Aria quietly wiggled herself into a more comfortable position. She was hiding in her wardrobe. Why was she hiding in the wardrobe you are probably wondering? Well her twin sister Piper had not stopped annoying her all day! She was constantly coming up with silly pranks and dares to do.
So she had taken to hiding in the wardrobe she had planned ahead to bringing her favourite storybooks to read and a torch to read them by. She was glad she had brought the torch it was pretty dark in the wardrobe not to mention cramped she was about to push some clothes out of her face when she heard Piper come into the room. She froze hoping Piper wouldn't check the wardrobe.
"Aria!" Piper called as she looked around the room."Aria where are you?" Piper said looking under her bed and then walking across the room to look under Aria's Bed "Stop playing hide and seek! I've got a better game to play!" Piper called out.
Aria stayed still as could be 'Please don't find me, Please don't find me!' she chanted over and over in her head.
Piper stood in the middle of the room and sighed loudly "Fine! If you're not here I'm leaving" she walked across the room with a smirk and closed the door loudly. She was still standing in the room beside the door 'Aria's totally going to fall for this!' she thought with a smirk.
'Does Piper really think I'm that Stupid! She's standing by the door I know it!' Aria thought in annoyance, she just wanted to read her books in peace. Then she felt a sneeze coming on 'Oh No' she sneezed and cringed. Piper was sure to have heard that.
Piper gasped "I knew it!" she ran over to the wardrobe flinging the doors open with such force it was wonder they didn't fly off their hinges. "What you in the wardrobe for?" before Aria could answer Piper began to laugh "Don't tell me those books have gone to your head?! You know there's no Lion's or Witches in our wardrobe!"
"I know that, Stupid!" Aria pouted. "Well come on," Piper said, grabbing Aria's arm and pulling her out of the wardrobe. Aria would not get up causing Piper to drag her out onto the carpeted bedroom floor.
"Piper!" she complained, "Let me Guess you want to read!" Piper huffed putting her hands on her waist as she glared down at her red haired twin.
While also being quite different in personality's they were also different in looks (their parents were somewhat thankful for this, looking after twins is hard enough without also getting them mixed up) while they had the same face shape and olive skin complexion. Aria had inherited her dad's red hair and her mother's green eyes. Piper, on the other hand, had inherited her mother's brown hair and fathers blue eyes.
"Yes! I'm nearly finished and they left the last chapter on a cliff-hanger!" Aria complained "Well you've got all winter to read! It's summer now so that means we have to go on an adventure!" Piper said, excitement in her eyes.
"We can't, we're only seven" Aria stated bluntly. "So What! Don't all the heroes in your books start their adventure at a young age?!" Piper said
"Well, Yes" Aria replied cautiously. "Well it's no good just reading about it, you've got to live it!" Piper said, throwing her hands in the air in exasperation
"Well, maybe I don't want to live it!" Aria said, folding her arms as she glared up at Piper.
Piper began to laugh "You're so silly, Aria!" then she began to walk to the door "Now C'mon, Adventure doesn't wait for anybody!"
Aria gave a loud sigh of annoyance but stood up and ran after her sister. 'It's up to me from stopping her doing anything too crazy'
"Piper I'm not sure about this" Aria said.
"Stop worrying this is how we will start our adventure" Piper replied, fixing the purple helmet on Aria's head. "I still think the helmets will ruin the sense of adventure"
"Well, it's either we wear Helmets or I'm going to tell dad about your crazy idea!" Aria said as she glared at Piper.
"Dad wouldn't be too mad" Piper smirked.
"Fine, I'll tell Mum" Aria smirked back.
Piper gasped "You wouldn't!"
"I would!" Aria said.
"Fine, I'll wear the silly helmet," Piper said with a roll of her eyes. She put the blue helmet on and then Aria helped her buckle it on.
"Right so you know the story!" Piper said with an excited grin.
Aria nodded "Yes, we are two spy's on the run from bad guys with octopus arms and we must travel through the dangerous lands full of terrible creatures and possible landslides to escape back home" As Aria said this she casted a judgmental look over Piper's makeshift obstacle course that was meant to be the dangerous lands. All that went through Aria's head was that her top was going to get ruined and she did so love this top.
"Okay when I say Go we go," Piper said.
"But you just said go and we didn't go," Aria said.
Piper sighed and rolled her eyes "Not that Go the next one!"
Aria nodded "Okay"
There was silence for a little while and Aria found herself sighing "Would you just say it already!"
Piper glared at her twin sister "I was waiting for the right moment and you ruined it!"
Aria rolled her eyes and Looked away from her Piper.
"GO!" Piper shouted grabbing Aria's hand and pulling her along.
"Underneath the poisonous vines," Piper said as the two of them began to crawl underneath a net.
Aria crawled behind her sister and saw the grass staining her top 'Mum's going to kill me' was her only thought.
"C'mon Aria! The octopus men are behind you!" Piper said as she waited by the net for Aria to crawl out.
Aria crawled out from under the net and Piper quickly pulled her up and ran with her to the next obstacle.
"Over the volcano on the tightrope of terror!" Piper laughed as she began to walk on the seesaw. Aria followed behind Piper and winced as the seesaw wobbled and she felt herself nearly falling off.
Piper glanced behind at her sister "Careful you don't fall Aria or the lava sharks will eat you!"
Aria nodded as she put her arms out to balance herself.
Piper jumped down from the seesaw and Aria yelped as the seesaw tried to move due to the difference in weight.
Piper held out her hands "C'mon Aria you can do it!"
Aria grabbed her sister's hands and jumped down.
"Yay! But we got to move Quick or the octopus men will get us" Piper said in a serious voice.
Aria giggled and nodded getting more into the adventure.
"Now through the ocean!" Piper laughed stepping in the small inflatable swimming pool she had filled with water and pulling Aria in after her.
Aria squealed as the cold water soaked her this caused Piper to smirk and splash her sister in the face. Aria glared and splashed her sister back. This caused a splash war to start. The two girls laughed as they soaked each other.
Then Aria grabbed her sister's wrists stopping her from splashing anymore "Piper, We can't turn against each other that's what the octopus men want!"
Piper gasped "You're right! They tricked us we must seek revenge!"
Aria nodded as they stepped out of the pool and to the next obstacle.
"But first we must climb the mountain of…" Piper trailed off and looked at Aria "Give me a word" she whispered.
Aria giggled "How about…Mysterious"
Piper shook her head water droplets falling from her hair "No it's a mountain they can't be Mysterious"
Aria sighed "Then…Mighty"
Piper grinned and nodded "We will climb the Mighty Mountain"
Piper and Aria began to climb the rock wall which was the reason Aria had said they needed to wear helmets.
Aria wasn't too fond of heights even though the rock wall didn't go up that high. She still took her time cautiously placing her feet and Hands in the provided foot holds. Piper was fine with heights and quickly climbed up the rock wall like a monkey climbs a tree.
She got to the top and looked down at Aria "Aria, You okay?"
Aria just nodded secretly chanting in her head 'Don't look down, don't look down'
"You sure? You look like you're going be sick" Piper said as she sat at the top swinging her legs.
Aria felt she was going to be sick, her wet clothes were sticking to her and her wet shoes and hands were making it really hard to climb the rock wall. She glanced down and regretted it. She wasn't too far off the ground but she may as well have been. Fear gipped her and she froze, eye's widening in fear.
"Aria, why have you stopped climbing?" Piper shouted down. Aria didn't answer her and then she realised "Aria, are you stuck?"
Aria quickly nodded. "Okay, I'm coming" Piper shouted as she began to climb down the rock wall.
Aria whimpered as Piper passed by her on her way down and jumped to the ground. "Okay, Aria, let go!" Piper said holding her arms out.
"Are you Crazy?" Aria manged to shout out.
"Maybe, but I'll catch you!" Piper laughed.
Aria glanced down at her sister and took a deep breath and let go of the rock wall.
Aria fell into Piper's arms but seeing as Piper wasn't strong enough to hold her weight. She fell to the ground Aria on top of her.
"See I caught you!" Piper laughed. Aria laughed too as she lay on top of her sister.
"Now get off your heavy!" Piper complained.
"I'm the same weight as you!" Aria complained as she got off her sister and helped her up.
"Whatever! We should go back into the house now" Piper said. She began to run to the house holding Aria's hand only to trip on a stone and fall into a puddle of mud pulling Aria along with her.
Aria squealed as mud covered her, Piper laughed.
"Let's go change," Piper said.
…
Piper and Aria were sneaking into the house and hoping their mother would not find them in the mess they were in.
"We're dead!" Aria cried
"Keep your voice down" Piper hissed. "What mum doesn't know won't hurt her"
"Is that right, Girls?" a smooth voice said.
The two girls froze. Aria and Piper's eye's widened in fear, they knew that voice. They quickly turned to see their Mother standing by the doorway, arms folded and glaring at the two very muddy and wet girls.
"Hi, Mum what you doing?" Piper said with a laugh. Aria hid behind her sister and felt like hitting her over the head for asking such a stupid question.
"I just cleaned that floor," Lila said pointing at the floor which was covered with Piper's and Aria's muddy footprints.
Aria and Piper glanced at each other.
"Uh that wasn't us," Piper said.
"Really? I find that hard to believe" Lila said with a raised eyebrow.
"Okay, it was all Aria's idea" Piper loudly whispered.
"Stop Lying! It was your idea!" Aria said shoving her sister.
"Was not!" Piper said shoving her sister back.
Lila sighed as the two twins continued to fight "GIRLS!" She said with a glare.
The two girls stopped fighting and looked at their mother sheepishly. "I don't care whose idea it was!" Lila said.
Then Nathanael came into the Hall "What's all the shouting about?" then he saw the Piper and Aria covered with Mud and dripping it all over the floor. He began to laugh.
"Who let two mud monsters in?" he laughed. The girls began to giggle.
Lila glared at him "Don't laugh at them! You'll only encourage them!"
"Now take your shoes off and go upstairs you need a bath!" Lila ordered the twins.
The twins did as they were told and took off their shoes and hurried upstairs to the bathroom.
Then Lila looked at Nathanael who was still smirking "And because you laughed you can clean up the hall" Lila said and went after the twins to make sure they didn't wreck or break anything in the bathroom.
Nathanael smiled and rolled his eyes and then went to get cleaning stuff.
"Movie time!" Piper shouted.
"Naughty girls who get covered in mud shouldn't get to watch a movie" Lila said with a smirk.
"That was an accident, Mum!" Aria said.
"And we said we're sorry," Piper said.
"Fine, then you can watch a movie" Lila smiled.
"I'll go get Dad!" Aria said as she rushed out of the living room.
Piper smiled and sat on the sofa beside her mum using the remote to flick through the movie options.
"And you say I'm soft on them," Nathanael said walking into the room with Aria.
"That's cause you are" Lila smirked.
"What Movie we watching?" Aria asked sitting down beside piper on the sofa. Nathanael sat beside Aria.
"You want to watch…ah! Let's watch Brave!" Piper said it was her and Aria's favourite movie.
"Yes!" Aria said happily
Piper clicked it to play and settled down to watch the movie.
Lila and Nathanael looked at each other. This was the sixteenth time in a row.
'Aw, well it keeps the girls happy…and quiet' they both thought as the movie played.
