Chapter 16: Sister, Sister

I couldn't believe my eyes. I had never actually taken the time to look at Sadie's face. I have always seen her, but have not noticed until now that she was my sister. I thought it was just a coincidence about the name thing, and brushed it off. All this time, I thought I was never going to see Sadie again, and there she was standing five feet away from me. My mouth was agape as I just stared at her. I could feel the tears coming into my eyes. I closed my mouth and walked up to her slowly. "Sadie; Sadie, it's me Jude," I said.

Sadie stepped away a bit a little afraid of my behavior. Tommy pulled me back by my arm. "Jude," he whispered in my ear. "Many vampires don't remember their life before. Are you sure that's Sadie?"

"Of course it's her!" I yelled at him. "Do you think I won't know my own sister!?" He nodded his head saying he believed me. "Sadie please, I'm your sister. We were in a car crash…and you disappeared. Everyone thought you were dead."

Darius's eyes widen in realization. Tommy looked at him. "D?" He asked. "It's true?"

"It just might be," Darius answered in a dictating tone. "Sadie, when I saved you, you were in a car crash, and were about to be taken to the hospital. I came with my team to check out the accident." Sadie looked at him and listened intently, as did I. "I looked at your mother and sister and knew they were going to survive. But you were dying. I took your body and saved you."

Sadie then stared at me with wide eyes. She was as scared and surprised as I was. "So, Jude's my sister?" She asked pointing to me.

Darius nodded. "I'm not exactly sure, but the story sounds very similar."

Sadie looked so lost. She looked at me and I tried to smile at her. "I'm sorry," she apologized. "I can't do this right now."

She ran upstairs before I could blink. I was about to go after her but Tommy held onto my waist. "Leave her be for now," he suggested. "She's just confused and scared."

I nodded reluctantly.

"Well, since you are here, Jude, why don't we invite you to dinner?" Portia smiled.

Dinner was not a regular family dinner. I was the only one eating, and it felt like everyone's eyes were on me. I felt a little uncomfortable. But the conversations were carrying on like nothing had just happened an hour ago. I couldn't stop thinking about Sadie, though. Why hadn't I seen it before? I looked up the stairs still wanting to go up there and talk to her. I could tell that Kwest was thinking the same thing. I didn't need Tommy's mind reading powers to notice the concern in his face.

I picked at the spaghetti in front of me. I could tell I was eating very slowly and was playing with my food a lot but I couldn't eat. I had just seen my sister and I couldn't even talk to her. It was like I was in a dream and I was waiting for me to wake up. I saw Tommy and Karma looking at each other. Both of them were glaring. It was like they were having an argument with their eyes. I knew Karma didn't like me, and I didn't know why. Of course, I was making Tommy break all the rules anyway. I was putting him and his family in danger just being human.

I excused myself and said I needed to go to the bathroom. I went upstairs where they directed me and heard sobbing. I knew it was Sadie. I quickly looked downstairs and made sure no one saw me. These were one of the times I was very grateful Tommy could not read my mind. I quietly knocked on the door and cracked it open. Sadie's face was hidden in her hands and she was sobbing. When she heard a knock she looked up at me with the saddest expression. But what surprised me most, is that she wasn't crying. There were no tears in her eyes.

I smiled at her sadly. She gestured to me to come in a little further. I did and shut the door behind. We stared at each other for a couple of seconds not knowing exactly what to say to one another. I just wanted to go up to her and wrap my arms around her. I mean, this was my sister who I thought was dead for all these years. "Hi," I greeted weakly. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" Sadie asked. "You didn't do anything. If anything I should be sorry. You have to understand Jude. I don't remember anything of my life before I becoming," she hesitated, "what I am."

"Well, still," I said. "Are you going to be ok?"

She nodded. "Yea, it's just a little overwhelming. But, Jude, you're my sister."

I smiled and nodded. "Yea I am," I agreed.

I went up to her and we hugged. I sighed in relief and happiness. "How about we go downstairs?" she suggested. "I believe Kwest must be worried sick about me."

"I believe so."

We smiled again and I helped her up. Her smiled dropped and she rolled her eyes. "Oh no, not again," she said in annoyance. She grabbed my hand and we reached the top of the stairs. I heard yelling through the house. Then I saw Karma and Tommy going at it.

"I'm telling you Karma, you better watch what you think," Tommy warned.

"Fine, then I'll just say it!" Karma yelled back. "I don't want that human in our house any longer!" She said the word 'human' as if it completely disgusted her.

"Karma!" Shay yelled in a warning tone.

"What!? I'm not the one who brought a worthless human into our house!"

That did it. I sprinted down the stairs and faced Karma. "Hi, Karma," I said with a fake smile.

"What do you want worthless human?" she sneered.

"Oh worthless, hmm," I said acting like I was hurt. "That hurts. Well, I guess I am worthless. I mean I'm not anything like you. I couldn't pull off a disguise like you."

Karma looked at me annoyed. "What are you talking about?"

"Oh c'mon, you don't have to be shy around me. I mean you're hair really hides the devil horns well."

I heard the rest of the family chuckle and I just held my smile. She narrowed her eyes at me and ran upstairs. Shay sighed and followed her. "You know Jude," Portia started, "I think you're going to fit in here just fine."

I smiled at Portia and everyone followed her and Darius into the living room. I was actually having fun with this family. We decided to play a game. Darius called it "White Lies". Two people had to sit in the middle and ask each other three questions. One of the answers would be a lie and we had to figure it out. If we got it wrong we would have to tell an embarrassing story about us. On one team it was me, D, and Kwest. The other was Portia, Sadie, and Tommy. It was basically to know each other better. The first two up were Sadie and I.

I sat Indian style on the carpet and Sadie followed suit. She smiled at me widely and I smiled back. Okay, Jude, you start with three questions," Darius instructed. I nodded.

I put my finger up to my chin in thought. "Um, do you like shopping?" I asked.

"No," Sadie shook her head.

I smiled. I knew that was a lie straight off the back. She might be a vampire, but she was still my sister. I knew her like a book. "Do you love Kwest?"

Sadie looked up at Kwest and smiled. "Very much."

"Okay. And do you like the color gray?"

Sadie cringed and shook her head. I laughed. "Okay, so the lie is…" I trailed off. I pretended that I actually had to think about it. "Shopping. You love shopping."

Sadie looked at me surprise. "Am I that readable?" she chuckled.

I smiled. "No, I just know you. You might be a vampire, but you're still my sister; always will be."

We hugged and got a mocked "awe" from Tommy and Kwest. Since I got it right, Sadie had to switch with someone on the other team. Tommy suddenly sat next to me, faster than human speed. Tommy opened his mouth to ask me a question until my cell vibrated in my pocket. I gave all of them an apologetic look and flipped my phone open. "Hello?" I answered. I kept the phone close to my ear. It was my dad. He seemed frantic as he talked, but also a little happy. My eyes bulged open and the Quincies looked at me curiously. "Mom is where?"
