Hello. I haven't been on here in a while, I apologize. I've been very busy, but I will get in the swing of things, thanks to a new computer! Yay!
I want to update this story once a week, but we'll see how that goes. If I do, It'll probably be every...Saturday...I hope.
This chapter is mostly told in flashbacks and you'll be learning more about Ally's past.
Okay thanks now you can read the story.
"So Ally," Austin said."What were you doing in the middle of my driveway while it's pouring cats and dogs?"
"Well, it's a long story." I said.
He grabbed my hand in his, which caused me to blush furiously, and led me to the plush white sofa. "Go ahead, this rain won't let down anytime soon."
I sighed. "Okay, well where do I begin."
I was sitting on the slide located next the school that I was currently attending. At nine years old I knew that something was wrong. My brother who often paced the room that we shared, would often mumble incoherent things in his sleep. I'd hear an occasional word like, "Mom" or "Why." As much as I wanted to ask him, I wouldn't. For a fourteen year old he seemed to have a lot on his plate. I didn't want to add to his problems.
"Hey."
I glanced up and looked at the new arrival. It was a tall woman, who seemed very nervous about something, for the kept glancing around nervously. As she appeared, I was able to see her facial features. She had big green eyes and dirty blond hair. Her nose seemed very slim and you could tell she had spent way too much time on her makeup. She wore a navy blue sweater and black pants with stripes on them. She also had on a blazer that matched her pants. With one last glance, she quickly took a seat on the swing next to me. "Are you Ally Dawson?" She asked. I spoke hesitantly, "Y-Yes."
"Look I'm going to get right to the point, I won't tell you my name but I have something very important to give you and you must not open it until your eighteenth birthday okay? It is very important."She instructed. "Okay" I replied. She glanced down and checked out my attire. I had on old ratty tennis shoes with a purple knee length dress. She sighed. "Make sure that you don't show your brother and do whatever in your power to keep it with you at all times." I nodded. She stood up and started to walk away. " By the way, I'll see you sooner or later."
I grabbed my backpack from behind me and pulled out the ratty, old, orange, envelope.
"Can I see that?" Austin asked. I pulled away quickly at the sound of his voice. With his hand still in the air, he repeated his question, this time a bit softer. I gave him the envelope and he was quick to open it.
He pulled out a large packet, which looked like a test to me, and quickly skimmed the first page. His eyebrows crinkled in confusion as he flipped to the next page, turning it over in his hands as he did so.
The more he read on, the more his face changed to a serious demeanor that I found adorable. Wait, what?
Once he got to the end of the packet, a little note slipped out and fell like a snowflake in the winter.
I picked up the small piece of piece of paper and unfolded it. It read:
Hi Ally,
By now, you've opened this and probably figured out everything. There isn't much I can do right now, and I'm sorry for giving this to you when you were young and didn't understand. I'm Kara. Your moms sister. Your mother...well, she had problems. She wasn't suited to be your mother and I apologize. I should have helped you. I know that. It just wasn't safe. I know you think that those people are your parents, wherever they are. They are not. They are apart of a secret service that your mother unfortunately got involved with. They were sent to terminate you but your father, God bless him, managed to get you out. Your father, he's a good man. A very intelligent man too. He was able to erase any trace of your existence. Whatever you do, don't try and find those imposters. They are heartless assassins. Try to find your father, he's the only person you can trust.
Now concerning your, "brother," he's not your real brother. You do in fact have a brother and a sister, but the three of you were separated for your safety. Your brothers name is Tim Rains.Your sisters name is Sam Rains. They left your mothers name while you inherited your fathers. I don't how old they will be when you read this, but to find them, its gonna be complicated. That I can promise you. Your father and I have worked very hard to make sure that you three are safe and undiscovered. To find your father, however, you have to find your siblings. I've included a packet that includes a list of people you need to contact in order to achieve your next step. When you find your siblings, you shall find it much easier to track your father. He'll be waiting. I promise.
Also, don't travel by plane if your going somewhere. Your identity will be compromised and you'll be discovered much easier. Its crucial your not found.
All of this is because you three are very important. More than you could ever imagine.
-Love Kara
By now, my hands were trembling, and tears were streaming down my cheeks. I could faintly hear Austin calling me. I turned to Austin. He looked at me, concern embedded deep in his eyes, written all across his face. All I could do was hand him the paper, I wasn't able to speak.
I have a brother and a sister? Who's my real mom? Who's my real dad? Where are they? What am I? What makes me so special that Kara had to go through all the trouble of hiding me? Hiding my siblings?
Wait. Who's Adam then? He wasn't mentioned in the note. But then how would he be valued in my life?
My head throbbed. I was hungry and tired.
"Ally?"
It was Austin.
I looked up. He was now standing and holding his hand out.
"I barley met you, but you seemed to need help. Now I'm glad I helped. I couldn't imagine what it'd be like to learn this all alone. C'mon. How about we eat and read this," he held up the packet," tomorrow. You seem tired, and its getting late."
My mouth seemed water as mentioned food, which in turn, helped me speak. "Yeah, your right. I'm sorry. I barley met you and I'm throwing this on you."
"I don't mind helping. Now what kind of food do you prefer? Chinese or Mexican," he says smiling, walking into the large kitchen.
And for the first time in a long time, I smiled back.
Eh, I don't know how I liked this ending. It took me a while but, I'll live with it.
Hi Maggie! *waves*
She can't see me but let's pretend she can.
Hoping to update on Saturday, depending on how my week goes.
(You know what I mean Twins)
There's a Mark/Jack reference in there, BTW.
Okay, Bye...So LAME, Kass.
