8 years later.... A secret revealed
~The anniversary of Ashley's death...~
Isaac, Jenn, and Taylor were on their way to Ashley's grave to pay their respects. Isaac walked with his head hung low, this was his only best friend besides his brothers, that he ever had.
"It will be okay..." Jenn said patting Isaac's back. He was now 18 and still very lonely, ever since Ashley had died all he had been was lonely. Sometimes he caught himself talking to her although he knew she would not be answering him.
When they got to the grave they saw a girl there, her back was facing them. They had never seen her before. As they walked closer they heard her reciting a prayer...
"...Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presences of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil: my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever." Tears began to form in Isaac's eyes....for that was the prayer that Ashley said before she went to bed at night.
The girl finished her prayer and left a single red rose on the grave. She stood up and turned around only to be faced with Ike, Tay, and Jenn. "O my gosh....." Jenn gasped. Isaac lit up with joy.
"ASHLEY!!!" He hugged her. He knew it was her, it looked like her, and the eyes, they were Ashley's eyes! The girl slowly pulled away.
"I'm sorry.." she spoke softly "I'm not Ashley..." Isaac smile faded.
"But you look just like her..." he wailed.
"I'm sorry..." tears began to form in her soft hazel eyes.
"But..." he started.
"Shhh..." she said putting her finger over his lips, she slowly started to walk away.
"But you even said the prayer!!!" he yelled as she walked away.
"Ike!" Tay looked at his brother. "Come on man, maybe we should go home..." Isaac sighed and they began to walk home.
Later that day......
There was a knock on the door and Isaac looked around. "Is anyone gonna get that??!!" he yelled. No answer... Everyone had gone to get a movie to rent. He slowly walked downstairs and opened the door.
"Hi..." the girl said. He looked at her, it was the girl from the grave who he swore was Ashley.
"I knew it!! You are Ashley!!"
"No.." she said making his smile fade again. "Can I come in?" she asked.
"Yea..." she walked in and he noticed a box in her hand. "What's that?!"
"It's my secret." he looked at her strangely. "Is there somewhere we could sit down?"
"Yea.." he lead her to the living room and they sat on the couch.
"Now..." she opened the box, and pulled out a picture that was torn in half. "This is the only picture that Ashley had of her father..." he looked at it. It was when she was a baby and her dad was holding her.
"Well, where's the other half?"
"That's my secret..." she pulled out the other half and showed it to him. "That's the only picture I have of my mom..." it was her mom holding her as a baby, he looked at her.
"You're Ashleys twin?!?!?!?!" he asked shocked.
