Chapter 3: Twin
After an hour of siting crying and staring Danie finally spoke. "How could he. We were not ready to tell you. We were going to tell you eventually when your father came back." She began crying again and it was Kano's turn to speak. "I was sworn not to tell you Kiri even if I broke the promise Danie still put a lock on me so that I could only talk about it when she was ready to tell you. I'm so sorry." He looked at the girl but she was not crying she was smiled. "Sorry." She repeated "Why in the world are you sorry? I have a mom and a dad and a twin brother. Of course I had to find out from a." She stopped. "What is it?" "Rich he said there was something you had to tell me he couldn't. What was that?" She asked them hopefully. They both looked at each other and smiled. "He didn't tell you?" Danie asked with a smile, "Why he's known you since you were born. Did he tell you his birthday?" "Yes he did he said it was September 5,62." She stopped. She didn't believe what she was saying he had the exact same birthday as she did. But how was that possible? It wasn't unless he was her.twin.
"I don't believe it! Richard is my twin brother." Kano and Danie smiled. "Yes dear he is." Danie told the girl. "Ok let me see if I understand this, Richard is my twin, Danie, you are my mom, and my father is..." She stopped, " Wait who is my dad? And where is he?" Danie's eyes became very large, "Oh my gosh, I forgot! Numair is coming home today!" She cried. "You will finally get to meet your father. He is the best man I could ever hope to meet." She hugged the girl and cried. Kiri cried too and Kano stared at them. Kiri looked at him and remembered something. "Oh Kano I was going to ask you if Rantat had a son?" "He does. His son's name is Roger. Why do you want to know?" asked the old dog. "Oh no reason I was just wondering." Kiri smiled with a sly look in her eye and left to find Richard.
As she entered the town the first thing she saw was Richard being thrown out of a local tavern. "And stay out ya bum." The anger merchant warned. Richard got up and shook his head. When he looked up Kiri was right in front of him. He stood up and smiled "Hello Kiri. How are you?" He asked. "Shut up and come with me now!" Kiri replied firmly. The boy smiled but did not move. "Why should I?" he asked slyly. She bent close to his ear, "Because I know what you don't want to tell me." She whispered. Richard's face turned white as a ghost. "Ok let's go." He said and followed Kiri back to their spot in the woods.
Once they got there Kiri was the first one to speak. "Why didn't you just tell me you were my twin brother? I would have understood but no Danie had to tell me and that made me mad." He wouldn't speak or look at her. "Richard I have been searching for you mom and dad all my life do you know how happy I would have been if I had found out from you first? Is there anything else you are hiding?" Kiri pulled up his shoulders and looked straight in to his eyes. "No Kiri I'm not hiding any thing else. I love you too much to hurt you again. By the way dad's coming home from Tortall." His was telling the truth she knew and she smiled and hugged him. He hugged her back tight. "Let's go home. Mom said Dad was coming home tonight. I want to meet him." They walked back to the house hand in hand.
