Cherry and the Twitches

chapter 10

"Alex, Camryn!" Atticus called out. "Wait up!"

Alex just couldn't accept having a long-lost twin sister, but she did agree that today was her birthday and it was also Camryn's. Cherry, Atticus, Mo, and Patch caught up as the girls discussed their coincidental situation which was actually fate.

"Girls, please stop, look, you two are twin sisters, you were separated when you two were born." Atticus said.

"What?" Camryn and Alex both asked at the same time, Alex a little shocked and Camyrn a little delighted.

"It's true," Cherry spoke up. "And you're not just ordinary twins, you're--"

Suddenly, Beth came between the twin witches. "Oh, hey, Cami," she then looked to Alex, letting out a shriek.

Camyrn then screamed with her.

"Okay, okay, you people have got to quit screaming," Alex glared to them.

"Oh, my gosh," Beth couldn't believe what she was seeing. "She looks exactly like you!"

"I know!" Camyrn beamed. "Isn't it great? I got a twin!"

"That's great," Beth sounded jealous. "I want a long-lost twin."

"If she has a twin sister, I think there might be more screaming." Patch whispered.

Cherry, Mo, and Atticus hid nods in agreement with the Dalmatian puppy. Camryn sent Beth away so she could get to know her twin sister better and they walked with their new friends.

"Okay, spill," Alex looked to Cherry, Atticus, and Mo. "How do you know she's my long-lost twin sister and where did you guys come from?"

"And how did you get in our houses this morning?" Camyrn added, though was more excited than suspicious right now.

"We'll answer all your questions when we are somewhere more private, like Camyrn's bedroom." Atticus whispered to them.

"Yeah." Mo agreed.

"Come on, let's go, I'll give you a ride." Camyrn told them, going to her car.

The vehicle seemed to had won Alex over. "This is your car!?"

"Yeah, it was a birthday present." Camyrn smiled once she got to the driver's seat.

"And you just got it today?" Alex asked, amazed.

"Don't be ridiculous," Camryn rolled her eyes. "It was a sixteenth birthday present."

They all got into the car and buckled up to go to Camryn's house and clear up this whole twin witch situation.

"Wow, your parents must be loaded if they could give you this for your birthday." Patch said.

"Eh, it's no big." Camyrn shrugged with a smile, then got ready to drive back to her house.

Alex still felt strange about having a long-lost twin sister, but was now slowly warming up to the idea.

"Didn't your parents ever tell you you were adopted?" Camryn asked.

"I only ever had a mom and yes, she did," Alex replied softly. "She died three months ago."

"Oh, my.... We're so sorry for your loss." Atticus and Mo comforted her as they placed their hands on her shoulders.

"It's okay..." Alex said softly. "She may had not been my real mom, but... I love her and miss her very much."

"I know how you feel actually," Mo said softly to Alex. "My parents died when I was really little, I lived with my grandmother for a while and I've been to several different foster homes until I finally found the right couple."
