I just couldn't believe it, she.. Haley's daughter, a Sheltter. She was my mother.

I couldn't take it anymore. I looked at Beck and Cat. They were both worried about me, I could tell. But it was obvious that Mia didn't know what the wizards wanted. It was obvious that she had been hiding all her life. She was afraid of what they would do to her and she didn't wanna risk her life for me like her mom did for her.

But it was okay. I didn't need her. I had Daniel, Cat and Beck; we could figure it out ourselves.

"We have to go." I said as calmly as I could. Everyone nodded and Beck took my hand in his.

"Look, I-" Mia started to say. I turned around and ran as fast as my legs would let me. I saw the school and it was opened so I entered and sat down the empty hallway, my head and back resting on the door of Beck's locker.

"I knew I would find you here." I heard his voice at my side. "Oh, Jade. Don't cry." He sat down next to me and put me on his lap.

"I need to call Daniel." I sighed. Beck wiped my tears with his lips and kissed my cheek.

"You are gonna tell him?" He asked and I nodded. I had never kept any secrets from my brother and I wasn't going to start now. "Maybe you should wait until he is back." He suggested and I agreed.

"I wanna go home." I sobbed. I hate feeling so weak, but it had been a lot for today and I was really exhausted. He nodded and picked me up

Bridal style. I couldn't help but smile and fell asleep in his arms.

..…

I woke up to the felling of Beck's lips on my neck.

"Hey!" he greeted me once he saw I was up.

"What time is it?"

"Almost seven."

"Beck! We have to go to school!" I yelled as I got up. He quickly tugged me down again.

"No we don't. I told Cat to tell them we are sick." He smiled. "You need to rest and I'm staying here with you until Daniel arrives."

"Thanks." Our lips locked. I loved the way his lips crashed into mine, I felt a lot better having him by my side.

"What do you wanna do?" He asked when we finally pulled away for air.

"I don't know, maybe go check the other room? I want to see if we can find another clue." Beck agreed and we walked down the hallway hand in hand.

...

It had been 10 minutes and we had only found dust and dried blood everywhere.

"Why don't we order pizza?" I muttered exhausted of looking. "Daniel must be on his way back anyways."

"Kay" he answered and I walked towards the door, suddenly I felt the floor under me go weak and before I know it, I'm on the ground and a sharp pain crossed my ankle. I screamed and Beck knelt down beside me. I winced at the contact of my ankle and his hands.

"Are you okay?" He asked and I could tell he was worried.

"I think I twisted my ankle." I sighed and look down to the floor. The wooden tablet had gotten out of its place and there was a hole. It seemed really deep. Without me needing to say anything, Beck started moving the other tablets, creating a hole big enough for me to see a ladder.

"I need to go down there; I think we might actually find something important." I said, my twisted ankle long forgotten.

"You can't go, Jade. What if you fall of the ladder? I can't go in there to help you, the hole is too small for me and we can't make it any bigger or the entire building may collapse. " He explained.

"I'm sure that when I get down there, there will be a door or something for you to enter and I'm not planning on falling of the ladder. I know my ankle is not okay, but I have climbed up and down trees my whole life. I'll be fine." I whispered planting a cast kiss on his lips and holding his hand firmly so that he can help me down.

"Please be careful and don't touch anything until I'm there with you." He smiled and helped me.

I have to admit that it was a little dark and I didn't see much. My ankle hurt as hell, but I was too stubborn to go up again (Daniel's words not mine). I was half way there anyways.

"Are you okay?" It wasn't until Beck yelled that I realized the fact that I had gotten so deep down.
The ladder finally came to a stop and I cried out in pain from putting mu foot on the ground. "That is it. I'm coming."

I heard him move a couple more tablets carefully, trying to move a little, I found the wall and start looking for the light switch with my hands. (if there was one there). I felt Beck's arms around my waist and smiled involuntarily.

He reached for the light switch and turned it on. There were two chairs, one on each side of the small room and a lot of boxes, probably more than 45. They seemed to be full of papers.

"What do you think those are?" I asked Beck and leaned on him, trying to stay standing, without putting my foot on the ground.

"I don't know but we should probably check it out." He said, carrying me to one of the chairs and helping me to sit down.

We started looking through the boxes; there was nothing but bills and birth certificates.

"Hey, look at this." I said handing him MY real birth certificate.

"Veronica Sheltter. Mother: Mia Sheltter. Father: Unknown. Birth date: August 24 1995. "He read.

"I still can't believe it." I said. "Everything I once believed in is not true. Not even my name, my birthday, my brother." I sighed. "Veronica Sheltter."

"You are who you want to be, Jade. If you wanna be Jade West, nobody is forbidding you to do so." He said, rubbing my back.

"I guess you are right."

A/N: I had planned a longer chapter but I felt really bad for not posting the whole week, I really have no excuses, I was just too lazy. I know, kind of filler, but next chapter the action starts! Please review and you get a sneak peek!
