The Heart Made of Secrets

Chapter 1: Samantha

My name is Samantha Valdez. I was born on October 3, 1330. My parents were good people. I do not know anything about my grandparents because my parents did not talk about them very much. I never questioned my parents about my grandparents. I have a sister named Sara and a brother named Henry. My family is really close, but we have to go through some hard times. I have been in love with a boy named Matthew Romanov. Matthew has a cousin named Nicholas, but Nicholas lived in England. We live in Italy. I want to marry Matthew when I turn eighteen. The black death killed my parents. Sara, Henry, and I went to live with foster parents. Our foster parents' names were George and Sally Wilson. Matthew visits a lot. George and Sally allow Matthew to visit. George and Sally did not have any children. Matthew came to visit me. "Hello Samantha, How are you doing?" Matthew asks. "I am doing good," I answered. "How are you doing?" I ask. "I am doing good. I just miss you," Matthew replied. "I miss you too," I replied. "I got a gift for you," Matthew replied. "What is it?" I ask. Matthew got a beautiful diamond ring out. I could not believe how beautiful the ring was. "Samantha, I love you and I always have. I was wondering when we turn eighteen will you marry me?" Matthew asks. "Yes, I will," I replied happily. Matthew puts the ring on my finger. I was so happy. Matthew and I rush to see Sara and Henry. We told them we were getting married when we turned eighteen years old. Sara and Henry were happy for Matthew and me. The next day I was picking some flowers when I saw a handsome man looking at me. I asked who he was, but he disappeared. I was wondering who that man was, but I try not to worry about it. I did not tell Matthew or anyone else about the man. Matthew was working so he can have enough money when we get married. Sara was hoping she could get married when she was eighteen years old. The Wilson's were trying to find a husband for Sara. They already found a wife for Henry. The woman Henry was going to marry was Claudia Wilson. Claudia was the niece of George and Sally Wilson. Matthew's parents invited me to a party. Matthew's mom got me a dress to wear to the party. Matthew's parents were very rich people. A lot of people came to the party. I saw Nicholas and his girlfriend Crystal. Crystal was very beautiful. Sara was hoping that a boy would ask her to dance, but no one did. I felt bad for my sister. I did tell Sara that she was young and once she was older, she would have a lot of boys chasing after her. Matthew walks me home. I saw the same man looking at us. I did not know what that man wanted. I just ignored him. Matthew kisses me goodnight. I told Sara about the man I saw in the garden. I told her that I think that man is following me, but I did not know why. "Have you told George and Sally?" Sara asks. "No, I do not think they will believe me," I explained. "You need to tell Matthew," Sara suggests.

Chapter 2: Sara

My name is Sara Valdez. My sister and I are really close. Samantha is my best friend. We share everything. Samantha told me about a man that was stalking her. I was worried. I told Samantha she should tell George and Sally, but she did not want to. I wonder why that man is stalking Samantha. I just hope that man will leave Samantha alone soon. I am not really surprised that this man is stalking Samantha. Samantha is a beautiful woman and she has a lot of guys chasing after her. I heard Henry calling me. "What do you want?" I ask. "Sally wants you to help her with the cooking," Henry replied. I rush into the kitchen to help Sally cook dinner. George was still working. Henry was doing yard work. Samantha was helping with the housecleaning. After I got done helping Sally, I went to the library. I got some books to read. Samantha went horseback riding with Matthew. Henry and Claudia were at her parents' house. The next day I saw that Samantha was upset. "What is the matter?" I ask. "Do you remember the man that I told you that was stalking me?" Samantha asks. "Yes, I remember. Is he still bothering you?" I ask. "Yes, he asks for my hand in marriage when I turn 18 years old. Sally and George are making me marry this man. I do not want to marry this man," Samantha cried. "What is the man's name?" I ask. "His name is Paul Connor," Samantha replied sadly. I knew that Samantha, Henry, and I have supernatural abilities. I told Samantha I had a plan. I told Samantha I could shape-change into her and she can shape change into me. I could marry Paul in her place. "I cannot let you give up your happiness for me," Samantha replied sadly. "I also cannot let you give up your happiness. You and Matthew deserve to be happy," I replied. "You deserve to be happy too," Samantha replied sadly. "I will be happy knowing you and Matthew are happy. I will learn to love Paul," Sara replied. I love Matthew as my brother. I do not want Paul to rob my sister and Matthew of their happiness. Later, Samantha and I told Matthew about our plan to switch places so Samantha did not have to marry Paul. Samantha and I have already changed. I have to remind myself that I was not Sara anymore. I was Samantha. Samantha was going to run away with Matthew. Even though George and Sally think Samantha is me Samantha was scared that they would still make her marry someone she did not love. I was going to miss Samantha. I was not going to see Paul until I turned 18 years old. Henry and Claudia were getting married soon. Henry knew about Samantha and me switching places. Henry was proud of me for giving up my happiness for Samantha and Matthew. I was going to wear my mom's wedding dress. Paul has sent me gifts and he has been writing me letters. Matthew did not come to visit because he did not want George and Sally to be suspicious. Samantha's birthday was coming soon. Samantha and Matthew would run away as soon as she was eighteen.

Chapter 3: Samantha

I was already eighteen years old. Matthew and I were already making plans to marry as soon as possible. I felt bad that Sara was giving up her happiness for Matthew and me. Sara told me not to feel bad. Sara was happy about getting married and she enjoys the gifts she was getting from Paul. Matthew and I are going to run away as soon as Henry and Claudia get married. I could not believe Matthew and I are getting married soon. The next day Henry and Claudia got married. The wedding was beautiful. Paul did not come to the wedding. I was sad because this was the last time I would see Sara. I am going to miss her. Sara is my best friend. Sara told me that she will try to write if she is able to. I saw a woman looking at me. The woman was very beautiful. Later, I got my bag that I had already packed and I left with Matthew. I already said my goodbyes to Sara. We are going to live in Paris. Henry and Claudia are moving to Paris too. Matthew and Henry were building a house that we were all going to live in. Matthew and I already got married. I was very happy and I was hoping to get pregnant soon. Matthew and Henry were carpenters. They started their own business and they were very successful. Claudia and I did not have to work. We took care of the house. Matthew and Henry made enough money where we could hire a maid. The next day I saw the same woman that I saw at Henry and Claudia's wedding. "Hello Samantha," the woman greets me. I got scared and I started walking really fast home. The woman was able to catch up with me. "Do not be scared. I am not going to expose you, Samantha. My name is Isabelle and I lived in a hidden dimension on Mars. I am the leader of the hidden dimensions on Mars and the moon. The hidden dimension on Mars is called Silver City. The hidden dimensions on the moon are called Diamond Island and Crystal City," Isabelle explained. Your parents came from Silver City. They escape to earth when Loki attacks Silver City and he kills the king and queen. Your father Roland was a prince. Roland would have been the next successor due to his brother not having any children with his wife. Your brother Henry is the successor to Silver City," Isabelle explained. "I thought you were queen to all the dimensions?" I ask. "I appointed kings and queens to rule in my place," Isabelle explained. "I am not human?" I ask. "No, you are not," Isabelle replied. I could not believe Sara, Henry, and I were from another planet. I knew we had supernatural abilities, but I never thought we were from a different planet. Isabelle told me that we can go to Silver City through the mirrors, but we have to have a star ring to open the portal. Isabelle told me that each dimension has a key that is a star ring. Isabelle also told me that I could visit Sara by mirror transporter. Isabelle gave me five star rings. I rush to tell Matthew, Henry, and Claudia everything.
