Battling Demons: My Undying Love

The Demon Within

Soon, the three were seated in the living room with cups of tea being served to them.

Then suddenly Damon asked "Who killed my Dad?"

"So you finally remembered." Lily said provokingly.

"You two should stay quiet!" Charles said exasperatedly. "Damon, I wanted to tell you about a matter concerning your father, but from the way you look, I still think you need a doctor before anything else.

"But since things have already gotten to this, I guess I have no choice now."

Damon looked confused now, "What is the matter Charles."

Charles sighed before saying, "Two days ago, our Intel brought it to my notice that your father's death was no accident.

"The cars your father's security occupied, had tiny devices in them. Before the investigations were over, traces of radioactive chemicals were found in those devices. Your father's research facility says its most likely a new tech, since they weren't familiar with such technology.

"They later assumed that the device had contained over six- hundred-and -fifty rad of  radioactive chemicals due to the damage it inflicted.

"Your father, Damian on the other hand, was the target. We checked the surveillance cameras closest to the incident and found out he was being chased by bikers with guns.

"But that was just a trick to lure him. When they got him where they wanted him, the tech containing the radioactive chemicals, dispersed in the vehicles like a time bomb. The cars crashed at various junctures, completely trapping your Dad in between.

"That was when your father met the sad incident of being hit by the huge truck."

All through Charles' explanation, Damon couldn't help recollecting the scenes from that night. Now he even felt more aggrieved to find out his father was killed in such a miserable manner. Tears rolled down Damon's face uncontrollably but he didn't make a single sound. He could only grit his teeth tightly as anger and sorrow surged in his heart.

"Damon!" Lily called out, "Mom has already received news about Dad's death. But she seems to really care less about the situation. I on the other hand, couldn't take it anymore, and decided to come see you."

Damon finally pulled himself together and said firmly, "You still didn't tell me how you and I are related. I noticed how you refered to my  father as "Dad" when you just spoke. So speak up."

Lily looked at her brother heartily, "Damon, I'm your twin sister."

"Don't tell me that crap! How can you be my twin sister when I've never seen you before. Dad has never mentioned anything about having a twin sister. What makes you think I'd believe you just because you said so?" Although Damon shouted, he was not in control of himself at this point. First his father's death was a homicide, and second, his mom didn't give a rat's a** about what happened. Dad really loved mom even though they weren't together. And what did he get in return? Nothing! Nothing but neglect.

Lily replied calmly, "Damon, hear me out first.

"When mom found out she was pregnant, the doctor told mom and dad it was going to be a boy, after viewing the reports.

"Mom and Dad were really happy to know they were going to have a boy.

"However, nine months passed, and things turned out differently. I did my own investigations and found out that when you were safely delivered at the time, there was still another child. Even the doctors present couldn't believe it. It was the most peculiar case they ever witnessed.

"Mom was naturally informed immediately about this. Mom was also shocked to be having two babies instead of one.

"But for some reasons, she kept it a secret from Dad, who had been standing outside anxiously for news about the delivery.
