prologue

I hate moving ,I hate everything, why did they have to just leave us,do they think we were going to be able to cope?Antonia thought to herself while sitting in the car next to her sister.
"What's it Toni?" Guinevere asked taking hold her sister's hand.
"Why did they have to die,I hate them" she said fiercely
"You don't hate them,it wasn't their fault, I miss them too" she whispered.
"I miss them too,but where are they taking us?" She asked her elder sister Gwen.
"I don't know,but I overheard them saying to an aunt place"
"Which aunt? We don't have any aunt" Toni replied
"I don't know,but if she better not be wicked" she replied with a determination etched into her face.
"Even if she is,we can't do anything about it" Toni replied
"Well,ii--iii----iii,ohh I don't know" Gwen wailed
"Keep it down there " the social worker shouted.
"Its okay Gwen,I would take care of you" Toni whispered
"We both will look after each other." Replied the Heart wrenched Gwen
It wasn't an easy thing losing both parents in one day,but that is what happened to the ten year old Pearson twins. The twins weren't identical,Gwen was blonde and had emerald eyes it's as looking into an unending pool,whereas Tonia had chestnut hair and hazel eyes,which was a very striking combination.

"Hey kids we are here" the social worker told them.
They got out of the car and stared at house,it wasn't wicked looking the twins both thought, it actually looked inviting from the outside.
"Don't just stand there,let's meet your aunt" the social worker said,they both couldn't remember her name.
They walked towards the door and knocked on it,someone replied from inside.
"Come in,the door is not locked."
They entered the house slowly, not knowing what to expect.
"Good day ma,am grace whiting, I called to inform you about grand nieces"
"Ohh,that right" the lady peered over the social worker back to see the kids,she wasn't wicked looking,instead,she looked like a nice old lady with few wrinkled on her face and dark brown hair already graying.

.
"I would like you to sign some documents and they would be handed over to you officially as you are their only living relatives"
"That's okay,kids why don't you take a sit" she told them.
After signing the documents, she asked the social worker "would that be all ma?"
"Yes,but we would be checking in on them for the first few months"
"That's okay,your welcome anytime" with that she walked the lady to the door and shut it behind her.
"So what's your name?" She pointed to Gwen
"Guinevere hazel Pearson" she replied
"That's such a nice name,and you dear?"
"Antonia emerald"
"Don't you both look cute,am aunt ermintrude, you can both call me aunt Mimi" she told them with a smile on her face.
"Would you like to drink lemonade,I just made it"she asked them
" yes ma"the voices said in unison.
She left them sitting down and went to get the lemonade for them.
"She seems nice enough" Gwen told her sister.
"Yeah,I think we would like it here" Toni replied and took a survey of the house with her eyes.
Aunt Mimi returned with their drinks."why don't you girls drink up and I would take you to your rooms "
"Okay ma"
And that was how the Pearson twins came to be living with their great aunt Mimi.

Seven years later

"Gwen ,what does it take not to have a heart" one of her classmate asked her.
"Gwen, aren't you cold from all those ice?" Another taunted her
This has been going on for quite a while,it hasn't been today that it started,for quite a while now,everyone called Gwen the ice maiden,and since the teacher decided not to show up today, it got a lot worse.
"Aren't you going to answer us Gwen?" One poked her back
"You guys better stay clear of my sister or" Tonia said
"Or what?,beat us,hit us?" Another laughed at Tonia's outburst
"Its okay Tonia" Gwen told her sister.
"Its not okay Gwen, why do they think they can keep taunting you"
"Ooooooo,the ice queen can't defend herself,leave it off the younger sister"
Gwen turned her head, with deliberate precision and stared at her tormentor.
"Oooooo,don't look at me,before I freeze to death" the guy laughed,with the others egging him on
"That's it," Tonia shouted standing it up,to give the guy a piece of her mind,when suddenly the place burst into flames.
"Fire,fire,fire" the students screamed and ran out the class,Gwen dragged her sister along,with Toni in some kind of daze.

The rest of the classes was canceled because of the fire outbreak in the school,no one seem to know the cause of the fire,except those in the Pearson's class.
"I don't think I want to go to school tomorrow " Toni said
"Me too,but we have too" she replied as they pulled into their drive way.
"They would call me a freak"
"They won't,you didn't do anything" she said as she got out of the car.
"You know I was the one that started that fire" she replied
"You know that's impossible right"
"That still doesn't explain it" but Gwen wasn't listening,she was staring transfixed by a letter on their door step.
"What's it gwen?"
"I don't know" she replied picking up the letter.
"Maybe its for aunt mimi,cause who else would receive a letter?.Toni said.
They went into the house and dropped their books and both bellowed their aunts name,they were both curious about the letter.why?
It wasn't any ordinary letter from what they could tell,the envelope was soft like a baby's skin and it was as though the envelope glowed.
" yes,why are you guys shouting ?"aunt mimi replied from the kitchen.
They followed the sound and her voice and met her baking apple pie.
"A letter came in for you today" Tonia said
"It did,ohh let me clean my hands and see it." She cleaned her hands and dried it,and took the letter.
"What nice envelope, who could it be?" She opened the letter and read the contents and she did the unexpected, she fainted.
