"S-sister? Are you sure? Is this some sort of prank? Where are the cameras?" I say and she laughs at me.

"I like you already." She says with a smile.

"You didn't answer my question." I grumble.

"Of course I'm your sister, your Irish twin in fact." She says.

"Irish twin! We're Irish! We're twins!?" This keeps getting better and better. More things nobody ever told me.

"No!" She goes off in a fit of laughter, leaving me dumb founded. "Irish twins mean we were born in the same year, you dummy!" I chuckle a little at my own stupidity.

"Come with me." She says and turns around.

"Why?" I say.

"Because I have something to show you."

"Uh" I say before she grabs my wrist and twists me through a maze of trees.

"Watch your step." She says and jumps down what looks like some sort of Alice and Wonderland rabbit hole.

"What the-" I say as her head disappears through the hole.

"Clear!" She yells after a second. It's only then that I realize how far down the dark Wonderland reaches.

I could just run off now. I could leave! She's down here, I'm up here.

But of corse I don't, I jump into Wonderland. It's dark and the tunnel is to my surprise, lined with silver. That's weird. Oh god I shouldn't have jumped.

The walls must be lined because there's something, or someone, they're trying to keep out. Or keep in.

The slide ends and I ungracefully land on the floor with a thud. Talia reaches her hand to help me up, but I don't take it and push myself up.

"Why is it lined with silver?" I snap a little harsher then I meant.

"Oh my god what is that!?" Talia grabs my head and cocks it to the side.

"What?" I ask a little annoyed she didn't answer my question.

"You're marked!?" She says gliding her fingers over my scar.

"You're not?" I say sliding my fingers down her neck to reveal that she is, in fact, not marked.

"But your younger than me!" She whines and I can't help but giggle.

"Okay, okay, why did you bring me here?" I ask.

"Marshall!" Talia suddenly screams. With all the silver around, her screaming hurts my heightened hearing.

"What!?" I hear an annoyed male voice come from just past the dark walls.

"Molly's here." She sings back.

"Ha. Ha. Very funny." The voice says as I hear clanking footsteps get closer. "You've used that one on me before, and just because I'm a nice brother I'm going to get up from my peaceful studies to see what the heck you could possibly want. It better not be money because I'm never trusting-" His complaints stop when he turns the corner and sees me. He's lanky with brown hair and brown eyes like mine. His face is skinny and pale and looks like he hasn't seen sunlight or food in days. Unlike his sister who has rosy cheeks and strong muscles. We catch each other's eyes. The world stops as I stare into the familiar eyes of my father.

I realize. I feel stupid for taking this long and not connecting the dots sooner. If Talia is my sister and Marshall is Talias brother, then Marshall is my brother.

In one day I not only find out I have a sibling, but 2. A brother and a sister.

My father. The lies. The things I've believed and never questioned have revealed themselves in one day. How many others do I have? Do I have other relatives? If so, where are they?

Why do my brother and sister have to live underground?
