Sam glanced out her window. Only one more day and her friend, Darby would be visiting.

"Sam, I need to tell you something." Wyatt walked into Sam's room.

"Sure, what is it?" Sam turned her head to look at her father.

Wyatt reached into his pocket and pulled out a smooth stone that was about the size of a dandelion.

"It's pretty, but what is it?" Sam still didn't get it.

"This is only half of the stone." Wyatt explained. "When connected with it's other half, it will form a heart."

"So where's the other half?" Sam was confused.

Wyatt sighed. "Your sister has it." He said in barely a whisper.

"What!? I don't have a sister!" Sam blurted.

Sam's P.O.V.

Confusion swept through me. I didn't have a sister. Did I? I sat, eyes wide, waiting for an explanation.

Regular P.O.V.

"You probably don't remember her. She's a bit younger than you. When she was born, your gram gave each of you a stone in the shape of a half heart, so when put together it would form a heart. When June, that's what we called her, was only a baby…" Wyatt swallowed back tears. "She was kidnapped."

Sam froze. She had a sister that she didn't know. And worse yet, she probably wasn't even alive. Sam took the stone and held it tight in her hands.

Darby's house

Hurry up, Darby! We're going to miss our plane if you keep lollygagging! Jonah called. "We're going to meet your mother at the airport if we ever get there."

"Ready!" Darby shouted. She trudged her luggage out of her room.

Darby and Jonah got in the car and drove the airport.

"Mommy!" Darby called when she saw her mother, Ellen.

Everyone boarded the plane and took their seats.

"How have you been?" Darby asked her mom.

"Good. Oh! There's something I need to give you." Ellen pulled out a smooth, half heart stone.

"What is it?" Darby was eager to know.

"Before I tell you what it is, I should probably tell you this. You're adopted."

Darby froze. "I'm adopted?"

"Yes. The other half of this stone belongs to your sister. I don't know anymore than that.

Ellen's P.O.V.

I sat waiting for a response that I never gat. I knew this would be a surprise to Darby. I wish that I had told her sooner though, when she was young enough to not really care, but would still know.

Sam's House

Sam hurried through her chores. Darby would be here ant minute. The thought of having a sister still played in Sam's head like a broken record, but she tried to push it aside.

An unfamiliar car pulled into the driveway. It had to be Darby. Just in time too. Sam had just finished her chores. Darby ran out of the car and ran to Sam and hugged her.

"Sam! I have to tell you something! Look!" Darby pulled out the other half of the stone.

Sam froze. The stone. Darby had the other half of the stone.

"Mom says I have a sister that has the other half." Darby paid no attention to the spaced out look on her best friend's face.

Sam stuck her hand in her pocket and grasped her half of the stone. Without speaking, she pulled it out. Darby quit talking and looked at the stone with the same froze and surprised look as Sam.

Sam and Darby placed their stones together. A heart. Face to face, the sister held their stones together in the shape of a heart.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? ANOTHER CHAPTER WILL BE READY SOON.
