Chapter 1

It was a cold winter's

morning and you could see alot of snow on the mountains.

The Smith family was on vacation with their beautiful twins Ann and Ana.

The twins were very attach to each other. On their way home their father got a flat tyre, but it was very misty, and he couldn't see the road in front of him.

The car crashed into a huge tree. The twins woke up in the hospital and with a big shock, they had to find out that both their parents had died in the accident.It was a miracle that they survived the crash with only minor injuries. The twins was still very young,they were only five years old when their parents passed away. The only surviving family member was their grandparents. But they were too old to take proper care of them. Because of their age the court decided that it was better to put the children in a foster home. That was heartbreaking news for their grandparents. They lost their only daughter and son-in- law in the accident.But they knew that they were not capable to take care of their grandchildren as they were already eighty years old. After changing their testiment to their grandchildren, they were placed in a nursing home care for old age people. That was the saddest moment to say their goodbey's.

With tears in their eyes they went with the social worker to their new home.

Chapter 2.

The longing for their parents was innumerable.

There was a void in their heart that no one could fill.On the way to their new home, they made a promise to each other that they should never separate from each other. Those beautiful blue eyes were crying none stop and pinkie swear that they will stay together for enternity. It was a long drive to their home and both were crying, very tired and fell asleep.Finally they reached their destination. Very scared but brave they held each other's hands tightly, and then they both speak for the very first time.

We both want to sleep on one bed please! Again they plead. Please let me and my sister in one room and on the same bed. The women replied in a soft kind and gentle voice, very well you both can sleep tonight on one bed in the same room.They were very happy and thanked the lady with a shy smile.

That night they slept in each other's arms almost if they were afraid that someone would remove them.

The next day early the rules was set and the lady called each and everyone to read out all rules and regulations.

Chapter3

They were still very scared and confused.

The lady was not so friendly like the previous women, she looked at the twins and command them to leave each other's hands.They both got scared and started to cry.

Their worse nightmare came true.

She spoke to them in a hush way, just tomorrow I will separate both of you.

In this place their must be discipline.

You both must learn just like all the others to obey all rules and regulations.

And wipe that tears! because here we don't cry for nonsense.

That make the twins very scared and nervous.

Their worse night mare came true.

When they were finally alone, they whispered into each other's ears, we must try to escape because they will separate us soon .

Remember we pinky swear that nobody will separate us.

That evening when everybody was fast asleep, they walked softly on their socks, looking for a opening to escape.

But there was no exit to escape.

All the doors were locked and they were to small to jump through the high top windows.

They softly moved through the rooms descending to an exit

Suddenly they came upon an open window that was very shallow.

Chapter4

They crawl softly through the window, not knowing where to go.

They walked through the dark night.

They were very scared but dare not cry as they were afraid that somebody might hear them.

It was a cold winter's night and the wind was blowing.

Bare feet through the night, they cling to each other.

Suddenly they saw a hut and decide to hide there through the dark, cold night.

There was nobody in the hut, just an old bed with a few blankets.

That kept them safe and warm through the night.

They were exhausted and immediately fall asleep.

At dusk the next morning they set off again.

They remember the address of their grandma, because their parents taught them well.

Many cars passed by, wondering where are they off to.

Then suddenly a friendly lady stopped and ask: Where are you going?

And where's your parents?

But they ignore the lady, and walk faster and faster.

But the lady looks very friendly and they were tired and very hungry.

They slow down and start talking in a very soft crying voice.

We are on our way to my grandma.

We live in Crow Road in Elands Park

The lady was confused. Ellands park? But how did you end up here?

With lots of tears they started to tell the lady the full story.

They told the lady what happened to their parents and how they manage to escape from the foster home care centre.

Chapter5

The lady promised them that she don't live very far from Elandspark and gave them a ride.

She bought them something to eat and drink.

They were exhausted and fell asleep in the car.

The lady stopped at the nearest garage to pour in some petrol and oil.

The twins woke up and over heard the lady spoke on the phone, to take them to the nearest police station.

When the lady stopped the car to pour in some petrol, the twins slipped out and hide themselves behind an old building.

The lady was furious.

She asked each and everyone if they did not see the twins.

But eventually left and went to the police station, and told them what happened.

Now everyone has been notified to look out for the twins.

Chapter6

The home care was charged with negligence and the twins was all over the news.

The police have now been watching their grandmother"s house for a possibility that the twins will show up.

Many people were furious and very concerned.

The twins were very clever.

Nobody knew about the underground tunnel leading to the entrance of the house.

The tunnel was about 5 km away from the house.

They knew that the police and the community was looking for them and hide like two criminals in the basement of the tunnel.

You can enter the inside of the entire house if you walk through the tunnel.

Only their siblings knew about the secret tunnel.

There were about eight rooms in the tunnel including two bedrooms.

They were very exchausted and was very pleased to sleep in a warm bed.

There were still alot of food and groceries in the house. The twins were very careful to enter the entire house as they knew that each and everyone is looking for them.

The police also search the entire house inside and outside, but couldn't find the twins.

Chapter7

The twins learned to make porridge for themselves, opened cans of food to eat.

Their photo's was posted everywhere but nobody could find them.

Years passed and the twins was now almost ten years old.

There were lots of money hidden in a safe.Their food was getting little and they must make a plan to go out and buy a few things.

They gained more knowledge and wished to see the outside world.

They were watching television and noticed that the police was not looking for them anymore.

One evening they accidentally switched on the light that leads to the room of their mother. The neighbours saw it and was curious.The police was notify and looked through the entire house but couldn't find anything.

The twins was hiding in the basement of the tunnel.

Everybody who walked pass the house were afraid and said that it is a ghost house.

Chapter8

The twins getting older and turned twelve years old. They start wearing their mothers clothes.

They both decided to sneak out of the tunnel to do some shopping.

They could not write or read and had no idea how much money they will need to spend on food and clothes. They took alot of money out of the safe to do some shopping.

They still remember a few shops as their parents took them with when they do the shopping.

Hoping that nobody will recognize them, they entered the shopping mall.

Chapter9

It felt good to finally see the outside world.

Lots of boys were smiling at them and it felt good to just see a few people.

They bought alot of food at the store and asked the lady at the till to count the money. The lady looked at them confused, as they throw alot of money on the counter.

She asked them why are you giving me such alot of money?.

Don't you know how to count?

They were very shy and just nod their head. The lady only took out a certain amount if what they owe and gave back the other money.

They enjoyed shopping and went to go buy a few clothes as well.

Happy with their choice they went home and again sneaking threw the tunnel.They still miss their parents and grandparents alot.

They promised to find out where they took their grandparents, and wonder if they are still alive.

Chapter 10

They were exhausted from all the excitement and shopping.

They switch on the television and fall asleep.

The next day the felt a little bit angry and sad because they don't know how to write and read

Ann start crying and said we are all alone and we are stupid because we don't know how to write and read.

Ana try to comfort her and said: ' please don't cry, I have a plan.

Let's watch the video that our parents bought us.

That will help us, then we can learn how to write our name.

They were very impressed when they both could write their own name

That evening both had a very strange dream.

And both had the same dream.

Their parents appear to them in a dream for many times, but this dream was different. This was not an ordinary dream Their parents spoke directly to them, almost as if it was real and that they were alive.And it was so strange that both had the same dream. In the dream they walk through the tunnel where they saw a big light at the end of the tunnel. But this time the tunnel lead them to a big hospital.

They could see clearly the name of the hospital as it was written in big bold letters. But as they walk further through all the corridors they saw alot of doctors and nurses running up and down, almost if there was an emergency. The dream started to upset them and they asked their parents what was that all about.

Chapter 11

Their parents calm them down and told them not to worry.

All will be revealed in due time.

The twins were afraid of nurses and Doctors and blame them for their parents death

The Doctors and nurses that you see running have tried very hard to save our lives.Please don't blame them because we had to leave the earth.

There will come a time to reveal to the world who you really are.

But the both shout No! They will separate us again. But their parents reassured them that nothing bad will happen to them.

They both woke up sweating and started to cry.

They are now very afraid to see the outside world again.It is difficult to reveal themself, so they are now very careful to sneak out of the tunnel.again.

Two years later and they both start menstrual . They woke up and discover that the bedding is full of blood.

Very scared and nervous they used old clothes to stop the blood.

They both thought that they are going to die.

Then something miraculous happened.

That was the very first time that their mother appear to them during the day while they were wide awake.

My dear twins the angels allowed me to come to you.

They were so happy to see their mom.

She sat on the bed, wrapping her arms around them and said, you are becoming now two beautiful young girls. Look in the draw there is some pads that you can use.

She made sure that they are both comfortable and then disappear.

The both shout out loud! Please come back mom.. We need to ask you about our Dad.

They still can't believe that their mom was really there and disappear again

They kept that deep in their heart wishing that they can tell someone.

Both decided to carry out their parents wishes although it seems very difficult.

They wish that theirother could just stay a little bit longer.

Cjapter12

There were still so many questions.

They still wanted to know about their father.Both fall to the floor in tears with raw sobs that is unstoppable.

The pain only gets worse and worse due to the longing is innumerable.

They no longer see on television that they are looking for the twins who disappeared years ago. Everybody who walk passed the house thinks that it is a hunted house.

But Ann and Ana is still very careful, so that nobody can notice them.During day time they spend more hours in the rooms that leads to the entrance of the tunnel.And during the evening they carefully enjoy moving around the house.Simetimes they can still smell the perfume of their parents and they can still feel the warmth of their grandparents

Sometimes they wished to go and sit outside the big palm tree.That tree brought back so much memories.

Chapter13

The twins decided to search for their grandparents.

They decided to escape early morning through the tunnel.

The next morning they were relieved to go unnoticed through the tunnel and we're very happy when they reached the main road They inquired at both hospitals but there were no records of their grandparents.

They were hungry and tired and decided to go home. But then suddenly Ann remember something.

She remembers the dream of her mother and they both could see clearly the big letters in bold.

That letters was the name of the hospital.

They both look at each other.

Could it be that their grandparents are at the same hospital where their parents died?.

But they could not read or write, they can only remember the letters in bold that appeared in their dream.

They feel confused and feel like going home.They both sat on the sidewalk and think of a plan.They decided to write the letters in the sand.Both decided to write the letters in the sand.

Suddenly a very handsome young boy came to sit next to them, trying to make conversation. They tried to avoid his company and gets up quickly.

But the annoyed boy looks at what they wrote on the sand and read it out loud.

He giggles very annoyingly.

Why do you write the hospital name ?.

And said the hospital name out loud.

Report hospital is far from.here.You must take a bus to go there.

Very nervous they ask: Where should we get the bus?

Happy that they now know the hospital name.

It is about fifteen kilometres from here.

Come, my car is parked over there.

I will be delighted to take you. Very hesitant and fearful they agree to take the ride.He is a very handsome boy with beautiful blue eyes.

They told him that they are looking for their grandparents but does not reveal their true identity to him.The young man show them where the entrance to the nursing home is.He dropped them and wished them well.They both wave at him and looked at him with so much admiration as he drove away.

What a gentle men he are.

A friendly nurse help them look for their grandmother's file

The nurse took out the file and said yes both your grandparents were here but they passed away eight years ago.

But wait here is a letter that is addressed to Ann and Ana

Tears are running down their cheeks yes! That's us they shout. But then they both looked at each other knowing that they cannot read the letter themselves.

Very nervous they both asked almost equally.

Nurse will you be so kind to read the letter, but then the nurse was called for an emergency. Both were also relieved as it could lead to alot of questions.

They both walked out of the hospital , very exhausted riding back home with the bus.They both were thinking who can they trust to read the letter for them.

Chapter14

A elder women were sitting next to them, and very shy Ana ask if she can read the letter to them.

The women did not ask any questions and started to read.

Dear Ann and Ana we wished that we could stay with you a little longer, but it was time that go home

Home where we can be reunited with your parents.

We have a secret that we did not tell anyone, not even to your parents.We felt ashamed of what we did many years ago.Long time ago I gave birth to two beautiful twins.

Your mother my dear Rose and Roslee.

I gave birth to twins..but we were very young and poor and couldn't afford to keep both. My parents were very strict and I was not married to your grandfather.

We both were young and did not had any income.

Listening to my mother I had to give up the other twin for adoption.

We have regrets for the rest of our lives.

A few years later we got married and your grandfather became a successful business man.

But we both regrets were making the wrong decision to give up your mother's twin sister.

Her name is Roslee.

That is the only family that you have.

And I want you to find her..

It was a pain full mistake that I made to give her up for adoption.

Every night when I went to bed I take her with me.

All her memories I placed in a secret pillow..

There is a secret pillow, I want you to find it .

In that pillow I stored all the stuff when they were born.

It is a gift that I treasure the day they were born.

When you find her, I want you to open the pillow and give it to her.

All I know is that she was adopted by the prince family in Scotland.

My will is in a safe place in the closet

Please help her understand that we never stopped loving her.

We wish you both happiness.

With love from your grandparents.

Chapter15

The women looked at them and smile.

Well young ladies: She said," you both have a big task to do.

They thanked her and wave when she rang the bell to get off

They were both very quiet and was thinking about their long lost aunt.

They wondered how she looked like.

They actually enjoyed the bus ride, and both of them think about the handsome funny boy.

They wished that they told him who they are, but unfortunately they cannot reveal themselves to anyone yet.
