I can love you MORE THAN THIS

Chapter 19

Before any other words came out, he rushed over to me and gave me a hug. I shoved him away, scared he would hurt me.

"Sweetheart, what's the matter?"

My eyes buldged out of their sockets. Whats the matter? Um, i dont know you killed my sister and tried to kill me thats all.

"How dare you," i said, tears threatening to spring from my eyes.

"Sweetie, I know i left for a few years but i'm back now," he said.

My head snapped to him.

"WHAT?!"

Now it was his turn to act confused. 

"I left for a couple years. I was on a trip to Africa, sweetie dont act dumb."

The wind started picking up around us, and he gave me a smile.

"I see you got your...you know," he said, referrring to my powers.

I was so confused, my head was swirly around me. I felt Louis' presense behind me, and i gave him a look. He returned the same confused look.

"So, you're trying to tell me you left for a few years to africa?" i asked, raising an eyebrow. 

"Yes, your mother didnt tell you?"

"If you were gone then how were you still here," i said, crossing my arms and ignoring the fact that what I just said made no sense at all.

"What-Oh no...no no no no no no," he said, "This is bad, very bad."

"What?" I said, stepping forward and then stepping back when I remembered he tried to kill me.

"You said i never left?" he asked, probably making sure he heard correctly.

"Ya...."

"Well, I did leave. But someone took my place. And I know exactly who."

I was so confused. was he really trying to tell me that some evil look a like took his place when he left for africa? did he really think I was going to believe him? 

"You are such a liar!"

The wind picked up even more and it started to rain outside. Louis looked a little scared, but my 'dad' didnt look the slightest bit nervous.

"I'm telling the truth. You need to believe me its the only way to catch him," said my dad.

"Catch who?"

"My twin brother. Hes the one who took my place. Hes a sociopath and hes evil. Hes been trying to kill our family because he doesnt have one and hes upset with his own life."

I scoffed.

"Well 'he' did a good job."

"What do you mean?"

"'He' killed Megan," I said, and tears threatened to spring from my eyes as i remembered her.

Suddenly he did something so unexpected i jumped back in surprise. He started crying. Not just manly crying but full out sobbing his eyes out. Someone got him a tissue and he blew his nose. He continued to cry for about ten minutes until he composed himself enough to look at me with his red, puffy eyes.

"He killed her?" he said, and he had a look in his eyes.

Truth. all at once i knew that he was my father and he was telling the truth about everything. 

It scared me to think that someone was trying to kill our family, but i was reassured with the knowledge that I had a real dad that cared about me and my sisters enough to start sobbing when he knew one had been killed. and i could tell he wasnt acting either. people are good actors, but noone can portray that much hurt, anger and sadness unless they actually felt that way.

"Yes."

"Then we are going to get revenge," he said, his expresson suddenly becoming stoic.

 "How?" I asked, taking a step forward. 

Any chance I get to have revenge on that man for what he did, I was going to take. He didnt have the right to ruin an entire family just because he doesnt have one. 

"We need to beat him at his own game," he replied, a grin appearing on his face.
