Little Isa was directly taken to the airport thereafter, they didn't visit her old house to collect because no one knew what dear possessions she would like to take with her, so they just promised to buy her new necessities from where they come, her soon to be home all the way in New York, America.

She had never been on an airplane before, so the butterflies giving her queasiness in her tummy was a very new feeling for her as the flight took off. She was seated in the window seat and right next to her was Emma. She was firstly scared of the confrontation with her regarding her dislike for her.

Once staring out of the window got boring she took in her surroundings. Next to Emma was Zachary who was fast asleep, and Emma was drawing on his face a sloppy moustache and a word puzzle all over his face with a glint of mischief in her eyes. She knew very well that he slept like a log, the house on fire could go unnoticed by him while he was asleep.

On the seat behind her real parents slept comfortably with a blanket draped across their body.

Sarah sat next to them while watching a movie on her tablet.

With newfound confidence Isa tapped Emma's shoulder.

She turned around and gave a blank look. She was always like that, void of any emotion towards her. She ignored her look and advised,"Take a pink pen and shade his eyes"

As realisation hit her suddenly she gave her a small smile and got out a pink pen and got to work.

Oh well. She tried to talk.

"You look like you'll be able to help me with my pranks in the future!"said Emma with a ghost of a smile on her face.

"I'd be more than happy to help you" said Isa with a full on grin.

She had done it finally, she had broken the ice and possibly the thick tension between them.

With newly found courage, she asked with curiosity,"Emma why do you not like me?" Sadness hinting in her voice more than she had intended to let through.

"It's because before you came I was the only girl and pampered more than needed. Now that you're here I won't be taken seriously. I won't be loved as much because I'd have to share it with you. I feel sad that you suddenly waltz into here and take up all the attention of everyone." Towards the end her voice had started to crack.

Isa had an internal battle wether she should forgive and console her or be mad about it.

"But now that I think of it, I was wrong to think like that because you have missed out on a whole of ten years of your life, those ten years in which I got your part of attention and love, and when I think that I feel sad about how I acted with you...... Now I'm probably blabbering on, but I guess what I'm trying to say is... I'm sorry. I think we'll be great sisters and good friends too." Emma said all in one breath, it's good that Lucy was used to fast talkers because she herself was one. As she tried to take it all in realisation dawned on her.

She then furrowed her eyebrows."Do not take pity on me. Please. I think I'm going to get enough go that in this new place you people are taking me to."

"No no I am just saying I feel sad."

"Okay. I guess I'm just happy we made up. Something gives me a feeling I don't like breaking promised relationships. And we are sisters. I'm still trying to get used to the fact."

"It's okay take all the time you need Bella. Now get up and help me paint daddy's face. You look like you have a prankster's mind." She said with a grin.

Emma was unconsciously right about one thing. Back home, Isabella always pulled ingenious pranks on her sisters.

Once they landed they were all driven in a limousine to a mansion, Lucy sat with her mouth open, never had. She seen a building so breathtaking as thus one. Each detail of each part of this place was beautifully carved and that intrigued Isa greatly.

Isa was always attracted to buildings and art included in the building.

Emma shut my jaw, "Don't want any flies to enter in now, do we?" She said with a hint of amusement

This was home now for her.

The entire way Emma did not stop chattering on about the most random things on the face of earth. How she was gonna be spending a lot of time with Isa. Or her friends at school. What they would do once she joins school. How she would take her help in pranking their friends the first time they saw her, making them believe that Isa was Emma because they looked the same.

Isa still hadn't seen herself, she did not need to, she was told that Emma was exactly like her.

Isa was then escorted to her very own room. The mansion had 4 floors. Each floor was given to each if the children. While the parents got the entire ground floor.

Isa's was the topmost and the best. Her room was not the normal girly room, it's colours were purple grey and black, the rest of the floor consisted of the playroom, gym, bathroom, and her very own candy pantry.

To say that she was shocked was an understatement. She would totally get used to this lifestyle, but that nagging voice at the back of her head was back, for unknown reasons, she tried her best to bury it where it came from, and succeeded.

After taking a long shower she walked over to her room, without second thought of looking around the room she jumped in the queen sized bed and drifted off into a deep slumber. She, like her brother was a very heavy sleeper.

The next morning she was awakened by the sun's brightly piercing rays.

She glanced at her alarm clock at the bedside table. It showed 12:13.

She was normally an early riser, must be the jet lag then. Hmm.....

She went the to the bathroom. She completed the necessary and looked around for a toothbrush. It was a rule for her not to talk without brushing her teeth in the early morning, so she was confused what to do.

She went down the elevator to the dinning room where she assumed to hear most noise. All if then were sitting around the table. When she walked in all five pairs of eyes turned towards her. She did not like the attention so she just walked in and tapped the mother's shoulder, and somehow signed a tooth rushing brushing teeth.

Sudden realisation clicked into Mary's mind. She understood what she was trying to say. She asked her follow her into the next room. She did as she was told. Mary opened the middle cabinet and removed a toothbrush for her.

" 1. Sensitive
2. Medium or
3. Hard ..?" Mary asked

Isa showed her the index finger. Means she wanted sensitive. Mary gave her the toothbrush she wanted and Isa accepted with a small smile.

As she exited her room she heard Mary say," You know, you're exactly like your father. He also never speaks before brushing in the morning."

Isa gave her one last smile before leaving the room.

Once she was done with the usual morning ritual, she was surprised, it was like her hands went in autopilot mode. Weird.....

When she went down to the living room again all five pairs of eyes darted towards her, watching and scrutinising her every move, she felt uneasy.

"Dear, we need to have a family talk. Explain some things to you."

She widened her eyes in shock, she was expecting it, but not so soon.

Here it was, the moment she dreaded ever since she woke up on that hospital bed, she was now going to discover the truth.
