Kayonee and Lieanae sat talking in the window seat of their room. While the teens were twins, they weren't identical. Kayonee, called Kay, had wavy long blond hair and green eyes. Lieanae, called Lii, had straight long black hair and ice blue eyes. Kay was the older of the twins by 30 minutes and she was an inch taller. When most people saw the twins, they weren't even sure if Kay and Lii were related.

"They won't notice," Lii said as she opened the window.

"Doesn't it say something when our own family won't notice when we leave," questioned Kay.

"Yes," replied Lii. "It says that they have other things on their minds and assume we are there. Beside they never really pay attention to us. It's like they think because we're twins we don't need any one else. But we do. Yes, we need each other, but we also need other people. Ever since Beldaran started looking for a husband Mother hasn't paid much attention to us. Father used to have a little time. But now he has none since he has to make sure Geran doesn't make any mistakes. When Mother and Father aren't doing those things, they're with the younger ones."

"Why do they spend the time with just the younger ones and not all of us?"

"Because our little sisters need their parents more. That's want Mother said when I asked her."

"Do they think we out grew our need for parents," wondered Kay.

"I believe that Mother and Father think that the little ones need them more," Lii stated.

Thinking back to their original conversation, Kay said, "Well, what would we take?"

"What," asked Lii, unsure what her twin was talking about.

"If we did leave, what would we take," Kay clarified for Lii.

"I'm not sure. Probably just some clothes."

"Just clothes? Lii, we would be leaving forever. We would need clothes, personal belongings, tools, and more," Kay stated strongly.

"When would we leave?" answering her own question Lii said, "I think we should leave after the Midsummer ball. I mean, we have to be at that ball. If we're not then we know people will start looking for us. If we leave after, then there is nothing that we have be at until Father's birthday, and that's in the middle of winter."

"I agree with you. The Midsummer ball is in two weeks. Mother has to plan it and meet with all those people, and work with Beldaran on her dress. Father has to have the summer court. Neither of them will be paying any attention to us. Our younger sisters will be outside playing and riding their horses. Beldaran will be out visiting suitors and Geran will be at the summer court.

"So leaving right after the Midsummer ball will be the best time for us. Two weeks in order to gather everything will need. At least we won't have to find a ship to take us off the isle. That makes things much easier," Kay said.

"I know. Most of the Chereks wouldn't take us with out asking the captain's permission, and we know most of the captains," replied Lii.

"Well, we don't have to leave that way," remarked Kay.

"So, I'll gather all the clothes we'll need, the tents, and the cooking utensils. Kay, you gather the food, blankets, and the sewing tools. Can you think of anything else we would need," asked Lii.

"Nothing, but I think we should leave a note for the family. So they don't worry, even if it's only a little bit," Kay said.

"We wouldn't want the note to be found for a while. Where would we hide it," questioned Lii.

"In the one place that no one would ever look," stated Kay.

"There?" Lii almost yelled.

Shushing Lii, Kay said, "Why not? No one would think to look there and it's only moved once a year."

"Because that would give us away," replied Lii.

"How?"

"By…," Lii trailed off thinking over the idea. "You're right. That's a good place. Wouldn't it be fun to see their faces when they find out?"

"Yeah, it would be. But we'll be long gone by then."

Hearing someone calling them, Kayonee and Lieanae left their room, promising to finish the conversation as soon as possible.

A/N: This is the first story I've written. As I have never thought I'm good at writing, it is a surprise that I'm writing this. But as it has been nagging at me for a few months I thought I should write it. I'll will try to update at least once a week. If I don't please have patience, as a college student, I don't have a lot of free time.

Thank you. Any comments are welcome.
