"…what…" This has to be some sick joke you're playing. Yeah right, I'm not related to my parents. I'm not their child." I laugh, but I know he is telling me the truth, I just can't understand this. I break down crying.
"I know this is hard. There is more. You may not know it yet, but you will have powers that are unheard of. Let me ask you something…how many memories do you have of spending time with your parents…as a little child?"
Between sobs I'm able to say,"Um….? A couple, but who really remembers everything when they were a little kid?" I ask being very confused.
"Five years ago, we found out that a certain women would be able to render those powers to bind his powers together and bring them forth to utter desolation. This woman found a box that had Milo Rambaldi's DNA in it. This was after I had stopped working undercover in SD-6 and Irina Derevko. I was sent later to work undercover with a group called the Covenant. They were very Rambaldi orientated and wished to see this prophecy fulfilled. We found out that the prophecy called for the woman's eggs, and Rambaldi's DNA to be placed together. This woman was to carry his baby, and deliver it.
"Who is this woman?" I speculate.
"…you will find out some time in the near future," he replied in a cryptically.
I just leave that be since I know I'm not gonna get anywhere if I pester him.
He continues, "The Covenant "stole" her eggs by kidnapping her and "brainwashing" her. She was able to escape, but before she did she had a memory erasure procedure done on her brain. She did not want to remember what she had done and therefore, she woke up later in Hong Kong, not knowing where she was or what happened to her. After she had recovered and gone back to the CIA to discover the two years she lost, she found out about how the Covenant believed that she was the woman in the prophecy, and stole her eggs. Unfortunately, I was under strict orders to keep the vials of her eggs and the dna away from her. I wish I was able to help her, but my job kept me from that. So she knew we were going to carry out Rambaldi's mission, and destroyed everything we had. Or she thought. I managed to escape her fury and salvage some vials and continue with the prophecy myself. I have since stopped working undercover for any terrorist group, and devoted all my time to successfully accomplish Milo's goal, and I did…that child that were formed from this woman's eggs and Milo Rambaldi's DNA, and is to have the power to unleash Rambaldi's wrath…is you, Adrienne," he finished.
I don't know what to say…what are you supposed to say after you have just been told that you're not your parents child, and you are the result of some 500 year old man, and a woman you have never even met. What am I expected to think of that? This is all so crazy. I don't think I can cry any more since I've practically cried myself a river and drowned the entire planet. Only one single tear falls down my face. I run away from Sark, I run away from this place, I run away from everything. I hear Sark trying to stop me in the background, but now I don't feel anything. I stumble out of the mansion, and look up at the sky I once thought was magnificent, now it's just another memory I had that wasn't true. Everything I am is a lie, everything I have done is a lie, everything is a lie…as I crumple to the ground. I have no energy left in my body to fight anything anymore. Unexpectedly, I feel strong arms wrap around me and carry me back inside to the house.
"…no…," I mumble incoherently, trying to get away from him.
"Ssshhhh….it's going to be alright. I'm here for you," as he walks up the stairs to my room.
"No, you are the one that caused me all this pain," I force out of my mouth.
"I'm sorry I did this, but you have to understand, I never meant it to be like this," he replies trying to defend himself.
"Well, you did a great job of it," I retaliated. For some reason, I'm cannot be mad at him; he has this aura around him that radiates a sense of peace and comfort. Even though I had just heard the most horrible thing one could hear, I felt safe with him. I felt safe for once in my life.
"The truth takes time, Adrienne," he said as he tucked me into my bed as I fell into a dreamless slumber.
