TWENTY-SIX

outside hollyoaks, england

Lena had sat in that chair for what felt like hours, waiting and waiting. But she was sick of waiting. So, she screamed. Loudly. In the next room over, Warren wished his hands weren't tied. "That girl really does have a scream on her." Warren muttered to himself, wishing his hearing wasn't supernatural.

After about five minutes straight of screaming, Lena's throat was that sore no noise was coming out. So she struggled against the restraints, hoping to undo them slightly.

"Well, you really gave up that easily?" A voice mocked, a woman in around her sixties came into the room. "My daughter would never give up that easily. Unless, of course, I got the wrong twin?" Norma chatted to herself, Lena breathed heavily as she still struggled against the restraints. Slowly realising defeat, she gave up completely.

"You must be Norma, then." Lena theorised in a whisper, swallowing after due to get throat being sore. Norma watched her intently, the girl was her daughter. This girl was her daughter. The cold-hearted woman finally felt something for the first time in a long time, she felt sorry for Lena. The fact Lena had to grow up believing her grand-parents were her parents, then believing that who she called her mother was her mother and now finally knowing the full truth.

Lena sat confused, she had hoped this kidnapping would be to do with Lizzie and her hot heretic girlfriend would come and save her. But that was an ideal world - sort of. Sadly, in the real world she stared at her mother, taking in every part of her mother. For her age, she seemed to be in very good health, only small wrinkles appearing, her silvery-blue eyes directly onto Lena's that looked the exact same, her blonde hair wasn't exactly white or gold: it was an I between shade which suited the woman.

"Why?" Lena croaked out, her voice still failing her. Norma waited for her to finish, with a condescending look. "Why would u lead me to b-believe a lie." Lena managed to spit out, her voice breaking as she let out the sentence.

"It was quite simple, actually." Norma stated, quite calmly. "I gave birth to you, your grand-parents adopted you and lead you on with the lie that you were their daughters child. You got lucky in the sense that you and your supposed twin sister looked very similar." Norma looked into the eyes of Lena.

Lena cleared her throat, "How can you just be so calm about this? You gave up your child."

"No, I gave up my three children, actually." Norma said, Lena's eyes widened like saucers.

"E-Excuse me? I have siblings?"

"Half siblings, yes." Norma corrected, "Well sibling, I suppose since Katie died before I got to meet her."

"Katie? That makes my half-brother." Lena stated, not being able to finish the sentence, her eyes were cast down on the floor, "Warren." Lena whispered, finally taking in the information.

Josette Saltzman turned out to be the best person to gather information. Lizzie and Hope had tried the violent compulsion version, no one gave them information. This village appeared normal, but maybe, just maybe, there was supernatural here? Mystic Falls was once deemed a safe place, so why shouldn't Hollyoaks not have witches and vampires running around?

Josie had found out little to none information, all the trio had was an address where Lena lived. But, no one was home so it turned out to be a stale lead. The three girls now sat in the park, Hope had a coffee which she was sharing with her girlfriend as Lizzie just sat there, a look of sadness etched onto her face.

"We aren't getting her back? Are we?" Lizzie asked no one in particular, the two girls turned to face her.

"We defeated malivore and the gods, I think getting the girl is do-able." Hope reminded, to which Lizzie rolled her blue eyes.

"You defeated malivore, Hope. And you defeated the gods, Hope. There's nothing you can't do, is there?" Lizzie snapped back, Hope blinked a few times, taken aback.

"I'm sorry, Lizzie, that I'm some miracle child. Literally. I kind of can't help it."

"Guys, let's just focus on finding Lena." Josie stated, reminding the heretic and tribrid of their main goal. At the mention of Lena's name, a blonde man approached them.

"Lena Lomax? Is that who you are trying yo find?" The man asked, his blue eyes seeming to light up.

"Yeah, why?" Lizzie asked, giving him her best bitch stare.

"I think I know where she is." The man announced, "I'm Ethan, a friend of hers, sort of."

"Oh, your the guy who likes that Sienna woman." Lizzie stated, hope and josie just looked at each other sharing looks of confusion. "Well, Hope, Jo. You two coming to get the girl?"
