vol.1 chapter 3

 Faith says "This doesn't make any sense. Why would the mother split both twins? If we would have known, we would have adopted both girls." Just then the phone answers and says, "Lincoln orphanage how we may assist you?" The old lady on the phone says. Faith says "Um yes do you any details about Ember. Where she's from. where she was born. When her birthday is. That kind of stuff. Cause we have a daughter that looks like her and we think their twins." The old lady pauses for moment and then says, "Sure one moment." It takes a while, but the old lady says "her birthday is on August 9th. She was born on Springfield, Colorado. And her parents address is 1505 r street." Faith grabs a piece of paper and writes it down.

Faith says "thank you." And hangs up the phone. Faith says "The girls must be headed for Springfield, Colorado. I got the address written down. So let's take the car and go to Springfield, Colorado and go get the girls." George nods. Mean while on the road with Eden and Ember, Eden is driving, and Ember is the navigator. Eden says "Are you sure we're going the right way?" Ember replies "yes. Just trust me."

"What time is it?"

"3:36 p.m."

"At this rate will never get there."

"Sure, we will. It will just take time"

"Time isn't what we have if we've been doing this for hours on end."

"You're lucky were live in Nebraska otherwise it would take longer."

"Oh, like you're an expert. You hardly remember your adopted parents."

"Who loved me very much mind you. They did take me on trips you know."

"Trips? Where? The south?"

"Believe it or not I had parents who loved me and would take me to Disney land. Or was Disney world?"

"You don't remember?"

"No. I was 4. What do you expect from a 4-year-old."

"True."

It took some time and some gas, but they got to their real parents' house by asking for directions. They parked the car far away like Jack wanted and knocked on the back door. A person opened the door. He said "Hello. You must be Eden and Ember?" It was Jack.

 Eden says "You must be Jack. Our brother? Right?" Jack replies "Yes, if we find out the truth." It was silent until Jack said "Come in. Our mother is with her friends and our father is at a business party." They come in and the place is a mansion compared to what they were used to. Jack has blond hair with bangs to his eyes and his eyes are blue and is wearing black pajama pants and a black shirt. 

 Eden says "So what do we do? It's too late for a DNA test from the doctors." Jack says "Well sister if I know anything I'd say that even the maids here have secrets. One in particular I'm sure must know something so why don't we ask her some questions?" Ember asked, "what if she doesn't want to answer?" Jack replies "It's simple really. All you really need is money to bribe them and they'll tell you." Ember says, "That sounds bad." Jack replies with "Money talks. To them it's no different. By the way, who is who? Because I can't tell which is which?" 

 Eden says "I'm Eden and that's Ember. Two differences about us are I have brown eyes with blue in them on the other sides whereas she just has brown eyes. And our ears are shaped a little different and her ears are a little smaller and little father away compared to me. Whereas for me it's a little bigger and a little closer. And that's it for different ices physical wise. As for personality I'm calmer and the one with the plans and brains and she has more anxiety and is the one who just does things without thinking sometimes whereas I'm the opposite." Jack replies "Easy enough. Now that you have told me who you guys are and which is which, I can honestly say I now know which is which thanks to you Eden. Know theirs's no time to waste we must find one of the maids and ask her some questions." Ember asked, "Who and where is this maid?" Jack replies "Oh her name is Lucy. She should be in the art gallery room dusting and cleaning in there." So, they head to the art gallery room.

 They go in and see Lucy dusting a vase. Jack says, "Hey Lucy." Lucy stops what's dusting and turns around and says "Oh, Hey Jack. I see you brought guest. How may I help you?" 

"We need to ask some questions." 

"Fire away. I'm all ears. I'll tell you anything."

"Really? Is that so? Then what can you tell me what happened in with my sisters." 

" I-I can't tell you that." 

"Really? Not even for money?"

 Lucy pauses and sighs and then says "I don't need your money. I'll tell you what I know. Yes, you did have twin sisters. Your father said they died. But your mother, gave them away. She decided to separate the twins. Why? I don't know. She never told me other than "They would be in danger" and that's all I know." Jack says "But I don't understand. This doesn't make any sense. Why would my father say one thing, but my mother does the other? And why would she split Eden and Ember?" It was silent until someone says, "I'll tell you." They look around to the door and their Jack say, "Mom?! What are you doing here? I thought you were with friends. And also, how long have you been there?" Annie Replies with "Well I'm here cause it's time you know the truth. And I overheard your conversation outside the door, so I deiced to come in." Jack with a hand gesturing towards the twins and says "Then you must know this is Eden and Ember. Right?" 

 Annie says "Oh I know which is which. Edens on the left and Ember is on the right. But if I tell you the answer, you must promise to never speak of this to anyone."
