The woman watch the children play by the sea building sand castles and she smiles at their childish antics, they looked so cute playing house.

She watches the eldest hand a toy to the youngest who was as identical to her sister as they come and she feels a sense of pride, she had raised them well.

Her eyes goes to the youngest and she feels a prick of unease go through her.

Adeline looked too pale and too fragile, just like her twin sister she was just five and already looked like she had the weight of the world on her shoulders. 

She watches them as Adélie the oldest tries to coax her into playing but she stays quiet. 

Adeline had always being a quiet child, infact when she was born she hadn't cried, just stared straight at her mother. 

When she turned one and still didn't speak every one thought the worst and deemed her a mute, even after enough therapy from outstanding doctors over the world. 

Being a politicians wife means that there was money and power attached, these things could not get her darling Adeline to talk. 

On her and Adélie's 2nd birthday she finally spoke saying one word after a child at the party bullied her sister. 

Her birth had been a hard one, taking hours even after her sister had being born. 

Adele their mother watch them now as one plays and the other sits still in the sand. 

She looks away to see if her husband is approaching, he had gone inside to get a soda for Adélie, he's been gone for a while and still no sign of him,she sighs and turns back to look at her children. 

She frowns when she sees no sign of them. 

She looks around, her alarm growing when she doesn't see them anywhere. 

She stands up from the sand and turns around in a circle. 

"Adélie! Adeline!" 

The sound of the waves drowns her voice, a hand grabs her shoulder and she jerks. 

"Addy? What's wrong?" 

She is hysterical as she explains. 

"I.... You..

. Looked away... Can't..." 

The man grips both of her shoulders, dropping the soda pop he held as his own alarm grows

"Addy calm down and speak"

He says and she strings her words together. 

"Addie duex...Addie deux are missing" 

Phillip steps back and looks at the around before turning to his wife. "For how long have they been gone?" 

He asks. "I just took my eyes off them for a while when...." She cries... 

"Calm your self Adele and tell me, for how long have they been missing?" He asks his patience slowly dwindling. 

Adele takes a big breath before speaking. 

"Not more than 5 minutes now" 

"Good girl" Phillip says before bringing out his phone to call the detail he secretly had on his wife and children. 

Being a politician he knew that he had a lot of enemies, he could never take a break. 

Just this once he wanted to go on vacation with his wife and children this happens. 

He finish speaking with his detail and he turns to his wife and pulls her towards the beach house on the private beach. 

He knew who ever took his children might still be lurking around. 

He steps into the house to see Adélie curled in a sleeping ball. 

He sighs in relief, they must have come inside to find him. 

He looks around for Adeline and no sign of her. 

He goes into the various rooms and searches them but still no sign. 

He returns to see Adele crouched in front of adélie, shaking her awake. 

"Mama...?" 

Adélie asks in a drowsy whisper. 

"Lilie where is your sister?" Adele asks and adélie doesn't answer, scrubbing her eyes looking disoriented. 

"Adélie answer me!" Adele shouts now getting impatient. 

"Mama?" Adélie says sounding scared now 

Phillip gently pulls the crying Adele away from the child before kneeling in front of her. 

"Tell me Lilie girl, where's Lina?" 

The scared child slowly looks away from her mother to her father before uttering the life shattering words. 

"I don't know Mama" Adele falls to the ground in a heap and with a wail.

Philip feels his heart stutter and he freezes. 

Adélie looks between them before reaching for her mother, she doesn't know what is wrong. 

She is scared and wants to be held, where is Lina? Lina knows how to hold her hand when she is scared. 

She finches when her mother finches away from her. 

"Mama?" she asks, fear in her voice,she watches as her mother raises her head looks at her with dead eyes before falling into the arms of her husband to cry. 

She looks between them, waiting for one of them to hold her and tell her that it is okay and that she was safe but nothing happens. 

She begins to cry as she understands what is happening. 

She realizes even in her little head and heart that things were not going to be the same.
