Blood Lie

Part 1

The man stopped and tried to catch his breath. He looked behind him to see if he was still being followed and proceeded to walk cautiously through an alleyway. He started frantically looking around, as if he had lost something.

"Looking for something?" He jumped back and hit the dumpster behind him.

"Did I scare you?" The female voice continued.

"Please don't hurt me. I-I can't leave my-" He stopped himself.

"I won't hurt you if you tell me what you don't want to leave so badly." The woman said, finally coming from out of the dark.

"I don't know if I can trust you..." The man said, his back still against the dumpster.

"You can trust me... I promise I won't hurt you.." The man was hesitant, but gave in.

"I-It's my wife... she's pregnant but she's incredibly sick.. I-I've been trying to find a solution but nothing is working.. p-please tell me you can help."

"Your wife. Is she in labor?"

"I don't know. I left her at home."

"What's her name?" She asked, a serious look on her face.

"Diana."

"Park?" She asked curiously.

"Y-Yes... how did you-"

"I know what to do. Take me to her." The man hesitated but was desperate to help his wife. He nodded and told the woman to follow him.

When they got to the man's home, they heard her screaming. They both ran up the stairs to see what happened and they walked into her bedroom to see that she was indeed, in labor.

"Oh my god Diana!" The man ran to her side and held her hand. She was sweating and her face was pale.

"Hun, if I don't make it then-"

"No! Don't talk like that! You're going to get through this. I know it!" The man squeezed her hand tightly as he looked up at the woman he had brought.

"She can help." The woman nodded and walked to her side.

"Sir I'm afraid I need you to leave the room." She said looking at him.

"I can't possibly do that! She's my wife! She's giving birth! I-"

"Look. Do you want me to help her or not?" The man looked down at his wife and then back up at the woman. When he looked at his wife, she was pale, coughing, and she overall just looked really weak. He sighed before giving his wife a kiss on her forehead.

"Just tell me when I can come back in. I don't wanna miss my son." The woman nodded. As soon as he left, the strange woman went to Diana's side and held her wrist out for her.

"I know it's not much but I know what's happening."

"I don't need it." Diana said as she slightly glared at the woman.

"Your sister is screaming at the top of her lungs, did you think that I wouldn't find out Diana?"

"My sister?" She looked at the woman confused.

"Diana. You're twins. She feels your pain but she also felt your weakness. That's exactly how I knew you weren't doing what you were supposed to. You need to survive." Diana rolled her eyes.
