I followed the tall man with the kind eyes up to the big gate. A gate to keep out or keep in I didn't know. The man and the lady in the big white room said he would take me home, but I don't have a home. The big stone building looked unfriendly and cold. I needed a hand to hold onto, but the that used to be there – wasn't. The kind-eyed man turned and gave me a warm smile and extended his hand for me to take; as if he knew what I needed for my security. I took his hand and walked closely to him, almost as if I were a small shadow. I loved my other half the only other person in the world who could understand, and now she was gone. I felt tears in my eyes, but I refused to let them spill over. I would not have these new people see that I was weak. Why would they take me here? To a place where I would be different? To a place where I would be alone? I looked around at the front lawn. A soccer game was going but it stopped to watch this new strange little girl pass by. I felt their gazes burning into me tearing me apart, as if they knew what happened. I wanted to run away but I kept walking forward. I realized at that moment that if I felt there was nothing to keep walk forward for I would walk for Cara, my twin, because she couldn't.
