Magic Unfold (A Selection Fanfiction)

Chapter 13- My Name

I just finished my rounds at the third floor when I wandered off to the women's room. I was allowed to go in even though I am a guard, but what I overheard stopped me from doing so.

"Carter told me yesterday that he recognizes that new guard. The girl." It sounded like Miss Marlee to me.

"Alyssa?" That sounded like Queen America.

"Yeah that one. I think she's my daughter." I heard several gasps, so there aren't only two people on there. "We actually had four children. Alyssa is supposedly has a twin. Her name is Sydney. We don't where they went, but this the first time in ten years since we found a clue. I'm just so worried. I don't know how to tell her this!"

"Why did they leave?" This voice sounded pretty foreign but I recognized it as Miss Lucy.

I suddenly backed away, thinking that this is way too much for me to handle. My parents were the Woodworks? Kile is my brother? What about the fourth child? Why don't I remember anything before I was eight? While I was still scrambling around to calm down, the door opened and Queen America came out.

"Oh Alyssa, I suppose you heard all that."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Come, I want to have a small talk with you."

-_-

I don't know what the Queen said to me, but after the "small talk" I felt much better and accepted the fact that Miss Marlee was my mother. I then decided to write to Sydney, but I was wondering how she was going to get the letter:

Dear Sydney,

I found out today that our parents were the woodworks. Can you believe it? Queen America said you could come to the palace if you wanted to. It's going to be great! We don't even need to worry about money!

Your twin,

Alyssa Woodwork

What the reply was, shocked me:

Alyssa,

I should have told you long ago. I've always known that our mother was Marlee Tames, and our father was Carter Woodwork. There was also a reason of why you lost part of your memory. Everything in your history was mapped out by me. And when you found the job for you to go to the palace, I knew you were going to find out they were our parents sooner or later.

I've ruined your life. I'm sorry for that. You might forgive me, but I will never forgive myself. It was a night when I convinced you to escape from the palace. There was a terrible fall after that. A fall that took your memory. And to make you strong, I filled your memory with lies. Our family never abandoned us. It was all my doing. I'm sorry.

Sydney

A few days after I read that letter, a bad news followed:

Sydney committed suicide.
