Chapter 6: Revealed
Lili's POV:
"Where am I?" I thought to myself. Then all the memories came crashing down on me. Following that guy to the mall, mom dying, Aunt Abby showing up.. Then being kidnapped. I franticly looked around, searching for Mia. She was asleep on the floor of the room we're in. I ran over to her.
"Mia!" I all but scream at her sleeping figure, "Mia wake up!" She flinched, but slowly opened her eyes.
"Lili? Where are we? I want mommy!" she explained, her lower lip wobbling. I sighed, happy that she was fine, but not sure how to make her feel better, and hugged her tightly.
"Mia, listen, I don't know where we are, but I do know that we will be fine." I tried to comfort her like mom used to do. "I want my mommy." She whispered, tears rolling down her face.
"I know Mia, I know. But she won't be gone forever, we'll see her in Heaven, and she'll be very, very happy to see us, hun."
"I want her now, though! I don't want to wait!" She screamed at me. I just hugged her closer and let her cry.
"How are we going to get out of here, Lili?" She asks me 15 minutes later when she was done crying.
"I don't know. I'll figure something out, don't worry." She just nods.
"I love you Lili." She says, looking up at me. I was about to respond, but two people walked into our room.
"Hello, Lilianna Shay, Mia Renee." The redhead from the mall said, with a small smirk playing in her face.
"Y-y-you!" She looked at me, and then looked back at "Bob". He nodded at her, and then left the room.
"Yes, it's me. But I do prefer that you call me Cassandra Goode, Cass for short if you want. Or maybe even mom." I gaped at her, my eyes wide.
"Now why the hell would I ever call you mom, Cassandra?" I growled at her, confused and seriously pissed off.
"Now sweetie, I think you are smart enough to figure that out," I glanced down to see Mia looking at me confused and went right back to glaring at Cassandra again," but I'll help you out a bit. You see, before I got your mother," she said, adding quotations when she said mother," sick, she wasn't really a doctor. She was a spy for the C.I.A. She's been undercover since before you were born, trying to protect you, and eventually Mia here." She stopped and looked at us. "I'll let you in on a little secret. Emma wasn't either of your mothers. I am your mother Lili, and Mia, well Mia, well you're a Morgan." She paused to take in our reactions.
"You're a liar." I whispered, my voice laced with hatred. "You're a liar!" I repeated, screaming at her.
"Do you really believe that Lili?" She smirked. That damn smirk.
"Yeah, I really do, Cassandra." I stated, but somehow, I knew she was telling the truth. "Mia is my sister. And you will NEVER be my mother." My voice was rising again. "You can say whatever you would like Lili, but you and I both know that it's true." She stated simply, walking over to the door. I looked down at Mia; she looked confused, but most angry. "Shit. This isn't good."
"Listen lady I don't know who you think you are, but, you aren't Lili's mommy. If you are, then you would have had proof." Mia screamed, freezing Cassandra to her spot by the door. Now Cassandra looked angry.
"You want proof? Fine. I'll give you it." She spun on her feet and left the room, leaving us to our thoughts.
Mia glared at the door, and then stuck her tongue out at the empty doorway, making me laugh.
She turned to me and I stopped laughing. My heart skipped a beat. Mia was pale, really pale. "Her medicine!"
"Mia Renee, do you feel okay?" She nodded, but I can tell that she's lying. "Don't lie to me Renee." She glared at me, knowing that she was caught.
"Fine, I don't feel good. Okay?"
"We really need to get out of here! You need your medicine!" She just nodded. She looked about ready to pass out. "Come here Mia." She ran over to me and laid her laid in my lap, falling asleep. I looked around the room, trying to memorize my surroundings. But my eyes stop on a blinking camera. "How had I not noticed that sooner?"
"We'll get out of here, don't worry." But I'm not sure if I'm was trying to make myself believe my own words, or just trying to comfort Mia. Because I know that that woman is my mother, no matter how much I want it all to be a lie.
3rd POV:
In Roseville, Virginia, behind tall gates and perfectly trimmed hedges stood Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies. The school was silent at midnight, because everyone was asleep. Everyone that is, except two teachers. Headmistress Morgan was in her office completing paper work when Joseph Solomon ran into her room. He uttered the words "She has them" making the Headmistress faint, and leaving Mr. Solomon a very worried man.
