Chapter 1

Disaster Strikes

Bpov

My twin Sister Alice and I were identical except for our height. Alice went up to about my shoulders. Our personalities could not be more different. She was always happy and hyper, loves to shop, graceful, and loves to be the center of attention. Me on the other hand didn't smile that often, was calm, most clumsy person alive, and hated surprises and attention. We were jumping up and down on our beds listening to the radio and singing along to Kelly Clarkson songs. We were ten years old and so blissfully ignorant. We were home alone for the first time; little did we know it would also be our last. There was a knock on the door so we followed mom's instructions. We looked through our window were you could see our front door. There was a police car outside so me and Alice ran downstairs and opened the door. Alice and I were twins but I had always acted as the oldest. "Is this the Swan residents?" "Yes." I tried to sound as confident as possible. "I have some very sad news…"

Bella and I were finally home alone!!! We were jumping up and down listening and singing very badly to Kelly Clarkson songs. I looked at Bella and her jet black hair that went down to her waist, her deep chocolate brown eyes. Of course mine were the same. Suddenly we heard a knock on the door. We looked out the window and saw a police officer. We opened the door. "Is this the Swan residents?" "Yes." How can Bella be so confident I am scared senseless? "I have some very bad news, your parents are dead.""What." My voice was a whisper. "They were killed in a car accident please go and back four outfits a toothbrush and two pairs of shoes, nothing else. I am taking you to Victorian orphanage in New York." With that I knew that it was true, through everything I would always have Bella…. Right?
