Ch. 5 Looking in the Mirror
Faith and Tru said little on the way to the hospital. Tru had to check in with Davis and let him know what had happened.
When they parked behind the building she sighed and looked over at her sister. "Well, do you want to trade stories first, or do you want to meet the guy I work with?"
"I want to talk to you for a little while." Faith replied. "I'm still having trouble believing that you're real."
Tru laughed. "Me too. I keep thinking that I'm going to look away and when I look back you'll be gone."
Faith nodded. "So, are you a doctor?"
"I'm a mortician."
Faith nodded. "I'm sort of a teacher."
"Sort of?"
She nodded. "I teach self defense; but not all the time." She sighed. There was a lot she had to keep from her sister.
"Like a substitute?"
"More like when I feel like it." Faith replied with a laugh.
Tru smiled.
"So tell me about mom and dad and Harry." Faith said eagerly.
"Faith, I'm sorry. Mom died."
"Oh. How?"
Trus' eyes filled with tears. "She got shot. I was hiding in the closet."
Faith immediately felt terrible for asking. She reached over and hugged her sister. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Tru pulled herself together. "Dad's, well dad, and Harry's a pain in the ass. He's going to die when he meets you." Tru stopped and looked at her sister. She was bursting to know where Faith had been all that time.
"I was taken by some people because they thought I was special." Faith said. Tru didn't even have to ask. "That's where I learned all the self defense stuff. They kept me in different places until I was sixteen. Then I went to California. I was doing really well there for a while. Then I acccidentally killed a man." Faith looked at her hands while she was talking. "It changed me a lot. I fell in with people who encouraged me to be a killer. The whole time I knew it was wrong; but I thought that I was evil. Then someone tried to stop me. A friend of mine. We got in a fight in my apartment and she ended up stabbing me. I fell off the balcony and was in a coma for eight months. When I woke up I went to LA for help. A wonderful man I know lives there. I tried to make him kill me; but he wouldn't. Then I turned myself in to the police. I made paroll last year, and Now I live in Cleveland."
Tru was astounded. She could tell Faith was waiting for her to tell her to get out. She put her hand over her sisters. "I understand."
Faith started to cry. She sobbed unrestrainedly. "I loved a man." She said through her tears. "And he died because of me."
Tru hugged Faith tightly. "I know the feeling."
They talked for another hour before they went inside to see Davis.
He was sitting at his desk going through some papers when they walked in. He jumped. "Holy mother of god!"
"What, you thought I was lying?" asked Tru. "This is Faith. Faith this is Davis."
"Hi." Faith said.
Davis was looking between them. "This is freaky." He said.
"Wait 'til Harry finds out." Replied Tru mischeiviously.
Davis laughed. "Take a picture for me."
Faith felt like a huge hole in her heart was finally full. She could tell when she looked at Tru she felt the same way. Suddenly she wanted to take Tru to Cleveland to meet the scoobies. They'd have to know ahead of time so that everyone would act normal. Everyone was going to freak.
"Come on, lets go find Harry. He's probably at the track right now." Tru grimaced.
"Little bro have a gambling problem?"
"That's an understatement." Tru muttered. "I love the kid; but he has bad luck."
Faith and Tru said goodbye to Davis and went out to the car. People who knew Tru stared. She smiled and introduced her twin to them.
They did indeed find Harry at the racetrack. Tru went up first and talked to him for a few minutes. Telling him the fact that she had a twin. Harry was disbelieving until Faith walked up.
"Hi." She said shyly. "Wow, you've grown a lot since I saw you last."
"And when was that?"
"The day I got kidnapped." She admitted.
They helped Harry through his shell shock and then they all went to find their father.
He was shocked when he opened his door to find all three of his children standing there. Faith was forced to repeat her story. Tru held her hand and helped her through it.
Harry called his girlfriend and told her the situation and they all decided to go out and have dinner.
"If only mom was still with us." Tru said sadly. "We'd all be there."
"She's still here." Said Harry, in one of his rare sensitive moments. "She's always with us."
They smiled at him in appreciation and got up to leave.
DInner was a pleasant affair. Fatih hadn't been so happy in a long time. She learned a lot about her family. Afterwards She and Tru went back to her twins apartment and settled down to compare histories in more detail.
Several times during the night, they both wished they could tell each other thier secrets. But each thought the other would think them crazy.
AN: I know that wasn't the best chapter; but this isn't going to get really good until everything is in the open. I suck at the transitional parts. LOL The next chapter will be better.
