The Quake

Alba continued into a room marked "analitics" and waved as she opened the door

"See you thursday Steph," Marvin's wife smiled and waved back. The family continued on, until they reached a room labeled "Project Gemini,"

Marvin keyed in a password and the door clicked as the locks slid back. The family walked in and Marvin and Steph stepped aside so their children could see what had occupied their minds since before the children were born.

Willow looked around the room. her mom and dad had told her what to expect, but it was still a little intimidating.  There were computers and charts and machines all along the walls. The walls were all white, except for the walls past the glass. Not regular glass, her dad had explained that this was special glass. From one side its see through, but on the other side it was a mirror.

Willow stood up on her tip-toes to see into the room. It had a blue wallpaper with clouds on it, just like her bedroom at home. Except some of the pieces of wallpaper was different types of blue. Some looked sort of yellow, and this room had three beds instead of one. There were lots of toys inside. Some looked really like the ones willow and her siblings had, like Willow's favourite stuffed animal, a little monkey. He sat upright on the pillow, exactly where Willow kept hers.

Willow looked above the beds and saw the same colourful signs that Willow and her brothers had above their beds. With the same names. Willow, with the letters that look like tree branches, Reese, with a racecar on his sign, and Jasper with the teddy bear on his.

"Ok, I'm going to go in and say hello now, and you guys are going to wait out here and watch," Willow's dad said, keying in an even longer password than the last one.

As the door opened, Willow noticed how thick the wall was. It was about as thick as her hand and made of all metal. Some of the doorframe was black for some reason. He walked inside and started putting stray books away on the shelf, just like he did for Willow, whenever she was messy.

"Come into the bedroom kids," Willows dad called. Three children ran in and hugged Willows dad. They looked exactly like Willow and her brothers.
