I wasn't scared. It has always been like this. Dark. Dreary. Hopeless. I wasn't scared but I can't speak for my reflection over here. Or she used to be my reflection. She is scared but I don't know why. It's not like she has ever known any different. The darkness should have became her friend by know. Every time he opens the door the light blinds us and I get a sharp pain in my brain. When my eyes readjust I always seem to be the only one who notices that the set of twins that sit closest to the door aren't there anymore. I try to tell myself that they ran from the monstrous hand, but I know that's a lie. I hear the low, deep voices speaking on the other side. I can't understand them because I think they're speaking German. I'm not sure what language it is, I've never even been outside of my province let alone my country.
"Stop sniveling Haley. They might open the door just to smack us again."
"I can't help it! I'm really scared Jess. I don't know where we are and I haven't known where we are for five years!"
"Exactly! So why the hell do you keep crying about it then? Nothing's going to change...unless we make something change.."
"How are you going to do that?"
"Would you keep your voice down?!"
It was too late. Some of the other twins over heard our plans.
"Is it possible to escape? We don't even know what's out there or how far we would have to run!"
"Who said we would be running?"
"Would you just tell us what your plan is already?"
"Alright I will. You have to trust me on this. My plan is going to take a while and only a few of us can escape at a time okay? If we all go at once then we will have to run."
"HOW ALREADY?!"
"SHUT UP! You don't know that those men on the other side can't understand anything we're saying! Now first I know that the little girls in the corner speak the same language that those men do..or at least I think they do from what I've heard. I've seen them snickering at some of the things that the men have said. Problem is, I don't know if they speak English."
"Hey! you two! do you speak English?"
"Well shout it to the heavens why don't ya"
"....yes..little."
Her other sister punched her in the arm and gave her a hateful look.
"What about you? I suppose you speak English as well?"
Her other sister looked at her pleadingly and she sighed.
"Yes Speak better then sister. Yes I do"
"Can you write a party invitation?"
"What in God's name are you thinking of?"
"Just trust me I have a plan"
"Stop sniveling Haley. They might open the door just to smack us again."
