Hi my name is Harlow, I am 12 years old, this is my mom, dad, and little sister- Hello, Im here to,- uuhhgggg, that is my twin sister- unfortunately - her name is Harper and we have been forced to go everywhere together since birth. we were thought to be identical, but I turned out with blue eyes and she has green eyes.

Keva

Liana

Tyler

Audrey

That is my family, but they are not the only people in this story, there is also our best friends, the Huchingson's. Our families have been friends for like 3 generations or something like that. Keva is Juniper's age and Audrey is our age, the other two are obviously mom and dad's age.

So, now that you know us, lets begin with the story. Our families live right next to each other and our houses are exactly the same even in the inside. Well, almost. Her mom didn't like the colors.

Guys! Slow down!

One day Audrey came running over to our house with some exciting news. "We found an attic in our house, there wasn't anything in it but a pile of stones!" Well, we ran over to her house and quickly climbed the stairs to her attic.

please please please please please please please please please

Fine

We begged and begged until finally her mom let us make it our secret hideout. so we got to work, it didn't take very long because all we had to do was through the rocks out the window (which were very smooth by the way), and then go get Dad to help us get all of our stuff upstairs.

wait a second...

Then it struck me, if her house had an attic then our house must have an attic too!!! So we ran over to my house and...

Again???!!!

Sure enough there was an attic, but this time there was not only a pile of stones.

wow!!!

There was much much more this time, then they found something that would change their lives forever...

THE BLACK BOX!!!!!

"What is this? " Audrey asked, holding up a black box.

" I don't know, but it seems familiar for some reason"

" I think we should go to the library, it will probably have some kind of explanation." Harper suggested.

Nice whistle!

TWEET! KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN!

When they got to the library they went strait to the librarian Mrs.Warner. Everybody was scared of Mrs.Warner because she was always cranky and was like 100 years old. -But she always seemed nice to me.-

Yeah...bye.

GET OUT!

"Do you know where we could find information about this?" Harlow asked.

"Where did you get that??!! Dispose of it never let anybody see it ever again!!" Mrs. Warner exclaimed, forgetting her own plead to stay quiet.

"What IS IT though?" asked Audrey.

"You should never have brought it here! GET OUT! NOW!"

"Let's go!" Harper whispered.

Library

" What was that all about? " Harper asked.

"I don't know, it was just a box with some papers in it," Audrey responded with a shrug. "Maybe we could ask my Grandma Nancy. She said she knew Mrs. Warner when she was younger."

"Good idea!" Harlow said.

its my summer allowance

"Traffic looks bad. We're gonna have to walk, but at least there is an ice cream shop on the way there!" Harlow suggested.

"That's what I was gonna say!" Harper whined.

"Let's just go!" Audrey said quickly, breaking up the sister's fight.

RUN, ITS GOING TO MELT!!!!!!!!!
