Finding my Twin

Zegnyk stood in the pouring rain outside of his twin brothers' home. It had been years since he'd seen his twin and he wasn't sure if he was welcome inside. The leopard's curiosity did get the better of him and snapped him out of his stupor and he finally knocked on the huge doors of the citadel. The loud sound of the pouring rain around him deafened his hearing, his fingers moved to his soaking wet clothes and he clung to the wet fabric tightly, as he did so he didn't hear the door open right away and a hand reached out and grabbed him. Roughly it shoved him into the large door frame and he felt hands frisking him.

He froze in shock as he was frisked down by the door guards. They wore helmets and Zegnyk couldn't see their faces, his body spun around forcefully and he felt the hands frisk up his back. His hands could only lift to the sides of his body and his fingers splayed out to just let them check him for weapons. Zegnyk knew this was the way of things, especially approaching the alpha's home in such a way but he didn't know any other way to contact his twin. One of the men stopped and spoke, "He's clean." And then the other guy spoke, "What is your business here!?" He grabbed Zegnyk by his collar and spun him around and spoke right into his face.

Zegnyk went limp, his eyes dropped. Maybe this was a bad idea but he said softly, "I want to see the alpha." The guard blurted out. "WHAT!" Zegnyk cringed at the loud sharp answer but he gulped and spoke up so they could hear him above the loud sound of the monsoon rain. "I WANT TO SEE THE ALPHA!" The guard laughed, "Oh?" The other guard nudged him in the back, "He's probably a late-night booty call." Both guards laughed and then dragged Zegnyk inside.

They were rough as they moved him down through all the dark curving hallways of the confusing maze of the citadel. Zegnyk did look around as they passed by rooms and dark halls, Zegnyk did remember this place when he was a little boy and when he visited their grandfather who used to own it. He couldn't remember everything, only bits and pieces. The smells alone of this place were overwhelming to his senses. His brain hurt as he was flooded with flashes of memories of being here and remembering everything from when they were little together.

---Flashback---
"Ashwinn! Ashwinn!" The sound of children giggling as light footsteps ran up and down the halls. Zegnyk ran around and looked in each room, one after another. "I found you!" A light voice of a child squeaked as he pounced on his hiding brother. They both burst into laughter as their game of hide-and-seek played out. He remembered hearing Ashwinn, "My Turn!" Ashwinn covered his eyes and started to count. Zegnyk gasped in excitement and ran off laughing as he was hearing. "1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7, 8, 9, 10 HERE I COME!!"

Lost in his memories he stopped paying attention to where the guards took him. Before he knew it he was pushed into a room and the door slammed behind him. It was pitch black in the room and his hand reached out to a wall to flick on the light switch. His sensitive eyes squinted into the light as it flooded the room. It was too much light, so he turned it off quickly and stumbled over to a lamp he saw in a corner. He sighed as he saw the lamp was by a stained and disgusting bed. His nose turned up and he didn't want to sleep there tonight. Looking around the room to see what else was there. A small bathroom was connected to it so he stepped over there instead. He could at least get out of these wet clothes in here.
