**PART 1:**

****

**Long, long ago, in a far away land, past the Cities and Seas of civilisation, there stood a mouantain range. Though, not simply any mountain range, a mountain range called Wuthering Heights, informally known to me, my twin sister Alaina, my Mother and Father as Home. We had now lived there for all my life 14 years. When I think of us as a Family, us and our home, I know that our house is so different in terms of identity to others, but hey it does th same job doesn’t it? As long as I have a roof over my head I don’t mind.**

**Anyway, our story is located in a Jungle surrounded by magnificent mountains. **

**This Jungle was covered by towering trees the size of skyscrapers and thick belts of emerald leaves emerging from the bottom of sickly sweet scented blossoms. **

**Swish! A I whizzed by elevated by the springy, dewy grass appearing glossy in the sunlight. Wasting no time, I effortlessly waved my hand and a vine wrapped itself around the back of me elegantly yet effecianlty lifting me to the top. As I smirked down below watching a mirror image of me stamp her foot looking craftily vicious. She stood her arms crossed as a large wave shooting upwards raised her. She leapt up to the steady landing made of wood on which I stood impatiently glaring from her to the stopwatch of which I paused at her arrival. She boasted lengthy brown curly hair, a baby pink leather jumpsuit with a leather skirt free of any crease and knee high boots equipt with a chunky heel, of which I wore a lilac jumpsuit with the matching delicate brown eyes and beautiful hair pouring out as if it were a waterfall. **

**Her heels clicked as she stopped beside me smiling artificially. Still smirking I said meeting her eyes, “Took you long enough Alaina, I have been waiting for the past 15 minutes!”, her eyes flashed so I could see a flame, “It was 5 minutes!” I rolled my eyes and tossed the stopwatch carelessly into her hands entering our modern home with whitewashed walls and marble floors, concrete gray walls and bridges leading form one to the other I had always thought of it as our very own mansion, and true we had all the money and more for all the mansions we wanted but I guess we ere more for th quite life. As I strode in I saw Mom piling pancakes into each of our plates she smiled warmly as she saw me. Mom was a tall and slender woman who had bundled her own curly brown hair into a messy yet trendy high ponytail. She was dressed in gym clothes which meant she was travelling? This was new news to me so I tapped my earpiece connected to Alaina’s hoping she would respond and by now I was stading in the bridge connecting all of our rooms to ne another, “ Hey, listen forget the race thing that never happened, I saw mom in her gym clothes with her and Dad’s suitcases in the living room, can you get to me I’m on the…” “Central bridge? Yeah, yeah be right there sis,”she finished, I felt warm inside as competitive as we were we always stuck together.**

**In the meantime, I pressed the amethyst engraved into a gold framed turtle bracelet we were all equipt with earpieces and bracelets to connect to each other. I pressed it, POOF! A large cloud of smoke concealed me and it was moments since I emerged, bearing an electric sapphire denim skirt and jacket mirroring the cloudless sky above, I also wore a lilac shirt and black stiletto sandels with a gold chain wrapped around my foot. Splash! Alaina landed on the bridge wearing a baby pink shirt otherwise completely mitrroring me.**

****

**I opened my mouth with intentions to pour into deep conversation with Alaina when an unmistakable voice rung through ou ears, “BREAKFAST TIME EVERYONE!” We looked at each other eagerly and chimed, “Yes Mom on our way!” And linked our arms skipping to the white and gray circular, marble table. We sat next to each other spreading layers of glossy Nutella over our pancakes accompaniment this with velvety whipped cream. Dad came in dressed in his own gym clothes Hmmph I thought as I thoughtfully ate moughtfulls of pancakes. But that’s when it clicked.**

****

**Later on during breakfast it was annoyed that Mom and Dad were going to the unexplored parts of the mountain range, Alaina choked, “What? Do you know how dangerous that is? I would have thought you did!” Though I was more inequity than frightened questioning them further on the trip, **

**“Ooh, when are you leaving?”**

** “This afternoon they replied. I flashed my smart watch at my eyes 10:00 a.m.**

** “Oh, How long are you goin for?” My dad said, **

**“Until Wednesday latest Friday,” uhuh, I though it was currently Saturday morning, “You girls can look after each other right? Otherwise we will have to cancel it you know you can tell us,” I stared at Alaina knowing I would be fine, she looked entirely lost in utter thought. She then spoke up, “Yeah, yeah…” I bit my bottom lip knowing that she would hold them back, “We’ll be fine you guys go! This could be big for you both as explorers!” I knew she would do the right tng ad would see it through.**

****

**Soon after we had helped with the finishing toughes of packing it was time to say goodbye, “You girls stay safe now,” Dad said smiling knowingly at us, “ Only do something if you know its right,” Mom finished lovingly and then we all hugged like we would never let each other go. **

****

**Turning towards the balcony we opened up te sliding doors and the linked hands and after taking one last look at us they were gone and were not but a twinkle in the sky. **

****

**Hours after their departure when the sky was a midnight blue filled with sparkling stars scattered across the night sky Alaina and I sat wrapped up blankets al the windows and doors closed and curtains drawn so only a peek of the outer views could be seen, the pair of us sat comfortably in our cotton pyjamas, me with a bowl of Haribos and Alaina with a bow of popcorn both watching the screen intently, until, we heard it, a large rumble echo through te Jungle, we both sat up and moved closer to one another. Alaina switched off the large TV and I though off my layers of plush blanket moving closer to the window I peeked behind the curtain and gasped softly beckoning Alaina over to me, and pressed a large button blended into our modern theme and whispered “ Activate self - defence camouflage mode” and I pressed my transformation button once more, returning to the form of my jumpsuit as did Alaina we both stared at each other knowing what was to come next.**
