Apeldoorn
Location: The Netherlands

Mia was nervous. She didn't know if Nicole will listen to her or if the woman was at home at all. She was scared that her only relative would shut the door in her face and won't want to deal with the past.

Maria saw the frown on her fiancée's face and smiled softly. She was nervous for her. Maria, also, didn't know what they were expecting. Nicole van Dijk could turn them down. She could listen. But she could also not answer the door.

"Okay," Mia breathed, "let's do this." She pushed the button of the doorbell and waited.

"Are you ready?" Maria asked and noticed the nervous expression disappearing from Mia's face.

The red head her mind turned numb. She felt nothing anymore and stared at the closed door as if it was a target.

The door opened and a blonde woman stood before them. "Hallo, kan ik jullie helpen?" (Hello, can I help you?) She asked.

Mia her hand reached out and she turned the woman her hand around. The blonde screamed and Maria was in shock. Her first reaction was to get Mia to let go.

"Mia! Let go of her!" Maria gripped the red head's arm and turned it up her back.

Mia fell to the ground and struggled to get loose.

"What is going on?" Maria wanted to know.

Mia opened her mouth, but, rather than answering, she screamed. The ground started shaking and pots fell from windowsills. Car alarms went off and it didn't stop until the brunette knocked her fiancée out.

"I am so sorry." Maria told the blonde woman. "We were looking for Nicole van Dijk?"

"That's me." Nicole answered in English. "Why were you looking for me?"

Maria pointed at the passed out red head. "She's family."

The blonde didn't know what to think. She had family she never heard of?

"Come in." She opened the door more and helped to get Mia inside. "I'm sorry to ask, but... my English isn't that good."

"I can speak Dutch." Maria said. "Ik neem aan dat die taal wat makkelijker is voor je?" (I assume that this language is easier for you?)

Nicole nodded and placed a blanket over Mia's sleeping body. "Wat gebeurde er met haar?" (What happened with her?)

Maria sat down besides her fiancée and looked at the woman her face. "Ik heb geen idee." She said. "We stonden voor de deur en opeens veranderde iets." (I don't know. We were standing in front of the door and, suddenly, something changed)

"Je zei dat ze familie is." Nicole wondered. "Welke kant?" (You said she is family. Which side?)

Maria smiled, "Haar moeder's kant. Jouw vader's." (Her mother's side. Your father's)

Nicole looked at the sleeping woman on her couch. She didn't know much about her father's side of the family except that most died in the Second World War. Her father escaped, but was left alone.

"Wie is haar moeder?" (Who is her mother?) The blonde asked.

"Ana Jarvis." The brunette answered. "Alhoewel, ze heette eerst Ana Lakatos." (Although, she was named Ana Lakatos first)

"Lakatos..." Nicole repeated. She had the same name until she got married.

The door opened again and a man stepped inside. "Lieverd, ik ben thuis!" (Honey, I'm home!) The man yelled.
