6 MONTHS LATER
It's been 6 months since I last saw or heard from Chris. After the whole incident in the hospital I got back home to England and continued my studies. All the free time I had, I would spend it contacting people to see if they've heard anything from Chris. I talked with Claire and Jill; wrote to Sheva and Rebecca. Hell, I even contacted Barry, but none of them had any information about Chris. At least all of them promised to help with the search and contact me whenever they find anything
Piers' search party wasn't too effective as well. He would e-mail me from time to time asking to contact certain people or to investigate some sort of information that he had found. Unfortunately, my replies to him were almost all the time identical – no clues on Chris' whereabouts. Even my parents tried their best to help with the search, but there was no result.
Today was June 27th. It has been 6 months and 3 days since the events in Edonia. I was in the university attending one of my classes when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I took it out and saw that an unknown number was calling me. At first I ignored it, but a few moments later the same number called again. *What the fuck?* I thought as I quickly got up and left the class to answer the phone.
- Yes?! – I said a bit annoyed to the caller once I was out of the class.
- Minnie? – I heard a familiar male voice.
- This better be important, pup, because you just made me leave a very important class. – I said irritated a bit.
- We've found him. – Piers didn't pay any attention to what I've said before.
- What? – I whispered holding onto a wall for support as suddenly my legs felt wobbly.
- We've found Chris, Minnie. Just like the doctor said he doesn't remember anything. I think you should come here.
- Of course. Where is he? – I asked.
- We're in Eastern Europe. I'll send you the coordinates in a few minutes. Will you be able to come?
- Yeah, of course. See you there, then.
- Yeah. – He said and ended the call.
I couldn't believe it. Chris was alive and I'll see him probably in just a few days. I didn't even notice how I came back to class, took my stuff and left in a hurry. I came home earlier than I was supposed to and my mom noticed it.
- Minnie, dear, is everything OK? – She asked walking out of the kitchen. – You're home early today.
- He found him, mom. – I said, my voice trembling as I rushed to my room to pack my things. My mother came in after me.
- For goodness sake, child! Who found who? I don't understand.
- Piers found him, mom. Piers found Chris. I have to go and see him. – I told her, putting things into my backpack.
- Piers? Oh, it's the nice boy you've met while you were in Edonia, right? – She asked, her eyes beaming with joy. Sometimes it looked like the reason for her life is to find me a husband.
- Yes, mother. I have to go, really.
- I understand, sweetheart. Just be sure to take care of everything concerning your thesis. You wouldn't want to repeat the year just because you couldn't defend your thesis at a certain day. (Author's note: where I live, in order to graduate from university you have to write a thesis and defend it before your professors. So just bear with me here ^_^)
- I'll take care of everything, mom. – I said as I completed packing my backpack and started changing clothes. I put on a pair of blue jeans, a black T-shirt and put on a pair of sneakers. I grabbed my backpack and rushed out of my room.
- Minnie. – My mom stopped me before I could leave through the front door. – Your sister called. – I could just feel how my heart turned into stone.
- What the fuck did she want? – I growled.
- Watch your language, young lady! – Mom scowled me.
- Look, Ann. – I started. – Almost all of my life you and Frederic treated me as your own daughter. And I see you both as nothing less but my parents. I'm very grateful and have all my respect to you for everything that you've done for me. But that… woman is not my sister. She hasn't been one since that day that she left me in that God forsaken island for 3 years, and haven't showed her face ever since. So I'm sorry if this looks rude to you, but I will never see her as my sister. I can promise you that.
- But, sweetie. She wanted to see you. Many times. You just never agreed to meet her. I am sure that she is very sorry for what she has done to you. If you could just give her a chance…
- She wanted to see me when? 10 years after Chris and Claire got me out of that hell hole? No thanks! I needed her then and there. I was 4 years old, our parents had just died. I needed her then the most. And what did she do? She put me in the hands of some sort of lunatic who was conducting experiments on me for 3 years non-stop! – I waited for Ann to say something, but she didn't so I continued. – I would meet her every few years during my missions, but she never wanted to talk things out peacefully. Actually everything went on quite the opposite. I know her better than you do, trust me. I will never forgive her. Ever.
- You should at least talk to her, Minnie. – Ann said. She sighed when I didn't answer her. – I'm sure Ada is very sorry. She's your sister for God's sake.
- Ada Wong is not my sister! – I yelled out to her. – She never was and never will be! Remember this! – With that I left the house and slammed the door shut behind me.
Hi, everyone.
