Today, I had a question... 

When Tal had a free moment from editing videos, I asked him, "Should I call you Tal or Dad??" I ask curiously. I wasn't quite sure. I've always called him Tal since he adopted me, but I wanted to be 100% sure. Knowing that he Tal (Dad??) was laid back, I didn't think he would care.

"Addi, just call me whatever's more comfortable for you. I don't really care, but it's up to you," he replied.

Guess I was right.

"Thanks, Tal!" I walked away and smiled. I think he knew that I would just call him Tal. I dunno. 

But since that was out of the way, I wondered what we were doing today. Oh, that's right! I have to FaceTime Miss Wilkins at 11:00 today... I dashed to the clock. 

11:03. 

Shoot!

I ran for my tablet, and hit FaceTime immediately. I ususally wasn't late to do things. It was only 3 minutes, though. I'm sure I'll be fine.

My tablet made little singing sounds as I waited for someone to answer. Finally, my call was excepted. There was a long lost face looking at the screen; Miss Wilkins! 

"Hi, stranger!" I joked as I saw her for the first in a long time. She smiled back at me and said hello. Her slight German accent filled the room. I chatted away with her about how good life was for me and how I enjoy my time with Tal. 

Finally, she let me talk to everyone for a bit. I missed them all, sure, but I noticed something. There was someone I didn't know that said hello to me.Her face had brutal scars across is, and she had a sling around her arm. Even though she looked damaged in all the wrong ways.... She still had an ear-to-ear smile on her face. Long, dark hair swept over her face and she smiled a sinister smile. She said devilishly, "Goodbye...." and hung up. She was the last person I talked to, but....


Who was she?
