That's Not Who I am

chapter thirty one

I walk Eli to the train station. Everywhere we go we always get looked at. Me, the red headed guy, Elijah, the bright blonde haired boy. I owe a lot to Elijah, whether he realizes it or not. All the years I had to hold myself together for him, for her. "Eli!" Teddy calls. They both run to each other and start talking. I smile at the scene, "Be good, Eli." I call. He turns and waves, "Bye, Dad." I watch him leave on the train and when it's gone I stay standing there. "You raised him well, Fred." I turn, trying to figure out who was under the cloak. "Who are you?" I ask. "You don't remember me?" She asks. The voice hit the past that I had buried away for so long. I stayed quiet, more confused than anything.
It's not her, is it? She pulls the cloak away from her head.
Standing in front of me is Evangeline.
"Evangeline?" My voice was cold, questioning. "That's not who I am, anymore." Her voice was soft and it aggrevated me.
