/> “I don’t think that he knows it’s a joke,” said Katie laughing.
“He is taking it very seriously,” I said frowning.
“Oh, c’mon. Boys are like that,” said Sama. Sama and Katie started laughing. I decided to laugh too. Drew came out. He looked at us sheepishly.
“I think your nightgown broke,” he said. We came over and took a look at it. It looked like it ripped when he tried putting his legs through. Then I laughed. Everyone started to laugh except Drew. He just looked confused again.
“You really did believe us, didn’t you?” asked Sama laughing.
“What do you mean?” asked Drew narrowing his eyes.
“You are so gullible, son,” said Katie laughing. Drew still had his eyes narrowed. I stopped laughing. Everyone stopped laughing. I started to narrow my eyes just like him. Something felt very wrong, kind of like I was missing someone.
“I. Can’t. Believe. You. Did. That. To. ME!!” he cried through clenched teeth. Then he walked right out of the room and slammed the doors shut.
“What’s wrong with him?” I asked Katie. Katie was speechless.
“I’ve-I’ve never seen my son act like that,” said Katie.
“Then why did he act like that?” Sama asked. Katie narrowed her eyes.
“Remember when we saw him near that enchanted graveyard,” asked Katie. Sama gasped.
“Enchanted? And I don’t understand,” I said. Katie stared at me.
“That isn’t my son,” whispered Katie.


Chapter 8
Drew’s Body has been replaced with a Different Body…what?

“What do you mean ‘that isn’t my son’?” I asked warily.
“Exactly what I mean,” she whispered.
“Are you saying that Drew’s soul-?” I was asking.
“YES!! Now if you ever want Drew back, then let’s go find Grandpa,” said Sama impatiently. We were about to head out of the room but Drew came in and crossed his arms in front of the only door. I walked to him slowly.
“Drew, sweetie, we have to see my Grandfather. It’s very important,” I said. He glared down at me.
“Well, no one is leaving this room Samanthia,” he said, saying my name in disgust. I was sad and angry at the same time. I knew that this wasn’t actually Drew but he looked like Drew, he sounded like Drew. I knew what I had to do.
“I’m sorry,” I whispered. He stared at me with his crazed eyes.
“For what?” he asked.
“For this,” I said. I put my hands out and my black dust came out with so much force that it knocked Drew off his feet and broke the door off its hinges. I sighed. Why did I do that to Drew? I asked myself. He’s not Drew, someone said in my mind. The voice awfully sounded like Drew. Who are you? I asked the voice. I’m Drew, said the voice. Everyone saw me jump 5 feet backwards. Katie knew what was going on in my head so she winced. You can’t be Drew, I thought. But I am, said the voice. Then where are you? I asked. I could hear him hesitating. I’m not quite sure, whispered the voice.
“C’mon Sam, Katie! We should get out of here before he’s fully conscious!” screamed Sama. I looked down dazed. Then I realized he was starting to wake up.
“Oh. Yeah, let’s get out of here,” I whispered. We stepped over the almost awaken Drew and headed out the door. We ran down the hallway. Sama was leading us to…well we didn’t know where she was leading us. But we finally came to Grandfather’s office. Grandfather wasn’t there but Dad was. I rushed up to him.
“Dad, dad! Drew! The enchanted graveyard! He’s a different being in the same membrane of skin! Dad you have to help us,” I cried. My dad looked down at me.
“Slow down. What do you mean Drew is a different person?” my dad asked concerned.
“Exactly,” said Sama. My dad stared at her confused.
“Why did you say that?” asked my dad.
“Because you asked if he went near the enchanted graveyard,” she said slowly. Wait didn’t I already tell him that? My dad was shocked.
“I didn’t say that,” whispered my dad. Now Sama looked confused.
“Yes, you did. I heard you,” she said. Katie was smiling at Sama.
“Maybe you can read minds unconsciously like me,” said a beaming Katie.
“I don’t think so. I kind of saw him saying that,” said Sama. Katie frowned, deep in her thoughts.
“Maybe you can tell the future,” she said. Sama frowned.
“I don’t think that’s it either. I guess I’ll find out soon,” said Sama. Then she smiled at us. I turned to my dad.
“As you were saying, yes he was near the enchanted graveyard, like I said before. Do you think we can get him back?” I asked worried. My dad looked at me.
“Maybe. Usually nothing makes it out of the enchanted graveyard,” said my dad thoughtfully.
“This isn’t nothing this is Drew we’re talking about here!” I all but screamed at him. My dad took a step back like I was going to blow up. I just smiled back apologetically.
“Probably Grandfather can help,” I said confidently. Suddenly a puff of red smoke came out of nowhere. I coughed and when the smoke went away there was two strange people. The girl looked like she only had eyes. They were huge topaz eyes that almost covered her face except for a eyebrows and a nose. She stared at me. The other person standing next to her was for sure a boy. All he had was a huge mouth and a nose. He looked like he was smiling. Wherever the girl looked it seemed like the boy’s body would turn with her eyes. Right now she stared straight at us.
“My name is All Eyes,” said the boy in a girl’s voice.
“And my name is All Talk,” said the boy in a boy’s voice. Then he started to laugh.
“Get it All Talk! I only have a mouth,” he said laughing. The girl stared at him and hit him.
“Stop that!” the boy said in a girl’s voice.
“Okay, this is weird,” I said. All Eyes stared at me. The boy was opening his mouth but then he closed it. He opened it up again. Then he forced it closed. Katie was laughing hysterically.
“They’re twins and they communicate by All Talk. Their brains are connected in a way so All Eyes can speak too. Right now All Eyes is offended by your comment and All Talk is trying to not speak for her. It’s very difficult for All Talk. This is why he sometimes talks as a girl because of his sister. It’s almost like talking to yourself. Fascinating,” she said. All Talk opened his mouth.
“Whoa, can you read minds or something?” he asked in a boy’s voice. Katie and I nodded. The mouth frowned. I figured that All Eyes was making it do that.
“I don’t like it. My thoughts should only be shared with my brother. Besides, I have no choice but to share them with my brother,” she said. (Well, he said but in a girl’s voice. I think you get the picture.)
“Well, I don’t really like your thoughts anyway. They are all about BOYS,” said All Talk in his normal voice. She turned to look at him.
“Shut up,” said All Talk in his sister’s voice.
“Well excuse me for making a comment,” said All Talk in his normal voice. He then stuck out his tongue. Katie turned to me.
“That was All Eyes. Did I mention that All Talk sees with his sister’s eyes? Well, he does. Their brain is almost like it’s connected,” said Katie.
“You seem fascinated,” I said. Katie nodded. Sama started nodding too.
“Yes, of course,” said Sama. Everyone turned to stare at her, everyone except All Talk. He seemed to be wandering off. He hit his head on the wall. Katie leaned toward me watching All Talk.
“His sister cut him off,” she whispered.
“Um, All Talk, over here,” I said. He turned around and bumped into his sister. Then his body seemed to turn to where his sister’s eyes turned.
“Finally! I can SEE!” he said. His sister glared at him.
“I’m letting you see because you BUMPED INTO ME!!” screamed All Eyes using her brother.
“Well, it’s not like I did it on PURPOSE,” said All Talk. Sama looked confused. Oh right, everyone was once staring at her. My dad cleared his throat.
“Sama, are you all right?” asked my dad warily.
“Never better,” she answered, but not with much certainty.
“Honey, why did you say ‘yes of course’?” my dad asked. Sama’s eyes grew wide.
“I’m NOT going crazy, okay?” she said, her voice turning shrill.
“You didn’t answer my question,” said my dad. He crossed his arms and tapped his foot in a comical way. How could you not laugh? I giggled. Everyone shot daggers at me from there eyes. I quickly piped down.
“It’s hard to explain,” said Sama after staring at me, confused.
“Well, explain it as well as you can,” said my dad. He stared deep into her gorgeous brown eyes. Sometimes I thought that her eyes couldn’t be the same as mine. Her eyes were a milky chocolate brown while mine were more dark chocolate. Nobody likes dark chocolate. At least, nobody I know of.
“Well, I have a way of knowing. I’ve actually seen this all before. It’s like Déjà vu but it’s not,” she said. A way of knowing, I thought. I suddenly knew.
“You have the gift of knowing!” I exclaimed. She blushed. She would have been a bright red except for the fact that her skin was as white as paper. Well, not that white. The bright red showed as a light pink. Sama ducked her head.
“Maybe,” she whispered.
“Well why did you say ‘yes of course’? Who were you saying that to?” asked my dad impatiently.
“I saw All Eyes or All Talk telling me that they were sent from Grandpa,” she said, her milky eyes seemed even milkier. Or maybe that was just my imagination.
“Oh, that’s it?” asked my dad.
“Yes, nothing too important,” she said loudly. Then she whispered so softly that I could only hear it, “Not yet.” My dad nodded.
“Of course. Well, I’ll try to take care of everything. You all just go on up to bed now. Get some rest,” said my dad. Grandfather had appeared out of thin air and with him he carried Drew’s body. Someone else in Drew’s body. Grandfather put him into a glass tube and that was the last thing I saw before I was dragged out of the room. When we got to Sama’s room, I walked over to her. Katie went to get dressed but she would be back soon so I had to act fast.
“What did you mean ‘not yet’?” I asked Sama.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said, her milk chocolate eyes froze.
“I heard you. Is it about me?” I asked. I somehow knew what the answer was going to be.
“Yes,” she whispered. I could feel my dark chocolate eyes darkening.
“Then you should tell me,” she took a deep breath.
“Should I?” she asked.
“Um, yes. I deserve to know,” I said.
“Are you sure?” she asked.
“Stop stalling and just tell me!” I exclaimed. She took a deeper breath this time.
“Have you ever kissed
