Ben and Jen Evans had just graduated high school last week and happily enjoyed their summer vacation before going to college in the fall.
They were fraternal twin siblings who were very close and considered each other as not only twin siblings but also as best friends.
Today was both of their 18th birthdays. Both were white, tall, blonde, and athletic. Ben was muscular, about 5'10", and his sister Jen was slim, just a bit shorter, at 5'8" with DD cups. Jen was just older by 5 minutes.
Being the forgetful one, Ben forgot to get his sister a gift, so he went to the local flea market, hoping to find something interesting.
He came upon a mysterious shop owner and felt very weirdly drawn to her. He couldn't explain it, but he just had to visit her booth.
"Welcome," the shop owner said, "What can I get for you?"
The shop owner was an elderly woman looking to be about her 60s, with gray hair and wrinkles, and wearing a lot of jewelry and loose garments.
Ben was inquisitive and said, "I'm looking for a birthday gift for my sister. "We're fraternal twins, and today is our 18th birthday. I'm looking for something special that she will like."
The shop owner smirked and pulled out two necklaces with crystals that looked like they were both part of one crystal broken in half. Both crystals looked symmetrical and enchanting.
She explained, "These crystals on the necklaces are bonding crystals. They are two identical halves of one crystal that was shattered. Legend has it that the crystals were enchanted and that when 2 people both have half of them, they will share a bond for life. The magic is what gives them their glow."
Ben's eyes had been drawn to them like magic, and they started to glow. In the back of his mind, he could feel a sensation, as if something strange was going on, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He couldn't explain why he had to have them. He didn't believe in magic and thought that the shopkeeper was just putting on a sales gimmick.
"How much for the necklaces?" Ben asked,
The shop owner replied, "Since it's your 18th birthday today and it's for your twin sister, I'll be nice and give them to you at the house. I like repeat business."
Ben couldn't believe it. Having just graduated high school, neither he nor his sister had jobs yet and were getting ready to go off to college in the fall so getting a free birthday gift was pretty awesome. He took the necklaces, and they glowed in his hand.
The shopkeeper boxed them up and he went home.
Later that night, Ben and Jen exchanged gifts on their birthday.
Jen said, "I know how much you like working out, and I see your shoes were getting a bit worn, so I got you some new running shoes."
Ben liked his present a lot and he needed to buy some new shoes soon anyway.
Ben then gave his gift to Jen. "I got us matching necklaces," Ben said. The shopkeeper said the crystals were magic and that when two people wear them, they will be bonded forever."
Jen laughed "We are twin siblings and best friends. I don't think we could be any closer!"
Ben argued, "Well, we are both going off to college after summer break, and since we have different majors, I'm not sure how often we will see each other, so we should enjoy what time we have with each other this summer. I thought it would be nice."
They both laughed and shared a hug. The necklace started to glow again. Little did the siblings know just how close their bond was going to become.
They ate some cake, received presents and a hug from their parents, played board games together, watched a movie, decided to go to the beach together tomorrow, and went to bed.
As they slept, however, both of their necklaces glowed, and both of them had the most unnatural dream...
Jen dreamt of her brother. In her dreams, they embraced, kissed, and touched each other. A very faint voice reached out to Jen.
"You love your brother."
"You are attracted to your brother."
"You are in love with your brother."
"You are extremely sexually attracted to your brother."
"You are turned on by incest."
"You think incest is so hot, especially between siblings."
"You think incest is so hot, especially between twins."
"You want to have sex with your brother."
Jen didn't know where these thoughts came from as she slept, and the necklace glowed. Ben was experiencing the same thing in the next room over.
"You love your sister."
"You are attracted to your sister."
"You are in love with your sister."
"You are extremely sexually attracted to your sister."
"You are turned on by incest."
"You think incest is so hot, especially between siblings."
"You think incest is so hot, especially between twins."
