Chapter 20

I think that is enough of the bad news now we need some good news to brighten up our moods says James.

So come on give us the good news I can’t wait any longer says Nia. Okay it will be shocking at first so please keep the gasping down a bit. Firstly James and Stanley are twins (gasping) Alice and I are twins also says Karen. Wow I never saw that coming says Nia. Yeah well there is more news apart from that says Alice.

We are getting married says Stanley .Wait a minute let me get this straight twin brothers are getting married to twin sisters says Roy. Yes everyone says together (Karen, Alice, Jason, Stanley)

Hey guys your meal. Thank you Tiana. So when is the wedding says Ashley. We haven’t decided that yet the first step was to get everyone together before we start planning. Thank you Karen for organizing to have us all here and Ashley how did you get leave from your flights? I told my boss about the accident last month and that I needed to be here for all of you’ll besides I have 4 months leave from last year.

Nia what is the good news you were going to tell us? I think Sam should tell everyone the good news. Does everyone remember how I used to be so protective of Nia at school? (everyone nods) well you see there was a reason behind that , the reason is because Nia had a big brother, no one knew about me till my adopted mother reunited me with my parents the day Nia announced her engagement.(gasping)

Sam and Lucy I have a question for you says Alice. Sure what do you want to ask? Well as far as we knew the search party to find youll was called off so how did you get back here? Can I answer that question says Nia. I was going to ask you to explain because I still do not understand how our sibling powers were united.

Many years ago, during a time when sages could perform magic my mothers ancestors were taking take of a powerful wizard.

The sibblings were told to go collect wood for a fire to cook supper due to their undetermined nature of finding sticks when wild animals lurked in the dark. The sibblings protected each other as a pack of lions surounded them when they were close to the village. The sibblings fought the lions while shouting for help. It was said that the sibblings were on the verge og death when their parents with other villagers arrived. The sage came forward as the crowd separated to make a path. The wizard healed the sibblings reciting an ancient spell. Once the sibblings were healed the wizard asked them “if they were so close to the village then why did they stay to fight the lions instead of throwing the wood and running to safety”

The eldest son said” if we ran to safety what would have been the outcome of our actions if the lions followed us and managed to kill a child from this village”? The second son came forward and said “ our parents gave us instructions to fetch wood for the fire, if we returned empty handed how will mother be able to cook for all of us dear sage? The daughter came forward and said “our partents brought us into this world therefore our first duty is to follow their instruction even if it ends up killing us “ Once the wizard heard the explaination of these sibblings he granted them a gift that when a sibling from this bloodline gets lost or in need of help, their sibblings will be able to find them by talking to each other in their dream or a vision of where the sibling is. Due to this gift Sam was able to make contact with me through my dream because I whole heartedly accepted him as my big brother.

Dr Eric P.O.V

I walk into my favourite book store to get a new book. Tomorrow Peter, my daughter in law’s father will visit for our monthly game night. I know what you are thinking a doctor who turned 45 is playing games , I see it as family bonding time.

As I walk through the mystery and adventure row I see a book with the name My heart broken wife, this book was published 5 years ago I wonder what this book is about I think to myself. I pay for the book and leave quickly to get home before it rains

Later that night before I go to bed I read the book. I soon realise this book is about the children that were on the same flight that I was on. As I take a trip down memory lane I wonder what happened to that baby girl that I delivered. If my calculations are correct she would be 20 years old now.
