CHAPTER 7
"See what I found here" Violet exclaimed.
Ella and Emma rushed over. Violet had a big wooden box in her hand. There were many books inside it. She placed the box down and took out the top book. It was a photo album.
Ella and Emma took the photo album and sat on one of the trunks.
"It looks like a happy family once lived here," Emma said.
"Yes, look at the smiling faces of the children in their parent's arms," said Ella.
"And did you notice? The girls are twins just like us," Emma exclaimed.
"Ya and they are so... What? They look like us! So much," Ella said as they looked at the grown-up pictures of the girls.
They went to their mother and showed her the album.
"Mom! Look at the people who lived here before us had twin girls and guess what? They both look exactly like us!" Ella exclaimed.
"Oh, that's such a coincidence! But look, their dressing is a little old fashioned. They must have lived here a decade back or so," Violet said.
"Wow, mom! I can't believe it! We all know that people say that there are seven more people in the world who look just like us. We all have considered it a myth but it's true!" Ella said, happily.
"Or it is also possible that you are reborn," Violet teased.
"What! Mom, it's not true," Ella was taken aback.
"Oh, Ella! Who knows maybe it's true and we are reborn to discover a mystery or something," Emma said.
"Oh so, in that case, it will be so cool," Ella clapped like a little child.
Emma and Violet giggle and they continue to explore the attic when suddenly, one of the boxes tripped over, revealing some clothes which were covered in blood.
Ella and Emma gasped, Violet came to them and covered her nose because of the stink.
"We have to get rid of these clothes," Violet said.
"But mom whose clothes are these?” Ella asked, horrified.
"Oh, I know! This dress belongs to one of the twins. I recognise it from the photo," Emma said.
"So is she murdered or what," Ella asked.
"It's enough! Now let's stop this discussion right away," Violet cut them off. "Now we have to go down anyway. We will have some snacks and visit our neighbours.”
Ella and Emma didn't argue. They knew their mom. Nothing can change her mind.
They all went down. Violet quickly took out some cakes from the fridge and they ate them.
After that, they changed their clothes as they were covered in dirt and piled up in the van.
"Mom, do you know anyone here?" Ella asked.
"Well, I have spoken to a lady when I came to see this house. She gave me her address and we are going to her house and guess what? She has three kids, and the two boys are close to your age" Violet blinked.
"Mom!" Ella and Emma blushed.
The drive was not so long, but the path was very lonely. There were trees on both sides of the road.
They soon reached the house. It was like theirs, old, creepy but it gave a more welcoming look.
Violet ranged the bell and a lady came to open the door. As soon as she saw Ella and Emma, she hugged them and said "you are back!"
