Twin girls, 12 year olds Reygan and River Johnson are living in Main Street Orphanage that is run by Alexander Arang. How these two unassuming young ladies ended up there is, well, quite an interesting story...

They were moved there at the age of 7, but they were not orphaned; Dominika Shores, the mother of the duo, was placed in jail for 14 years after committing crimes; Andy Johnson, father, left for Afghanistan and no one has heard from him.

But now, they decide they've had enough, and agree to make a run for it. After only days of planning, they leave on a crisp October evening.

A day before the great escape, they meet the Imperial family, the Romanovs when they're all out shopping. This exchange doesn't give them a home- yet. A few days pass- they meet again. The Tsar's daughters, Grand Duchesses Maria and Anastasia prove to be more promising, and quickly take them in to their family, who immediately decide to treat them as their own.

But through all the trials and tribulations they have suffered, Reygan and River always kept close to each other, and now have the Romanov family to stay loyal to. A few years later, though, in 2018, their loyalties will be put to the test. In these dark ages in Russia, who can they trust and remain loyal to?

~Author's note: this story takes place in modern times, and I am fully aware that the ages of the Romanov family are not correct, and for that purpose I'll make a story about the actual Romanovs. I had to do this for story purposes~
