Some people are not to be trusted.
Like the Old Man, I mean who tries to convince their two year old son and wife that their two year old daughter is dead of SID's when they clearly aren't just so they can try to admit them to a mental hospital.
All because the kid can't talk.
Well 'Talk' conventionally anyway.
I can talk just not to anyone but my Twin and only then within the confines of our minds (a good thing to 'cuz it let To-T'nee tell Jarvee that I was actually locked in the car). I think it's called telepathy but I'm not sure because I can't ask anyone but To-T'nee and I don't trust anyone but him and Jarvee. To-T'nee doesn't know the answer though and Jarvee works for the Old Man and if we tell Jarvee and He finds out He might fire Jarvee.
Oh, I meant to say earlier but my name is Kayla Diane Stark but I prefer Kadia or KayDee which is a mash-up of my first two names as well as something only To-T'nee calls me like how I call To-T'nee To-T'nee. My brothers full name is Anthony Edward Stark but he prefers Tony or To-T'nee.
Both of us are genius's but not in the same way, To-T'nee is really smart with Tech and that stuff but I'm better with other stuff like Bio-mechanics, I have to be if I want to get my synthetic voice box to work so I can talk to other people not just To-T'nee. I bet though mine and To-T'nee's minds are gonna be able to create awesome stuff like AI's and robots and Cyborgs limbs like in Judge Dredd (Awesome tech but for some reason Jarvee keeps confiscating my collection I mean come on I'm nearly six and both me To-T'nee can build stuff so I don't get the comic issue). The Old Man doesn't seem to want to build fun stuff like that and keeps calling it useless, I told Jarvee that the Old Man wouldn't think so if he lost a limb but only To-T'nee laughed.
The Old Man's getting worse though, I've been smelling that stuff Anna uses to clean grazes on him almost everyday I see him and just the other day I nearly got a broken bone from His hand plus To-T'nee nearly needed stitches because He gave him a broken glass to hold. If our special gifts didn't keep us from to bad an injury I think we'd have to go to the Hospital. I'm glad we didn't need to, Jarvee took a cat that the Old Man hit to the animal Hospital and it didn't come back and neither did the gardener who Maria knocked of the ladder when he went to the Hospital. Me and To-T'nee are sure that anyone going into a Hospital is made to go someplace else but we still don't know why. I asked To-T'nee once after the Old Man burned are 'Robo-Dog for the blind' blueprints if we should go to the Hospital so we'd escape the Old Man but he made a good point, here we have Jarvee to help us and a "devil we know" plus what if we ended up with someone who didn't let us play with tools or even stay together. Man I think we'll just have to stick to it for now but I s'pose it's always an option later.
My writing's gotten better as the page proceeded plus it is nice to get things out without needing To-T'nee or ASL so maybe I'll keep writing in this journal, providing I find a place only us Twins can get to it. (Kadia, age 5yrs&48wks)
