GIANTS ( the truth nobody told you)

CHAPTER ONE 

Saturday

 HELLO My Name is Amayeta, And it's not just my name that's different about me i'm not your ordinary 11 year old girl. I have a secret A BIG one. well it's only a secret to you not to anyone in my world. IN your world you have Fantasy, Fiction, Non-Fiction, etc. All the Fantasy and Fiction books you read tell story's of creatures that are not "Real" but are told to be real, confusing right? well none of those Fiction, or Fantasy stories have a story to tell like this one this one is different and let me tell you all those stories you read are true but they all take place in a world different from yours no MATTER what they say, its a world very much like mine but its a world of it's own you see there are many different worlds and mine is special mine is the only world where Giants still live today. We Giants used to inhabit many worlds but slowly oh ever so slowly we became extinct in all the worlds except one and no one know's why NO ONE KNOWS WHY and that's why I AMAYETA GIANT am going to find out or at least try, I mean for all anyone knows a horrible plague could be causing all the deaths of all those other Giants , or worse a creature of destruction. That might me on his way right this very second. I Amayeta am going to find out somehow the cause of all the deaths, and STOP whatever it is but for now I'm just an ordinary 11 year old girl.... Giant.                                                                                             "AMAYETA LUNCH" my Mom called                                                                                                    "Coming Mom"                                                                                                                                                                                       I run down the stairs faster than usual (Usually I walk) my SUPER long black hair flying behind me. I'm the middle child in my "huge" (:  family, YUP smack in the middle 2 younger brothers 4 younger sisters 3 older sisters 3 older brothers. oh and I have a twin surprise! bad surprise. Giants are not supposed to have twins, ITS EXTREMELY RARE and my twin sister AMY ( She got the short name ) Has SUPER long blonde hair. other than that we "look" identical, same nose same freckles same mole right above the mouth same birthmark on the leg yup SAME birthmark the only difference is that Amy's is a shade lighter. But are our personality's identical? NO THEY ARE MOST CERTAINLY NOT identical! Amy love's red I love blue. Amy loves sports i'd rather get punched a bunch of times in the solarplex (By Sean one of my strongest older  brothers) than hit a ball with a bat. you get my point. Amy would rather get stuck on mars ( She hates space ) than read one sentence out of a picture book I LOVE BOOKS. once again you get my point. Anway I'm not the first one at the table this time but I'm definitely not last  which is surprising because i'm usually last.                                                                                                                                             "Well that was quick" one of my older sisters Bestla hums she LOVES to sing.    

"THAT WAS SOO FAST YETI"

 Athos one of my super annoying younger brothers yells. 

he is always calling me yeti he say's my real names to long. I think  of reminding him that my name only has 2 more letters than his. but he will only ignore me as usual. Anyway iv'e started calling him Ant so my mind is more at rest. 

"Thanks for coming so early darling" 

 my huge mother smiles at me and then goes back to stirring a HUGE pot of porridge. our.. lunch. My stomach turns but I push the feeling of disgust away Instead of throwing up I'll tell you the names of all my siblings.                                                                                                                                      From oldest to youngest my siblings are- wait before I start i'll tell you one BIG secret about giants baby giants all the way to 18 year old giants are roughly the same size as human kids but from 18 to 25 a giant grows a huge lot! 7 years of some SERIOUS FAST growing. giants usually get married when there 30 or older and can live around 250 years , although my great grandpa lived to 310! giants usually have lots of kids so my family of 13 which seems HUGE  to me and probably to you too, is actually a small family in the giant world in fact my great great grandmother was the oldest of 50 siblings and only 1 of them was a boy. Anyway back to my siblings, 

From oldest to youngest here are my.ages  siblings names:                                          :                                                                              : Albion. my oldest sibling and brother. 17

: Greg My 2nd oldest sibling & brother. 16

: Jarnsaxa my 3rd oldest sibling & sister.15

: Olwyn My 4th oldest sibling & Sister. 14

: Owen my 5th oldest sibling & brother 13

: Skathi my 5th oldest sibling & sister. 12

: Titania my 9th oldest sibling & sister. 7

: Bestla my 10th oldest sibling & sister. 6

: Fern my 11th oldest sibling & sister. 5

that's my family and half of them just walked into this room starving, starving for porridge. gross. this family. Anyway I have another thing to tell you about giants there are different races of Giants, My family are all NORM giants for short but for full where just the NORMAL race of giants we look quite a bit like humans just when we turn 25 where huge. But there are many more races of giants including some pretty scary secrets about some of the races other than the NORM/NORMAL race of giants, there are the: 

GRON GIANTS (Bigger than NORM giants and are way more hairy than us GRON giants are to be feared by NORM giants and are much rarer than NORM giants.)                                                                                                                                                           PRUG GIANTS (The largest and Stupidest of all the races of giants friendly but huge these giants are fairly common but prefer to live alone.)                                                                                                                                                                                                       EKKEN GIANTS ( These giants almost always have one eye and there skin is a light purple shade and these giants are the smartest giants. These giants are extremely rare and if you ever should happen to see one, RUN.)                                                                                                                                                                                  KONGI GIANTS ( the smallest race of giants they are polite, and fairly smart but there bright orange skin is poisonous one touch could kill a Prug Giant. ( which means one touch could kill about 10.000 adult humans, just in case you where wondering ) The live alone and if you happen to meet one just let them know they look nice and then run DO NOT touch them even if the invite you in don't go they touch everything so if you touch one of their chairs...💀 you get my point.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              TROD GIANTS ( very similar to NORM giants except for one BIG difference there feet are HUGE, HUGE, HUGE, HUGE, like SUPER HUGE!) lets pretend Adult NORM Giant feet are the size of three human school buses well Trod Giant's feet are like 3 human football fields you get my point) 

     NORM FOOT :  .               TROD FOOT : 👽 

ANYWAY.........  The last race of Giants are called t...h..e-ee:

GANGUS GIANTS ( Cruelest Race of giants no more to be told no more known)  

Okay that's all I know for Giant races but for all I know there might have been more races before shudder.. shudder.. the great wipe out of giants. We are all sitting down at dinner almost all of us are ready to eat Porridge. Almost all of is that is expect me and my SUPER SUPER preppy sister Jarnsaxa. She keeps insisting that "Beautiful Giants don't eat Porridge" I sort of agree except I think NO giants should eat porridge.                                                                 

"Eat up Janensaxa, Amyeta, you would'nt want your porridge to get cold would you? trust me its much better warm than cold." my mother huffs/booms I groan a Giant groan My mother frowns at me. I don't care, I think porridge is only better if no one eats it at all. I barely touch the porridge and by the time Lunch is over I have only taken two bites, Jarensaxa however has not taken a single bite. My mother groans at us, I frown at her. "Girls when are you two going to learn how to eat?? Jarnsaxa your 15! Amyeta your 11. You to are only getting thinner and before you know it you'll start growing a lot" she says/booms this as she clears our bowls off the table. I answer her quickly "Oh mom I know how to eat, I just don't exactly love eating porridge" Jarensaxa Nods "She's Right Mom, Porrige Is DI-SGU-TING!" Mom Shakes her head and says, "Girls, Girls, Please listen to me you two have 11 Siblings, Your Dad and I just don't have the extra cash, to buy Fancy food" Silently I thought to Myself that I would not mind Not having "FANCY" food, If only we did not have to eat Porridge which was not, "NORMAL" it was below Normal it was Barely Edible. Jarensaxa Shook her head and then Ran back up the stairs she ALWAYS runs. I Ran up the stairs too, which was unusual but Lunch smelled so bad I could not wait to get back in my "Rose" smelling room, Which I pretended I didn't share with Amy. Her side of the room smells like Lavender, My side of the room smells like Roses. When I walk In I gasp and drop the book I was holding, SHE is sitting on MY bed reading MY journal!!! how dare she!! I scream at her "AMY WHAT DO YOU THINK your doing!??!" she stutters a reply " I'm sorry Yeta, I t-t-tought Yo-o-u w-w-wouldn't mind. I only read the ff first p-p-age." I spat out a vicious reply, "AMY RANDELL, BIG you thought I wouldn't mind??? are you crazy?? You thought I wouldn't mind you Sitting on MY bed reading MY journal? Only the first page Only the first page the first page has my biggest secret on it! Really Amy Really?" Amy did not reply she put MY journal back on MY bed and went and sat on her own bed. Once she sat down on her bed I muttered 7 deadly words under my breath " I wish I never had a twin" As soon as those words came out My head got fuzzy it felt like I was falling, falling, and then darkness. It felt like years in the darkness but eventually I woke up, I was sitting on my bed, My journal was on my lap, the 1 $ sticker was still on it, I had gotten my journal from a Yard Sale a few towns away. But something felt weird. Different was a better word. I looked around the room, I gasped Amy's bed was GONE! but as I looked closer I realized that  her Painting of lavender, Her Lavender pot and plant, and her purple rug where gone. In fact the lavender smell was also gone. Everything about Amy was gone. Everything. I felt my journal It felt hard. Like there was something hard inside. I opened it. I gasped again Inside there was a small oval  green stone/gem with A poem Carved within it. The poem was in some language I did not know. It most certainly not Giant. My School/English Teacher Mrs Hugeie Knew all sorts of different languages, I Could show the gem to her she would probably know the language. I looked back at the room It looked as if only One person lived in it ME. Isn't that what I had wanted? Yes I decided, but I had wanted AMY to live In a different room. Not just disappear out of my room creepily. Hey Maybe she was still here just somehow WIERDLY moved into it without me knowing. I looked at the clock It said it was 3.34 which meant only 5 minutes had passed since me and had Amy fought. Even though the darkness had felt like years. (it was like waiting for the cake you made from scratch bake in the oven) How could Anyone move a bed that fast?. Suddenly I remember wishing for Amy to disappear right after I wished she would disappear she dissapeard. Hmm that was super creepy. But it was not the first time I had wished for Amy to disappear. Why now had my wish come true. I thought All this as I sat on on my Bed. The same bed it was five minutes ago. I looked around everything was the same on my side of the room. Expect for I gasped the picture of me and Amy had changed it was just a picture of me. Amy was gone. Her whole side of the room was white and empty. This was so confusing. What had happened where was AMY! I sat up ran out of my room and down the stairs Faster than I had ever run before. My mom was still downstairs doing the dishes I quickly asked her the main question on my  mind. "Mom where is AMY!" my mom looked at me confused. She replied uncertainly "Amy? I'm not sure who Amy is sweetie but if she is a new friend from school I'm sorry she is missing but I have no Idea where she would be" This was not possible Amy had just been here Minutes ago. Talking to Mom about school while eating her bowl of porridge like a good girl. Amy had been Mom's favorite between the two of us she was the good girl. I was the bad girl. In my moms words. She had my moms Long blonde hair. I had my dads Pitch black hair. I sputters a reply " What do you mean mom???? Amy your daughter Amy my twin!  your favorite twin Amy" My mom felt my forehead "Hmm no fever. Are you feeling okay today honey you seemed just fine a few minutes ago. Maybe the not eating your food finally got the better of you" she replied. I couldn't believe it My mom didn't remember AMY it was like Amy was just gone poof! just like all those giants disappeared from those other worlds. I shuddered  there was not use talking to my mom any more it was ovious she did not remember Amy. "I'm fine mom its just.." I did not finishes was I was going to say. I quickly walked this time to my siblings rooms. I asked  Albion and Greg they laughed when I asked them and told me stop making Imaginary friends. Jarensaxa and Owyln where no better. Owen and Athos Just looked at me and said what do you mean? Skathi and Naria said they where sorry but they did not know who Amy was. Just like mom had. Windigo who was the only one who had (besides Fern) his or her own room, was jerk about it like Albion and Greg had been. Titania and Bestla where no better. But little Fern had smiled at me and said If she could please see Amy she wanted to ask her a question before I even said anything. I smiled down at her and replied "Fernie, Darling Amy is uh-- well u--m she's gone" Her big blue green eyes looked up at me she obviously did not understand. "What do you mean Yeta?" "Oh Fernie I don't even know what I mean, you see Amy somehow disappeared, after I uh um wished for her to disappear" That was the stupidest thing to say Fern believed in wishes coming true, oh why did it have to be baby fern who remembered Amy? why!!! I quickly added "On accident" Fern replied to me in the saddest voice I ever heard her sweet mouth speak "A--Amy's G-GGone?? Forever?" "Well Hopefully not forever" I still had to ask my HUGE dad if he remembered Amy. And after that if he either remembered her or not I would ask my teacher. hopefully she could explain to me what the engraved words meant on the gem.

 But I couldn't tell Fern that. she wouldn't understand. She Didn't understand anything. 

CHAPTER TWO

MONDAY                                                          

 On Monday Morning I got to School early, Only a couple kids from my class where in the classroom and they where busy talking to each other. I quickly ran to our teacher Miss Hugeie's Desk she was organizing her desk she looked up when I got there, boy was she Huge. (All the Giant schools are made HUGE not for the students but for the teachers, cooks, etc. same with family houses, and children ) I quickly asked her a question "Uhm Hey Miss Hugeie Um is there any way um I can show you something?" Her huge stern eyes glared down at me she was always so frighting it did not exactly help that I was her least favorite student "Your here surprisingly early Amayeta, What makes you think I  would be okay if you showed me something? yet I am curious of what that thing might be. Amayeta, what would you like to show me?" her voice was loud and stern. "Um Miss Hugeie,  I found this stone and it has a language engraved on it and..." "Show me the stone Amayeta" her hand was outstretched her face said nothing but her muscles where tensed  and greedy. "Um never mind" I quickly said I was not sure if I trusted Miss Hugeie with the stone. "GIVE ME THE STONE AMAYETA NOW" The two other kids that where talking looked up at us, I was definitely not going to give the stone to her. Without thinking it through Something inside me told me told me to run, and to run faster than I ever had before. so I did I bolted Miss Hugeies screams echoing behind me "GET HER" "DON'T JUST STAND THERE" I ran until my legs physically could not go any farther. I must of run five miles or more, at the whole time not stopping once to walk or look back, I ran into nothingness not knowing where I was going something inside me told me to keep the stone safe whatever happened. When I finally stopped and lay down I looked around I was in a forest an unknown forest, you see before in the Giant world you could travel from world to world without even knowing it but all that had changed when all the other Giants disappeared from the other worlds one day one by one Giants visited the worlds and found out all of there friends, family, and all the other Giants where simply gone. And know one knew why not even the GREAT GIANT KING RUBLEULES, So when all the Giants disappeared  The GREAT GIANT KING RUBLEULES, from our world ( he is a trod Giant)  closed the all the portals so travel between the worlds was over. This had happened way before I was born. So I had never traveled between worlds but my Mother had when she was a  little girl younger than me, she had had many adventures but that's for another story. Anyway human years and Giant years pass differently so 1 Giant year is like 10 Human years. Anyway my first thought when I landed in the unknown forest was that I had traveled between worlds but that was impossible. I sat up and suddenly heard a slow hum and then some  high words (whoever was speaking them had a strong accent not Scottish not British but somthing in between) High words of jibbirsh  , that made know sense like, "yes" "now" "Run" "Bread" "butter" "butter" "Bread" "Frog" "Fishsticks" "Peanut BUTTER" then I heard  a high laughing if it could be called laughing. All these sounds where going from behind a tree. I walked over to the tree looked behind it and gasped A baby eagle was laying on the ground, it looked to me as if it had fallen out of its nest. It noticed I was there Immeidetly it started talking again only this time the words made some sort of sense. "Creature, Skin, Hair, Black, Black" it was describing me. These bird could TALK! even in the Giant world animals don't talk I had know Idea what to say to the eaglet but I quickly said some words "Um hey little guy My name is Amayeta I'm I Giant, I young Giant, Where am I what is this place called? did you fall from your nest?" It replied to me weirdly  "She, Understands, me, must must bring bring her to Alice" before my eyes the tiny frail eaglet transformed Into a strong HUMOGUS Giant size adult eagle and in a strong firm voice it said "Come, I must bring you to my misstriss mound me" I was still so shocked, One this bird could talk I was most likely in another world I had run into another world without even knowing it! I had skipped school ( I kinda had to ) and run into another world without knowing it, when had I run into the portal? I had not even felt anything or saw anything. But then again I was not looking where I was going. This eagle who had just transferred from an eaglet was now talking to me! to get on its back!! and who the heck was Alice? even with all of these questions and doubts swirling in my mind I mounded the eagle and we soared in the Sky as amazing as the feeling was (flying in the sky, The strong wind in your face so loud you could not hear your own words.) we where soaring hundered's of feet above the ground ( no normal eagles flew this high) and  none of the view was familiar none of it. 

Chapter Three Monday and Alice.

The eagle Landed In front of a Small Lilac Colored hut/cabin. It was Wayyy to small for an adult size giant but it was just my size. So this was where Alice Lived? whoever or whatever Alice was. Front Door opened with a loud Creek. And out stepped, "Amy" I cried to her The girl looked confused and Replied "I think you mean Alice." "No I mean Amy, Amy it's me!" I confessed The girl looked at the eagle and then at me. "Trust me I'm not Amy whoever Amy is. My name is Alice Anderson, And my Eagle here has some explaining to do" "But you look just like My twin sister Amy-" The eagle interuppted My Sentence. "Alice,  I found This girl Near the Edge of Great wood forest, I brought her here Because she understands me, and I know you are in need of someone who can speak animal." He boomed. "Thank you My dear Friend" Alice Replied to Him. "Can someone Please tell me what in the world is going on? Everything is so confusing." Alice Smiled a Reply "Tell me your side of the story and I'll tell you mine." Alice said But before Either of us could tell our stories a Baby Bear walked out of Alices Front door it was obvious his paw was wounded. "Thats Fern" Alice  Said, I was so confused I was glad when Alice Told me all about her past. Boy Was her past crazy. Once she finished Her story I began mine. I told her everything, From start to finish.

Maeve & Nuala. I&A

"Maeve Bryne Was no ordinary girl who lived in a world long ago that most of us have forgotten long long ago,-"

 Our school teacher
Miss Shuttle began telling us this story from long long ago. Personalty I HATE history but this story/lecture seemed different somehow, I kept listening,  

                                                 "-She was a girl of her word a girl for her bravery  a girl of faith that even if she jumped of a the highest cliff in the universe she would still survive, but most importantly a girl of her music and speed, and this my fellow students is her story, Open up you history books to page 147 " she finished this sentence with a very slight odd smile on her face she was looking right at me... odd..

 I groaned who cared about this Maeve Bryne?? anyways she was just one more red head Irish girl...but something inside of me felt differently like here story had more to say than any of the other tales. I Skipped through a bunch of pages until I came to the last history story in the book  It was titled Rosemary Hills. I checked the page number yup 147 so this Maeve Bryne girl maybe liked Rosemary?

 I laughed and began to read:    

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Hello Journal! My Name is Maeve. I am more happy than words could possibly ever tell to open this old blank paged book and start to write. I am more than honored to know how to read and write. My grandfather Martin, you see taught me. I have tried to teach Sean and the others but only Sean cares for such thing's and even he has Barely enough time to practice his ABC'S with all the work he does in town. My sister Deirdre thinks I am quite foolish to wish to teach others and to keep trying to learn more about letters and reading, but I found this old book up by the creek yesterday and hence I would very much so like to began to write a journal, as Martin used to call it. Life was so different with out Grandfather Martin around. I feel my face droop just thinking of him. Today it is raining even more than yesterday!-   

Huh that's funny I thought, an auto bigography and it was I gasped hand written! I bit my lip.. hmm I looked around no one else in the class seemed to notice anything different, odd... I read on

 Da Says that if the rain keeps falling like this the potatoes will never have a mere chance to start to grow. I worry every day for Da. He is only gettin' thinner and thinner. I worry for Kind Sean, Boisterous Daniel,  Sweet Branna, Crazy Cassidy, Caring Cara, Brave Fianna, Pretty Nuala, Gorgeous Deirdre, Calm Callum and Shy Aiden. I wonder if any of them worry for me 13 year old Maeve. 

 Wow that's a lot of siblings. I thought about my one sister Mae and my guinea pig Johnny.  Hey her sister Nuala had my same name how cool, I thought to myself.

Poor Nuala is so thin that on her sweet pretty little face you could see her cheekbones poking out Only me and 'er have journals to write in she has had one longer than iv' had. We are all so hungry but we are forced because the stupid earl to eat so very little. My own stomach growls and the hole in it only grows larger by the second. For all I know the hole could soon grow big enough to eat me all up!! 

Wow this was so much sadder history when is is written as a auto biography and I'm still in the first page! I thought I kept reading:

I miss Ma. Only me Da, Deirdre and Sean can remember her and every time I think of her tears fill up in my face. The Ma I barely knew was warm loving and caring. The last thing I Remember her telling me was:

"Be good my little astore' and never give up. never even when everything around you is crumbling. My little one push through the stones and even if you get stuck lift that stone right off your foot. Love others and be kind. have faith my dear. be brave my little warrior. For me please take care of your da. and most of all take care of this land, our land Ireland" " I Will Ma I will"

I had promised her. It seemed like so long ago.

I remember those words so Clearly it's liked they where glued in my mind.                   Anyways I know ma wouldn't be happy if I just sit around and mope,so I am going to go on a quick lil ru'n.

Hmm,  I think Now the history book changes to a new type  of hand written script,

I see Maeve Race across the field, Crossing it, ( a 200 ft field) in the blink of and eye I could barely say

 "Maeve Makes a Monstrous, Mudbluckling run across the moor!"                                                                                                                                                                                  Before she would cross it. She was that fast, And I Nuala Bryne have never no never seen anyone who can run faster than her ( of course I haven't really seen anyone run well, accept for old Mrs Morris runnin' anwyas she runs away from a mouse in her ol' house practically every hour' but let me tell you she is fast when she runs away for the lil rascals) I now see Maeve  dissapear into the woods. ( I time her now she is almost at the first mile mark and her time is at 4.05!)  I write all this as I sit on a ol stump the ink I have made is form the wild poison blood berry's that fill da woods. -

I stop reading, Her sister Nuala ( The one sister who shares my name!) is writing this! and oh! I make a very loud gasp I can feel some of the students eyes staring at me and I hear Lexi Kawi smirk and laugh 

" What's So Intriguing- ( She smirks again not before checking her new I phone 14 premium when it rings ) -about Boring old Maeve Jiknins and her Ancient Grandma? who goodness knows why is still alive in this story."

 Tom Miller laughed at this but then again he laughs at everything and anything Lexi says.

 ( everyone knows he's sweet on her)

  nobody else said anything and I turn back to the story my mind blurred whirling, and confused,

What did Lexi mean Maeve Jiknins HER NAME was not Maeve Jinkins but Maeve Bryne...  And she did not have a Grandma the I knew of..

 and she had run a 4.05 minuet mile ( WHY WAS that not surprising to these kids!)

 even I girl who never had run in her life knew that that was fast very fast for a young girl.  why was this so confusing!! what was going on? I tried ( And failed) to clear my mind of my worries I turned back to reading it had switched to Maeve's writing. 

My Personal best new record i ran a 10.3 2 miles !

                                                                                                         

Why I want a Hamster (small essay)

 HEllo family! so today I am going

to talk about why i need a HAMSTER
Yup a hamster! sooo........

Here are my reasons of wanting to

 own another hamster:

WHY I want a hamster because:

1 I HAVE ALL THE THINGS you need for a hamster i Have: 5 bags of hamster feed, the tank and all of the accessories i even have bedding. and a hamster only costs 12 (:

2 If that girl comes Saydi talked about I am sure she expects me to have a least 1 hamster I am sure Saydi told her about all the pets in the pet room, well no I only have birds, and 1 gecko.

3 I miss knuffle and i really want to have another furry knuffle friend around. 

4 there would be space in the pet room, I could put a table from the attic in the corner since well the pet room is pretty much empty...

5 I don't see any harm in it, as i have everything and I really want one.

When: So when well I am not sure but anytime this summer or fall would be great,I could even MAYBE wait till Christmas...

What: What I will do I will play with him I PROMISE!!! I don't have as many pets as I used to,  and I will clean him/her every week, If I don't play with him/her you guys are welcome to find him a new home.

where: In pet room on table. (:

Final notes: I think getting a hamster would be a great thing for me.

Isla & Ingrid and the others.

I am going to tell you a story of a remarkable and most unusual twin family 's story.


Isla and Ingrid where twins.

Identical twins.

You could not tell them apart unless they where wearing different clothes which they almost always where.

you see Ingrid was so different from Isla and Isla so different from Ingrid that in personality they where opposites but they where still the best of friends.

Isla and Ingrid where Orphans there two older twin brothers Ian and Isaac and there younger twin sisters Ireland and Iris and there even younger twin brother and sister  Ivy and Ivan and there was there even younger twin sister and brother Ida and Isaiah. and last but not least there was their youngest twin brothers Israel and Iser.
where also all orphans and they all lived with their their only set of grandparents alive.

Only Isla and Ingrid, Israel and Iser & Ian and Isaac where identical.

The twin Family's parents  had died mysteriously when Ian & Isaac where only 10 they basically disappeared one night they left and never came  back. it was  7 years later now and they had never returned the government had announced them dead so they went to live with their grandparents.

Let me describe  their features to you from oldest to youngest:

Ian and Isaac:

: Ian & Isaac where both  17.

  Their birthday was in May, May 13th.

 Ian was the older twin brother bye 19 minutes. (Isaac hated this)

  They both had messy dark Black/Brown hair and freckles They had dark green eyes. They where both very tall Ian being 5.10    and Isaac 5.9/5 (basically the same height) as Isaac would say.

 They had very similar personality's.  Ian & Isaac both loved chemistry, and they both loved to draw and paint being the most creative of the twins. They also ran x C.


They usually wore shorts and a T-Shirt. (Their favorite being a checkered green T-Shirt.

Isla & Ingrid:

:Isla & Ingrid where both 14.

Their birthday was in July, July 21st.

Isla was the oldest twin sister by 16 minuets, But Ingrid did not mind she liked being younger.


They both had long dark wavy hair with freckles. and they where alike with dark blue eyes. They where both medium height  for their age they where both alike being 5.2..


They had VERY different personality's

Isla Loved to dance and to sing she was a ballet star and her voice was so beautiful like a dove. she also enjoyed doing occasional paintings of landscapes. Isla being the much more preppy on of the two. Isla was also smart but did not enjoy to much reading as it ("hurt her delicate eyes")

While Ingrid.. HATED dresses and almost always wore shorts or jeans and a plain T-Shirt on top she was a big tomboy, she loved being in nature and loved animals (MUCH more than her sister) she hated singing and she was quite clumsily. She loved writing crazy adventurous stories. and when she did paint her paintings where done with her hands, you can imagine what that would look like.


Isla almost always wore dresses with fancy embroidered things on them when she was not wearing dresses (which was rare) she had a fancy shirt on with a pretty skirt. she hated jeans and could not stand shorts or pants she called them (Boyish!) she had only worn pants ONCE in here entire life for a baby picture and had never worn shorts.


while Ingrid on the other hand only wore shorts and pants and a plain shirt. she hated even the thought of being fancy and had only worn a dress in her life ONCE for you guessed it a baby picture.

IRELAND & IRIS:

:Ireland and Iris where both 11.


Their Birthday was in January, January 1st.


Ireland was the oldest of the two twins being 18 mins older. Iris was in her own world most of the time so I don't know her opinion on being younger one of the two.

Baseball Basketball Golf, YOU NAME IT! she was also very outgoing and talkative.

Iris on the other hand was very quiet and shy she had a sweet voice and sang often but her biggest hobby was to read, she read books so much that her grandmother threatened that she might need glasses by the end of the year but Iris well dear Iris did not care, she loved books more than anything they where her passion she could go anywhere whenever she wanted. Iris was very unaware of her beauty and she did not notice any of the girls jealous stares, for her head was almost always and I mean almost always in a book. she also loved nature and being outside.

Ireland almost always wore shorts or pants depending on the sport it wasn't that she hated dresses it was just she had not time to wear them she was almost always playing some sort of sport.

Iris mostly wore long plain same color dresses  her favorites where her pastel azure one and her pastel yellow one. She also wore skirts sometimes.

It was so fun learning about all the different people and times,

one of my favorite books is the Where is the Bermuda triangle it was very interesting, all the spooky stories of it where so fun to read.

LANGUAGE/TRAVEL

This year my family and I went to Spain and England.

It was so fun to learn Spanish and get to see the Spanish culture!

We went to Barcelona first and I was surpirsed by how many dogs there were. I also saw parakeets in the trees there which was different than home. In Valencia I found a cat with little kittens and we ate a lot of oranges. Last we went to Elche and visited the beach.

England was so awesome as well with its lush fields on one side and the magnificent old buildings on the other. We spent of out time in Oxford where we got special blueberry ice cream and I saw where my brother was born. It was really cool to see all the old architecture.

I picked up a little Spanish during the trip and my British accent is very fine now.

I also made a lot of friends and wrote a lot of post cards to friends back home. I think most of my money went to buy stamps ;)

Altogether it was a great trip.

We went to New York City too one day and we got to walk on the Brooklyn Bridge. It was fun to do that after reading how it was built.

ART

This year I practiced different styles of drawing and practiced drawing different creatures other than just people.

Some of my art are on our family's learning Instagram account

ANIMAL SCIENCE

This year I studied about incubation and built my own incubator which I used to hatch my own quail and chickens. I currently have Eastern Painted Turtle eggs in it which have an incubation period of 72 days. (Worth the wait)

My sheep are growing and after shearing them in May I'm learning how to skirt and card the wool. I learned how to needle felt and am excited to use my own wool to felt as one of my new hobbies.

I've had to learn a lot of animal medicine this year. We gave my lambs shots and my flock recently came down with a sickness which I think might be Merricks disease and I'm trying to help protect the healthy birds. Four of my birds was attacked by a Coyote recently. One survived but with a big cut and I had to try and glue her skin back.

MATH

I've been reading the Life of Fred series and have really enjoyed learning more about math. Fred's approach to math is very different than most math books. He uses math almost like it's a game and you try to solve the puzzle to help Fred.

MUSIC

I've been learning new songs on the piano and also how to play songs by ear. I'm pretty good at picking out a new melody.

I love singing still too.

BUSINESS

I'm still selling my pasture raised chicken eggs for $5 a dozen. I also have duck eggs which are $7 a dozen. My eggs sell out fast and I probably sell 6-7 dozen a week.

With the egg money I buy my own chicken food and hay for my sheep as well as anything extra they need. I've learned how to do budgeting and stay out of debt.
