The Meaning Of Sanity ~ Chapter's Fourteen,Fifteen and The End!

[PennyTheCorgi]

Ok guys, here it is. I know its totally later the I meant it to be and the pictures aren't that great (except the first one!) but I'm working on improving the pics for further chapters. Also, a big thank you to Dorka for photoshopping the first picture for me, Thank You! :)

Chapter One

The dream is always the same. I'm running, running so fast that the streets and people around me are blurred. Running until my lungs burn and my breath comes in short, hard gasps. I turn a corner and-

*BeepBeepBeep*

*Thunk*

I wake up. I never remember the dream but somehow I always know its the same one. Sometimes, i wisp of remembrance will creep forward before darting back into the deepest corners of my mind. Even though I can't remember it, it always makes me feel so alone, like somethings missing.

"Atleast I have you" I tell Kirby. Kirby's my Husky, I got her from the shelter when I was sixteen and she's my best friend. I tell her everything, even if she never answers.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/ChapterOnePicThree.jpg
I glance at the clock. Crap, I have half an hour until class! Kirby watches with a bemused doggy smile on her face as I hurriedly race from room to room, grabbing clothes and makeup before leaping into the bathroom and slamming the door. Ten minutes later, I'm showered, dressed and have managed to cram half a slice of last nights pizza into my mouth before hurdling out the door.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/ChapterOnePicFour.jpg
I skid around the corner and plow into Griffin, almost knocking him off his feet.
'Jeez Kyla, don't you need a licence to go that speed!" He asks, jokingly.
"Sorry, I over slept again. It was that weird dream..." I mumble, glancing at the school and praying Mrs. Meyers hasn't locked the doors yet.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/ChapterOnePicFive.jpg
Griffin snorts. "You mean the dream you can never remember?"
"It's not funny Griff, I think that dream is important!" I reply, trying to keep the hurt out of my voice.
" Is so important you don't remember it, right?" Griffin scoffs, rolling his eyes.
"I have to go to class..." I mumble before darting off.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/ChapterOnePicSix.jpg

"God, don't you even own a clock!" Cali trills, the minute I'm in the door.
"Mr Wyndot is sooo gonna report you to the dean for this! Adds her friend Fifi. " what is this, like the fifth time!"
Cali Morrison and Fiona "Fifi" Laurence are the kind of people that make your life hell in highschool then somehow, you manage to find people just like them at college to make sure you stay miserable. Cali's dad is the son inlaw of Malcolm landgraab, the biggest realestate tycoon in the state and Fifi's parents are both big time lawyers.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/ChapterOnePicSeven.jpg
" Sorry, us poor people can't tell time." I say, oozing sarcasm.
Cali rolls her eyes. "Jeez Kyla, your such a-"
"Hi Mr. Wyndot!" Blurts Fifi. She gets a mock serious look on her face. "Did you know Kyla was late again."
"No, but I was late also so I don't really think it matters." he replies, smiling.
Kudos to the best teacher ever. Mr. Wyndot is one of the few teacher that doesn't think of Cali and Fifi as "The rich girls they should be really nice to" but as any other student.
"Girls, why don't you find a seat so we can begin" Mr. Wyndot says.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/ChapterOnePicEight.jpg
Cali sends a lazer glare my way. "What ever you say sir" She says, batting her eyes and sauntering past him in perfect size two designer jeans. "Of course sir" Says Fifi, copying Cali innocent schoolgirl act. On her way past Fifi "Accidentally" brushes her hand against Mr. Wyndot's leg. A flare of jelously flickers through me but I quickly suppress it. Mr. Wyndot is one of the better teachers but no one can resist Cali and Fifi forever.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/ChapterOnePicNine.jpg
"Hey, you still mad at me?" Griffin asks later that day at Groove. Groove is a club not far from the college that I go to after class. Its not the best club ever, the floors are scratched and the wallpaper is peeling some, but it has live music sometimes and Cali wouldn't be caught dead there so I like it.
"No, I'v just had a bad day. And your sister was a total *****!" I snap
Griffin Chuckles. " Yeah, that's normal for her."
"It still sucks." I pout. "And you were a jerk!"
"Sorry, I know that dreams important to you, forgive me?" He replies, kissing my neck.
" It's not like I have a choice, right?" I say, rolling my eyes.
" Hahaha, no one is immune to my charm!" Griffin jokes.
I love Griffin, but sometimes I wonder if he'll ever learn to be serious.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/ChapterOnePicTen.jpg
That night, the dream comes again. This time, it's different though. This time, after I turn the corner I remember what I see. Blurs of People and buildings, flashes of sound and color. I turn a corner and see, me.

[Loco]

Wow, Sarah! I love it! It's very vivid, and the dream-thing is really cool. Fantastic start!

[jingxia]

I love it, Sarah! :D All of your pics are great, can't wait to see what will happen next! <3

And Mr. Wyndot is one hot teacher! ;)

[jenny]

hey Penny, a new story, looks great!!!...your pics look so nice, don't worry about that:D...

[exactduckwoman]

Yay, another Penny story! I'm excited to see what will happen to Kyla, and what she's remembering in her dream.

Ten minutes later, I'm showered, dressed and have managed to crap half a slice of last nights pizza into my mouth before hurdling out the door.

Might want to fix that typo, though. Sorry to point it out, but it's kind of a funny one :haha: Yeah I'm immature, I know.

[PennyTheCorgi]

Lol, oops! I'll fix that... :lol:

[kt4prez]

Great story so far :D I love your characters. They are so believable.

[PennyTheCorgi]

Chapter Two

"You saw...you?" Griffin asks, sounding skeptical. Its the next morning and I'm trying to tell Griffin about the new developments in my dream mystery.
"Yeah!...at least, I think it was me..." I say " I'm not really sure, it was just a flash."
Kirby comes over and sets her head in my lap, omitting a sad, whine. " Why don't you take Kirby for a walk, get some fresh air." Griffin suggests, gently.
"Um, sure I guess. Let me get dressed..." I say. I drift towards the bedroom, feeling slightly like I'v left my brain somewhere.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/ChapterTwoPicOne.jpg
" Come one Kirby" I call, after managing to rummage around and find some clothes that are passably clean and not too wrinkled. Kirby jumps around, yapping like a puppy. She's usually pretty somber but she turns into a total goofball if you even mention walks. I open the door and she's off like a shot, me trailing behind her, trying not to loose side of her curly tail. I know what your thinking; I should put Kirby on a leash, right? Well, if you want to try then be my guest. Last time I tried to walk her on a leash I ended up with a dislocated shoulder and when I went to look for the leash later, she's eaten it.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/ChapterTwoPicTwo.jpg
Kirby leads me to the park, her favorite place in the world.Well, besides the kitchen.
Its Friday morning so theres not many people there, most are busy with loads of weekend homework. Kirby charges towards me with a gnarled branch in her mouth, barking at me until I give in and throw it. After awhile she gets sick of the game and saunters of in search of something better to do.I plop down on the grass and stare at the sky,watching the clouds drift by.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/ChapterTwoPicThree.jpg
I must drift off for a second because my eyes snap open as I hear a shrill scream behind me. Cali is shrieking wildly and trying to swat fat drops of water and muddy paw prints off her designer clothes. " Look what your stupid mongrel did!" She screams, spotting me. " I'll make sure its put down for this!"Without thinking I leap up and in one motion I shove as hard as I can. Cali lands with a loud splash in the fountain, drenched in cold, dirty water. I'm half way acrossed the street before I hear her scream.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/ChapterTwoPicFour.jpg
I dash madly acrossed streets and around people and cars. An odd feeling of deja vu creeps through me. I turn a corner and crash onto something solid, falling hard to the cement. I squabble around madly, trying to get my bearings so I can take off again before Cali catches up to me. I whip around and suddenly I'm staring into a pair of familiar, bright blue eyes. Darkness creeps in around the edges of my vision, I shake my head to clear the fog but the darkness creeps closer. Distantly, I can hear someone screaming, is that me? The last thing I hear before the blackness wins over is Cali's voice. "Oh my god, there's two of you?"
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/ChapterTwoPicFive.jpg

[Loco]

*gasps* Wow! Dude! So messed up. I really love how this is written, it feels very light. Kyla's so pretty, and Kirby is gorgeous!

[jingxia]

Wow, that's odd! Twins separated at birth? Hehee, she finally taught Cali a lesson, yay! :D

I love it!

[breena_SC]

Fab story,fab pics! Twins yippeee! :yippee: *ok excitment over* Update soon!

[jenny]

cool idea! great story Penny:)

[wicked_t0y]

its a great story so far. and the pics are awesome too :D
wicked

[amalinaball]

Hey, nice twist. Is she Tucker's daughter? Cause if she is, then it is a plausible explanation for her to have a secret twin...I think...

Awesome so far, keep it up! :D

[PennyTheCorgi]

LOL, yup. She's Tucker's daughter. :) You find out more about the twin in the next chapter, I'll work on it and try to post it tomorrow.

[PennyTheCorgi]

I posted two chapters together because they
were so short.Sorry, the pics aren't that great. My game
was kinda glitchy and alot of the things I wanted to do
didn't seem to work. Also, keep an eye out for another
story by me out soon. I'm not sure when but probably
some time between saturday and tuesday. It's called
Forgotten.

The Meaning Of Sanity Chapter Three and Four

Chapter Three

“Hello, dad?” I say, my voice quivering “Do you want to
tell me why I’m looking at, well, at me!”
“Uh, Kyla? Are you high?” he asks. Something in the
background crashes and I can hear my mother yelling
something.
“Dad! No, I’m not high ok!” I reply.
“Then what do you mean your looking at…you?” he asks.
“I, uh, I dunno…I ran into this girl and she’s…me!” I say,
my voice reaching an annoyingly high pitch.
“She’s…you?” Dad replies “Um, Kyla…I know I’m getting
old but, that doesn’t make any sense.”
“Argh, ok. I ran into this girl near the park. I mean
literally “ran into her” and she looks just like me!
What’s going on dad…?” My throat catches and my
eyes start to tear up. Damn it, I hate to cry.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/snapshot_f2b7df76_32c629d3.jpg
“Oh my god Kyla… “He murmurs. Dad is quiet for a
second; I can hear a muffled sound on the other
end of the phone.
“Dad? Hello, are you still there?”
“You found her…” He says, laughing and crying
at the same time.
“I found who? Wait, you knew about her!” I yelp.
“You found her, you found Kamryn!” he says, quietly.
“Who the hell is Kamryn?” I yell.

Chapter Four


The woman’s eyes are wild and bloodshot; she
grips the rails of the bed tightly and screams in pain.
With one last scream and a push the small infant
slides into the world. Her thin wails blending with the
screams of her mother. Without allowing the mother
so much as a glimpse of her baby, the nurse hurriedly
picks up the child and carries it off to the nursery.
With shaking hands the nurse administers a small dose
of medicine to the squealing child, the baby immediately
falls into a deep sleep. The nurse carefully settles the
infant into a bag hidden behind the door before returning
to the hospital room.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/snapshot_f2b7df76_32c624df.jpg
“I’m so sorry Ma’am, she didn’t make it.” The nurse says,
sounding solemn. The woman’s heartbroken sobs echo
down the halls. A tiny screech breaks through the sobs
and the nurse hurriedly scoops the child out of her
bassinette and hands her to her mother. “You still have
this little one to care for; you must be strong for her.
What’s her name?” The women smiles loving at the small
infant. "She is my everything. My sweet, little Kyla.”
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/snapshot_f2b7df76_12c627c9.jpg
The halls are dark, patients sleep peacefully in there
rooms and the steady beat of heart monitors keeps
tune with the hum of an air conditioner. The nurse
walks briskly down the hall. With her she carries an
old shopping bag. A tiny whimper sounds from the
bag, so soft that no one hears it. Pushing open the
doors, the nurse disappears into the night.

[Loco]

*gasps* Wow, that's so dramatic! Evil nurse... stealing her baby... will we find out why? Fantastic chapters, I really want to find out more right away!

[jenny]

wow, Penny, very dramatic.......good thing now adays that dosen't happen, not like that anyways.......at least in my case there were like 10 people in my room when I gave birth, my baby wasn't going anywhere.....lol

[kt4prez]

Awesome update. I'm curious to find out what happened to baby Kamryn.

[amalinaball]

That naughty nurse (I mean that in a rouge-ish way, not a kinky one, just to clarify) :D !

Fancy smuggling another woman's baby out in a paper bag!? Bleh. I'm a twin myself, and I'm really glad that didn't happen to my sister...most of the time.

Awesome story! I think it's cute how they both have 'K' names.

[PennyTheCorgi]

*gasps* Wow, that's so dramatic! Evil nurse... stealing her baby... will we find out why? Fantastic chapters, I really want to find out more right away!

Yup, not for a few chapters though, the next flashback will explain why. :)

[.~*Iris*~.]

aaaaaaah now this Me like! :)

it's so good Penny! the pictures are great and Kyla is so pretty!

[krazy_jade]

Fancy smuggling another woman's baby out in a paper bag!? Bleh. I'm a twin myself, and I'm really glad that didn't happen to my sister...most of the time.

How do you know you weren't a triplet? lol ;)

I'm loving the story, Its a nice fast paced one but not too fast that the attention to detail is still there :D Keep updating!!

[amalinaball]

Hmm...krazy jade, you have a point there...I always felt somebody 'stole' half of my sister's brain...kidding! But that would be freaky. ;)

I hope there is an update soon. This is getting interesting.

[PennyTheCorgi]

Chapter Five

I‘m still in shock. After spending three hours on the
phone with my dad, listening to him explain how he
had to look up my medical records when I went to
summer camp when I was ten and that’s how he
found out I had a twin sister that supposedly died
but had no death record. At first I was scared,
what do you say to a sibling you’ve never know?
“Hello, I’m your long lost twin sister that you never
met because you were stolen from the hospital.”
Oh yeah, that’ll go over well! After awhile though,
I was angry. How could he find something like this
out and not tell anyone a.k.a not tell me! Its not
like he’s a naturally secretive person either, the
man can go into a twenty minute conversation
about a weird looking freckle on his butt!
(You laugh, I was late for a third grade play
because he was having that conversation
with my math teacher. I think I got and A+
on that next test out of pity.)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/chpt5pic1.jpg
I didn’t sleep very well that night. I didn’t have
that dream again (wonder of wonders, why could
that be!) but I honestly don’t think I slept for a
long enough period of time to dream at all. I kept
going over what I was supposed to do now.
Should I leave her alone and try to go on with
my life? Yeah right, that’s something you can
forget really easy! Around six in the morning I
finally fell asleep, the alarm rang at seven.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/chpt5pic2.jpg
“Hey! I heard you pushed Cali into the fountain
yesterday, awesome!” chuckles Griffin, jogging
up next to me as I walk into class.
“I don’t wanna talk about it...” I mumble.
“Ok, sure.” Says Griffin, nodding his head like
one of those stupid bobble head dolls. “What
about that dream, did you have it again last night?”
“I don’t wanna talk about that either” I snap.
“Ok, fine. No need to be rude. Are you ok? You
look like crap!” Griffin says
“Thanks for the input oh fashion guru!” I growl.
Griffin looks like he wants to snap something
back but he never gets a chance because just
as we turn the corner, I smack into the very
person I want to see the least right now, Cali.
I’m already prepping myself for a smart ***
comment to whatever the pampered princess
has to say which was why I’m so surprised
when she does speak. “Kyla! Um, hi…sorry…
didn’t mean to bump into you…uh, bye!”
With that Cali quickly skirts the corner and
disappears into a classroom, leaving me gaping
like a fish. “Did she just apologize to you!” Griffin squeaks.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/chpt5pic3.jpg
“Long story…” I mumble. “Oddly enough, I find
myself with plenty of free time, now spill!’ Griffin
says, still sounding shocked.
“Well, after I pushed Cali into the fountain
yesterday I freaked out and ran away, I ran
around this corner and right into-“
“You!” Griffin squeaks.
“Yeah…how did you know?” I ask.
Griffin raises a shaking hand and pointed
acrossed the room at me, uh…her.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/chpt5pic4.jpg

Chapter Six

“Class, may I introduce our newest student,
a transfer from Arizona, Kamryn Barnes.”
Mr. Wyndot says. There’s a small spattering
of applause and a few snickers. Ugh, up
until now a piece of me still thought that
maybe dad was getting Alzheimer’s a little
early, but I guess he was right, I do have a
twin. Creepy twin girl (Yes, I know she has
a name but this is still too weird) gives a shy
smile and looks away. “Kamryn, you can take
a seat at A4” Mr.Wyndot says, smiling. A4? She
can’t sit in A4! I sit in A5! This is going to be a
very long class.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/chpt6pic1.jpg
Oh well, I shuffle a crossed the room towards
my seat. As I pass near him I can hear Mr.Wyndot
talking to Kamryn. “I know the curriculum is a
little different but she should catch up pretty
quickly and-“. He makes a choking noise as
he catches sight of me mid sentence, looking
franticly from me to Kamryn. “Don’t feel bad,
I didn’t know about her either until recently.”
I tell him.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/chpt6pic2.jpg
Just as I thought, it turns out to be an
excruciatingly long class. Not only can I
not concentrate with Kamryn sitting next
to me but I can hear the rest of the class
whispering to one another (Hmm, what
could they be talking about?) and I know
that by lunch everyone in the school will
know about my freaky secret. If you think
the news of Amanda Hutch’s pregnancy went
fast imagine how fast the news that I have
a secret twin will be known.
I spend most of the class watching the clock
intently, willing it to speed up but unfortunately
it appears to have a reverse effect. With just a
few minutes left to wait Kamryn stops writing and
turns to me. “Kyla, I just wanted to say tha-
“BRRRRRIIIINNNNGGGG!!! Without waiting for her
to finish I grab my bag and run for the door. Safely
outside I dash behind a stone wall and plop down
to rest. Its not that I’m out of shape its just that I
normally don’t have to make last minute escapes
from my newly found twin. After a catch my breath
I stand up to leave and immediately smack into
Kamryn (Obviously I need to watch where I’m going
more since I seem to keep bumping into people.)
“ACK!” I scream, as much as I’m use to bumping into
people it still manages to scare the crap out
of me every time.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/chpt6pic3.jpg
“Hey…I know this is still weird to you but I
though maybe we could go somewhere and
talk or something. I’d like to get to know you
better since we’re sisters and everything.”
Kamryn mumbles.
“Yeah…um, maybe some other time, I’m kinda
busy and...” I trail off, unable to think of why
exactly I’m busy.
“That’s ok, if you don’t want to talk to me that’s
cool…” She says. She’s trying to sound cheerful
but I can tell she’s disappointed.
“It’s not that I don’t want to talk to you it’s just
that… (Cr@p! Why can’t I ever come up with a
good excuse when I need it!) *sigh* sure, I guess
I have a little time to spare…”
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/chpt6pic4.jpg
After two hours and more lattes then I can count
I’ve learned enough information about Kamryn
Alexandra Barnes to write a book. I know her
favorite color (Purple), her favorite food
(Chicken Caesar Wraps) and her favorite
movie (Mr. and Mrs. Smith). I know that
she has a dog named Kisses and that she’s
an only child (lucky!). I don’t know much
about her parents though; ever time I bring
them up she changes the subject. I do
know one thing, we're more alike then I thought.

[lindsay--lou]

sweet story !

[PennyTheCorgi]

cute update Penny:D.....hey where are their clothes from?

Kamryn's shirt is by hystericalparoxysm @ MTS2, pants by starsims. I'm not sure about Kyla but I'll check. :)

[xxmeghan]

Great story!

[Loco]

Nice update! Poor Kyla, that must be so weird... I hope they start to get on okay!

[PennyTheCorgi]

Note: I know it's kinda weird that chapter seven is only one paragraph but I didn't think it looked right when I made it one chapter.

Chapter Seven

~*~ Kamryn ~*~

When I was little I use to make up imaginary friends so I had someone to play with. Its not that I had trouble making friends, it’s just that I always felt kind of empty, like something was missing. No matter what I did I could never make that feeling go away. After awhile I learned to ignore that feeling, shove it away to the back of my brain. It was still there though, I learned to keep it away pretty good but as soon as I was alone at night, here it would come. Seeping out of brain like a dense fog to envelope me in loneliness. But then I met Kyla, and the fog… it just went away.

Chapter Eight

~*~ Kamryn ~*~


You know all those story you hear about twins who are separated at birth then later find each other and they have all these creepy things in common like they’re parents have the same names or they have siblings the same age? Well, that’s not us. For one thing, I was an only child and Kyla had three siblings. For another her childhood was happy, mine sucked.My “parents” were James and Susan Barnes. They got married straight out of college. Well, dad was out of college, mom was out of high school. At first everything was great, they got a nice house, found good jobs and decided to try for a baby. A couple months went by and no baby but they didn’t worry, they just kept trying. After eighteen months of trying they decided to try a fertility clinic. After trying a test at the clinic there was no need to try further, Susan was sterile.
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/KarmaCorgi/Chpt8Pic2.jpg
Susan was devastated, James didn’t give up. He adopted me. Actually, they didn’t meet requirements to adopt so James “bought” me. Of course, I didn’t know anything about this until I was much older. He loved me the minute he saw me, Susan didn’t. After all, I wasn’t her baby; I was some other women’s baby. I didn’t even look like them. I had tan skin and black hair. Both my adoptive parents had light skin and light hair.
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/KarmaCorgi/chpt8pic3.jpg
At first, James though that she’d warm up to me with time. He was wrong though, Susan would never like me. She ignored my cries for attention and the jobs of feeding, bathing and caring for me went solely to James.
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/KarmaCorgi/chpt8pic4.jpg
It didn’t bother me. I loved him more then anything and he loved me. By the time I was three I stopped trying to get Susan to love me and started ignoring her. I my daddy and everything was good.
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/KarmaCorgi/chpt8pic5.jpg
Unfortunately, I turned out to be very unlucky. Years went by and my turned from a cute, chubby baby into a thin, quiet girl. I don’t remember when it started, maybe it was that way all along and I was too little to notice. Most nights, it started after dad got home from work and went long into the night.
I grew to ignore it much like I ignored Susan. I grew to be silent and invisible.
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/KarmaCorgi/chpt8pic6.jpg
Sometime around when I turned ten the fighting stopped. At first I was perplexed, but then Susan started throwing up in the morning and after that I noticed her stomach slowly growing. She was pregnant. Cold fear gripped me, what would happen now? Would daddy forget me? Worse yet, would he return me?
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/KarmaCorgi/chpt8pic7.jpg
Things got better though; daddy was around more, always kissing Susan and petting her round stomach. Picking me up and snuggling me, even Susan would give me the occasional hug.
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/KarmaCorgi/chpt8pic8.jpg
Just like the rest of my luck though, it didn’t last. Daddy was killed in a car accident. Susan wore her grief openly; I could hear her wailing at all hours. I was numb; somehow my ten year old mind couldn’t understand what had happened. He couldn’t be gone, could he? He wouldn’t leave me alone with her? I cried at the funeral so no one would look at me funny or think I didn’t care. I did care; it’s just that I was so use to bad things happening that I’d acquired a natural immunity to all things bad.
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/KarmaCorgi/chpt8pic9.jpg
Not to be out done by the goodness of my unknown sister’s good luck, my luck got worse. Susan miscarried. The doctor said it was from all the stress but Susan didn’t care, she’d lost her last link to James and she blamed the only person she could, me.
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/KarmaCorgi/chpt8pic10.jpg
The years passed slowly and soon I was a teen. Sick of being blamed and without anyone to protect me anymore I fought back, often. For every time she yelled at me, I yelled back. Her favorite fight was that I was worthless, that I would never amount to anything and she would be stuck with me forever.She was wrong, without her knowledge (she would have taken it) I was saving money. I got a job at a local restaurant as a waitress and by the time I was eighteen I had enough to leave. I packed my stuff and never looked back. Six months after leaving I was sitting in a campus café, discussing movies with my newly found twin sister.

Aw, poor Kamryn, that's really sad... hopefully things will start getting better now. Lovely update! It was nice to see her story too.

[wicked_t0y]

[kt4prez]

Very nice update. Poor Kamryn. I like how you switched to Kamryn's view.

[xxmeghan]

Aww, that is so sad! But, hopefully things will get better for her.

Chapter Nine
~ Kamryn ~

Things were really starting to look up after I left home. I met Kyla, got an apartment
and though that maybe I'd actually escaped my bad luck. Of course, I was wrong.
Two months after I met Kyla I lost my job and my apartment in the same day. I told
Kyla and she insisted that I move in with her (Ha! take that bad luck!).
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/KarmaCorgi/Chpt9pic1.jpg
With Griffins help, it only takes us about an hour to move all my stuff , I didn't
have much since I could only take what would fit in a friends car when I left hel- uh,
home. "Maybe I was wrong.." I tell Kirby, sitting next to her on the floor in my
beautiful new room. "Maybe my luck really is better.." Of course, what I don't
know is that bad luck doesn't just go away, it goes somewhere else.
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/KarmaCorgi/Chpt9pic2.jpg
The next morning I wake up to a gagging noise. I ease out of bed and totter over to
the bathroom. "Kyla, you ok?" I ask, my voice husky with unshed sleep. Kyla makes
another gagging noise and leaves an offering to the porcelin gods. "God, I hate this,,"
She moans. "Whats wrong, stomach flu?" I ask. She jumps, spinning around quickly
to stare at me. " How long have you been there..." She sputters. "Jeez, relax would you.
I'v had stomache flu before, I don't care if I see you puke, ok?" I say. Kyla's doesn't look
at me as she stumbles back into her room. "Huh, is she always this way in the morning?"
I ask Kirby. Kirby whines and flops onto her back. "Must be nice to be so carefree." I
tell her, wandering into the kitchen.
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/KarmaCorgi/Chpt9pic3.jpg
Ten minutes later I'm flipping pancakes at the stove when Kyla staggers out of the bedroom.
She looks awful, hair desheveled, Clothes wrinkled and dark circles under her eyes. 'Um, hi."
I say quietly. "What breakfast?" She doesn't answer and instead pulls a face and head for the front
door.
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/KarmaCorgi/Chpt9pic4.jpg

“Something’s wrong Kirby” I say, slipping a pancake into her dog dish.
Kirby swallows the pancake in one bite and comes over to sit in front of me.
She turns her head sideways and barks at me.
“Hmmm, I could try to weasel it out of her….”
*Woof!*
“No way! That would totally break the sister trust barrier if I followed her!”
“Bark! Bark!”
“Of course I’m worried about her but she’ll be pissed if she finds out I stalked her!”
*Whine*
“I do so have a better plan! We can…um….Fine! You win, we’ll follow her today.”

Don't worry, I'm still here. :) I'v got good news and bad news, bad news is my computer crashed and stupid (me) didn't save anything on cd for awhile so everyone but Kamryn and Kyla are gone. Good news is I can rebuild them all from pictures and I'll update soon. I really want to get Seasons first though so look for an update by around next weekend. :D

[Jenna_Cide]

Awh. I gotta wait that long? Well okay. Great story. Quite intriguing actually. Update soon. <3

[PennyTheCorgi]

Chapter Ten
~*~ Kyla ~*~

Hehehe, sorry. I had to do something while I waited for Seasons! :D

"How could this happen to me?" I mumble to myself. "I was so careful,
I used birth control and everything!" God, you always hear about stuff like
this happening but you never worry about it until it happens to you. I shuffle
along the sidewalk, being careful not to look at anyone. Even though I'm not
showing yet I can still feel them staring at me, mocking me, blaming me for
this mistake. I sudden thought strikes me and my stomache drops. How do I
tell Griffin? I won't tell him. I'll make it so I don't have to tell him, so he'll
never know.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt.jpg
That's how I find myself standing in front of a small, unmarked building,
the clinic. So far, that all that I can do though, is stand there. "You can't do
it" I tell myself "You can't raise a baby. Your to young, it's not fair to the baby."
Something crunchs in the bushes behind me and I whirl around but nothings there.
Slowly, I shuffle one foot forward, then another, and another until somehow, I'm
standing inside the doors of the clinic.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-1.jpg
Inside it's cool and smells strongly of disinfectant. I glance quickly at the room I'm in.
Two worn couches, a coffee table, some magazines(ironicly, parenting magazines), and
a sign in desk. I walk slowly to the desk and a middle age women with a tired look
glances up at me. "Can I help you?" she asks.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-2.jpg
I feel dizzy and lean against the wall to keep from falling over. Suddenly, I
can see memories flashing through my mind. Being little and playing with
dad, mom hugging me, Daddy dancing around the room with me standing
on his feet. These are replaced by images of Griffin. Kissing me, smiling at me,
telling me he loves me. I can't, I can't be here, I have to go.I can hear the women
calling me, asking me whats wrong but she's fading, being replaced by my heartbeat
in my ears and my foot falls on the pavement.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-3.jpg
Then she's gone, and so are my choices. There's only one thing I can do now,
one option. It will be hard, and tiring and painful but it's the only option. First,
I have to tell Grif- *Crunch* I spin around and stare into a matching pair of bright,
blue eyes, their startled expression reflected in my glare.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-4.jpg
"I shouldn't be here." I whimper, backing away from Griffin's door.
"You whimp, get in there and tell him before he hears it as gossip."
Kamryn snaps, shoving me back towards the door. "I can't" I mumble
"I can't tell him, he'll hate me." I'm not normally a shy person. Quiet
for the sake of hating conversation,yes. But by no means afraid to
talk to people. Unfortunatly, no one told my stomache this because
its rolling around like crazy and threatening to yack up that buritto
I ate. "I think I'm gonna be sick.." I tell Kamryn. (the only reason I'm
talking to her after she spied one me is I'm really in need of the support,
although her sarcasm is totally unnecessary.) "Consider it practice for
the next nine months." Kamryn replies blandly, giving me another shove.
I try to glare at her but the best I can manage is a kind of pathetic, glassy stare.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-5.jpg
"Knock!" Kamyrn hisses at me. I raise my hand and let it fall limply against the door.
"Argh, your pathetic!" Kam grumbles, darting forward to land five hard raps on the
door. I hear a thump, followed by some scrambling noises and Griffin appears at the
door in his underwear. Before I can doubt myself I launch into an explanation.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-6.jpg
"Griffin,I have something really important to talk to you about and I know its going to
change our lifes forever but its a choice we made and- wait, why are you in your
underwear?" "I was sleeping" Griffin mumbles "What did you need to say?"
"What? oh yeah, um....can I come in?" I say quietly, having lost my start.
"Why? can't you just say it here?" Griff replies,
"No! Its way to important! let me in." I say, pushing past him into the room.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-7.jpg
As usual, Griffin's dorm room is a cluttered mess. I give the room a quick one
over and quickly decide the floor is the cleanest place to sit. "Whats wrong?"
Griffin asks, now fully awake. Dammit, I never meant to cry but when I
reach my fingers up I can feel hot tears on my face and before I know it,
I'm blubbering like a two year old. "I...I'm pregnant" I gulp before being
hit by a wave of fresh tears.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-8.jpg

[Loco]

*gasps* Ooooh! Griffin, be nice to her! I love Kamryn and Kyla's relationship, it's very real. Great update, I missed this!

[Plumeria330]

I love this so far! great story :)

[PennyTheCorgi]

Chapter Eleven

Silence. Words are powerful but silence is just as much so. I want so bad
for Griffin to do something. Cry, scream, throw something, anything. But
all he does is sit there, looking at nothing and saying nothing. For some reason,
this makes me so angry. It makes me want to scream at him to do something, to
say something. But just like him, I say nothing.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/CHPT.jpg
I stay the night with Griffin. We order take out and watch a movie, acting like nothing
is different even though our whole lives are upside down. Griffin falls asleep on the couch
but I can't sleep so I just sit and stare out the window, watching the rain.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/CHPT-1.jpg
I wake up the next morning to Griffin making breakfast. Stumbling over, I sit down at the
bar, trying in vain to wipe the sleep from my eyes.
"Griff, can we talk about something?" I ask quietly.
Griffin doesn't say anything.
"I- I really think we need to talk about...what we're going to do now.."
Silence.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/CHPT-2.jpg
"Um, I have a little bit of savings but I guess I'm going to try to find a job and
I'm not really sure where to put baby furniture.."
Silence.
"Dammit Griffin say something, anything so I know what your thinking!"
"Do you want your eggs scrambled or fried?"
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/CHPT-3.jpg
"Argh! Boy's are so stupid!" I explode,stalking through the door.
"Uh,ok..." Kamryn says, looking up from the book she's been reading.
"I tried to talk to Griffin about the baby and he wouldn't say anything!"
I grumble, flopping down on the couch. " I mean, I knew he'd be upset but
I thought he'd atleast talk to me!"
"He's scared Kyla, not everybody wants to talk when their upset.." Kamryn
explains gently.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/CHPT-4.jpg
" But he has to say something, how else am I going to know if I'm alone in this."
I squeak. Dammit, I'm crying again. Kamryn comes over and sits next me, putting
an arm around my shoulder.
"Sweetie, even if Griffin wants nothing to do with the baby you won't be alone, I'll
be right here."
"That's totally corny, but thank you." I snuffle.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/CHPT-5.jpg
That evening I spend some time playing with Kirby, hoping the fresh air will clear
my head. Kirby couldn't care less that I'm scared, sad, or worried. She just wants
me to throw the stick. Suddenly, Kirby gives a loud bark and dives around the corner.
"Kirby! your not suppose to do that until I actually throw the stick!" I yell. 'You can't
fetch if I don't throw it!" But she does fetch something, she fetches Griffin.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/CHPT-6.jpg
"Oh, hi" I say, trying not to sound pissed. "What are you doing here?" Griffin
gives me a sheepish smile. "Sucking up. Hoping you'll understand that I do care.
I just- I didn't know what to say..." Damn. Why does he make it so hard to be
mad at him."Griff," I say, voice tight with tears "what are we gonna do?"
"I don't know, but we'll figure it out together, I promise your not alone in this."
He says, putting an arm around me. "I love you".

Yay!! I'm so glad Griffin's going to stick by her...as he should! :) great update!

Chapter Twelve


The next months pass quickly. Griffin and I find a
cheap house and we move in together. it's strange
at first, not having Kam there. But I get use to it
after awhile. Or more likely I'm to busy to worry about it.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/Chpt.jpg
After Griffin graduates he goes right to work looking for
a solid job. Unfortunately, that's not as easy to find as
you might think so end up having to find a job. I managed
to find a job at Happy Burger for a few months but I end
up having to quit after I can't see my feet anymore.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/Chpt12pic2.jpg
Lucky Griffin finds a job as a record store clerk and
he even finds a coffee shop that pays him to come
in for a few hours on the weekends as one of the musical
guests. Neither job pays very much but he's happy with them.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/Chpt-1.jpg
At first pregnancy doesn't seem that bad. I hardly ever
get morning sickness and aside from some food cravings I
don't feel that different. No one bothered to tell me that
by my fifth month I would be getting morning sickness,
backaches, heart burn, sore feet and gas.needless to
say that even though many of the side effects of pregnancy
are less then fun, I would live like that for the rest of my
life if I never had to go through labor again.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/Chpt-2.jpg
No amount of pregnancy books, lamaze class or yoga
could prepare me for labor. I don't care how much you
practice breathing, it doesn't matter when an eight pound
baby is trying to squeeze it's way through an opening the size
of a lemon. She is beautiful though, my little Anabel Wyatt.
The minute I held her nothing else mattered. It feels like I barely
get to hold her at all before the nurse is sweeping her out of
my arms and out of the room. Huh, I guess that's what I get
from a nurse that looks surprisingly like Cali Morrison.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/Chpt-3.jpg
I don't notice until after the nurse is gone how tired I really am. I fall asleep
dreaming of my gorgeous little girl and our lives to come. I'm not sure how
long I'm asleep before the alarms wake me. At first I think maybe it's a fire
alarm but I don't smell any smoke and the sprinkler is off. "Hey!" I yell as a
nurse runs by. "What's wrong?!". "A babies been taken from the nursery."
She says breathlessly. "Someone should tell the parents." I say. "What's the
baby's name?". The nurse gives me a sad look. "Anabel Wyatt"

Chapter Thirteen

The women quietly closes the door being her and tiptoes towards the staircase.
"Mommy, what are doing" five year old Cali asks, wiping sleep from her eyes.
"Nothing honey, go back to bed" The women coos soothingly.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/Chpt-5.jpg
"I can't, I'm not sleepy anymore. What's in that bag?" Cali asks. The women
glances around quickly before opening the bag and gently lifting out the infant. "oooh, a baby!" Cali squeals. The women smiles at her daughter nervously. "Go sit on the floor sweety and I'll let you hold her."
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/Chpt-6.jpg
The little girl runs down the stairs and plops herself onto the livingroom carpet.
"Gently, she's very small" her mother warns her, placing the sleepy infant into
her daughters lap and settling next to her on the floor. "Mommy, where did the baby
come from?" Cali asks. The women chuckles softly, "You know where babies come
from silly." She says, ruffling her daughters hair. " I know that, but where did this baby
come from?" Cali says, impatiently.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/Chpt-7.jpg
"I brought her from the hospital." The women answers.
Cali's quiet for a minute before asking " Won't her mommy and daddy
miss her?" "They're bad people Cali, they don't deserve to have her."
The women answers darkly. " God frown's on their actions and he
sent me to punish them."
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/Chpt-8.jpg
"Oh.." The girl says, quietly. Glancing down at baby. "Don't tell
anyone though,It's our little secret sweetie" Her mother warns her.
"Yes mommy." Cali says. Handing the baby back to her mother,
she makes her way quietly back to her room.
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/PennyTheCorgi/Chpt-9.jpg
Cali awakes in the dark, gasping for breath. Shaking, she gets out of bed
and stumbles to the bathroom for a glass of water. Returning to her room
she flicks the tv on an immediately stifles a scream. On tv is an Amber Alert
for Anabel Wyatt, an infant stolen from the hospital. Cali lets out a moaning
sob, sinking to the floor. "Noooo" She whimpers quietly. "Not again. This time
I'll do the right thing."

Chapter Fourteen, Fifteen and the Epiloge are on there way. I'm done but I don't have internet right now so it might be a few days....:(

[onsenmark]

Take your time; we'll wait. :)

[Stormy_SC]

I just read this story all the way through and I have to say you're doing an amazing job! I can't wait for the next chapter.

[PennyTheCorgi]

Ok, I still don't have internet but I'm can luckily use my cousin's computer for a little while. :) I didn't get to photoshop these like I wanted, sorry. I hope it's still ok.

Chapter Fourteen

It's like being in a dream. A horrible, nightmare. It's the not knowing that's the worst.
The fact that you don't know where your baby is or if they're ok. Is she sick,
unhappy?....dead? I can't think of anything else but her. The hospital must have
called Griffin because I can see him coming down the hallway now. I don't say
anything though, I can't. Griffin standing near me now, crying. Why aren't I
crying? The doctor is here to. He's saying something about finding her but I
can't seem to understand. Everything sounds dimmed, like I'm hearing it underwater.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-9.jpg
Someone's screaming, I can hear them but I can't see who it is. Why is everyone staring
at me? What's wrong with all of you, shouldn't you be trying to find my daughter? Why
is everyone staring at me like sheep, wasting time that should be spent finding Anabel?
I can still hear the screaming, full of pain and punctuated by sobbing. There's a sharp pain
in my left arm and I glance over to see a nurse pulling a needle out of my arm.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-10.jpg
The screaming stops as waves of sleep wash acrossed my brain, pulling me under
there dark waters. I blink, trying desprately to keep my eyes open but they're to
heavy and slowly, they begin to close. I fall deeper into sleep as the drugs take effect.
Griffin's face looms in front of me as I drift to sleep. My pain and fear mirrored in
his eyes. I reach a limp hand up to touch my face, my fingers come away wet with
tears. "Anabel" I whisper, drifting into nothingness.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-11.jpg


Chapter Fifteen

I shiver in the early morning air. Not so much from the cold but from fear. "It can't be" I
mumble to myself. "That was years ago, she's too old now". I stare at the small, brown house,
willing myself to go inside. "Cali, is that you honey?" calls a thin voice behind me. I stiffen, turning
around I force a smile onto my face. "Yes momma, it's me." The old women chuckles, holder her arms
out to me. "Come here dear, I haven't seen you in awhile." I inch forward forcing myself to imbrace
the women. "Come inside Cali" She says, more an order then an invitation.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-12.jpg
The house is much the same as it was when I was a child. Stark and clean without the
warm,homey-ness of a normal house. But then I guess it isn't a normal house, It holds
secret's. My mother sets her bag down and disappears into the the kitchen. "I'll make
some coffee, make yourself comfortable." " No chance of that." I mutter.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-13.jpg
As soon as she disappears I dive for the phone, hurriedly dialing the police. "I know
where you can find the missing baby and the women who stole her" I whisper. "They're
at 432 West-" "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Hisses a dark voice behind me.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-14.jpg
Whipping around I freeze. "Please, no" I whisper, staring at the gun. " They aren't married"
She spits with distaste. "The little whore doesn't deserve a baby, and neither does your stupid brother"
"Mother, she's your granddaughter." I say louder, my voice quavering. "Your brother is a
disappointment already and I won't have people knowing he had a child out of wedlock." I glance
quickly at the window, wondering if I could move quickly enough get out it but the chances are slim.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-15.jpg
A cry breaks the thick silence and mother moves swiftly over to her bag, reaching in to bring the baby
out. Her glance hardens at the sight of the child, it's not the loving gaze of before but a distasteful glare,
the look you give to something that disgusts you. "She can't be saved you know." She says, glancing back
at me. Realisation and horror surround me. she has no plans to find a new family for Anabel, she plans to
kill her.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-16.jpg
A loud rap at the door shakes me back to reality. I glance down at the phone one the floor where I
dropped it, the green light tells me it's still on. a smiles spreading acrossed my face. "Your done."
I say, my voice brittle and full of hate. "Anabel will get to go back to her family and you'll go
to prison for all the babies you kidnapped."
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-17.jpg
"I never kidnapped them, I saved them from they're sinning parents!" She screeches at me, making
Anabel's cries double in volume. "No, mother!" I scream "You're the only true sinner!"
With an angry yell she points the gun at Anabel. " I may be going to prison but this little
abomination is going were she belongs!" "No!" I scream. There's two shots, a scream and
then only pain.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Chpt-18.jpg

[PennyTheCorgi]

The End

Kamryn, hurry up!" I sigh, shifting Anabel to my other arm. "I'm coming,
go ahead and I'll be there in a sec." She says, glancing down at her feet again.
" Move a little quicker ok? Cali got shot and she's moving faster then you!" I snap
as Anabel gives my hair a sharp pull. Kamryn rolls her eyes. "She got shot eight
months ago" She says, kicking at a rock. "Here" I say, handing Anabel to Griffin.
"No, let me hold her" Cali says. "She's my godchild after all." Cali has changed
for the better. She can still be rude and selfcentered sometimes but she's alot nicer
and she loves Anabel.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Epilogepic1.jpg
She's silent for a minute before quietly saying "What if he doesn't like me?
"I smile at her. "He'll like you."I say. "Your his daughter". Kamryn sniffs,
brushing at her cheek and looks at me. "But I'm not like you." She says sadly.
"Your all cute and perfect and I'm all....weird." I laugh. "So's he"
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Epilogepic2.jpg
Soon enough we reach the house and I can't help smiling at the sight of the
chipping paint, cracked front walk and weedy lawn. To passersby it looks like
a dilapatated mess, but I grew up there and I can feel the love and memories
without even opening the door. Kamryn starts to squirm again, backing away slowly.
She hardly has time to move though before the front door flies open and a blur of
black hair races straight for me. "Kyla!" He screams, slamming into me with enough
force to almost knock me over. I smile and reach down to pry Dylan off of me.
"Hey Dil" I say. "See over there? Thats your sister Kamryn. Why don't you go say hi"
Dylan smiles and races over to her, slamming her into a powerful hug also. "Hey cool!"
He squeaks.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Corgiluvr/Epilogepic3.jpg
"She looks just like you Kyla!" I roll my eyes. 'that's because we're twins Dylan."
"Cool! do I have a twin too!" He squeals. The door slams again. "Dylan, let go of Kyla
before you squish all the air out-" Dad stops talking and stares from me to Kamryn.
"Oh my god..." He mumbles. "It's really her." "Um, hi?" Kamryn says quietly.Dad stumbles
over to her and wraps her in a deep hug, tears streaming down his cheeks. "I missed you without
ever even knowing you." He whispers.

~ One Week Later ~
~*~ Kamryn ~*~

Sunlight filters through my bedroom window and roll over, savoring the lazy comfort.
I can hear Griffin and Kyla laughing and talking in Anabel's room next door to mine.
Tucker and Dylan are outside playing catch and the alluring smell of pancakes is wafting
into my room so Audrey must be making breakfast. This is all still so strange so I'v been
calling them by name instead of Mom and Dad but they seem to understand. I grew up
thinking someone else was my dad and I'll always love him. Because even if he wasn't my
real father, his love for me was real.

" I think my luck has finally changed for the better." I say, rubbing Kirby's head. I smile,
confident in the idea that maybe, maybe I can be happy. I watch Cali walk down the
driveway to the car. She's probably going to visit her mother's grave. I think she still
feels guilty for her mother getting killed. When her mother tried to shoot Anabel, Cali knocked
Anabel out of her hands and ended up getting shot herself. Her mother also got shot though,
by the police. She wasn't as lucky though. Cali got shot in the arm and lived to annoy another
day, her mother got shot in the neck.

"Kamryn, come down. There's someone I want you to meet!" Kyla calls. Pulling myself
from my daydream and hurry to get dressed before running downstairs. Kyla is standing
next to a tall man with dark hair and pale skin. "Kamryn, this is my friend Jude." Kyla
says with a knowing smile. "Yep, my luck is definately changing." I think to myself,
with a smile.

Whoa, nice ending. :)

I hope Jude's got a buzzcut, though. Otherwise, he's got a rather distinct lack of dark hair... ^^;

LOL thank you! :D I have a prequel to this one called "Who's Your daddy?" Posted here and I'll probably use decendants of these sims for my next story.

[ChrstyFarie07_SC]

You're welcome, yay! You're writing another story! I can't wait!

[jenny]

AWESOME story!!

[PennyTheCorgi]

thanks guys. :) I'm got two different ideas rattleing around in my head, so what I might do (after asking the mods, of course) would be to post a thread with an excerp of both stories and let the readers decide what they like more.

Final finished reading it and just loved it incredibly. Great job on this. Makes me want to write one myself.
