'You want to know me but when you do, I no longer exist. What am I?' Yes, the answer is a secret. I have a secret. A secret between my Dad and I. This secret is the main reason I am hailed as Australia's best tap dancer.
Katie is a 16 year old girl from Sydney, Australia. She is naturally a very good dancer in all styles but never the best in the country. This wasn't good enough for her Dad so he invented something. What? Well I can't tell you that, you will have to read the story to find out.
Katie was happy with her life. Her career was going extremely as was her relationship. But she was too caught up in all this success to notice one minor problem. Someone was catching onto her secret. Someone knew she had a secret and was prepared to do anything to find out. But they didn't have to, for Katie made one simple mistake. One simple mistake that would reveal her secret to the world. One simple mistake that would ruin life as she knew it.

Hope
Kate was used to dealing with unfair consequences. Having a less than ideal home life and no one else to support her, she had learned to deal with things on her own. She had learned not to feel and especially not to hope. So when someone new comes into her life Kate does the best thing she can think of, she shuts them out. But, after a series of events in the course of one day, they are thrown back together, and Kate is given the chance to explain herself. Explain why she was so guarded and why she had closed herself off in the first place. And maybe along the way Kate learns that things aren't always so bad. That feeling and hoping aren't the worst things in the world. ***Warning: Mention of abuse is included in this story. Please don't read if that is a trigger for you in any way.

Twin At First Sight |✓|
I felt the tears rise and I looked down for a minute, gathering all of my resolve. I looked up again and stared him right in the eye. "You know what? I trusted you!" I jabbed my finger in his chest and he recoiled. "I trusted you and you broke my trust. I trusted you to keep the secret. I trusted you enough to tell you everything. I trusted you to keep my trust. I trusted you." I told him and he flinched as my voice broke in the end. I looked away from him and at everyone else in the room. "And you wonder why I never trust. You know what? I can't do this.

Sure enough, he is looking right at me, an intense look in his eye. My mouth feels full of cotton. How can this man make me feel this way after eight years of not seeing him? Nobody else has ever made me feel like this before, except for him. "W-why are you looking at me like that?" I whisper. I'm expecting him to ask me, 'looking at you like what, Darling?' But he doesn't, and something tells me that he knows exactly what I am talking about. "Because, you are just so...prepossessing, Darling." He whispers, and his voice sends a chill down my spine. I shiver. I swallow loudly and drop my gaze to my lap, my hands shaking slightly. What does prepossessing even mean? "Am I making you uncomfortable?" He murmurs. "U-um no." I shale my head slowly. He stands up abruptly, causing me to look at him. His body towers over me, his eyes searching my face for something that I'm not quite sure of, and then he holds out his right hand.
