Chapter 4 Lover Healed

As what felt like a million sets of eyes looked at her Jahla felt her nerves begin to fill her body. Looking around the table she could see concern in everyone's eyes. It should have soothed her knowing these people were concerned; it only made her feel guilty and unworthy. How could she possible explain why she had never told anyone about Unique? Thinking about her parents and how she would never see them again mixed with the quilt of this secret overwhelmed her. Jumping up so quickly her chair crashed to the ground Jahla ran for the door of the dining room. Just as she reached it she slammed into what felt like a wall of muscle. Just before she hit the ground large hands caught her. Looking up at male she began sobbing "I'm so sorry" The male holding her was a beautiful warrior. Pulling her close and giving her a quick hug he said "Are you hurt? You slammed into me pretty hard! I am Torment by the way" "I am Jahla and no I am not hurt just very embarrassed and ashamed."

Turning to the room of people who now looked more concerned than ever she took a deep breath and with a shaky voice began to talk "Thank you all so very much for your concern and hospitality, but I am unworthy of it." As Blay and Qhuinn jumped up to protest she gave them a sad smile." Dearest friends, please let me explain why my beautiful sister Unique has been a family secret for almost 25 years." Taking a deep calming breath she gathered her words. Just as she was about to start speaking she was interrupted. "Jahla? Dearest sister mine? I will explain everything to them." Jahla turned to see Unique walk slowly into the room her eyes covered by

sunglasses. Rushing to Unique Jahla threw her arms around her twin "I am so glad your ok! I was so worried when you had not woken yet!" Hugging Jahla fiercely Unique replied "Fear not sister I am feeling much better. I love you so very much and want you to know that none of this is your fault. You were forced by our parents to keep me a secret and now I will explain everything to all of you." motioning to the room of people.

Moving to a chair Unique sat down never letting go of her twin's hand. "Greeting to you all, my name is Unique and I am Jahla's Twin sister. I have been kept a secret for a few reasons. First of all on our birthing day almost 25 years ago Jahla was born first beautiful and perfect looking as she still is today. Four minutes later I was born and my parents were instantly upset by my chubby face and body. They had accepted that I would be the ugly twin until I opened my eyes and then they were disgusted. It was at that moment they vowed to never tell anyone I existed. They promised each other that the Glymera would only know of Jahla with her beautiful face and body. That they would never know of their fat defective child. So I kept in the basement and cared for by doggen. Jahla and I didn't even know about each other until 15 years ago." Looking at the faces around the room Unique saw many different emotions mostly anger, sadness and pity. Jahla moved closer to her sister hugging her. Putting her hand under Unique's chin she moved her sisters face so she was looking at her. She removed Unique's sunglasses so she could look into her eyes and Jahla said firmly "You are not fat! You're curvaceous and beautiful!" "I agree" said Blay followed by a chorus of agreements from around the room. Blushing from all the compliments Unique looked down at the table so no one would see her eyes. "Unique I am Wrath the King and I see nothing about you that is defective. I do not see the dirt that your parents saw. Please raise your eyes and see the truth of my words." Slowly raising her eyes Unique looked up and as everyone saw her mismatched eyes the shocked gasps were loud. "You all see my defect and I am sorry to have disgusted you." Unique said as she fled from the room. Jumping up quickly Jahla chased her sister catching her on the stair case. Pulling Unique into a hug they sank to the stairs and cried in each others arms. Unique crying her pain of a life of rejection and Jahla the guilt of her twins pain and the loss of their parents.
