Reunited
Tasha's P.O.V
Tasha,
I am trusting you and only you, with this secret because you're the only one I trust with my daughter, Allison Ozera. Please make sure you take good care of her and not to say a word to her or Christian about this letter and secret it holds. Allison is your daughter now and no one will question it, not even Christian.
Don't forget Christian will help look after and take care of her; she is his cousin after all. And if he decides he wants to live at Court, she could go stay with him if she becomes too much trouble.
I truly do not want Christian to find out that his twin sister is a restored Strigoi.
I swear I never thought that they would take her, that is why Lucas and I turned willingly, so we could get our beautiful daughter back to her brother but when we got to her, she was already one of them.
Just so you know, Allison looks exactly the same before she was turned, same age, which means she is a year younger than Christian, same everything except the knowledge, the true knowledge about you and Christian.
Oh, and one more thing, Christian doesn't remember Allison or what she truly was to him, the only thing he should remember is that he and Allison are cousins and the same goes for Allison.
I am truly sorry and the knowledge that Christian and Allison know is not going to last forever but long enough to find another way around this mess. Please, please take great care of our kids.
Moira Ozera.
I have read this letter over a thousand times and it always makes me cry. The secret I have kept for so long, still feels the same way it did the first time I read this letter. What Moira and Lucas sacrificed for the sake of their daughter and the impact it had on their son. No one should ever have to go through that, but we Ozeras have an unlucky side that just begs for times like this.
I read it again once more and noticed a very important piece of information I had obviously missed, reading it the first few times:
The knowledge that Christian and Allison know is not going to last forever but long enough to find another way around this mess.
I didn't know what Moira meant by that then and I still don't know what she means by it now. I wish I could ask someone for help but this is a secret Moira and Lucas sacrificed their lives for and it was Moira that practically begged me to keep the secret, I had to do this for her.
Well, just like Moira had hoped, Christian was living at Court, thanks to his girlfriend, Princess Vasilisa Dragomir. I hope that Lissa will become friends with Allison while Rose is away.
So, that is why I have decided to take a vacation for a few weeks and will be leaving my darling niece, I mean daughter, in the capable hands of my darling nephew, Christian. I really hope, like Moira, that he does take care of her.
I left my room but not before I put Moira's letter in a special box that Allison got for me.
I went to Allison's bedroom and I knocked on the already opened door."Have you finished packing? You know you leave tomorrow" I asked my daughter. She stood up and turned around to face me. She was wearing a black knee-length dress and no shoes, her jet black hair was silky and shimmered in what little light was in her room, she wore her hair down and it clung to her waist and was perfectly straight and suited her Moroi pale complexion. I also noticed that her finger and toenails were painted black. "Almost" Allison said in a tone that was so very close to Christians.
Being like Christian, she wore dark colours like black, purple and blood red, but I never thought that they would have the same attitude.
I knew I was in way over my head here and that was the other reason I am sending Allison to Christian, hoping that Vasilisa's nice and polite attitude might rub off on Allison, but one can only hope for such things.
Allison's P.O.V
I couldn't believe that my mother was ditching me and going on a vacation. Oh well, as long as the Court would be fun but I highly doubt it.
I finished packing and laid the clothes out that I was wearing tomorrow and went to sleep.
