When a hand is placed on my back and an arm drapes over my chest, Alfonso and I both look at stranger. I blink several times this time. I find a very similar face to Alfonso's. Same red hair and green eyes, just the opposite sex. Jenny has come for me. She gives me a brief smile before she uses her arms to hug my head and I…

I hear myself huffing and puffing as Lena and I run away from the terrifying loud cops chasing after us for stealing some food. I start to slow down exhausted but what keeps me going is the terrifying look on my poor sister's face, so I have no choice but to keep going. The police are getting closer and I am thinking thank god they didn't bring the dogs. I grab Lena´s hand and I pull her into an alley that is completely dark hoping to lose the police. We lean against a wall covering our mouths…
