Helen and Ashley pulled up to the park, and saw a blonde and an older gentleman sitting at a picnic table with their backs to the parking lot. Helen and Ashley got out of the car, shut the door, and started walking over to Jacob and Sam, Helen in the lead. "Jacob?" Helen asked as her and Ashley approached them. Jacob and Sam turned to look at Helen and Asley.

"Helen." Jacob said as he got up to give her a hug. Jacob turned and looked at Sam, who was staring wide eyed at Helen. "Please sit down." Jacob said as he motioned to the table.

"Samantha. How you have grown since the last I saw you. I know what it is that you are thinking. That I look and sound exactly like your mother."

"Yes, but that's impossible. She died years ago."

"There is more to the story. The car accident was anything but accidental. It was on purpose."

"You mean she was murdered?"

"More like attempted murder. Your mother escaped the explosion, and then proceeded to your father." Helen explained, noting the shocked look on Sam's face.

"We talked, and decided for you and Mark's protection that we would say that she died that day. There were some organizations that would do anything to hurt her, even if it meant hurting you kids." Jacob added.

"Are you guys trying to tell me that my mother is alive and sitting across from me right now?" Sam asked, trying to process the possibility that her mother might be alive.

"Yes Samantha. I am your mother. And this is Ashley, your half-sister."

"Oh my God….." Sam said, tears streaming down her face. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? I got that you were trying to protect me, but I needed you growing up. I still do." She took a deep breath.

"I am sorry that I hurt you, I was doing what I thought was best." Helen told Samantha sincerely.

"What do you do for a living? Air Force right?" Ashley asked.

"Yep, Air Force. Deep Space Radar Telemetry. How do you know that?"

"Jacob was Air force, and it fits. Besides, Mom checked up on you."

"You can get arrested for that."

"Nah, Mom has connections." Ashley said, waving her hand as if it were nothing.

"What connections do have that would prevent that?" Sam questioned Helen.

"That is a long story Samantha." Helen replied.

"It's Sam, and I'm not going anywhere."

"I will tell you something that few people in this world know. It started in 1873 at Oxford. I acquired a vial of ancient untainted Vampire Blood. I derived a serum from the sample. Four of my colleagues and I injected it, and each of us received a different gift. We were known as The Five. Nigel Griffin received the gift of Invisibility, James Watson's mind grew to new heights, John Druitt could Teleport, and Nicola Tesla received the most interesting gift of all. The serum brought to life the latent genes of the Senguine Vampiris, Vampires. I received the gift of Longevity. I am 165 years of age."

"Wow. That's incredible. Wasn't John Druitt the main suspect in the Jack the Ripper case?"

"Yes, he was Jack the Ripper. An abnormal latched onto him during teleportation. It caused him to turn evil for a time, until Nicola tried to kill him by electrocution. By doing so, it drove away the Abnormal."

"Abnormal?" Sam asked.

"Abnormals are creatures that most people believe to be mythical or fairytale creatures. Bigfoot, Mermaids, HAPs and many more." Helen explained seeing Sam's eyes light up with intrigue, and not fear.

"He's my Father." Ashley said, wanting her sister to know the truth.

"That had to have been hard at first."

"Yeah, but he wasn't that bad."

"I'd love to tell you what I do for a living, but I can't without authorization." Sam tried to explain, hoping that they would not be upset with her.

"I could make a phone call, but I do not want to make you uncomfortable."

"I don't mind, Mom. If I can call you that.." Sam trailed off.

"Of course Samantha. You are my daughter after all. Call me whatever you are most comfortable with." Helen said with a smile.

"Why don't we head back to my place, and I can make us some tea."

"Tea? You definitely are a Magnus." Ashley said laughing, looking between her mother and sister.

"That sounds wonderful. We will follow you." Helen said as everyone got up, and headed to their cars, and caravanned to Sam's house.
