Louisiana Love

By Midnight Dreamer

Prologue:

Louisiana 1891:

After the passing of their father Charles and mother Elizabeth; Emmett and Arabella McCarty are sent to live with their older brother Peter and his wife Charlotte on their homestead in Friendship, Louisiana. The McCarty’s had purchased the farm they live on after they were married. With the size of the farm it was nice to have two extra permenant hands to help out. Occasionally there would be a fellow southerner just passing through looking for work and a place to sleep for the night. The war had left many homeless and jobless still; even after so many years had passed. So Peter would offer a bed and food for a days work. The workers would come and go. They often came across the same traveler twice. 

1893:

Two years have passed since Emmett and Arabella have come to live with Peter and Charlotte. This seasons crops have been plentiful. To celebrate the harvest and pick up a few things for the twins upcoming 18th birthday, Peter and Charlotte headed into town but never returned.

They were later pronounced dead, leaving the homestead to Emmett and Arabella. After the funeral of their dearly departed brother and his wife, the twins head home to start the preparations for next seasons harvest, and their only form of income.
