Under the protection of my twin brother

Chapter 20

Lisa Morgan was sitting in her small but cozy library, surrounded by high shelves of books. Sunlight filtered through the light curtains, casting strange shadows on the floor. She was holding an old book, the cover of which was already well worn by time. Lisa studied each page carefully, as if looking for secret signs in the lines.

For several days now, she had been trying to sort out a complicated case involving the twins, Sarah and Tod. Lisa sensed that they were in danger and wanted to help them, but to do so, she needed to find new clues, new leads. Now, as she delved into ancient texts and archives, she hoped to find something that might shed some light on what was happening.

In her heart of hearts, Lisa knew that the matter was much more complicated than it seemed at first glance. Behind the twins were powerful enemies — Evelyn and Harvey, ready to do anything to achieve their goals. But Lisa wasn't going to back down. She believed in justice and was willing to go all the way to help Sarah and Tod.

During her search, she came across a reference to a secret passage that was rumored to exist within the walls of an ancient mansion. This passage might be the key to saving the twins, but so far Lisa didn't know exactly where it was or how to find it. She decided to continue her research, hoping that sooner or later she would be able to solve this mystery.

As the days passed, Lisa became more and more immersed in the world of old maps, letters, and diaries. She studied the history of the mansion, its former owners, their habits and secrets. Gradually, a picture of the past began to take shape in front of her, which could help in the present.

One day, while flipping through the yellowed pages of one of her journals, Lisa came across a strange reference to "the key that will open the door to another world." At first, she thought it was just a metaphor or fiction, but the more she thought about it, the more convinced she became that it was something real, something that might be connected to the secret passage.

Deciding to test her hypothesis, Lisa went to the basement of the mansion. There, amid the dust and cobwebs, she began to search for any signs that might indicate the existence of a secret passage. Her eyes roamed over the walls, the floor, the ceiling, but everything seemed ordinary, unremarkable.

However, Lisa didn't give up. She carefully examined every rock, every crack, every bump. Just as she was beginning to lose hope, her eyes fell on a small niche in the wall. Something glinted in the niche — it was an old key, covered with dust and rust.

Lisa's heart began to beat faster. She carefully took out the key and examined it. It was engraved with strange symbols that she couldn't quite make out yet. But Lisa was sure that this key was exactly what she needed.

Back in the library, she went back to studying the diary, trying to find any mention of the symbols on the key. And soon she managed to find a description of the secret passage and the conditions for its opening. According to the diary, the key had to be inserted in a certain place in the wall, after which it was necessary to say a spell-a set of words that opened the passage.

Lisa carefully wrote down all the details, trying not to miss a single detail. Now she had the key and instructions on how to use it. But she knew that was only half the story. It was necessary to inform the twins about their discovery, help them use the secret passage to escape.

But how to do it? Evelyn and Harvey are probably watching Sarah and Tod's every move, and any attempt to contact them can lead to failure. Lisa began devising a plan to give the twins information about the key and the secret passage without attracting the attention of their enemies.

She decided to ask for help from Daniel, who had already helped Todd develop the plan. Lisa knew that he could be useful in this situation, and his experience and wisdom could help them implement their plans.

Lisa met Daniel and told him about her discovery. He listened carefully, asked a few clarifying questions, and then suggested his own course of action. They decided that they should set up a meeting with Tod in a secluded place, where they could discuss the details and develop a strategy for using the secret passage.

Meanwhile, Lisa couldn't stop thinking about how important it was to use the key she found correctly. She understood that the fate of the twins might depend on this, and therefore tried to take into account all possible risks and unforeseen circumstances.

The days passed slowly, but Lisa and Daniel worked tirelessly on the plan. They discussed every step, every detail, trying to anticipate everything. Although there were new challenges and dangers ahead, they were prepared for them. After all, the love and freedom of the twins were at stake, and for this it was worth risking everything.

Finally, the plan was ready. Lisa and Daniel decided it was time to tell Tod what they'd found. They set up a meeting in a small cafe on the outskirts of the city, where there were few people and you could talk without fear of being overheard.

Tod was on time for the meeting. His face was tense, his eyes troubled. But when Lisa told him about the key and the secret passage, his eyes lit up with hope. Tod realized that this might be their chance to escape, their chance to escape the trap they were trapped in.

Together, they began to work out the details of the escape plan, taking into account all the features of the secret passage and the possible risks. Tod knew that success depended on their coordination, on how well they followed the plan.

When the main points were settled, Tod thanked Lisa and Daniel for their help. He knew that without their support, he and Sarah would not have had a chance to escape. Now all that remained was to put the plan into action, and Tod was ready for it.

But in his heart of hearts, he knew that there were new challenges, new dangers ahead of them. Evelyn and Harvey will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, and the twins will have to fight for their love and freedom to the end.

Still, Tod felt strong and determined to keep going. He believed in success, believed that he and Sarah could overcome all obstacles and be together. And the key to the secret passage, found by Lisa Morgan, became a symbol of hope for them, a symbol that even in the darkest times there is a ray of light that can lead to salvation.

So, with a plan in mind and a key in his pocket, Tod went to Sarah to tell her about his new chance at freedom. His heart was racing and his mind was full of thoughts, but he knew that now they had hope, now they had a chance. And it was worth fighting for, worth risking everything.

Sarah sat at the window of her room, looking out at the bleak city landscape. There was concern in her eyes, but also determination. She knew that the time had come, that she could no longer delay her escape. Tod had devised a plan, Lisa Morgan had found the key to the secret passage, and now everything depended on their teamwork.

In her heart of hearts, Sarah knew how risky what they were planning was. Evelyn and Harvey are not slumbering, they are ready to do anything to retain power and protect their interests. But the thought that she and Tod could finally be free, live the way they wanted, gave her strength.

Tod came to see Sarah late at night, when the mansion was quiet. His face was serious, his eyes determined. He outlined a short course of action, and Sarah nodded in agreement. They knew that there were dangers ahead of them, but they were prepared for them. Love and freedom were worth the risk.

The plan was that at night, when everyone in the mansion was asleep, they would use the secret passage found by Lisa Morgan. Tod explained in detail how to find the entrance to the turn, how to use the key and spell to open the passage. Sarah listened intently, memorizing every detail.

They agreed that they would leave their rooms at the same time, meet at the agreed place, and then go together to the secret passage. Tod took a small backpack with the necessary things: documents, money, clothes. Sarah also packed the essentials, trying not to make too much noise.

When midnight arrived, the mansion fell silent. Sarah and Tod cautiously left their rooms, listening for every sound. Their hearts were racing and their minds were full of thoughts, but they tried to stay calm.

As they made their way through the dark corridors, they stopped several times when they heard a rustle or footsteps. But each time, the danger passed, and they continued to move forward. Tod led the way, and Sarah followed, trying to keep up.

Finally, they reached the place where the entrance to the secret passage was located. Tod took out a key, inserted it in the lock, cast a spell — and the wall slowly slid aside, revealing a dark passage. Sarah and Tod looked at each other, both relieved and uneasy. They entered the passage, and the wall closed behind them.

It was dark and damp inside. Tod pulled out a flashlight, illuminating the narrow hallway. They walked forward, careful not to trip over the roughness of the floor. The tension grew with each step, but so did the hope of escape.

However, they soon encountered the first danger: in one of the turns of the corridor, Tod stumbled upon a disguised trap. He barely managed to step back to avoid hitting it. Sarah shivered as she realized how close they were to disaster.

Tod examined the trap carefully, trying to figure out how to get around it. After a few minutes of exploring, he found a way around the danger zone, and they continued on. But they were even more careful now, knowing that there might be other traps ahead.

After a while, the corridor led them to a small room with several doors. Tod checked the map he'd memorized and pointed to one of the doors. Behind it was the exit of the mansion, leading to a quiet alley.

Sarah and Tod went outside, took a breath of fresh air, and looked around. There wasn't a soul around. They realized that the first stage of the plan was a success, but there were new challenges ahead of them. They had to get to the place where Daniel was waiting to help them escape from the city.

The twins hurried to the designated spot, keeping to the shady streets and avoiding crowded places. They knew that Evelyn and Harvey would probably have already discovered their absence and started searching. Every minute counted.

Along the way, they had to change their route several times to avoid the patrols, who seemed to have been warned of their escape. Sarah's heart skipped a beat every time they heard footsteps or voices in the distance, but Tod skilfully found cover and they managed to escape.

Finally, they reached the rendezvous point. Daniel was already waiting for them, holding up the documents and tickets for the train that would take the twins out of town. When he saw Tod and Sarah, he breathed a sigh of relief.

— You made it! — No, " he said. "Now we need to leave the city as soon as possible. The train leaves in an hour.

Sarah and Tod nodded, feeling a wave of weariness wash over them. But at the same time, the hope for a new life, for freedom, for the opportunity to be together without fear and care was kindled in their souls.

They followed Daniel to the train station, trying not to attract attention. Each step was difficult, but the thought that they would soon be safe gave them strength.

At the station, they bought tickets and took seats on the train. As the train pulled away from the dangerous city, Sarah leaned against the window and watched the buildings recede. There were tears in her eyes, but they were tears of joy and relief.

Tod took her hand and gave it a little squeeze, and she felt the warmth of his hand soothe her. They looked at each other, and the only thing in their eyes was, " We did it. We are free."

But deep down, they knew that this was just the beginning of a new stage in their lives. New challenges and new dangers await them. Evelyn and Harvey won't leave them alone until they get their way. But now the twins have a chance for happiness, there is hope for the future. And it was worth fighting for, worth risking everything.

The train sped on, taking Sarah and Tod into the unknown. But they knew that as long as they were together, as long as their love was alive, they could overcome any obstacles. After all, they have each other, and this is their main strength, their main hope.
