THE INHERITOR

Chapter 11: Martias

11. Martias

Dr. Tiffany Burgstone is so, so weird. I can’t believe of what’s going on in here.

“Heidi, Diana is too is wet. Give her something to wear.” Dr. Burgstone said.

“What? Why are you people calling me Diana?” I asked. Everything is getting so weird and weirder.

“Because your name is Diana.” Dr. Burgstone Replied. “We can talk later after you clean yourself. I’ll be right in my office.” She said and walked back inside the enormous door.

“Okay. Let’s all go inside my room.” Heidi said.

“Okay.” I replied.

We went upstairs. The whole place was modernized but also touched with classic interior design. We reached the second floor and I looked at Harper.

“Are you alright?” I asked Harper.

“What? Of course and I should be the one who’s asking that.” Harper replied.

“So, let’s go inside my room” Heidi interrupted.

We entered Heidi’s room. Her room is cute. I never knew Heidi was so kiddy. Her room is pink and her bedroom is like a little girl’s doll house. It also smelled like lavender.

“Aw… your room is so cute.” Harper said.

“Thanks.” Heidi said. She went to a closet and reached for a dress. “You can have this dress.” She brought out a beautiful velvet dress.

“I’m not gonna be attending a party or something. Can you just let me borrow a simple dress?” I asked.

“Oh, okay, how about this one?” She took a beige cotton dress.

“Oh, cool that’s gonna work.” I said.

She gave me the dress and went to her bathroom. My whole body is wet and my hair is getting dry. I put the dress on and put my wet clothes on a empty laundry basket.

I went out of the bathroom.

“You’re cute.” Heidi said.

“Thanks.” I replied.

“Harper slept.” Heidi said.

Harper’s on the bed sleeping. I see her so tired. She slumbered so peacefully .

“She must be so tired.” I said.

“You wanna see mom or what?” Heidi said.

“Do you know anything about what’s happening here?” I asked Heidi. She’s just sitting on the bed.

Heidi stood up. “Yes. We’re Sisters.” Heidi said.

What? We’re sisters but how? I’m speechless. I wanna cry. Is everything about me is a lie?

“You’re a Burgstone!” Heidi said. She’s getting closer to me. Her eyes they’re in fire I can’t stare away from her. I felt connection.

“No.” I said. I don’t wanna believe with what Heidi said. “We cannot be sisters.” I looked away and went for the door.

“Believe me. You don’t wanna learn more.” Heidi said.

I went out of the door. I walked down the stairs and continue my way to the enormous door where Dr. Burgstone went.

I knocked.

“Come in” I heard Dr. Burgstone inside.

I pushed the door. Inside was dark. A giant TV screen is on the wall. It must be ten feet high. The room was big and wonderful. There are rocks and stones inside a glass boxes and some experimental figures.
