The Legend of Cheryl Morgenstern

The First Glimpse Of The Truth

That was the moment I first ever heard my real brother introducing himself to me...

- I'm Jonathan...

- You too??

- What do you mean??

- Oh sorry... My twin brother is also called Jonathan... We call him Jace but his full name is Jonathan Christopher.

- His name is what??

- Jonathan Christopher, why?

That was when Jonathan realized what his father had done. That was why he wasn't always with him and he kept him in the basement. He was raising another son to take his place. He used another name to keep himself safe. He understood he actually didn't care about him...

- Hey are you listening to me??

- Y-Yeah...

He was about to break down when he had a flashback of his little sister he thought he lost in the fire...

- Cheryl, I have to tell you something... Many things to be exact...

- Okay...

- I think you are my sister...

- What??????

- When is your birthday??

- The Eighteenth of August...

- How old are you??

- Ten years old...

- You are my little sister...

- No, I'm not... If I was I would know...

- I need to tell you many things about yourself and quickly... Dad is going to come for me in a while...

- I don't know what you are talking about but this is crazy...

- I'm Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern and you are my little sister, Cheryl Morgenstern...

- YOU ARE A MORGENSTERN????

- So are you...

- I'M A WAYLAND. CHERYL WAYLAND TO BE EXACT. AND I WANT TO KNOW RIGHT NOW HOW THE HELL ARE YOU ALIVE! THE LAST MORGENSTERNS WERE YOU AND VALENTINE MORGENSTERN AND YOU WERE BURNT IN THE FIRE ON THE FAIRCHILD MANTION!

- That's what he wanted everyone to believe... And he actually did as I see...

- I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM STILL TALKING TO YOU! I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN MY SWORD BY NOW AND KILLED YOU!! YOUR FAMILY DESTROYED ALL THOSE SHADOWHUNTERS YEARS AGO! YOU ARE TO BLAME FOR MY MOTHER'S DEATH!

- I am as victim as you... Dad put demon blood in me before I was even born... All these time, he made everyone believe that he and I is dead... He changed his identity and uses the name Wayland just to keep himself safe, but you are not...

- Please stop! I can't hear it! I need to pull myself together!

- He's been raising me all this time in the basement and you and this Jace in the house because he wants you for protection... He is lying to you... He betrayed all of our family... Sister, please help me...

- I am not your sister! You have no idea what you are talking about! I am not a Morgenstern!

- You are and you're gonna face it! Please help me, Cheryl!

By that time, I was so shocked I left all in hurry and returned back to my room. Jace was already waiting for me awake. He was worried about me. I was out of the room for too long and he probably woke up and didn't see me.

- Cheryl, where have you-

He saw me in shock, ready to fall down and then hugged me.

- What's wrong?? What happened?? Why are you so shocked??

- N-Nothing...

- Cher, you know you can tell me everything...

- I-It's really nothing... I just had a nightmare and went to take some air... It didn't help much...

- It's okay... Come on let's go to sleep...
