36 Fact Or Fiction?? (2/2)
”It's true. I tried to find the woman weeks later but her home was empty. I checked missing persons for weeks and no one reported a baby missing” my mother explained reaching for my hands. I jerked back ignoring her tearful gaze
”How did you pass me off as yours? You went to work pregnant and came home with a baby?” I asked finding holes in her story
”Your father was out on business for the week and Kim was with my mother. I left town after I took you to figure out a plan. When I came home people assumed I had complications and didn't want anyone with me during the birth” Lucy said watching me closely.
This is so unbelievable!!! My whole life was a lie. Not that I'm buying her story but I do believe one part. She stole me.
”You selfish woman!” I yelled ”You kidnapped me to cover up your own lies! You continued to lie to everyone! You claim to love me but for years you did nothing but stand by while your cheating husband neglected me and your bitch daughter abused me!” My voice was beyond uncontrollable
The windows in the room began to shake. I knew the storm wasn't causing it. I could feel the power coursing through my body. I fought hard to contain it but my heightened emotional state was making it difficult.
”I'm sorry honey. I wanted to defend you but I just didn't have the courage” she said wiping her tears. I closed my eyes tightly. I was certain they were glowing.
”Tell me the truth. Where did you really take me from? Was it a hospital or orphanage?” I questioned barely keeping the disgust out of my voice
”I promise I told you the truth-”
”Don't. Just get out” I said cutting her off. I just couldn't look at her for another minute.
”I can't change the past but even if I could I wouldn't. You were and will always be the light of my life. I love you Ana honey” she stood and moved slowly towards the door. I wanted to shout I still loved her too but the funny thing about anger is it doesn't allow you to see reason
”Wait” I said as she touched the door handle ”You never said how you knew I was here and recognized me?” That was the first thing I wanted answered until I became distracted by her announcement of me not being her child. The woman I called mother turned to face me looking utterly sad. She reached into her purse pulling out a scrap of folded paper handing it to me.
”The old woman that I hadn't seen since the day I found you showed up three days ago and told me I would find you here. In this room. When you walked in I was stunned by your beauty but when I saw those blue eyes I knew without a doubt it was you.” Lucy replied with a small smile.
I opened the paper and read the name and address. Ms. Helia was all it said with no surname. I gazed back at my mother confused.
”Helia said when you were ready to know more to come find her” she added to clear my puzzled mind. ”I don't know what you've been through the last two years but you're always welcome to come home Ana.” She ended. Her words brought back my anger
”Your right. You don't know what I've been through.” I snapped. Her eyes widened by my harsh tone. Other than that she didn't comment just shook her head and left the room quietly.
The door closing broke my resolve. I lost the control I had been fighting overtime to contain. I screamed. I could feel the burn in my throat from the force of it.
Blue Sparks ignited on my skin. I loved the feel of it.
My anger was consuming me.
How could she do that to me? That crazy woman kidnapped me! Not to mention her story was just preposterous.
A flash back of my life, my pain, my struggles zipped through my mind. Everything I'd been through she'd seen and never helped. If she loved me so much how could she not care?!
A surge of energy shot from my core and expanded like large rings. The power I'd accidentally tapped into had my head spinning. The last thing I heard was the shattering of glass.
Then everything went black…
