Evy had no clue what she was doing here; she got the address from Jonathan, but had no idea what she would say. What if he didn't know who she was, what if he wasn't even here, what if she would be trapped in this nightmare forever, never being able to be with her husband and children ever again. The 'what if's' kept coming.
Then a voice entered her head, 'tell him and you can leave' the voice was so familiar, but she couldn't place it, it was the same voice that told her to come here, but she figured that if she just turned around now she could leave, or did the voice mean leave the nightmare? Never had Evelyn Carnahan-O'Connell been so confused.
She slowly raised her hand to the door and knocked on it. Praying no one was home and she could just leave. The door opened and a tall blonde woman with blue eyes appeared. The woman would have made Evy flee, but the fact that something was different about her made her stay. It appeared the woman was pregnant, Evy felt so much fury rise at the fact that this woman could be carrying HER husbands child.
"Hello?" she said confused making it into a question. Suddenly Evy found everything she wanted to say.
"Hello, I'm looking for a Rick O'Connell and was told I could find him here." She said sweetly.
"Yes, he's here." She said, and then yelled upstairs, "Rick! Someone's here to see you! Is he in trouble?" Angela asked confused.
"Oh, heavens no." Evy said faking everything, "I know him quite well." This caused Angela to raise an eyebrow.
"You called baby?" Rick asked as he came downstairs, making Evy even more furious at him calling some other woman her nickname.
"Yes, this woman here says she knows you." Angela spoke and moved out of the way for Rick to see her.
"Rick!" Evy yelled and moved towards him, giving him a huge hug and a kiss on the cheek, making Angela jealous and Rick confused. "You probably don't even remember me, it was so long ago." Evy said pulling away and looking at him.
"Who are you?" Angela finally asked.
"I'm sorry, how rude of me, I'm Rick's little sister, Evy O'Connell." she lied through her teeth.
"What?" Rick and Angela said at once.
"Your sister Rick, don't you remember me? I guess not, it was so long ago."
"Please come in and take a seat." Angela said pulling Evy into the house and closing the door.
Evy took a seat next to Rick and stared at him. "I suppose I should explain." She said to Rick.
"Well let's see," Evy said as she started to come up with a lie off the top of her head, something possible, but convincing, "we were very young when I last saw you. You had to be at least five, I was three, and mom had just died from birthing our little brother, unfortunately so did he. I was crying so much that dad had to hold me to comfort me." she continued picking some of this up from the stuff Rick had told her over the years, but he never mentioned a sister because he was an only child, but if she could convince him he wasn't maybe she stood a chance. Though she had no clue as to how this would get her back home to the life she knew and loved.
"You didn't want anything to do with it so you left dad and me alone to gather our thoughts, well actually for dad to gather his thoughts. That night dad went out looking for you, but couldn't find you, so young and alone, he felt horrible for neglecting you, so he stood out all night looking, well you finally came home the next morning and I woke up with you next to me, I hugged you and cried on your shirt, you just held me and stroked my hair. Later that day some officers came by saying dad had been murdered for his money. You felt horrible; you felt you were the reason for dad's death, so you took me to an orphanage in London, that's where we lived, and told me you loved me and that you'd never forget me. You told me I didn't deserve a brother who brought me pain. So you left me there, and I was adopted by another family, but I never forgot you, everyday I wondered why my brother left me and if he was still alive. The world could be so hard on someone so young." Evy finished near tears, she actually had herself believing this story so much that she was crying.
Evy cleaned her eyes and looked over to Angela was crying and Rick's arm was both of their shoulders. "as I got older I went on a search for you, hoping you were still alive and ok, when I got word you were here I had to come immediately, I even brought my husband." Evy lied again, this time referring to her brother Jonathan as her husband, but she didn't know why, only that she was so caught up in this lie, it was so believable and fool proof.
"wow" was all Rick could say. "I remember most of what you said, I mean I don't remember how mom died or much else, I only remember feeling guilty for dad's death." Rick continued and hugged Evy, "I'm sorry sis, I didn't mean to put you through so much pain." He said into her shoulder. "I just wanted you to turn out ok."
"I know and I did, but I just missed you so much." She said holding him close, sometimes I amaze even myself, Evy thought.
ok, anybody fall for this? let me know, it was late and couldn't think straight so i have to see if this is believable, well please review, i love hearing from you guys
