The Sapphire

Chapter 3 The secret

^^^Matthew^^^

I stared into his eyes. They were so bright. I wished I could look into them forever. But then I saw Brooke. she was staring into them to. Wait... Never mind, they're double. They're twins. His name was Matthew. So, Brook and I found out that we liked twins. I could tell the difference right away, Matthew's eyes sparkled. Of course, anyone would be scared out of their mind, if a random person grabbed them and pushed them into a bush. I was, until I heard a comforting and sweet voice whisper, "it's gona be okay. Just stay still and quiet." I wasn't going anywhere! As soon as I saw him, my heart skipped a beat. I could still hear it beating as Em. waved her hand in front of my face. "Snap out of it!" She urged, "we've gotta get out of here!" I heard footsteps nearing, and I started freaking out again, until Matthew tugged my hand, reminding me that he was there. We took off. As we raced past the trees and stumbled over the brush I noticed that two other boys had joined us. They look about Emily and Tiffany's age. I tripped, but was caught by you know who. 'No time for that." I thought to myself. We continued to run. Ahead, I saw what looked like a wall covered in vines. As we got closer I stared to slow, not wanting to run into the wall, but Matthew kept running. We ran straight though the wall, and that's when I realized it wasn't a wall at all! It was simply loose vines. As soon as we were all save inside, I sat down to take a breather. "This day could not get any weirder!" I smiled at Matthew, but his face was serious. "I wouldn't be so sure of that." My smile faded as Matthew pulled out a map. It was the same map the men were holding. I gasped. Thoughts raced through my mind. "Wait, who are you guys?" Brooke asked. The boys introduced themselves.

• Julian - 15 - Brooke and my age
• Matthew - Julian's twin
• Isaac - 13 - one year older than Emily
• Landon - 14 - one year older than Tiff

Matthew began to explain our situation to us. We were all freaked out, but we knew what we had to do.
