my mom or me. I sighed.
“Your mother is a witch, am I right?” asked my grandfather. Sama gasped.
“But the polar bears-,” Sama started to say but my grandfather put his hand up, signaling silence. She immediately was quiet.
“Yes, and I am one too,” I said.
“Ah, your father’s mother was a witch. She died not too long ago. I think she’s somewhere in the graveyard,” he said waving his hand at the mounts of dirt. My father winced. My grandfather said all this casually but you could see the sadness and hurt in his eyes. He shook his head.
“How powerful are you?” my grandfather asked in interest. Katie was at my side immediately.
“That’s classified,” she said glaring at my grandfather. He laughed.
“I am her grandfather. Shouldn’t I know?” he said. Katie raised one eyebrow.
“Should you?” she said.
“I can say whatever I want to say, Katie,” I said. Katie just scowled but stayed at my side, just in case. Drew came up on my other side.
“Let’s just say I’m more powerful than Grandmother Widow,” I said. He seemed impressed.
“Wow. Must be from that dark magic,” he said thoughtfully.
“And pure,” I said. Now he seemed surprised.
“That’s impossible,” he whispered.
“It’s true,” I said. My grandfather frowned in a very scary way. He leaned closer to me.
“Stay clear of the polar bears,” he said and then he turned, striding away. I shuddered. Sama turned to me.
“He’s right. You have to stay clear from the polar bears. You don’t know the plan their hatching up. The ones that die come straight here because the White Lord wants Grandpa to find out what’s happening. Usually, any dead souls would go to the Devil but Grandpa and the Devil worked something out so polar bear souls would come here. Grandpa has been trying to figure out their plan by making some of his assistants bringing the polar bears back to life and questioning them,” said Sama.
“All I know is that they want to be more powerful and demolish witches and warlocks,” I said. Sama nodded.
“That’s as far as we know too,” said Sama. Suddenly white light flooded the room. A man came down with aged hair but his eyes were blue, like the sky back home. He was the White Lord.
“Have you found anything out yet?” asked the White Lord.
“My assistants have been working as hard as they can but you know how they can be distracted. How about you?” asked my grandfather.
“My light forces have been in and out of their minds but these polar bears are smart. They know the right time of when they shouldn’t be thinking about it,” said the White Lord. He turned to me and saw Sama right next to me this time.
“Sama and Samanthia have met at last,” he floated up to us. “Isn’t it a good feeling when you know you have found your long lost twin?” he asked us. Then he smiled.


Chapter 7
My long lost twin, Sama

“What?” we asked at the same time. Then we looked at each other. We turned back to face the White Lord. “What?” we asked again.
“You didn’t know?” asked the White Lord. “Brother, what do they mean they didn’t know?” My grandfather shrugged but before he could say anything else Sama pounced on the White Lord with a question.
“I have a question,” said Sama. The White Lord turned to her.
“Yes?” asked the White Lord.
“Well, because I’m the Dark Lord’s granddaughter, does that mean I’m not a very good person?” asked Sama. I was wondering about that myself.
“Well, if you’ve done good deeds then no. Your family doesn’t classify you, you do. For example, one of my granddaughters is a selfish spoiled little girl and she thinks she’s a goddess because of who I am,” said the White Lord. Sama nodded.
“Ok. That’s all I needed to know,” said Sama. The White Lord nodded.
“As I was saying, they didn’t know that they were sisters?” asked the White Lord to my grandfather.
“Well, I thought they did,” said my grandfather slowly, turning toward my father. My father turned to me.
“Didn’t your mother tell you?” asked my father. I shook my head. My father turned to Sama.
“Didn’t your grandfather tell you?” asked my father. She shook her head. My father turned to my grandfather.
“I told you to tell Sama about her twin and her mother. You told me to lie to her for 11 years. I told you to tell Sama the truth,” said my grandfather. My father sighed. He sighed a deep sigh. He turned to Sama.
“Sama, your mother is alive and in perfect health, I hope. Anyways, you have a twin sister and her name is Samanthia. You see, when you two were born, your mother had to give up one child. There could only be one heir to the throne. Well, we already knew Samanthia was a witch but Sama never showed any signs of magic. We were very worried. Your mother tried giving Sama some blood thinking she would be a vampire because I told her I was half one. I already knew what Sama was. She was, well, like you,” my father turned to stare at my grandfather, “It was horrible. I knew what she was but your mother didn’t. I told your mother that you could be dangerous, Sama. That’s what I thought at the time, at least. So, your mother gave you up reluctantly and I gave Sama to my father. You both were only one at the time,” said my father. We separated when we were one? Neither of us was a clone. We were twins. We both definitely had to stop watching sci-fi shows. Well, I did anyway. We turned to look at each other. Sama never knew what she was. Was she like my grandfather? I couldn’t help but think she was but at the same time I knew she couldn’t be. She was too nice and too helpful. She can’t be, well, a Dark Princess. Could she? Sama looked down shamefully. The White Lord nodded to us.
“Well, I have to go. Bye, brother. Goodbye, everyone else,” He said and then the light shined again. Then when the light dimmed, He was gone. I shook my head. Maybe this was a dream, I thought. I shook my head again. Drew came up to me and smiled. I smiled back. How can you not smile at Drew? Even Sama was smiling at him. I turned toward her.
“I guess we’re sisters,” I said. She smiled at me.
“I guess we are,” she said.
“Do you really think you’re a Dark Princess?” I asked slowly.
“A what?” she whispered back.
“Never mind,” I said.
“Grandpa isn’t evil you know,” she said angrily. Suddenly, I had an idea.
“Maybe you’re not a Dark Princess! Maybe you’re just human. Or you just are half magical,” I said. She looked confused.
“I don’t understand,” she said.
“You can only be part Dark whatever. I probably am too which would mean that-,” I said.
“Which would mean I could possibly be a witch too!” she exclaimed.
“Exactly,” I said. My grandfather stared at us all excited.
“Come with me Samanthia and her friends,” said my grandfather. I looked at him more closely. His eyes were crimson red but they glistened from something more. His hair was gray but it showed that he was wise and old. His face is what really caught my attention. Even though the first thing you see is his eyes, I saw that his face was ashy white, almost deadly. His wrinkles looked more like scars, scars of shame, of battle. His skin was tight around his face. He almost looked like a corpse. Almost. But you could see that he was friendly, in a weird kind of way. I could see his veins pulsing under his almost transparent skin. The world has been unkind to him. I could see that, now. Katie followed close behind me with Drew hot on her tail. I hurried up and caught up with my grandfather. At first, I hated this man but now I loved him like family. He never showed any type of love for anyone but he must’ve once. He was married.
“Mr.…grandfather?” I asked. He turned to glance at me and then swiveled his head to the hallway that we were in.
“Hurry up,” he mumbled walking faster now. I knew he didn’t like me. His favorite granddaughter was Sama. Anyone could see that but now I was determined. I had to have him realize that I am his granddaughter whether he likes it or not. Sama caught up with him and looked my way.
“Grandpa? Can Samanthia and her friends sleep in my room? I mean, being here must scare them a little,” said Sama. My grandfather looked at her. He smiled.
“Of course they can,” he said, his dark red eyes overflowing with love for his granddaughter. Sama looked over at me and smiled. I just rolled my eyes at her and then smiled back. We stopped in front of huge oak doors lined with gold. On the door, was a calligraphy S. Sama’s room. I sighed. It seemed that I understated grandfather’s love for Sama. She looked back at me and opened the doors. I walked in and almost fainted. It was as big as my own house. Okay I was exaggerating but it was HUGE and half of it was for closet space.
“I’ve got some sleeping bags beside my bed and I have a lot of night gowns that you can try on,” she said while closing the doors. Then she looked at Drew. “I’m afraid I don’t have any boy nightgowns.” I couldn’t help laughing. She did that on purpose because she was laughing too. So was Katie. Drew just looked confused.
“I don’t get it,” said Drew.
“You will, soon,” I said smiling. Sama looked at me and I nodded.
“Come into my closet. Drew do you see anything you like? Oh I think this blue lace nightgown would really bring out your eyes,” she said with a serious face on. She was good.
“Um, well, you see, I don’t wear girl clothes,” said Drew. Sama slowly put her head down.
“Oh, of course,” she said even sniffling a little. She could totally become an actress, I thought.
“Um, it’s okay. I can get my own pajamas. I am a warlock,” said Drew. He seemed really proud as if he was just getting used to that idea. Sama slowly put her head back up.
“I didn’t know that you didn’t want to wear my nightgowns but if you want to wear your own then that’s fine by me,” she said stifling a laugh.
“I didn’t know people here wore nightgowns,” said Drew slowly and suspiciously.
“Well you’ve never been down here and if you don’t wear a nightgown then that shows disrespect,” said Sama.
“Oh, well I don’t. Um, well you see, I, um,” stuttered Drew. Sama smiled. Everything was starting to feel strange. Drew never stuttered, for anything, as far as I’m concerned.
“Don’t worry. You can wear one of mine,” she said.
“Right,” he mumbled. She picked up the blue lace nightgown.
“As I said, these would really bring out your eyes,” she said. She pointed to the bathroom. “The bathroom is right down there. Try it on and then come back here.” He grabbed the blue lace nightgown and walked down to the bathroom.
