**Aurora's P.O.V **

After I freshened up and wore a dress Holly gave me (I lost my backpack in the forest) and walked to the living room. Somehow majestically tripping on my own feet.

I know I'm great.

Holly was sitting there with Adrian, in deep discussion. I cleared my throat, making them aware of my presence.

"Oh, hey dear....." she trailed off.

"Aurora." I said

She grinned sheepishly and said, "Yeah, Aurora, come have a seat."
I obeyed her took a seat beside across them. A door opened to reveal a....

Boy?

Oh my god,  He's Adrian!! 

Wait no,  his hair is deep brown, Adrian's is light brown, and Adrian's eyes are forest green, his are blue.

But wait,  in any way, he can't be Adrian, Adrian is sitting right in front of me!!

"Oh, late riser is awake early today isn't he? " Adrian said amusedly.

"Good morning to you too dear Mr.Twin." He mumbled sleepily.
But the sleep vanished from his eyes and tone as his gaze landed on me.

"OH MY GOD A ROBBER!! SITTING AT OUR TABLE!!" He yelled pointing at me. My eyes widened and Adrian chuckled.

"Not a good way to greet guests Aaron, is it?" Holly raised an eyebrow.

"Guest?" Aaron gave me a quizzical look. At the same time, Adelaide walked in.

"OH MY GOD TWO ADRIANS" she yelled. Aaron's eyes landed on her and they both stared each other quizzically. I exchanged a glance with Adrian. He was also trying to bite back a laugh. I couldn't control it anymore so I burst out laughing. Soon joined by Adrian and Holly. Two of them looked at us.

"Mom,  what on the Earth is happening in this house?" Aaron asked.

"Come have a seat, both of you." They obeyed. Aaron took a seat beside Adrian and Adelaide took a seat beside me.

"Now listen carefully, Adelaide, this is aaron not Adrian. They're twins. And Aaron, she," Holly pointed towards me, "Is NOT a thief. Actually, the three of them will tell us what actually happened. How about start with Aurora?"

I gulped nervously and exchanged a glance with Adelaide. She nodded sympathetically.

"Well," I started, "Me and Adelaide  have escaped. From our Orphanage."

"More like a prison." Adelaide interrupted me. I nodded. "Yes, they kept us like a prisoner." A painful lump growing in my throat " They abused us, made us work like maids and barely gave us anything to eat." I said.

"If we were caught resting when we weren't sick, we were punished. Anytime. We could only rest in the night. Never in the day." Adelaide completed, "No one could escape as it was on the edge of the forest, and everyone was scared of the dark rumors about the forest. But we decided even death will be better than a life like this. So we escaped."

The three pairs of eyes stared at us in disbelief. I just smiled and squeezed Adelaide's hand.

Adrian said, " That explains everything." He then told me how he saved me.

Oh God, that's so embarrassing.

"Okay kids, time for breakfast." Holly cheerfully clapped her hands.

And the tension started easing between us.
