Chapter 03 : Black Knights

I gazed at him from head to toe. He looks like the man that I've always adored. He was my haven to run to. He was the only sibling I wished I protected. I've already made a mistake, he died. So why is he here and well? Why is smiling and giving me heartaches?

I stepped closer to him hugged him without thinking. I buried my face onto his chest to hide my tears. I've already gone through this! Why... why...

He didn't hug me back for a while but he tapped my back a little.

"You know each other?" Dane's voice changed, it wasn't as giddily as before.

I took a step back to look at Ken again. I can't be mistaken. Can't they see the resemblance? I'm his twin!

"He's my twin brother..." I waited for his reaction but his forehead just creased and shook.

"I think you're mistaken, miss. I'm an only child." I wanted to run away but he's here! This is real! I've been pinching myself and I'm not asleep.

"I think... I think heard you say you're Kenneth Cole, are you not him?" I saw him taken aback. It took a while until he smiled again.

"I am him. I'm a part of the Dark Rose society, we have fake names..." I looked at Dane and he seems convinced. Ace looks like he doesn't even care. And Oliver, that guy... Was just staring at me and Kenneth!

"You both lowkey look alike though." Dane nodded at Oliver.

"Right! You both do! Such a coincidence." I didn't smile or anything. My face remained blank and just sat with them.

Am I high or something? We do look alike but not as accurate. I don't know, I haven't seen my true brother and he didn't even grow up! We were just seven and I can't always be like this when I see someone who looks and has the same name as him.

Though, when I get out, that Dark Rose is gonna meet its end. I remembered how fake they were with their fake identities. Some of them are criminals and orphans that were given a chance to have a life without running anymore. And the government can't even do anything because they do it cleanly. There's no evidence.

"Now let's talk about our Queen!" Oliver announced as he sees we're all done eating. I sipped on my choco frappe and looked at him bored.

"Let's start with rule number one! Black knights own you." I raised an eyebrow and was about to protest but the jerk just threw coal to my anger! "So you're to accept that we can all kiss you. No other boys! And when there's no class, you always come with us."

"Hold on there," Dane covered my face to stopped me.

"No arguing. You've signed the contract when you verbally said yes." I pinched his side. It's not to tickle him but for him to feel pain! I even want to punch him, but they're all boys and I'm too outnumbered. I should have brought my gang here and beat the hell out of these children.

When I was queen in my gang, I was bowed on and was never to touch! Kissing? Well, I am no virgin but I'm no slut! What do they think of me, a toy? I was in a rage but a guy from the shadows came and sat in the middle. The feeling handsome that should be in a hospital!

"What are YOU doing here?!" I asked and stood up. Is he part of this gang? Black Knights? What a joke.

"You've met him already?" Dane asked and I looked at him. He smiled and pointed the guy sitting in the middle. "This is Ashton, our king."

Are they a psychiatric hospital gang? When did they escape? I have never had a good laugh in a while! King and queen? Are they some kingdom and these assholes are the knights? How childish.

They looked at me weirdly as I laugh. I raised my hand to wait until I'm done. "Is this a joke?" My smile turned cold and walked out.

But before I could even take another step away from that table, a sword slices the space in front of me. I traced the hand who was holding it and saw Ace. He still had a dark blank expression I could never understand. I look back at Dane and he was smiling at me.

"It's not a joke, Queen." My eyes heated at Ashton. His other three buttons were unbuttoned and his scarcely tanned skin was ever so annoying. He walked up to me and kissed me on the lips. It was short that I never had the time to react!

The other guys took quick kisses on my cheek and I couldn't even argue! Ace had a sword! What else could the others have? I rolled my eyes. Knights, right...

I continued to walk out of the cafeteria then, again, I was stopped. I looked back at my wrist and to Kenneth. He smiled that took me aback. I can't be always like this!

"Hey," I wonder if that could have been Ken's voice. Deep and soothing.

"Hmm?"

"You know, I could be your brother if you want. You loved your brother to react that way. And I don't mind..." I looked at him and on my watch.

"You don't have too." I smiled but it looked like I was constipated! I turned my face blank. "He's dead and I want to move on... But thanks." I turned my back and took a faster pace.

I still can't believe how both he and my brother have the same name and face. Is this another karma for me? To rub some salt on my healing wounds? I didn't have the interest to go to my next class so I walked back to the dorm.

I pushed the key on the keyhole and kicked the door open. It automatically closes itself so I left it and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower before taking a nap. I closed the bathroom door bringing in my cream nightgown. I tested the water first before coming in. I enjoyed each droplet that was pouring down my body.

I felt sleepy as I finished my shower. The bed, I want the bed now! I was in a good mood until I saw a hump on the bed. My black bed! Is this my roommate? Or... I frowned to see that it was a guy! Did they sleep here? What the hell? Are they still together right now?

The lights were already dim and the curtains were thick enough to cover the sunlight. I looked for the switch and with my pale of cold water, I tossed it on the guy. I made sure all his body was wet and also my roommate!

I heard him curse that made me smirked. I crossed my arms and made a face.

"What the hell? Kylee? Why are you doing this?" Huh? I took a glance at his left but no girl was there! He's the only one here? Where is she?

"Why are you here? And where is my roommate?" Even in the dark, I saw his forehead creased. He pushed the wet comforter aside which made my eyes widen. He was half-naked!

"What are you talking about? I live here. This is my room. How about you, my queen, why are you here?" Without even seeing his face I could see all his cockiness. His voice was even deeper that made me shiver.
