back home"
At that moment, Someone griped his shoulder tightly from behind and said "I finally found you, aaron"
Julian turned at him and said "I think you've got the wrong person sir, you.."
"Dont play games with me, I can recognize your face and the jacket you're wearing is the same one from our first time. Your phone is unreachable, your home is no where to be found, and now you pretend that you dont know me" the man shouted with anger
Julian was confused, what does this guy's words mean?
Why is he so full of anger?
Why is he searching for my brother?
He felt that this man intends are not good, so he decided to pretend being aaron for a while
"Ok fine, I am aaron, what is it that you want from me?" Said julian
"What is it you say..!" He shouted and gripped julian's neck pushing him backward into an alley
That man tightened his grip around julian's neck, while the latter was desperately resisting him
"If you have forgotten it all, I am willing to force you to remember.." That man shouted and then released julian's neck
He gripped his left arm and turned julian's body to make him face the alley's dirty wall..
Then he slided his hand on julian's back downwardly reaching his bottom.
"Stop it..!"
Julian shouted while resisting and kicking with his legs
"Just stop moving you F**king prat" The man shouted, then gripped julian's head and smashed his face into the wall three times until he was about to lose consciousness duo to the shock, fright, and pain..
He became powerless and unable to resist or shout for help any more, he only shed tears of suffer and shame while that man was getting his way with him..
Very forcefully and painfully, that man felt the joy and sighted "Ah, your's is the one I seek, so tight and hot.. I wanted to cherish you, but you made a fool of me, giving me false information about your self.. Making me go around the town searching for you.. It is all your doing, you deserve being treated like this and not gently as like our first time.."
He leaned toward julian's left ear and rascally whispered "congratulations, you have AIDs now.."
Then left the alley leaving julian there in great physiologic and psychologic pain, wearing his brother's shirt with no pants, and loosing consciousness..
That man was at his limits, on the edge of becoming insane,
He wondered across the town after being satisfied of what he did to "aaron"
Grinning and then lathing hysterically, until he saw him..
"Wait.. How come you recovered this quickly!"
Said that man
The one he's staring at right now is the real aaron.. When aaron saw him he remembered his night with him, shivered and felt a little bit sick, but he played as if it isn't bothering him seeing a previous bed costumer in front of him
"What recovery? What are you talking about?" Asked aaron
When that man took a closer look, he discovered that this aaron wears different clothes and his hair is longer
Then he remembered when the young man he met a while ago was denying being aaron..
Every thing now is clear for him
The man laughed hard and said "It seems that i've got my revenge on the wrong person.."
"What revenge? What are you babbling about?" Aaron wondered with hesitation
Then he took a glimpse of that man's appearance, it was as if he was in an aggressive fight, his clothes were a mess, blood and some other fluid stains on his clothes and hands, and his pants zipper was open till the middle..
His mind was frozen when he heard that man saying while laughing "I cant believe how lucky you are, That poor guy who looked just like you took it all instead of you"
"......."
Aaron couldn't replay or act while that man was leaving the area, he just stood there, trying to deny what he figured of that man's talk
"This can't be true.."
Said to him self, then ran across the city searching for his brother,
He came across the market where julian was earlier..
The cashier who is a co-worker of him told him that his twin brother came and that he gave his jacket to him
This talk just added the possibility of being what that man said earlier is true, thus making the stress aaron is feeling even greater..
"I am sure that he is home, with his wife, sitting at the table waiting for dinner.. I know that but I will search just to prove that."
After saying that, aaron continued searching, until he ran across a couple of grocery bags that belongs to the market where he works, the bags were thrown on the ground in front of a dark deep alley..
Still hopping not to find him there, he hurried toward that alley..
"That jacket.. No way!"
Said aaron with a shock
He hurried toward his unconscious brother.. With eyes full of tears
"Why did this happen? Why to him?"
Crying without a voice, palming himself and his foolishness
He carried his brother to the nearest hospital and stayed near him until he was asked by the nurses to go home and come back tomorrow, as no visitors are allowed past midnight..
He had to deliver the bad news for his brother's wife
He told his sister in law that he started a fight, and julian was caught up in the middle
She wanted to be near him but aaron told her to wait till tomorrow
In the next day, julian woke up at dawn..
he woke up and gripped the dress of the nurse who was standing beside him checking his medications
He looked at her and said "if I really do have AIDs, please don't let them know, my family.."
The nurse couldnt promise him any thing as this matter is left for the doctors and the social workers in the hospital, but she told him that they will try to delay the news for two or three days until his family gets ready for it..
In the same day, aaron visited his brother leaving his sister in law at home, he was under close supervision from the nurse to prevent any possible chance of getting infected from his bro..
And while he was standing holding his left arm, and gazing to the floor with sorrowful eyes, julian wondered in low tone "since when?"
"Since when you've been doing this?" Julian shouted
Aaron wasnt able to reply, which increased his brother's anger to shout on him again, asking the same question and hitting his covered legs with both fists forcefully..
"Im really sorry brother, please forgive me.. I did it for a short time, it was the fastest way to earn good money. I just wanted to help you..
It was only for 1 week, then I stopped." Said aaron while crying
Julian wanted to shout more, but the nurse calmed him down and asked aaron to get out from the room,
He walked slowly while looking at the foggy ground, and before reaching the room's door, julian asked him whether he did a test for HIV or not..
"Yes I did, it was negative that time" aaron answered then left the room
While julian felt a sharp stabbing pain in his chest..
"Why I got it and he didn't?" Julian wondered in a whim, and after realizing his own thoughts, he cried
The days passed, and the news about julian having Aids reached his brother and wife, it was a shock for them both..
Aaron blamed him self more and more, and told his sister in law to return for her relatives until julian's medical and mental status stabilize..
She refused but then was forced by the medical team, then julian was discharged from hospital to go back home with his brother
Julian's mind also was affected
From the shock of what happened to him, and knowing that his brother was doing the same thing every night for a week
He started counting "how many meals I ate was cooked by him? how many times he touched me with those hands?"
The way he used to look at his brother has changed..
He refused every meal and every touch..
"His hands touched many filthy places, his body is stained with dirt, his voice while he was in lust, how was its tone? What expression he wears while being in pain?" Julian gasped and widely opened his eyes after realizing it..
"Why am I having these thoughts? Why I want to see him in that situation?....... Its all his fault, all because of him"
Julian looked with great anger at his brother who was preparing a meal for his older twin, hopping that this time he will at least have a spoon from it..
He stayed still till aaron has finished, and also gazed at him when he placed the dishes in front of him..
And when he tried to feed him, julian slapped Aaron's hand away and yelled at him "stop this, I don't want your sympathy.."
Julian continued while aaron was paused by his words "if you are seeking forgiveness I am not forgiving you, you will always be the one in blame, you will always be the one who destroyed my happiness"
"Beat me if you want, kill me, do anything you want with me, but please forgive me brother.." Aaron shouted while crying
julian whispered "any thing I want you say?"
Then he gripped his brother's shoulders and pushed him backward to make him lie on his back..
"Do you know what kind of disgusting thoughts that filled my mind for days now?" Said julian with a pained smile, then he downed his head toward his brother's leaving a distance of one centimeter between their lips..
He paused in that situation for ten seconds, then he lowered his head even more placing it above aaron's right shoulder, hugged him tight and whispered with a throttled voice "wanna join me in a double suicide?"
Aaron was shocked, and then wraped every thing after few seconds..
He hugged back his brother and said "if that's what you want.. I will join you even if it were to hell"
In this day, they left the house without leaving any hint about what they are going to comment.
They reached a cliff that is on the sea side by the after noon.. Both of them stood near the edge, facing the deep blue water that hundreds of meters down, and holding hands..
Julian felt the shakiness of aaron's right hand, so he tightened his grip on it..
"let's have a good bye hug, brother" said julian in a calm voice, while aaron only nodded with his head..
They faced each other then hugged tight for few seconds, after that Julian slided his hands on his twin arms reaching his hands, he gripped them tight then asked aaron to close his eyes..
"I closed my eyes while my body was shaking, i felt that the end is near, and I am soon to be judged upon my acts and doings.. I felt it when he left one of my hands and gripped the other very hard, and then in a glimpse, I was thrown away by him on the hard rocky ground..
Soon, I opened my eyes to see him standing at the edge of that cliff, facing me while giving his back to the see..
He moved his lips and said something I barely was able to hear.. "Take care of our family for me, dear brother aaron"
Then he threw himself backwardly, surrendering to the waves of the deep sea.."
Aaron was trying to get up, to hurry and catch his brother, but the throw was so hard, and the pain slowed him down..
And when he reached the edge of the cliff and looked down, there was no sight for julian..
"It was as if the world around me is falling apart. I didn't care for his last words.
All this happened because of my foolishness, his suffer and death, his future that have been lost, his smile that was smashed forcefully..
How am I suppose to live when I am the one who was supposed to die..
It's all because I have the same face as yours..
Sorry brother, I am not willing to live, neither I am worthy of joining you in the afterlife.. That's why I'm gonna jump and pray, that hell shall be my permanent detain." Said aaron with a crying voice, then he jumped with both eyes closed..

"Am I dead?! I feel that my body is floating in the space.." Aaron Wondered and then opened his eyes..
He was still in the air, paused in his place..
"What's this?!"
He wondered again while looking at the sky, the birds that stopped flying, the sea that stopped moving, and the sudden deadly silence..
Every thing then started to turn into stone..
He was frightened, and still is stuck in the middle of the air..
Gradually, his fingers started to turn into stone, and he felt a great pain in his chest, it was as if his heart is becoming as hard as a rock..
"A Nightmare, every thing that had happen is a nightmare.. Please, somebody, wake me up, it is becoming hard to breath.." Aaron shouted with pain
Suddenly, a black haired demon with a damaged wing appeared behind aaron, he gripped him and pushed a small black ball into his mouth, but because the latter was frightened and struggling, he spitted it out..
The demon shouted with anger "stop moving you lowlife and swallow it already"
Then he put a similar ball into his mouth and held aaron by his arms, tightened his grip on his left arm and leg, and then forced him to swallow that thing by pushing it deep inside his mouth through a kiss..
With that, aaron swallowed that ball, calmed down after few seconds to fall into a deep sleep, and his body has turned back to normal..
"I hate admitting it, but you are my only hope to reverse all that happened to him" the black haired demon whispered while gazing at aaron with hatred, then he disappeared from the sky, taking aaron with him to somewhere else..
In an instant, they arrived to a dark place where the day light never penetrates, and is lightened with purple and blue flames..
"Is he 'the' sacrifice?" Asked a brown haired demon who was sitting on a rock in the darkest spot of that cave.
"Yes.", the black haired demon answered, then threw aaron on the ground roughly..
"Hey, treat him well, will ya'?", the brown haired demon said while standing up, then he walked toward Aaron and checked his body..
"All that is left for us is him to wake up..", the brown haired demon said to the other demon who was walking away toward the entrance, then asked him wondering "where are you going?!..."
"Just call for me when he wakes up." the black haired demon answered while walking.
When he left that dark place, the brown haired demon grinned and said with irony "going to see HIM, Eae."
Far from that place in a world where life has stopped, deep in the sea that has turned into stone..
Eae, the black haired demon, was floating there in front of HIM.. Gazing at julian with eyes full of sorrow..
"Though I decided to be your gurdian, I couldn't save you..
Those tears you shed while falling down to the sea, your shout that was heard by only me..
Aaron will pay for all of it, you should live and he should die..
I'm gonna make sure to change your destiny, to the better"
"Eae, come back. The boy is awake." Said the brown haired demon inside Eae's mind..
In that moment, Eae grinned and instantly transmitted himself to that cave
He appeared exactly in front of the shivering aaron who was wondering about his surrounding and also about what happened before..
"Where am I? What is this place, where is my brother?" Aaron wondered while looking around, then he looked up at the black haired demon who appeared in front of him suddenly and asked with a shivering voice "who are you?"
Eae gripped aaron's hair and pushed his fece down telling him not to see him with the SAME eyes..
"Eae..!" The brown haired demon shouted with anger, and hurried toward them but was stopped by Eae when he shouted back "stay out of it, Sraosha"
"How can I stay out of it while l'm already involved? I've even became a fallen with you" shouted Sraosha, the brown haired demon, and gripped Eae's hands to pull them away from aaron's head..
He sat in front of aaron and tapped on his shoulders to calm him down, but the latter gasped and shivered more, he was afraid and lost.
Doesn't even know what is real, it was all like a bad dream for him, or rather a nightmare..
Eae stood back and was annoyed, he was looking at aaron with a death gaze, and his chest was burning with hatred toward him..
"Fine, just deal with him by yourself" said Eae..
"That's what i'm going to do, I'm afraid that you might kill him, and then every thing we sacrificed would be for nothing." Said Sraosha with a sharp tone without looking at Eae..
After some time, the brown haired demon managed to calm aaron down, and also explained for him the current situation and that what happened between him and his brother before was real, and that they need aaron to save julian's life..
"Why? Julian wanted to die." Said aaron with a low tone while gazing at the ground..
As soon as hearing that, Eae hurried toward aaron and gripped his shirt collar to raise him up, then shouted with outrage "wanted to die you say?!! Have you even noticed how much he anticipated the birth of his child, watching him growing older, anticipating the far future with joy.. And you say that HE wanted to die!"
Aaron shouted back "yes, he decided to end his suffer, so he jumped calmly and left me to contrite with guilt on that cliff.."
"Tsk.." Eae grinned his teeth with a great wrath, then he transmitted him self along with aaron instantly to the deep sea, where julian's body exist..
Eae left aaron's shirt collar and said with a sharp tone "look at him and tell me, is he enjoying being drown to death? Is he happy?"
"No word can describe what I'm feeling right now, this view of him is breaking down my heart into million pieces, and every piece is pierced with a million needle..
I kneeled with no power to stand, cried till my tears dried, and yelled till my throat got numb and my voice vanished..
Forgive me, forgive me.. That's all what I kept repeating in my mind.."
Meanwhile, the whole world vibrated for a second, and the black haired demon noticed a crack on julian's face..
He said with fear "we are running out of time.."
He gripped aaron's arm and went back to that cave to deliver the bad news to the other demon..
"Sraosha, the world will fall apart, hurry and open the path that's leading to the time throne.." Said Eae
"Ok.." Sraosha replayed, then he held his wand, pointed it to the front and moved it in a circular way while whispering some words in an unknown language..
After a while only a tiny dot of light appeared in the space before him..
"Why it is taking you so much time?" asked Eae with concern.
Sraosha answered "not only time, but also effort.. I've became a fallen you know, I'm no longer the angel who's ruling that throne."
He kept silent for a while and then murmured with annoyance "oh great, we have company..”
"Shit, they found us." Eae said with bother, then continued "i'm going to hold them back till you open the path, keep him near to you."
After saying that, Eae went to check on the group of demons that interred the cave..
They were more than twenty, full of hatred toward him..
"Well well, look who's come to fight us, the angel who thwarts demons.. Oh sorry, I mean the fallen angel who sat all the world in still because of his beloved human." Said by one of the demons with irony..
"Is that all what you want to say?" Said Eae.
"No, We still have one more thing to tell you." The demon said. Then all of his crew shouted "we're going to KILL you."
They attacked him at once with all their might, as for him, the situation was the same as Sraosha.. His powers were decreased as he is no longer the angel who thwarts demons, he've become a demon himself, the creature he hated most..
The noises of Eae's fight reached deep in the cave, where Sraosha and aaron stayed..
The brown haired demon was still in the process of opening the bath to the time throne, as for the distressed human, he was still kneeling on the floor, and his brother's struggling image was still in his mind..
"You know, he loved your brother so much, to the point that he committed a taboo and stopped the time in order to reverse julian's fate." said Sraosha.
"Loved him?! Hh, how come a demon or an angel or what so ever, a creature from a different world loves my brother that much?!" Whispered aaron with irony.
"Not logic right? Well, it happened some time ago, when demons pervaded human lands, and made a hassle in order to start conflicts and wars..
Eae was one of the angels who fought against those demons and chained them back to the demon realm. However, he was severely injured and unable to transmit himself to the empyreal realm. As a result he collapsed in the land in between, the human world..
He told me this story a countless number of time so I memorized it though I wasn't willing to..
He said that when he was unconscious, he felt warmth in his chest, and tiny hands trying to hug him and held into him tight..
He smelt a nice scent, a very calming and innocent one..
Then a gentle tap on his golden hair, and a.."
"A kiss on his injured forehead.."
Aaron continued Sraosha's phrase with this sentence unconsciously..
"Oh.. Where you with your brother that time?" Asked Sraosha.
Aaron replayed "No, I was totally alone when I found that golden.." He stopped suddenly and gasped, then looked at the brown haired demon who was also looking at him with surprise..
Sraosha laughed hard and said "I can't believe this, we've descended and committed all those taboos for the wrong person, He swore that he herd him been called 'Julian' that time.."
"People always mix between the two of us, We were mistaken for each other a lot of times, even in adulthood.." Said aaron, then continued with hesitance "How come the memory of that long forgotten day just snapped into my mind after listening to you?"
Sraosha answered "it's because it should have been erased from your mind, but since you remembered it, he might only hidden it deep, hoping for 'julian' to remember him one day.. But since his appearance somehow changed after falling, you didn't remember anything until I unknowingly revived that memory to you.."
He stopped talking for a while, then continued "Now that every thing is clear, I do smell a nice scent coming from you, surly it's stained a little and became faint, but it's still there, the warm scent of innocence.."
A few seconds of silence went between them, meanwhile the noises of Eae's fight was getting louder and louder, as if it was getting closer where they are..
"Is it really possible to reverse things?" Asked aaron in a calm voice while still starring at the brown haired demon.
"Yes it is, we will go back in time, and then set the world in motion again." Said Sraosha.
"What's the point of going back, things will only get repeated, and I will do the same darn mistakes." Said Aaron with a throttled tone while his eyes were about to shed tears again..
And before getting a reply from Sraosha, something hardly smashed one of the cave columns and knocked it down into small rocks..
It was Eae's scarred body..
With his drained powers and damaged right wing, he wasn't an equal match for all those outraged demons..
"Eae.." Shouted Sraosha with concern..
"Don't mind me, focus on what you're doing.." Said Eae while trying to get up on his feet, then whispered into aaron's mind "hey you, I've hidden a piece of cracked stone behind that big rock that is at your south east, grip it and stay very close to Sraosha.."
Aaron was confused and didn't move a muscle, which disturbed Eae's mood more, forcing him to shout very loud into aaron's mind to the point it caused him a temporal headache "MOVE..!!"
Aaron hurried and gripped that piece of stone, which had a cracked right edge as if it was a part of something..
He looked at the strange 2 litters that were cored into it..
And while he was wondering, a very loud roar made his body shiver hardly, and his heart to beat so fast..
He was about to lose the control upon his feet when he saw the demonic faces of those outraged creatures that arrived to this spot..
"Hm..! *sniff sniff* how come A HUMAN is still moving?!.." Wondered the scariest demon among the crew that followed Eae with irony, then he flew so fast toward the scared Aaron but was blocked by Eae when he blasted a lightning upon him..
"Don't you dare harm him." Said Eae with a warning tone..
"Why? he's going to die either way, Am I right?" Said that demon with a mocking tone.
After listening to this, Aaron was paused with surprise and fear, his eyes were widely opened, and he looked spontaneously toward Eae and Sraosha with hesitance..
"What are you waiting for you human, go away from him.." Eae shouted with annoyance, and aaron hurried toward Sraosha then started panting..
As for that scary demon, he bursted out laughing so hard that his voice echoed all around..
"You didn't tell him did you? You're just going to use him and then surrender him to his fate!! and to think that you were an angel before..!Shit, I can't take this.. Your soul is darker than us demons, at least we inform our victims about their destiny.." Said The demon rascally while laughing and his whole crew began to laugh along with him, leaving Aaron wondering with dread and confusion "what fate..?
what destiny is awaiting me?"
After a moment, Sraosha whispered into Eae's mind "the bath is ready, hurry..!"
Eae looked at that demon with restless eyes, as if he was thinking of a way to escape without giving those demons a chance to follow them to the time throne..
"Do not worry, go and sacrifice or revive. Do whatever you want to do, just seeing you fall more and more into this abyss pleases me more than slaying you.." Said that demon in a desirous tone, then he ordered his crew to stay still with a sign he made with his right hand.
All of them stood and gazed toward those three while they were crossing into the path, and grinning at the stupidity of the so called emotion of love..
Meanwhile, Sraosha, Eae, and Aaron arrived at the time throne..
It was a specious place where no borders to be found, and the pinkish yellow horizon is endless..
They were standing on a floating piece of circular white ground, in it's center there was a stony statue of a huge sand watch..
The statue had a missing part in it's base from the left down corner, a similar match for the piece of stone Aaron was holding..
After few seconds of their arrival, the whole place started shaking and cracks were appearing on that statue..
Eae got concerned and a little bit panicked, so he told Aaron what he's supposed to do in order to reverse the time "Do you see that statue? There are seven cells cored down on the sand watch, each cell contain a certain number.. go there quickly and decrease the number inside the second cell on your left from 12 to 10.. Then place this stone you're holding in the place where it fits beside the greek litters that are cored on the base.." Said Eae..
After hearing this Aaron didn't move a muscle. Instead, he looked at the black haired fallen angel and said with a calm voice "So, it appears that I am your immolation, the sacrifice, for saving Julian's life"
he turned toward Sraosha and contiued "Is that the reason you didn't reply on my enquiry back there, about me doing the same mistake when we reverse time.."
The two fallen angels were caught in surprise and couldn't reply, as for Aaron, he shouted to the point his voice echoed all around that place "I won't be in that reversed world, would I?"
He was gazing at Eae with bitter eyes, as for the latter, he murmured rascally "it's you who was supposed to die in the first place, so don't argue about your unnecessary existence.."
Aaron heard him and replied with anger "in spite of putting all the plame on me, where were you that day? Weren't you his GUARDIAN ANGEL?"
Eae got irritated and gripped Aaron's shirt nearing him toward his body, then looked at him with rage but had no answer for his question..
He only remembered how helpless he was when he arrived late to the area where Julian was raped, and was unable to even hold him though he badly wanted to..
He was held back and beaten so hard by the demons gathered at that filthy area.. The area where Julian's fate was defined..
Eae opened his mouth in an attempt to say something, but was stopped by Aaron when he slapped his hand hardly forcing him to release his shirt, then he said with throttled tone "I am going to do it for Julian's sake, for my whole family but not you."
After saying that, Aaron headed toward the sand watch statue and did as he was told by Eae, the fallen angel who was filled with hope and joy that Julian's fate will be corrected, but deep inside his heart, he had a very tiny sense of guilt..
while Eae was immersed with his thoughts, Aaron placed that piece of stone into it's place forming the greek word εποχή (epoch), which means time and age. Thus he completed the process of going back in time by 2 months and setting the world in motion again..
At that moment, the ground strongly vibrated along with a loud noise of a strong impact echoed all around the place, then a hard wind raved from the center of that circular ground, where Aaron was standing..
The wind hit him hard to the point that he was struggling to keep standing, and the air was hot as if he was about to be burned..
Aaron felt that this is it, these will be his last moments as a living being, so he unconsciously turned toward the two fallen angels, looked at Eae with sorrowful eyes, and whispered "farewell, my secret golden angel."
Eae couldn't hear Aaron's voice, but somehow was able to know what he said..
And with every blown wind that reached him, the lovely scent he loved in the past was getting stronger and stronger.. Leading him to realize the largest mistake ever committed by him..
Eae turned his confused eyes toward Sraosha, as if he was asking for a denial, but the brown haired demon smiled in twit and said "they are identical twins after all, similar faces but different souls."
At that moment, Eae huried toward Aaron at the center with a mind full of struggle..
He was revising the past, the soft hearted child who was trying to cure his scars, and how that child responded to some boys calling him by the name "Julian" for the eleventh time..
He remembered how the child called Julian had a lot of worries toward his brother, and had a sence of responsibility toward him to the point that he pushed his body to it's limits several times, and how he used to defend his problematic twin Aaron, who is the human Eae hated so much to the point of sacrificing him now..
"How come I didn't realize it sooner? Is it because they were coupled most of their life time?" Eae wondered while getting closer and closer toward Aaron, then hugged him so tight once he reached him, and covered him with both his damaged and healthy black wings to protect him from this burning storm, that will transform into blue and red flames in any time..
"I am deeply sorry.."
Whispered Eae into Aaron's left ear. While the latter was caught in shock, Eae continued in a soft tone "I'm unable to explain this action, but I'm not willing to let it end like this.. Don't die, Aaron.."
"But.. Julian's life would be better if I didn't exist in the first place.. It was my fault. He suffered because of the stubid things I did.." Replied Aaron with widely opened eyes and falling warm tears on his both cheeks..
"Think with your mind this time and stop being guided by your naive heart, then every thing will be ok." Said Eae with a calm voice.. Then he wiped Aaron's tears with his thumps and gave him a gentle kiss on his forehead..
"I hope this will make out for what I did to you.. My beloved human."
Those were Eae's last words before every thing got reversed in a second..
"Hey, are you listening to me?" Said a male high schooler.
"Um.. Sorry, could you repeat what you were saying?" Said Aaron with a confused tone..
He felt that he was involved in a very important matter and was caught in a sorrowful situation, but in the same time, he knows very well that he is at school now, discussing a very important issue with one of his classmates, who repeated what he suggested for Aaron by saying "I said, I heard of a very well paid part time job, but it is THAT kind of job, if you know what I mean"
"THAT kind?" Aaron wondered with uncertainty
"Come on, you are a man. Even if you do it, it wont affect you, you just have to not be found, so give a random name or a phantom residency to the owner"
After hearing his classmate words, and after a deep thinking, he decided to go to that place and ask about the salary. Depending on the amount he will consider whether to take the risk or not..
He stood in front of the building with hesitance, as if something was holding him from going inside..
He had a very bad felling toward all of it, but he was willing to push him self to do it for his brother's sake..
He took a step forward, then a familiar yet a strange voice echoed through his memories..
"Think with your mind this time and stop being guided by your naive heart, then every thing will be ok."
Those words kept him from taking further steps and brought him to shed tears for an unknown reason, he knew that those words are dear to him, but he can't bring himself to remember for whom they belong to..
"Aaron, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at your.." Julian's wondering question was cut off by Aaron when he unconsciously hurried toward him and hugged him tight with all his might..
"I've missed you.." Aaron whispered into his twin's ear, while Julian replied with confusion "what happened? are you not feeling well brother?"
Aaron kept hugging Julian and answered "I'm totally fine, I suddenly felt the urge of holding you when you called my name.. Just let me stay like this for now brother.."
Julian sighed with relief, then smiled and hugged his brother back..
In that day at home, Aaron told his brother about his lie, and where he was thinking to apply for a part time job..
Several moments of silence went between them, then Julian flicked his younger twin's forehead and said in a serious tone "if you dare to think again of doing that kind of a job, I'm not going to forgive you, or forgive my self either."
After that he looked into his brother's confounded eyes with a warm gaze, smiled, then tapped on his shoulders saying with a calm voice "shall we forget this conversation and have our delicious dinner that's awaiting us?"
Aaron nodded with relief, and the whole family, consisting of three and an extra upcoming member, gathered around the dinner table to eat..
The mistake Aaron made that time was not repeated in this reversed time.. And they lived soundly and happily as a growing family..
Julian became a father, Aaron finally found a good part time job as an assistance in a science club, after finishing high school. Working there brought him to decide to complete his studies as a college student and to major in supernatural & phenomenal science..
And in spite of the hardships of life, I am sure that those two orphans who had nothing but each other in the beginning, have gained more than what they wished for.. Their souls gained settlement..
"Are you happy now, Eae? Satisfyingly vanishing from existence, leaving me all alone in this pitch dark realm.."
That brown haired demon gave a broken smile and shed bloody tears of sorrow after revising both the current and the reversed present..
Then he surrendered his soul to it's sanction, and turned into a pure demon with no past memories..
