Chapter 1
Years pasted and the twins were now seven years old. They were smarter then average and very active. Sports, plays, and musicals they did them all at school, but always together never alone. They fell in love with the theater. The acting, the music, the singing they called to the twins captivating them with all the different ways that a story can be told.
Even if they did everything together they did find different things that they loved, for Jin it was the guitar and singing and for Clair it was the flute and dancing. Oh Clair sang as much as her brother and he dance just as much but it was not the areas that they loved with all their hearts. Their mother would just shake her head with a fond look and mumble, "Just like their father," under her breath and join wide in to the songs and dances her children created wherever they went.
But not all was happy and well with the small family of three. The head of the family Shandi moved her children and herself every month or so. The twins grew up always on the move and never having friends but each other for very long. They loved their mother and they were happy, but they couldn't help but resent her a bit for never giving them an answer for their nomadic lifestyle. Whenever they asked she would just smile sadly at them and apologize. They eventually stopped asking just like they stopped asking about their father, as that topic would upset Shandi.
Right now the family was staying in a small country town in Kansas and had been for almost a week.
Inside the apartment they were renting the seven year olds twins were putting on a show for their mother with Jin playing his mini guitar and Clair her flute. Clapping her hand Shandi said to her children, "Wonderful you too are going to be great musicians when you grow up."
"Really?" exclaimed an excited Clair.
"Of coarse we are or do you doubt mama!" Jin responded to his sister just as excited as her. Knocking on the door interrupted their bickering.
"Open up, this is the government!" A man yelled behind the door to the apartment.
As soon as she heard the knocking Shandi had grabbed the twins wrists and had dragged them to her bedroom. She let them go and began to search her room. Finding a per-prepared old string bag under her bed she shoved it into Jin's arms, who had his mini guitar hanging on his back. Opening her drawer she grabbed a necklace and kneeled in front of her children. Taking off her pendent of a sun that she always wore she put it into Clair's hands, who like her brother had her flute hanging around her neck. "Take this pendent and find Sinbad of Sindria, tell him that I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise."
Before either twin could ask any questions their mother hugged them. "Know that I love you my stars," Shandi whispered into their ears. Withdrawing from them allowing the twins to see her tears she put the necklace that she took from the drawer around both of their necks.
To their shock the mirror on the necklace began to glow and their bodies began to disappear. They vanished from this world right as the men from the government broke down the door to the bedroom. The last thing they saw was their mother's victorious but sad smile, then their vision went white.
