Chapter 3- Jess

"Who are you?" Amon asked the young girl cowering in the corner. "My name is Jess…Jessica. Young." Said the young girl cowering in the corner. She couldn't look away from the other young girl who looked so much like her. Although this girl…Robin? Already showed signs of stress, as though she had been though a lot in 19 years of life. "Well…Jess." Robin said in a soft voice. "You need to come with us because we definitely need to ask you some questions." Robin broke away from the semi-circle surrounding the young girl and reached for her arm. "Come on." Jess's eyes flashed angrily and she jerked away, saying "I don't need anybody's help." Wind blew through the cellar, blowing everybody's hair, exposing Jess's diamond pendant.

Amon went to pull out the silver handcuffs that Juliano had given them if the witch didn't require killing. Robin held out her hand and gestured everyone out of the room. She followed after telling Jess that she would be right back. "Amon she doesn't know how to trust. Something's happened to her and if we want to find out anything about her, her craft and why she looks like she does then we can't do anything that might make it so she will never trust us. Alright?" Amon sighed. His wife didn't even have to say alright. He would do what ever she said. He leaned down and rested his lips on hers for a moment before saying "Go do what you need to."

Beky called up Michael. "Hey hon." "hey Beks…have I told you lately that I just love hearing the sound of your voice?" "Umm…yes. Yes. You told me that this morning before the hunt. Anyways this is about the hunt. The witch…you're so not going to believe this but the witch could be Robin's identical twin. They look that much alike." "You're joking!" In the background Beky could hear Beky cooing softly. "No baby that floppy disc is not a toy" she heard Michael's panicked voice say. "Hang on! Ok." "Michael has Juliano left yet?" "No he hasn't. I think he's waiting for Robin to get back before he leaves. So he can say goodbye to her." "Ok. Tell him to wait, I think Amon wants to talk to him about the witch." "Ok. See you when you get back dear." "Bye hon." Beky's scarred face twisted into a smile.

"Hey…Jess?" The timid Robin said as she walked back into the cellar. It was cold in there, and the brutal wind that was being stirred up wasn't helping. "Look could you please stop that? Then maybe I can start a fire and we can be warm in here while we talk." "Why would you want to talk with me?" the young Air user said. "The only people who talked to me decently without calling me names have been my mom and my dad." Robin softly replied "I'd want to talk to you because you seem interesting." "You mean I look identical to you?" Jess snorted. Robin was caught off-guard. 'This girl really has no reason to trust anyone. Is that why she's so suspicious of me?' Changing the subject Robin said "I like your pendant. It looks similar to mine except mine is a ruby." She pulled out the pendant to show the young woman who sat across from her. Jess managed a half smile as she looked at the pretty gem winking in the light from the single bulb. "Jess…what do people do to you that you harbor such a fierce mistrust of everyone?" Jess drifted her hand up to her own pendant hanging around her neck and traced the ridges and bumps in the surface. For some reason she felt what she hadn't felt for another human being she wasn't related to in a long time. She felt she could trust this girl. "They…these boys from in town, they call me unwanted. Because I'm adopted. They said that my real mom and dad didn't want me. They try to hit me, to drive me so I'll use my…whatever it's called so that they can call me a freak. They tell me that that's obviously the reason my parent's…my real ones…abandoned me." Robin's eyes filled with tears at this. Jess continued. "When I turned 18 I started searching, to see if I had any living relatives. All I could find was a grandfather…he lives in Italy. He was the one who sent me this pendant." Robin's eyes narrowed…it couldn't be.

Jess looked up at Robin, the hardness still evident but somewhat receded. "I remember what life was like at the orphanage. People said that I was the baby who was left behind at the hospital. I was there till about age 3 when my parents adopted me." Jess looked back down. "I'll go with you. But you have to promise nothing will happen to my parents." Robin smiled. "I can assure you nothing will happen to your parents." Robin and Jess exited the cellar together, Jess ahead of Robin. When Amon made a gesture towards her, to cuff Jess Robin shook her head. Instead, Jess walked with them back to the office like a friend, right along side, not bound or anything. Amon thought that the only reason that Robin trusted her was because of their similar appearance. Robin had had no time to explain what Jess had gone through. She just walked along side her all the way back to the STN-C office.

When they got there Juliano was waiting. Michael had caught him before he left for the airport and, upon seeing the look in Michael's eyes the Priest knew that the team knew. So he had sat down to wait. And as he waited he considered the best way to tell the two girls-and the rest of the team what was going on, why there was someone who looked like Robin out there.

Robin reflected on the conversation that she and Beky had had on the way home. They had been discussing what Jess was. "I mean it's impossible she's your twin. Twins usually have the same DNA and therefore the same power once they awaken. I was reading old cases the other day…you hunted that woman who was seeking vengeance for her twin? They had the same power…fire. If she was remotely related to you odds are she would have your power." Robin agreed but couldn't help remembering that she wasn't like most people. She was genetically created. She brushed this thought aside, however as she hadn't thought of it since her baby was born. She looked at Juliano carefully as he looked deep into the other girl's eyes. This was the first time he had seen her. Juliano sighed and ordered everyone into the conference room, after handing Michael a diskette. "There's something I need to tell you all." He said grimly.
