Chapter two

Previously

She looked from the photo to her mom 3 times before finally finding her voice, "you're a twin??"

Ashley had many thoughts rolling around in her head that she couldn't form sentences 'Why didn't she tell me? Did she not think I wouldn't want her in my life? I have an aunt?' Ashley started pacing now she that had gotten over her shock of trying to make sense of all this.

"Twin?" Will questioned confused, Ashley handed him the picture. The photo was black and white. It had two ladies that looked to be in their 30's, but knowing Helen's gift Will thought maybe they were older. They sat side by side wearing the old style Victorian dresses, both had long curly hair that fell over their left shoulders. They were both beautiful, but this wasn't what had caught his eye. They both looked so care-free, like there was nothing in the world that could bother them. The picture had captured a slight glint in their eyes that seemed like they sparkled. He couldn't tell which one was Helen and which was her sister as they were identical in every way.

"Wow" was all Will said.

"Wow? That's all you can say?" Ashley screamed at him "She kept a whole part of her life secret from us and all you can say is wow?" Ashley couldn't take it anymore she, all but ran out of the study slamming the door so hard on her way out it made everyone in the room wince.

"well…that went as bout as well as I expected" stated Helen, putting her head in her hands. 'How had things become so bad, why didn't I just tell her….You know why' answered apart of her brain which she quickly told to shut up.

"Don't worry Magnus I'm sure she'll calm down, this isn't your fault" Will placed a comforting hand on Helen's shoulder Helens head snapped up at his comment.

"No it's his" she looked directly at john and stated "If you had just kept your mouth closed, she would have never known" Helen paused "I'm not going to contact her" she stated before she, too, walked out of the study slamming the door behind her

"Now I know were Ashley gets it from" muttered will as he left to finish his reports.

After storming out of the study Ashley headed straight to the place she always went when she was annoyed, the shooting range. She went through three clips of ammunition before getting vontolr of her emotions then headed for her room. When she open the door she shocked at what she saw, her mother pacing about her room like a caged tiger.

"Mom?" Helen's stopped and looked at Ashley "What are you doing in here?"

"Ashley….I was just waiting for you to come here" flapping her hands around indicating the room "so we could talk" Ashley's surprise over her mother being in her room began to wane, her anger returning.

"I don't want to talk" she snapped,

Helen cringed knowing she deserved that,

"I know you're angry at me…"

"Angry?" Ashley cut her off "I'm well passed angry….Get out!!"

"Ashley please" her mom begged but Ashley was in no mood to listen

"GET OUT" she screamed Helen turned knowing she wouldn't be able to talk to Ashley until she calmed down. She plucked another picture out of her pocket and held it out for Ashley to take.

"What is it?? Another twin you haven't mentioned?" Helen didn't answer as she walked past Ashley, thrusting the picture into her hands as she continued towards the door.

Ashley glanced down at the picture she was now holding it was of her mom holding her as a baby.

"Why are you giving me this? It's a picture of you holding me as a baby" Ashley's confused question stopped Helen.

"That's not me" was all Helen said before walking out of the room. Ashley stood rooted to the spot. 'This was her aunt? Her aunt knew she had a niece? Why didn't she keep in touch? Why didn't she want to know me?' A thought struck Ashley. She ran from the room calling her mom. Helen stopped, turned and waited for Ashley to catch up to her when she heard Ashley calling.

"What's her name? I don't know what her name is" she asked as soon as she has caught up.

"Samantha. Her name is Samantha" Ashley nodded as she looked down at the picture she was still holding, whispering the name. Helen stood and watched as Ashley walked back to her room eyes still on the picture.

Back in the study John was sitting alone deep in thought. Having reached a conclusion he pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number he had only used once before.

"It's me, yes I found her" he told the other person "I need you to find someone else for me." He paused.

"Who?" the voice on the other line asked John hesitated a moment before giving the name.

"Samantha Magnus."

"Six hours," was the reply, then the line went dead.

"I am sorry Helen" John said to the empty room.
