Story I wrote when I was a sophomore and writing wasn't what it is today. But I wanted to take a writing class, So it's a short story that had to be more than 3 pages.
“Ever wonder why
nothing exciting has ever happened to you?” Well that's exactly
what
16 year old Tori
Anders thought. Tori lived in Brooklyn, New York with her parents and
three sisters who
were triplets and twin brothers. She felt like no matter what
happened something
exciting always happened to her sisters and brothers. Even in her
family being the
only one without a twin wasn't exciting. You'll also meet Kody Gates,
a
boy who lives with
his parents, twin brother, 5 sisters and a dog named after him
but with a C and a
Cat named Toby. When you first meet him he is getting ready to move
from Houston Texas
towards Brooklyn New York to live with his grandma. This is the
story how their
lives went from nothing exciting to thrilling. So sit back in a
comfortable chair
and get ready to read.
It
all started one day as Tori Anders a Sophomore in school was late for
school,
was looking for a
school assignment that was due that day.
“Tori shouted her
mother “Come downstairs and eat some breakfast the bus is gonna be
here soon”.Not
hearing her mom shouting was still searching for her assignment,
looking in her
closet she pulls out
her clothes, art supplies, magazines. Just everyday stuff thrown in
her closet, was just
about to put all her stuff back into the closet when her eyes
catches this
glimmering. Curious she notices this key necklace with a ruby in the
center
of the key. “I've
never seen this before “And I've had this closet since I was 9, I
wonder..”
“Tori, shouted her
10 year old sister Corinne causing Tori to jump, “What are you
doing?. Mom's been
shouting for you.” “I'm looking for my English Assignment”
replied Tori.
“Well hurry up The
bus is gonna be here any minute and mom says she doesn't have time
to take us to
school, since she has to take the twins with her to a Dentist
appointment.
And I see it over
there in your books sticking out.”
Tori turns to find
that her English books were indeed where her sister had pointed out.
She turned to thank
her little sister but her sister had left the room. Now in a hurry
she grabbed her
assignment and ran downstairs to the hall where her backpack was hung
up. Grabbed it and
giving her mom a hug goodbye ran out to catch the bus. Seeing that
the bus hadn't left
she grabbed her usual seat next to her best friends Rachelle and
Chloe.
“What is that
pretty thing around your neck Chloe asked once Tori was seated.
“Oh this? asked
Tori touching the key necklace. “I found this in my closet just on
the
floor, and look it
has a ruby on it.”
“I don't remember
seeing that and being your best friend you would had told me when
you bought something
right?” asked Chloe.
“Well that the
thing, “I've never seen this before until today.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Kody where are
you?” Asked his twin brother Brant “Mom says we've got to hurry,
our
plane leaves in 30
minutes.”
No answer
“Kody? “I know
you're here somewhere but we don't have time for these stupid hide
and seek games”
Looking in the room
he shared with Kody he finds Kody sitting on his bed looking out his
window.
“Kody come on we
got to go we're gonna miss our plane if you don't hurry.”
“Whats so exciting
about moving to New York Brant?” asked Kody, “I know Mom and Dad
want to be with
Grandma but I don't see why she can't move here”.
Before Brant opened
his mouth to answer their 10 year old sister Stacie pokes her head
in their room and
said
“Boys Dad says
we're leaving right now and he wants you downstairs in exactly 1
minute”.
Than she shuts the
door and left.
“Well you heard
the Captain, so we better march” Kody said looking at Brant.
With that they left
their room taking a last glance at it.
“I am so glad
school is out for the day” replied Tori. But the thing I am not
glad about is
having to clean my
closet out”. “Mom says A friend of hers is coming over with her
grandkids who just
moved today from Texas.
“Texas said
Rachelle
“Wow awesome! I
visited Texas to see my cousins and it amazing you get to”...
“No it isn't
interrupted Chloe “They don't have any malls or anything normal in
Texas..
“Actually they do
Rachelle shot back, “As I said I've been there to visit my cousins
and”..
“Did you visit a
Mall Chloe interrupted again.
“Well no but..
“than how do you
know?”
“Girls interrupted
Tori, “Please, there is no need to argue about whether Texas is
rugged or not cause
I am don't think it matters and if I don't hurry I'm gonna be late in
getting home. “My
mom doesn't like for us to get home after she is”.
With that Tori ran
the rest of the way home leaving her friends still bickering. Arrived
to find out none of
her sisters had made it home.
“I wonder if mom
let them got to a friends' house”.
But as soon as she
had the words out she heard voices outside and found her sisters,
Corinne, Jolene, and
Lorraine walking inside the door.
“Mom texted that
she wasn't gonna be home til a little after five and that Janice and
her family aren't
getting her til six-thirty” spoke Corinne “and she also has the
boys
with her”.
“And she said that
we're suppose to clean our rooms” Jolene spoke up.
“Well than Tori
sighed “lets get this over with than because I'm eager to meet our
guests”.
“Are you sure your
Mom said she was going to meet us at the airport Robert?” Kody's
mom asked “We've
been off the plane, got all our luggage checked out and now have
been sitting here
for over a hour.”
“Don't worry Kate
my mom wouldn't forget replied Kody's dad.
“Daddy! said Jade
Kody's 3 year old sister, “I just saw Grammie walk down this way,
Sure enough their
grandma walked towards them with a bag. After hugs and greeting
were done
Jade asked “Grammie?
“what was in the bag?”
Smiling her grandma
pulled out a carrier and said, “Well I figured Kody wasn't all that
excited to come to
New York so I got him something without asking his parents.”
She laughed at
Jade's gasp and added with a wink “I'm pretty sure your parents
wouldn't mind.”
Handed it to Kody
and told he could open whatever was in the carrier once they got in
the car. “And one
of my friends' invited us to eat dinner at their place since I wasn't
up
to making dinner and
normally when I'm not feeling up to making dinner I eat with them.
“And we're not
gonna go straight home otherwise we're gonna be late in getting
there.”
“Do they have any
kids our age asked Kody knowing his grandma had friends that were
ancient.
“Oh yes replied
his grandma, let's see they have Victoria who's 16, Corinne, Lorraine
and
Jolene who are 10
and those boys who are the sweetest boys ever. They are almost 3.”
“Twins and
triplets thought Kody, “Poor Victoria being the only one without a
close
sibling.”
“Well Let's move
Said Robert, “we don't want to keep them waiting and with that they
left the airport.”
Once inside the car
Kody opened the Carrier to find this Tiny puppy. So many aww filled
the air once he
showed his family the puppy.
“Can I hold him
asked his 14 year old sister Candice, and the puppy was placed in her
lap
at once.
“And we get to
keep him?” Jade asked with big eyes.
Her said her grandma
smiling, “Yes and she's a breeding dog and since Kody knows all
about I thought he
might want to breed her with Cody the dog with his name”.
“That because
Hannah named him when she was little and mom had already mentioned it
was my name”
defended Kody.
“And how did
Hannah get to name Cody Grandma's questioned.
”Cody was named
and given to her by our neighbor when she was 5 but mom and dad said
she couldn't take
care of him til she was a bit older and she didn't want him once she
got older and said
since Kody liked him he has him.” Responded Stacie
“Well I don't know
if they like animals so keep him in his carrier in the car” replied
his
dad. Since according
to your grandma's GPS and and no help service he said glaring
sweetly at his mom,
“looks like we're here so everyone out and remember to mind your
manners.”
”Corinne yelled
Tori “I heard a car drive up, I think our Janice and her family are
here.
“Can you get the
door?”
“Why can't you do
it Tori ?” Corinne yelled back me and the girls are making paper
dolls
right now?” “
“And I'm frosting
the Carrot cake and I don't want the boys to get into it. “Unless
you
want to frost it”
Tori yelled back.
“I'll watch the
boys Corinne said walking inside the kitchen, I feel real shy opening
the
door to total
strangers.”
“If it makes you
feel better I'll do it” said Tori walking towards the door.
“Hello Victoria”
Janice said when Tori opened the door.
Smiling Tori
politely asked them in. Once inside she said,
“My mom went to
the grocery store for something she forgot and my dad is still at
work.”
“Oh pish posh Said
Janice we don't mind waiting.” I'll introduce you to my family.”
“This
is my son Robert and
his wife Kate and these are their kids, Brant, Kody, Candice,
Stacie, Hannah and
Jade, their oldest girl Zoey and her family couldn't come since they
live in Texas.”
“So what can I do”
asked Kody's mom once introductions were over,
“I'm pretty sure
we have everything finished except for the frosting of the cake which
Corinne is
finishing, so we can just relax I guess.” Looking at Candice Tori
asked “Does
any of you want to
go upstairs to the game room?” When everyone nodded Tori lead the
way upstairs, there
she stopped past her room and said “We have all sorts of games
here, so choose
whatever you want to play but our rule is if there's fighting no one
gets
to play and they
have to sit out.”
Kody looked around
at the big game room, the games ranged from board games to xbox,
Wii. He decided to
go ask Tori to play a game with him hoping to get to know this girl
with hair the color
of barley in summer and dimple smiles. Noticing her looking towards
his way he walked
over.
“Hi he said shyly,
“Hi she said
smiling, “Have you found a game to play?”
“No he said “But
I was wondering if you would like to play one with me.”
“I would love to”.
But first you got to tell me how to tell you two apart” she said
pointing
to Brant.
Laughing he said,
“Well for starters my name is Kody and I love animals and I try to
train, breed and
save any animal I find. ”Secondly I have a lot more wavy
strawberry-
blond hair than
Brant does, and Thirdly I tend to like trying to build stuff.” And
lastly
we dress differently
unless we're playing a joke on someone which we tend to do a lot.”
“Other than that
we're pretty much twins, we look alike, talk alike, eat alike, sleep
alike.” “Why my
mom said when we were little we woke up at the same time cried about
the same thing.”
Now question for you, how can you tell your siblings apart?”
Laughing Tori said,
“Not even I can tell them apart but what I do know about them is
that Jolene is the
shyest out of all of us kids, she won't talk not even at home, she
only
says a few words in
a sentence.” “Corinne is the oldest and she's half a inch taller
than
Jolene and Lorraine.
And she is terribly shy of talking to strangers but than warms up
super fast like you
wouldn't had known she was shy“. “Like that she said pointing to
where Corinne and
Stacie were playing “Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader” and
were
laughing. “Lorraine
has the darkest blond hair out of all of them, its naturally
highlighted so most
people don't even think she's a triplet since she looks nothing like
the other two.”
The two little boys Matthew and Mark well let's just say I haven't
found the difference
yet. anything else you want to know about my siblings?” Said Tori.
“Instead of
playing games I would like to get to know you more is that okay with
you?”
Asked Kody.
“Sure shrugged
Tori, “I wouldn't mind getting to know you.”
So they spend the
time talking and didn't realize everyone had gone downstairs until
Tori said,
“Oh my I didn't
realize it was so quiet,”
looking around she
didn't spot anyone. “They must of went downstairs I think we should
go downstairs cause
I'm getting hungry.”
So walking
downstairs Kody noticed a glimmering around Tori's neck and thinking
it would
be kinda weird
asking her he just kept the question to himself.
Tori noticed that
Kody who was talking up a storm before was so quiet, decided to ask
why he was so quiet.
He hesitated for a bit than asked
“Whats that
glimmering thing around your neck?”
Surprised he noticed
her necklace she said
'Its a Key I found
in my closet and it has a ruby in the center that glimmers.” I can
show
you it after dinner
if you'd like?”
Nodding his head,
they went into the dining room to eat. After dinner they went up to
Tori's room, Tori
showed him her key necklace and where she found it. Digging in her
neatly clean and
organized closet she said
“This is where I
found it which is strange since I've never seen it before until
today.”
“I wonder how it
got here thought Kody thinking out loud “It's kinda strange how it
would shown up in
your room, does it belong to anyone in your family?”
Shaking her head
Tori said
“My mom doesn't
allow us girls jewelry til we're 13 or 14 and my mom never wears keys
necklaces when there
are many prettier jewelry than keys.” “So I'm pretty sure..
“Wait I see a
little hole big enough for a key” interrupted Kody “but its not
against a
wall it's on the
floor.”
“I don't know if
we should try it out, since it might lead to the basement or
something
scary” replied
Tori uncertain.
“We won't be long
begged Kody, Besides don't you want to see where's it goes?”
“I guess it won't
hurt” Tori said with excitement in her voice.
Lifting the necklace
from her neck she place the key in the keyhole. Immediately the
wall opened like a
trapdoor with lots of glimmering lights around it. At once stairs
appeared each the
color of a gem. Tori hesitated but felt calm when Kody reach out and
squeezed her hand
saying
“Don't worry I'm
right here.”
Together they walked
down the steps with the door of Tori's room disappearing out of
sight. Before them a
forest grew with birds the color of gems and a river with water the
color of Chocolate
flowed.
“Wow said Tori
“this is definitely not the basement but where are we?. I don't
believe
we're in New York
anymore.”
“You're not”
said a voice causing Kody and Tori to jump.
Turning around they
saw this human or at least it look somewhat like a human. It had the
face of a fairy but
was build like a human.
“We've waited so
long for you to come.”
When it saw their
look of confuse he bowed and said
“Let me introduce
myself I am Kioel, guardian of the between worlds and we've been
waiting for the day
you Victoria and Kody would enter our world.”
“Wait a minute
Kody said “How do you know us? And what do you mean you've been
waiting for us?”
“Are you not Kody
Gates and Victoria Anders?
“Why yes said
Tori, but how do you know us? Haven't you ever heard of Gem Kingdom?”
Shaking their heads
Tori said I've never heard of this place and “I'm sure my parents
haven either.” Now
it was his turn to look confuse.
“Everyone know of
this place as a myth” said Kioel, “I'm guessing the King Heliol
gave
the key to unlock
this world and Victoria found it.” “But we must hurry off to the
halls
of the royal family
for King Heliol and Queen Salemia are waiting.”
So they followed
Kioel towards the hall of the royal family. Once inside the halls of
the
royal family Kioel
said
“Whatever you
don't understand the royal family will answer for its not my place to
tell
you.”
Before them stood
the King and queen both dressed in the color of gems but what
caught their eyes
was the royal family had also the hair of a gem, King Heliol's was
the
color of a Emerald
while Queen Salemia had the hair of ruby.
“Welcome Kody and
Victoria boomed king Heliol “We've been expecting you”
“Excuse me your
highness interrupted Tori “But what I want to know is I guess
everything since I'm
super confused.”
“Ahh Kioel told us
you two were left in the dark.”
When he saw them
exchange glance he said
“Let me tell you
all about it from the beginning.” “Long ago this kingdom of Gems
ruled
peaceful with two
brothers. The oldest brother took on a beautiful wife but soon after
his two sons were
born he died. Now the youngest brother married the widow raising the
boys like his own
sons teaching them everything he knew. “He was given a beautiful
daughter and soon
after she was born he sadly passed away. “Now the sons were old
enough to inherit
the throne and so one day they went to the aged queen and said:
“You're aging and
we're in need of a king who can restore the kingdom to its right
place
so choose of us to
be king and we promise to keep you well cared for in the palace for
as
long as you live.”
“Now the queen knew her sons and had thought of who was to rule
long
before, so she said
“It is done the well caring son has been chosen to rule.” “The
oldest
was made king and
took the throne and but youngest on hearing that got angry but there
was nothing he could
do. “He vowed to get even with the older brother in taking over
what was rightfully
his. The brother tried giving him his own land and another kingdom
but the younger
brother wouldn't take it.” He went away leaving the kingdom in
peace
for a while. The
daughter was given in marriage to a lord and was treated with every
high standard as a
princess. “The king married and the royal couple were given a
beautiful set of
daughters. And that's when the trouble started. “The young brother
plotted to get rid
of the daughters knowing how much the king and queen favored them,
he snatched both of
them sending one daughter into the Human world and the other
daughter he kept as
a prisoner. “And he has destroyed the once beautiful land of Gems,
causing the land to
turn bitter and dark. But then a key would be found in the human
world giving the
person to pass through here. And the key would only land on the place
where the lost
princess was located. Than causing us to locate help and the key also
indicates who the
person is to help. So So than why are we here wondered Kody, Cause
Tori found the key.
I want to know at least my part in helping?” You're a animal lover
aren't you not?
asked the king, Kody nodded wondering what a animal lover had
anything
to do with him. One
of the princess escaped from the dungeon has been turned into a
animal as a curse.
“By the curse she is not able to come to anyone. But can only be
changed back by a
good deed the animal lover has done.” “So you are to try and draw
her
towards you in a act
you do. The act must be done for a enemy no a animal.” And you are
to be a companion
for Tori.” “Protect her doing whatever you have to make sure
she's
safe”
“Does this mean
we're to look for the princess” asked Tori cause the thought of
dark
gloomy dungeons made
her all jumpy.
“No she escaped
into your world, once located the princesses you must find a way to
bring them here and
be careful for there will be temptations.” “No one knows of your
quest for you must
tell no one and must not accept any help from anyone of the human
world no matter how
friendly they might seem.”
“Wow thought Tori
“Here I thought my life was getting boring and now I have a life
and
death quest.”
“One more thing,
said the king as they were leaving, “My brother knows of you two
and
he will do
everything in his power to keep you two separate, he'll try by using
friends
even your parents to
try and separate you.” “So whatever happens stay close together
and work as a team.”
“Here is whenever you need help”, placing a gem in each one's
hand
he said “Put it to
your neck and whenever you need help just take it off you and never
take it off unless
you need help.”
“What if its
jerked off?” asked Tori knowing her little brothers love yanking
stuff off
her neck.
“Whenever this is
on your neck cannot be taken off by another human unless you take it
off.” “Remember
never take off unless needed.”
With those words
they found themselves back in Tori's room with the door to the gem
world gone.
“Kody, its time to
go” yelled his dad from downstairs,
Glancing at Tori he
said
“I'll see you
tomorrow at school?”
“Yes Tori said Its
your first day?”
“I've already got
all my classes assigned to me and where I'm suppose to go because we
came last week, so
yes it's gonna be my first day.
And with that he
left and was gone.
The next day had a
bitter feeling in the air and as Tori dressed for school she thought
about what had
happened last night,
“I wonder if we're
gonna find both princesses today.”
Once at school she
spotted Kody and his brother immediately but none of her best
friends. They hadn't
been on the bus that morning so she decided to find them before
class started. Kody
spotted her, walked over and said
“It was on
Announcement that two girls' houses caught on fire last night so
they're not
at school today.”
“Oh that's
terrible Tori said “Did you catch who's name they were? Nodding
Kody said
“Rachelle Fias and
Chloe Haste, stopped when he saw her face.
“Whats wrong? he
said
“Those are my best
friends and their houses burned down. “No wonder they weren't on
the bus.
Before he could
comfort her the bell rang.
As soon as school
let out for the day Tori gathered her homework assignment getting
ready to leave when
someone pushed her. On the ground she looked up to see the High
street girls the
most popular girls at school laughing and stealing her books. “Hey
someone shouted “it
looks like for once in her life Tori is looked down upon”
They all burst out
laughing. With that they left laughing. Once she found her books
which the girls
didn't steal but dropped Tori picked up her books and walk outside,
There she noticed
one of the popular girl crying, Even more surprised Tori saw Kody ask
her what was wrong.
Walking up to them she heard the girl say,
“I don't have a
ride home usually one of my friends drop me off but her boyfriend
took
her to the mall
today and she thought it would be embarrassing having her friend tag
along.”
“I can give you a
ride said Kody, “I have my car parked outside and since my parents
both gave me and my
brother cars once we had our license so I can drive to school.
Which leaves me the
choose of giving rides.”
Tori was surprise to
hear Kody volunteering to give her a ride after what she and her
friends did to him
today, than was even more surprise to hear him say that Tori was
going along even
though she lived super close to the school. So she went with them and
after dropping the
girl who said her name was Christine and were on the road they
noticed a glimmer
along the side of the road than it grew bigger until it was so bright
they shielded their
eyes. Than as quickly as it happen it ended leaving a girl on the
side
of the road, who
looked a lot like Tori herself.
“Thanks you for
Rescuing me” said the girl, “I am princess Mathialine but in the
human
world I was given
the name Heather.” I thought I would never be rescued.”
“What I want to
know said Tori once they stopped to let her in. “Is how you look
like
me?”
“I wasn't told
that the princess was gonna to look like me. “I mean its kinda cool
but
distracting at the
same time.”
“That I don't know
said the princess “For I have never seen my twin sister nor parents
but had been
reminded countless times by my hateful uncle how well my sister
Kianla
looks a lot like me.
“He's even been
kind enough to show me what my family looks like except for my
sister.
But I never got a
good enough glance for he shuts it down immediately.”
“Where are we to
do now? asked Kody interrupting, We can't take her home with us for
we most definitely
will be questioned and”..
“The king said we
were not to tell anyone” finished Tori, “Well I guess it means we
look
for the last one as
soon as we can.” Otherwise we suffer the consequences of making a
lie up.”
“Why don't you ask
your parents about her staying overnight therefore you wouldn't
have to lie” Kody
suggested.
“Uh I don't think
that's a good idea responded Tori “My parents always make people
talk
about themselves and
what am I to do when they ask where she lives and how we met?”
“I see your point
said Kody, but we have no choice so can we at least try it?”
Turning to the
princess Tori said “You must never tell my parents about you if you
are to
stay over cause your
father instructions was we were suppose to protect you once we
found you and doing
that we can't tell about you and neither can you.”
When the princess
agreed, Tori turned to Kody and said “We'll meet you here tomorrow
morning since
tomorrow is Saturday.”
Once at Tori's
house, Tori thought ”Should I introduce her to my mom and younger
siblings or should I
just lead her up to my room and than mention her later?”
Before she could
decide her mom came up as soon as the door opened. Tori noticed that
her mom wasn't happy
as soon as she saw the look on her face.
“Where have you
been? asked her mom, “Your sisters got home almost 3 hour ago and
you're just now
showing up?” I don't want excuses this time. I want to know where
you
were.”
“I got a ride home
with Kody” said Tori hoping she didn't have to explain with her mom
face told her she
didn't believe her she added “And than we bumped into one of my
friends from school
and I invited her to stay overnight if that was all right with you.”
With that her mom
noticed heather standing there.
“Oh said her mom
her face changing, “Well come right in and Lorraine will show you
Tori's room while I
finish talking with Tori.”
Once Heather walk
away with Lorraine her mom turned and said. “Now Victoria I know
you just met Kody
but he's already has made you forget about your responsibilities and
so that doesn't
happen again I don't want you to get rides with him anymore, you need
to walk home with
the girls and I don't think its a good idea you hang around him. So
only in class you
can see him other than that you can't be friends with him.”
Tori could not
believe what she was hearing, her mom never acted like this.
remembered
the king's words
“My brother knows
of you two and he will do everything in his power to keep you two
separate, he'll try
by using friends even your parents to try and separate you whatever
happens stay close
together and work as a team.
“But how am I
suppose to if I just got told I'm never to talk to him again”
thought Tori.
“By the way her
mom continue, Tori had forgotten that her mom was still in the room.
“Yes mom?”
“Did you notice
that the girl Heather there she looks a lot like you?”
“How so?
“Well for starters
spoke her mom, “She has the same color of hair you do and I know
none of your sisters
have it for they all have blonde hair and no one in our family ever
has brown hair like
you.” Now Tori's full attention was on her mom,
“What do you mean
no one in our family has brown hair like me?”
“Well I mean you
being adopted in all..”
“Wait said Tori
interrupting “Since when did I never hear I was adopted, do you
mean
to say I'm not your
flesh and blood?”
“Well no we were
told to keep you for if you were ever told that you”.
With that her mom
covered her mouth, “Anyways I gotta get dinner on.”
She turned around
and left causing Tori's thoughts to jamble.
“I'm adopted and I
don't even know who my real parents are, why did my parents never
tell me.” What was
mom gonna to say afterward. “Well heather's waiting so I must go”.
Which she turned and
she ran upstairs. Opening the door she said
“Heather I think
your Uncle...
seeing her little
sisters in there she walked in and said
“Girls please
leave my room for I need to tell Heather something real important and
you
are not allowed to
hear.”
After she closed the
door after her sisters she said quietly,
“I think your
uncle messed up my mom for she already has forbidden me to talk to
Kody
and I need to talk
to him.
“Than go talk to
him, besides I heard you and your mom's conversation and I have the
feeling if we don't
go now all will be lost.”
“What do you mean
if we don't go now?” “We can't go anywhere now replied Tori
“I need to get
home and so do you explained Heather.
Seeing Tori's
confused look she said,
“I just realized
who you are and you're not Tori Anders well I mean you are but in a
weird sense of a
way. “So can you call Kody and have him meet at the park in 20
minutes?”
Uh sure let me get
my cellphone replied Tori still confused.
Grabbing it she
dialed Kody's number relieved when he answered it on the first ring.
“Kody we need you
to meet me at the park A.S.A.P.
He didn't answer,
“Kody?
“Sorry Tori my
brother answered the phone and decided to play a trick on you.”
Responded Kody “Why
do you want me to meet you at the park? You sound kinda scared
is everything
alright?”
“I'll tell you at
the park, you just need to meet me and Heather there right now.
With that she hung
up.
“I'm gonna to tell
mom we're going to the park” Tori told Heather.
After getting
permission from her mom Tori and Heather left for the park. On
arriving
they spotted Kody
there sitting on a bench. He smiled when he saw them causing his
dimples to show.
“Hi he said “so
whats so important?”
“I'll start said
Heather “Tori found out she was adopted after her mom talked to her
saying she was
suppose to not be seen with you and I heard the whole conversation
and
than it hit me back
when we were baby before we were snatched that Tori has exactly
what my twin has in
her eyes, it turns purple in confusement not to mention she looks
like me and her mom
thought so too, so if we leave now we can get back but we need to
sneak you there oh
and my uncle's minions are on their way,”
“I thought it was
weird I could sense it” said Tori “but than again I always sense
frightening stuff.”
“That's exactly
what I sense” said Heather. “So we better leave now.”
With that they all
ran towards Tori's house. Sure enough Minions were everywhere
searching and
tearing things apart, one minion was tying up Tori's family or
adopted
family while telling
another to watch the door in case they escaped.
“How are we to get
in? asked Kody whispering, “There's minions everywhere and we
don't want to be
seen.
“Hmm thought Tori
“Where is a place they haven't searched, “Ah ha she thought, “I
bet
the minions are
afraid of a room that I used to always go to when scared, I
remember.”
“Kody, Heather if
we go down to the basement they won't ever find us and I had my
parents give me the
room that connects to my bedroom and that's the only one that
does.”
So racing to the
basement they went in sure enough no minions were in sight so they
ran
on towards Tori's
room, placed the key in place and found themselves back in the forest
of gem colors and a
chocolate river. Kioel greeted them happily and said
“Wow you're
already back?” “We have to hurry” Kody said “Minions are in
our world
about to find us,
can you get us to the hall of the royal family now as fast as you
can.”
Smiling Kioel said
use your gems. Taking off their gems they found themselves in the
hall of the royal
family.
“Well done Boomed
the king as soon as he spotted them. “Whats suppose to happen
now?” asked Tori
“We followed directions and now what?”
“Kody and Tori my
daughter, you not only rescued one but you found out that Tori was
really the other
lost princess.
“What of my
family? asked Tori “They are back there with the minions.” “The
minions
can't harm them, as
for the minions they can come back anytime but as for your travels
you're not quite
done yet. “My brother has another plot and he's determine to take
over
for good. He can't
harm you no longer.”
“Does this mean we
say goodbye to Kody” inquired Heather for she knew her sister
wouldn't want Kody
to leave.
“Oh no Kody is not
going anywhere, he still has travels ahead, So instead of saying
goodbye forever
you'll only say goodbye for a while.”
“May I return or
am I never to return to the human land Father?” asked Tori
“I'm afraid while
my brother is still plotting it would not be safe for both of you to
remain here so you
Tori will remain in the human world until needed.”
And with those words
Tori and Kody found themselves once again back in Tori's room.
Smiling Tori said
“I've always thought my life was so dull and nothing exciting but I
would have never
dreamed I was actually a princess of Gem kingdom.”
“Expect the
Unexpected replied Kody smiling back. “We must never expect
dullness in
our lives but
excitement no matter what.”
“Wanna go see if
you can Stay for dinner” asked Tori racing towards the door. “I
don't
think my mom would
mind.”
“Sure I would love
to stay“ said Kody also heading towards the door.
With that they shut
the door to Tori's room.
The end
