It's January 20th, my little sister turns 18 today...so proud of her😁😁...now on to chapter 13
After working on that body I had come to the conclusion that all these Ember victims, the reason the police have no leads, the reason the trail goes cold…is because they simply get rid of the evidence. All our work to open the body, to examine and research it has destroyed any chance of tracking Ember down.
Making my way out after the examination I knew I was most likely trapped here now, if I tried to run I would end up on that table.
“Good work Racheal” came the cold voice of the blonde bitch now.
“Thank you Miss Valarie, though I got to say…” Only live once… “The condition of the body was as if it was rolled in the dirt before it was brought to us”
“Yes well sometimes with contracts with the authorities bodies that have no point in being identified will be sent to us”
“Your my Uncle?” I could not believe Headmaster Vaughn was here right now, Dad has got to be pulling another joke on me to lighten the mood.
“Yes I am John” pulling something out of his pocket I could see him going through his wallet pulling out the same photo Dad had given me.
It was my mother holding me after I had been born. It had to be true dad would not copy a photo of mom for a joke.
“Why was I not told about this?!” I was angry and sad.
“To be honest John I was not a fan of your mother’s choices in life” Headmaster Vaughn moved to the couch and sat beside William, “In fact I was one of the people who picked on William constantly through highschool”
“True Charles but you changed a lot in the last eighteen years”
“True but I wish I had come around sooner…you see John, when your mother and Father married I cut all ties with her like Mother and Father did” Headmaster Vaughn took a deep breath, “Even after you were born I never reached out but I was watching, I even sent cards for your birthday but after your mother disappeared I knew I had made a mistake”
“Charles helped me get by until I was able to support us both, feeling like he didn’t deserve to meet his nephew in person” Dad added as Headmaster Vaughn collected his thoughts.
“I don’t expect to be called Uncle anytime soon, I would understand if you were angry with me. But I owed it to Jane to try and make up for lost time, when I saw your application to Wellston I admitted you simply because I wanted to get to know you myself.” Headmaster Vaughn looked down at his own picture, “I missed so much I didn’t want to miss anymore”
“Headmaster if I may…is this why you gave John more freedom around the school?” Sera asked.
“I promised Jane I would make up for lost time, I wanted nothing more than to help John recover from his troubled past.”
“Over the years I often confided in Charles on family issues, I confided in him on many things including your ability and sadly your downhill spirill” Dad added to the conversation.
Standing up from where I was sitting I walked over to the kitchen to get myself a drink of water turning around, “So headmaster Vaughn is my Uncle, you knew about me my whole life, helped us when we were in need…” I couldn’t find the right words to voice my feelings.
“I think I may have overstepped my welcome…I won’t intrude any further” The headmaster went to get up leaving the room but I found my words as he reached to open the door.
“I often cooked with mom as a little kid” Vaughn stopped in his tracks, not looking at me, “Maybe…would you like to stay for supper Uncle Vaughn?”
