Chapter 5: Family Secrets part 2
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, this can't be possible," Venas scoffed in disbelief.
"Why not?" Dr. Kadowaki asked.
"Because I know who my family is, I have a mother, no father and definitely
no siblings," she stated.
"Hm," Dr. Kadowaki said thoughtfully, "who's your mother?"
"Carolie Saberhardt," Venas said.
"I think we should go talk to her," Squall said.
Venas choked back a laugh, "good luck," she muttered; quiet enough so no
one heard.
"We should get going," Quistis advised. They all mounted into a vessel and
made their way to Venas's home. When they arrived, she placed her hand on
the knob and faced them.
"Let me do all the talking," she ordered.
"Why?" Seifer asked.
"Apparently you don't remember she only speaks English with people she knows
otherwise it's French all the way," she stated and opened the
door. "Salut mamon," she greeted her mother.
A woman walked out of the kitchen and kissed Venas on her cheek, "Bonjour,
Venas, ca va?"
"Eh, mamon, ils mon amie," she gestured to the others.
"Oh, hello," she greeted them.
"Ma'am, we'd like to ask you about Venas," Squall stated.
"Alright," she invited them to sit.
"Um, this is going to sound weird, mamon," Venas turned to her mother, "but
did you happen to… find me as a child?" Carolie became silent and looked at
everyone slowly.
"Yes," she admitted. "Desolee, Venas, I wanted to tell you…"
"Mamon, It's okay," she reassured her. "Mama, I have a twin."
"Qui?" she asked. Venas turned and motioned for Rinoa to sit next to her.
They both faced the confused woman. As Venas let her hair down, her mother
gasped. "C'est miroir image."

"So, looks like we're twins," Rinoa said as they left the household.
"Yeah," she smiled as they boarded the vessel again. "You know this does
have its advantages," she smirked.
"Like what?" Rinoa asked.
"Well…" she started, but was interrupted by a beeping sound. Venas raised
her arm and flipped open a small console on her gauntlet. A miniature screen
displayed a girl with long brown hair.
"Venas, where are you?" she asked.
"Desiray, I'm fine, listen be at Balamb in about 5 minutes, I've got news," she
stated and closed the communication devise. Venas sighed and leaned against
the wall. When they had reached Balamb, a figure had their backs turned to them.
She was staring up at Balamb Garden as if examining it with her hand on her
hip.
"Took you long enough," she said.
"Not my fault," Venas laughed.
"So what's this news you have for me?" Desiray turned around only to come
face to face with Rinoa and Venas. Worrying over her mother, Venas didn't
bother to pull her hair up and this startled Desiray. "Whoa, what the…"
"I have a twin," she stated simply.
"I can see that, and this happened how?" she asked.
"It didn't happen, it's been. We just didn't know about it," Rinoa stated.
"And your name would be?"
"Rinoa Heartilly," she shook her hand.
"Desiray Rose," she said shakily.
"So why'd you call?" Venas asked.
"Ugh, I'm having trouble with…"
"Never fear, Dalena is here!" a girl with dirty blonde hair jumped out of no
where and landed in a heap on the floor.
Desiray let out an exasperated sigh, "Dalena…"
"Hi, guys, what's up?"
"Dalena, I told you to wait in the car!" Desiray glared at her.
"Yeah, but that was boring, you need an air freshener in there," she made a
sour face. Desiray let out a frustrated growl and rubbed her forehead.
"It's a convertible, there's air everywhere in it!"
"Says you," she stuck her tongue out.
"Grow up…"
"Why did I ever agree to train this girl?" Venas slapped her forehead.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, this can't be possible," Venas scoffed in disbelief.
"Why not?" Dr. Kadowaki asked.
"Because I know who my family is, I have a mother, no father and definitely
