A/N: I don't own anything except Gwen, Fi and the plot.
I'm having fun with this! ^_^ Please review.

The stiches and bruises stood out alarmingly on Gwen's pale skin once Sara had washed much of the dried blood away.
"I don't know if cleaning you up was such a good idea." the dective said as she stood back to look Gwen over, "We don't have time to get to your hair. For now, we'll just tuck it under the hat Ian brought you."
With her pale hair tucked beneath a gray winter cap the young woman could have passed for an adolesent boy in her sweat pants and long sleeve black skater shirt.
'He thinks of everything.' Sara thought before leading Gwen outside to the detective's waiting car.
"I need to take you in for questioning." Sara said as she watched Gwen climb gingerly into the passenger seat, "Do you speak any english at all?"
"Not much." came the heavily accented reply, "But I will learn."
"Thanks."
"What gender was your attacker?" Jake asked as perched on the side of the dull table in the mirrored room.
Gwen stared up at him for a moment then turned to Sara, "Gendor?" she asked slowly.
"Was it a guy like Jake or a woman like myself?" Sara supplied as she leaned against the wall.
"A guy." Gwen said after a few minutes.
"Could you describe him?"
Gwen looked quite lost and then shook her heed in an annoyed matter, "No words." she said, bringing her hands up to her face, "Old."
"He was old?" Jake glanced to Sara, "How old?"
"I know not!" Gwen glared at Jake, then said, "Ink."
"What?" Jake asked, confused.
"Ink." Gwen pointed to Jake's pen then held her hand out.
"Sara-?"
"Give it to her." Sara interjected, "Lets see what happens."
Reluctantly the blonde handed his pen over and stood beside Sara. They both watched as Gwen looked the pen over from tip to end many times before breaking the silver casing in half.
"Hey!" Jake stepped forward but Sara held him back.
"Go get something blank and big." Sara instructed, "Quick."
Jack returned with a large chunk of cardboard, "Will this work?"
"Yeah. Put it in front of her then stand by the door." Sara's eyes were on the back of the gray snow cap as Gwen set to work.
*************
"I can't believe i missed that." Danny said with a smile, "She broke Jakey Boy's pen and then made you a detailed drawing of the creep that killed her sister?"
"A damn good drawing, at that." Sara sighed, "I don't get it, Danny."
"What, Pez?"
"How is it that the girl that was killed yesterday can be Gwen's sister, her twin." Sara placed her feet on her desk and stared at the ceiling of her office, "Fiona's birth was recorded but Gwen's wasn't....who delivers twins and then only records the birth of one."
"It doesn't make sense. I know. It kept me up all night." Sara turned to face her partner and saw that he was also staring at the ceiling as though it held all the answers they needed.
"She doesn't even speak alot of engish though she seems to be picking it up fast."
The progress Gwen was quickly making in getting herself heard and understood was amazing to any and all who knew her story.
"Gwen's asking for you." Jake poked his head in and looked as awed as Sara was begining to feel.
"I don't want to stay here." Gwen was saying before Sara had even reached her.
"I have a few things to do here-" Sara stopped as Knottinham's words echoed in her mind, 'Ask her where she was headed.'
Taking a seat next to Gwen on the bench near the door of the station Sara asked, "Where were you going last night, Gwen?"
"To Gabriel." Gwen dropped her gaze to her hands and gestured to the witchblade, "I had remembered."
"This?" the homicide detective pulled her sleeve up, "You've seen this before?"
"I don't remember now." Gwen placed her palm flat against her forehead and sighed, "I hurt."
"Yeah, well, that happens when one is beaten bloody."
"And my stomack is wanting food."
Sara laughed, "Then I guess we'll kill two birds with one stone and stop by Gabriels to get you some food and ask him if he knows you."
***********
"Fuck, Sara, what happened to Fiona?" Gabriel asked as soon as he had opened the door to his shop.
"You knew Fiona?" Sara said as Gwen pulled the cap off and looked around.
"What do you mean 'knew'?" Gabriel asked he watched Gwen circle the room slowly.
"Fiona was killed last night, Gabriel. This is her sister, Gwen." Sara watched the dark haired young man for a reaction.
"Fi didn't have any siblings." Gabriel said as he shook his head, "She was adopted. She use to tell people's fortunes using tarrot cards in here every Friday night.We got to know each other after a while."
"Did she ever mention anyone named Gwendollyn?" Sara asked as Gwen stooped to look at something on one of Gabriel's many shelves.
"Yeah. That was the name of the character she use to write stories about." Gabriel walked over and stood behind Gwen, "Turn. Face me."
Gwen did as she was told and Gabriel stared into her eyes for a long time. She neither reddened or turned away. She just stood there looking back till finaly Gabriel stepped back.
"It's not Fi." he said sadly, "Fi's eyes were yellow."
