The world above

The truth

Skylar quickly rushed over to the dock nearing a grand houseboat. When she got to the back entrance of the boat, she was greeted by one of the boats staff.

"Hello, how may I help you?" The staff member asked with a bit of confusion.

"Oh, I'm-" Skylar started then soon became interrupted.

"FRANCIS!" A woman roared whilst walking up to him. "This is Skylar, the girl I've been telling you about. She's been a friend for a long time and she's welcome anytime remember?" The woman said.

"Oh, right!" Francis said to the woman then quickly turned to Skylar to apologize. "I am so sorry Lady Skylar." The man said while bowing.

"Its perfectly fine, and please don't appoint me like that. Skylar is just fine." She said while placing her hand on his shoulder and bringing Francis up into a handshake. "Now, I really must be seeing what Dorothy brought me here for." Skylar said as she took Dorothy's hand and walked onto the boat.

Both of them soon walked into the living room of the boat which was amazingly furnished and could tell that the owner had a great taste in modern design. The two women sat down on one of the nearby couches, one was littered with papers and drawings of all types of fish and sharks and the other couch had space but also had print outs of conspiracy theories. Skylar tried to see what they were about, but Dorothy cleaned them up in one fell swoop then placed them upside down on the coffee table in between the couches.

"So, Skylar" Dorothy started. "Do you know why you are here?"

"Not at all, Dot." Skylar replied back.

"Really? Because I have a feeling you do." Dorothy said as she handed Skylar one of the print outs from the table.

The print out read:

                                          THREE GIRLS BURNED IN HOUSE FIRE

    "Nobody knows how this house fire started, it just, did." One of the nearby neighbors stated. "It was all just a blur. One second there was nothing, just me outside in my backyard tending to my garden and then BOOM! Fire erupted from nowhere and blasted what looked like a body into the yard next to mine." The police have confirmed that there was indeed a body in the backyard, they also found two other girls inside the house. They found no one else outside or around the house whilst they were looking through the flames. The girls have also been named. One was Addison Cooper, Blonde with green eyes about 5'7 and around the age of 16. Another was Olivia Barker, Brown hair with brown eyes about 5'4 and around the age of 15 and the last was Britney Charles, Blonde with blue eyes about 5'7 and around the age of 16, Britney's dad, Edward, also owns most of the city. Britney's dad is looking for the killer and if anyone saw someone come out of the blue house on Maple st. Number 3726 please contact the police immediately. If anyone has any information of the murder, please contact the police immediately.

Skylar stopped there. "What does this have to do with anything?" She said as she lifted her head up from the page to look at Dorothy in the eyes questionably.

"What do you think? Why would I give you this news story?" Dorothy told Skylar.

"The only thing I can think of is that you think I killed these girls. Which I didn't by the way. I would never hurt a soul unless they hurt me." Skylar snapped back.

"And that is EXACTLY my point!" Dorothy said whilst clapping her hands. "Good job figuring it out."

"I-I don't understand.....what?" Skylar said more confused then ever.

"You see my dear Skylar, I remember you telling me that you had no clue who your parents were, correct?" Dorothy asked Skylar bluntly.

"Yes....but again how-" Skylar started saying then became interrupted by Dorothy.

"All your answers will be found out if you just listen to me." Dorothy said with a bit of anger in her voice. Skylar then sat back, straightened out and crossed her arms. "Thank you, now, We've been friends for a while now and when you told me you didn't know your parents, I just had to find out. It had taken me a while through looking at birth certificates, questioning doctors and digging online that I found your parents. Now, I also found out that your mother, Meredith, is dead, and she has been for a while. At the time, your father was alive and well so, my instincts  kicked in and I sought him out. I told him about you and how you've grown up into such and amazing young woman and leader and he denied it all. He said he had no idea who you were, who your mom was or anything about you. I of course then decided to show him my evidence because I knew how much your father meant to you. I started showing him and he then tore up it all. Every last piece. Gone. He then slammed the door in my face but just before he did, he said one thing.

"She's not mine."
