Chapter One: Blood of my Blood
The sky in Dublin, Ireland was cornflower blue on that Sunday. Will hoped the air would stay fresh until he could finally meet the woman who looked exactly like his mother.
Ada O'Malley. Sister of Amelia Zimmerman, the only person left in his entire family. The woman who happened to be the head of a new crew, not unlike the Cabal: "Balefire." Magnus had shown him a picture three weeks before, nearly giving him a heart attack. It was his own blood, someone he didn't even know about, that was spearheading experimentation and the execution of abnormals in the world. And now he was there to pretend to be part of the family.
For the first time in years, he wanted to cry.
"William?" that voice pierced his chest. He turned around in the tea shop to look face to face with Ada O'Malley.
He cleared his throat. "Uh, yeah. Come, sit down." She was timid, looking at him oddly.
Then she smiled, showing a few crooked teeth on her bottom set. Light red hair tossed onto her shoulders as she took a seat across from him.
"I'm so sorry for staring, but…you look exactly like my father. There seems to be no Zimmerman in your blood." Will gagged on his tea, letting out a spray of Earl Gray.
"I guess I should take that as a complement, seeing as I never met the guy."
"You should. Now boy, tell me about you. Better yet, tell me how you found me." Her green eyes were full of curiosity, not missing a beat. Every inch of her body was meticulously draped, her hands no longer moving, no tapping of the feet. She was a pro, he could tell.
Will took a sip of his tea, and looked outside the window at Henry eating out of a hotdog cart with Kate. They were bickering at each other, throwing condiments all over the place. He let out a small smile before turning back his attention.
"Helen Magnus." He said. She hung her head for a moment before letting out a whimsical laugh.
"Of course. And of course, you're here to check on my evil shenanigans. Well William, let me tell you right now since the werewolf and the trigger happy girl are a bit busy at the moment, you should have brought better back up." Her accent flipped around the edges in amusement. Two men and a woman stepped forward from different parts of the shop, none of them clad with any weapons. Ada smiled at Will before reaching her hand out to his.
"It was a nice try, whatever you had planned. It could have been different, you and I. You remind me so much of Amelia."
But she didn't remind him of his mother at all. Amelia Zimmerman had been warm, like a summer day. Ada…she was a snake.
Will looked out to the window one last time to see Kate punch Henry in the stomach and laugh before blacking out.
Whadday think? Let me know!
