Life is the first gift, love is the second, and understanding the third. Build bridges, not walls.’
Craig relaxed when he used the Binocular given to him by David to look once again. He saw Nora and David eating and she was smiling at something that David was telling her.
He was about closing his eyes when a car pull up beside him, and a second David came out.
“David?” Craig was shocked when he saw David coming out from the car looking worried. “How did you get here so fast and came with a car?”
“Uncle please where is Nora?” David asked ignoring his question.
“You are with her, both of you were eating.” Craig answered and used the Binocular once again, he was surprised when he saw still saw David and Nora eating.
“What’s going on here, why are you two?”
David confused by what Craig said collected the Binocular from him and looked towards the direction he had seen Craig look at.
The binocular fall off from his hand from shocked. He turned his shaking eyes towards Craig, “Whoever that is with Nora isn’t me. I am the real David, It wasn’t long when I came home and my father told me how someone, which is not me, took you and Nora down here.”
Craig picked the Binocular from the ground and looked to see if they are still there, they were still there.
“Let’s go over there and check.” Craig announced and left with David trailing behind.
They got there.
“Hey Nora get up, whoever is with you isn’t the real David, the real one is with me.” Craig told Nora.
But the girl wasn’t obeying, she kept smiling at David.
“Didn’t you heard what your uncle just said, stand up and let’s get out from here.” David spoke this time.
Again, Nora ignored him.
In anger David tried to pull Nora to her feet, he was thinking the fake David sitting across her perhaps cast a spell on her.
But he and Craig got the shock of their lives when David who had wanted to pull Nora up forcefully couldn’t grab her. She was like air.
In the presence of Craig and David, Nora and the clone David vanished together with the table, chair and food.
Craig realised he has been tricked, whoever that did this surely has magic.
They began searching for Nora all through the hills, with their focus on finding her, they didn’t noticed the helicopter leaving the hill.

Lora was happy as she drove home.
“You did well Dee, but, did you also know that Ora was my twin?” Lora asked the empty car.
“No, I didn’t even know she was the one.” The familiar unknown voice answered.
“Even me, it baffles me a lot when I saw the girl I have been dying to meet was my own twin sister. But what still remains a mystery to me is how she… dance.” Lora said in thought. “Nora that I know don’t know how to dance talkless of dancing a ballet. I thought after the incident, she would kill herself in Floda or suffer in silence.” She added.
“Yes, anyway at least she is now out of the way and David will be mine.” Lora laughed after that. “Now, I should focus on how to get Paul to love me.”
“Yeah Lora, this would be the second time you’d pushed Nora.” The unknown familiar voice spoke again. “It will only take a miracle for her to survive this time.” She added and laughed alongside with Lora.

Somewhere in a Hospital:
Nora blinked her eyes to be sure she was not dreaming. She can see, she hopes this is not a dream.
But it wasn’t, right in front of her was Daisy hovering over her in circles. It looks like she was the only one who could see Daisy.
If she could see miraculously does that mean she could talk?
Deciding to try her luck she called out, “Daisy?”
She gasped out in shocked when she heard a feminine voice which called out Daisy name.
Was that her voice?
How is this possible?
“Hey, I am not Daisy but Paul.”
Nora suddenly licked her dry lips as she regarded the handsome guy once again, this time much slower.
She couldn’t find a way to describe the words but all she knew he was hot. She blushes when she realized how long she has been staring at young man who also was staring back at her with seriousness.
Strangely enough it looks as if she knew him. His voice… his voice sounds familiar.
She glanced at Daisy to be very sure she wasn’t seeing double, Daisy was smiling at her.
Daisy faded some years ago so how come she was here?.
“Where am I? What happened to me?” Nora asked trying to test if truly she could speak again. Her voice flow with ease as if she has been speaking since.
“You’re at the hospital, you fall off from a hill and I brought you here.” Paul responded leaving out Lora’s part, though he was surprised that the beautiful girl in front of him could actually talk and see.
So does it mean she was pretending to the whole world that she was blind? Well sooner or later he would find out.
Nora quickly remembered what happened. She smiled to herself, Lora didn’t know what she has done, what was taken away from her has been given back to her by the same person.
“Are you okay?” Paul asked as he saw Ora smiling out of blue.
Again, that smile looked familiar as a blurry image came into his head.
“I am fine, so how many hours have I been out?”
“Hours? Today would make it the third day I brought you here. I am glad you’re finally awake, let me go and call the doctor.” Paul said and left to call the doctor before Nora could reply.
Three days? She was in the this hospital for three days?
“Yes nora.” Daisy voice brought her back.
Nora pushed aside her worries for now and asked. “What is happening daisy, you died and now I can see you. I was pushed down by my twin sister again and woke up to find out I could actually see and talk, what is going really going on?”
“First we are at a Hospital when we are really alone, I will tell you why. And for your first question, I didn’t die Nora. I have been with you throughout the years but sadly you couldn’t see me. For me to come to your world, I have to give up something I really love, my dance. How did you think my twin sister came to live in your world?” Daisy explained.
“So no one can see you except me?”
“Yeah, we are both connected in many ways Nora, the dance I taught isn’t an ordinary dance, I will explain more later, but for now you should know your love trial has begun. I am afraid it will be very hard for you to triumph Nora.”
