Souls apart

Chapter Three: Mercy Finds her Family

MERCY POV

When school finally finished I was sick and tired of people calling me Sable. I was also pretty confused. Why on earth was there a girl that looked just like me? Were we twins of something? I laughed to myself. No... surely not. That's stupid right? I don't have some sort of long lost twin... but then again... she did look so much like me... I decided to confront my father on the matter, he would tell me what the hell was going on. What if he wasn't even my real father!? Oh my God. I needed answers, right now.

Just then, I saw the Ghost turn the corner.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked my so called 'father', staring into his eyes as he came to a stop beside me..

"What do you mean?" He asked.

I turned off the Justin Bieber song that he was singing as I entered the car.

"There is a girl who looks very similar to me and everyone thought I was her." He put the car into gear and drove out of the car park.

"Is she here?" He asked.

"Yeah what the fuck is going on here?"

"Watch your tongue Miss" he warned.

"Well tell me what's going on then!" I demanded.

"When was the last time you talked to your mother?"

"What?"

"Your Mother."

"Maybe 2 years ago, she never talks to me anymore."

"Great, cause you cannot tell her you're here, she must never know what we have done"

"Dad... What are you talking about? You're scaring me" I held back the tears

"That woman is not your mother, she is our kidnapper"

"What do you mean our Kidnapper... Who are you?" I asked him, everything is so confusing.

"I am your brother Jason, I was 12 when... well I was watching you in the nursery, then a lady came up to me, grabbed you and put a gun to your head. She threaten to kill you then and there if I didn't cooperate."

My eyes went wide. Surely he was lying right? What did he mean he was my brother? His gaze looked dead serious though and it caused me to break. I hopped out of the car and ran down the street not sure where I was going, just running away from this nightmare. Keep running Mercy keep running. The little voice inside me was yelling.

I ran all the way the the shopping centre and tried to ignore the dirty looks everyone was giving me as I walked around.

"Hey Sable" a Police officer waved at me. I waved back relentlessly. He started to walk my direction and I walked backwards until. BAM.

"Sable, Honey where did you come from? Aren't you meant to be at the Tyson's?" A woman around her 50's asked. She have a little 6 year old girl next to her.

"Mummy let's go" the little girl said.

"I'm not... I'm not Sable" I whispered. This Sable girl is popular around here.

"Oh my... Mercy? Adam get over here!" she yelled.

I looked up at her and then ran off in the other direction. Who was that? I ran into the girl's bathroom and slid down the door. My necklace hung around my neck and I held it as i cried. The past 16 years of my life had all been a lie. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and took it out, looking at it wondering whether I should pick it up or not. The picture of my best friend's goofy face flashed on the screen. I sniffed, wiping the tears from my face.
