Chapter 1

The surprise

Acouple of minutes ago I got called down to the office. I walked in and saw Grant sitting on the couch. I closed the door and I sat down on the couch.

"Grant and Cameron, I have called you down here because I have some surprising news for the both of you." Mom said. I looked at Grant but he seemed just as confused as me. I looked back at my mom.

"Recent data from both blackthorne and here have showed that you guys have similar DNA." My mom explained. I Iooked at Grant but he didn't get what she had just told us either. She sighed.

"In other words, you guys are brother and sister." She admitted. I looked at Grant and he looked just as shocked as I felt. I looked at my mom and saw tears in her eyes.

"Grant, you are older by 1 minute and and 23 seconds." She explained.

"So are we twins?" I asked, hardly believeing a word of this.

"Yes you are." She said, Tears were still in her eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me I had an older brother?" I asked, mad. I saw the tears start to fall and I saw how much it hurt her to say this so I softened up alittle.

"Oh cammie, I wanted to tell you but..." The tears came more quickly, "When you were both three, Grant, you were kidnapped." The tears kept coming, "We were offered a trade for you and we were all prepared to do it, but the director chose a different approach," She said and her voice cracked, "He decided that the thing they wanted was to precious to give away so instead we planned to attack where they had you hidden," more tears came and I could see that this story didn't have a happy ending, "But when we got there we heard that Grant was taken right from under their noses by a family in the group called the Newman's. They took you because over time they started to care for you and decided to take you in as their son," She started to sob, "And we never saw you again," She finished. Instinctively Grant and I got up and hugged her tightly. She wrapped her arms aruond us and started to sob harder.

"So how'd you find me?" Grant asked when she was done sobbing.

"We were going over the data of the boys from Blackthorne that were going to come over here, and when I saw yours it said that your parents were unknown but your foster parents were the Newman's. I checked your adoption papers and it was the same exact date that the Newman's had taken you. They were nice people and were actually double agents and they knew that was a bad place for you so they took you in." She stated.

"Grant, I know this may be weird but it would be best if you kept Newman as your last name and told nobody you are siblings so to not raise any questions, okay?" She asked and he nodded.

"I was also wondering if you would...like to join Cammie and I...in our Sunday dinners?" She asked hesitantly. Grant looked at me as if for confirmation so I smiled and nodded. He looked back at mom and smiled.

"Of course I will." He stopped, "Do I still have to call you headmistress Morgan or can I call you mom?" He asked. Mom smiled.

"Around school you will call me headmistress Morgan or Ms. Morgan, but when it is just the three of us you can call me mom." She explained and we nodded and went out of the room.

"So were siblings?" Grant asked with a grin. I smiled.

"Yes but lets not tell the others, it might be too much of a shocker." I said, he nodded.

"This should be fun!" He said, rubbing his hands together. We started to walk down the hall, then he stopped.

"So I'm older?" He asked, with a mischievious grin on his face. I laughed and pushed him playfully. We started to walk towards our rooms again, with a secret that we didn't have when we had walked down there half an hour ago.
