Chapter 20

sorry for any confusion caused by the last chapter, that wasn't the end of the story. The story still has a few chapters to go. I couldn't just leave a story like that, that it is just plain cruel.

In this chapter Elektra and Rick will be very very mean to Immy and you finally find everything else there is to find out about Imitari Effingo Odissey.

My boyfriend thinks I'm a stupid cheater and so does everyone who live sin this house. It's hardly surprising at this comment, made by my little sister, that I start crying.

"Hey Immy, Verus is on your side and I guess so am I," Beta says, I look up at her, we have never been close, thinking about it it is ridiculous how little I know about her.

"You are on my side," I said confused,

"Immy, I've been thinking..."

"you called me Immy, you have never called me Immy before," I state,

"well there is a first time for everything," Beta told me, "anyway ever since Fortiter left I sort of realised that us Odissey's need to stick together," she said.

"I thought you hated me for getting us into care," I said,

"I did at the start, Burnywood was hell and then you did a runner and abandoned us. But I guess it is just as much our fault as it is yours. If we hadn't started blanking you, you wouldn't have met Shay and you wouldn't have got into all of that... stuff and you would have never would have told her what you really are and she wouldn't have gone to the Police and our parents wouldn't have been arrested and we wouldn't have been taken into care," Beta told me. I smiled at my sister.

"I never even thought what you are is that bad but when Verus ditched you and decided to replace you with me, I was pleased. I had always been the member of the family that was left out, so I guess pretending to hate what you are was a sensible suggestion," Beta told me.

"I wish I wasn't what I am," I said softly,

"look Immy, no one has a say how they are brought into this world but we all have a say in what we become," Beta told me, "Immy it was never your fault about what our parents did to you. It may be wrong, a violation of laws and human rights, but it has and never will be your fault. You are the same as any other human being, just because our parents wanted to change the world and you were their key to fame doesn't make you any different. Your life is just as important as anybody else's life so stop messing it up," Beta said.

I looked into her blue eyes, after all these I never knew that the thing I needed was a talk with Beta, I cautiously stepped forward and awkwardly hugged her. She froze for a second and then she hugged me back.

"So what do I do now?" I asked Beta,

"get your school report and come to my room in 15 minutes," she instructed and then she walked off. I looked away, why had I always hated her? It was probably because I was jealous, I walked off and just wandered about and after about 10 minutes I returned to my room.

"Look Rick there are other girls who aren't Imitari Odissey," Elektra said,

"it was our anniversary and she was kissing a random guy," Rick replied,

"it was our anniversary and you chucked a picture at me which cut my hands," I said from the doorway of the room and I held up my hands which now had multiple scars running all other them and killed when I tried to do anything to ambitious with my hands.

"Why were you snogging that guy?"
"Why did you chuck a picture at me and not even bother to ask if I was fine?" I asked, Rick just stared at me, so I just strode over to my desk and grabbed the school report.

"What you going to do with your school report? Burn it before Mike sees how bad your marks are?" Elektra asked, "I'm not kidding, I've known some idiots in my life, but I have never met a person as stupid as you. Out of 11 subjects, 2 D's, 4 C's, 4 B's and 1 A. What was the A in? Something like Art which takes now intelligence what so ever?" Elektra asked cruelly.

"Actually it was Biology," I told her,

"what that topic on cloning," Rick said, surprised,

"yes, I got an A in Biology when the topic was cloning, problem?"

"why were you all so cloned people are people too, lets populate the world with cloned people," Rick said.

"Humans shouldn't be cloned, and if anyone has ever cloned a human, that clone should be destroyed because we all know that cloned humans are lower species to real humans. Cloned humans wouldn't be able to feel anything, they would be emotionless, heartless and they would be stupid, a bit like you Imitari Odissey," Elektra said.

"What did you say to my sister?" Beta growled from behind me,

"ooh little Beta, a geek in disguise of a rebel,come to protect her stupid sister,"

"Immy is not stupid, she is just like the rest of us and it wasn't her fault how she was brought into this world and..." Beta said, before she was cut of by Elektra,

"what?"

"you haven't told them, have you Immy?" Beta asked me, I shook my head.

"told us what?" Rick asked, I took a deep breath. The only other person I had ever told was Shay.

"My name is Imitari Effingo Odissey, I was born exactly 9 months after my big sister Verus Humani Odissey. The name Imitari means to imitate, to copy, Effingo means to copy, to duplicate. The name Verus means real, Humani means human. Without the makeup and the hairstyles and the clothes, we are identical. We are effectively identical twins just born at separate times, we have identical to DNA. We are clones. Apart from as the name suggests she is real and I am the copy, the clone. Call me what you want. On the day that Verus was born our parents took a skin cell from her body and they used it to clone Verus. They created me from Verus, I am Verus. After I was born, Beta was born, an ordinary human, not cloned, just normal..."

"a normal ordinary human with no significance to our parents, once Immy was born they didn't need Verus and they didn't care about me. We were left to fend for ourselves from a young age. When we were told Immy was a clone Verus freaked, they always thought about themselves as being similar but she couldn't handle Immy being the same person as herself. We all blanked Immy, we didn't want to get involved. Immy then met Shay, Shay became Immy's new family. But Shay dragged Immy into a load of shit. Immy was only 11. Shay was a prostitute and a kissogram. She always had loads of money and Immy was curious, she wanted to know where the money came from. Which basically lead Immy to start going to parties, where she met Mark, who started using her as a prostitute and passed her around all his friends and then he get Immy pregnant. She was 12, he wasn't happy, him and his gang beat Immy up and she lost the baby, then they raped her after that and Shay reported them to the police. It turned out that Mark had done exactly the same thing to her and that was how she got into prostitution and Mark had got her pregnant and her son was called Harry and he lives in this house. Anyway basically after that Shay just dragged Immy into more trouble and finally Immy told Shay that she was a clone and Shay contacted the Police. The Police arrested my parents and we all got taken to Burnywood. After a while Immy ran away and no one at Burnywood cared apart from then our social worker turned up wanting to talk to Immy. When she realised Immy had disappeared they called the Police and went looking for Immy. They found Immy and they brought us here. End of. Now fuck off and leave my sister alone, it isn't her fault. None of it is. Come on Immy," Beta said, I looked at her stunned, but she just grinned back, she grabbed my hand (the one that isn't as badly scarred) and pulled me from the room.

As she pulled me into her room I started crying, "Ims it isn't your fault," she told me soothingly and she hugged me. "Ok Immy let's see your report," Beta said and I handed her my report.

"Maths C

English B

Chemistry C

Biology A

Physics D

PE C

German B

Spanish C

Music B

Art B

ICT functional skills D"

Beta read, "ok... right... your Biology grade is very good, your grades for German, Music, Art and English are ok. I can see that you need some help with Maths, Chemistry, PE and Spanish, but PE is a useless subject, well for you anyway and you definitely need help with ICT and Physics," Beta told me,

"like I don't know I need help," I told her, "I know I'm stupid Beta,"

"you are not stupid, what you keep forgetting is you missed nearly all of year 9. You ran away from Burnywood and pretended to be an adult on the other side of the country," Beta told me, "Immy you have missed one entire year of education, you aren't thick, you just missed so much, that's all," Beta said.

"Really?" I asked,

"really," she said nodding,

"what did I do to deserve two amazing sisters?" I asked,

"but we haven't been amazing, we have treated you like shit," Verus said from behind me. She walked up to us and sat down with us.

"But we can try again, start again," Beta said,

"make a fresh start," I told them.
