Cyrus sat on the wooden bench, that seemed to be far far away from the rest of the world, it was hidden behind a large amount of tall oak trees, it was very secretive, tranquil, like a hideout. Cyrus pulled out the box from his bag, & closely inspected it.
"Tracy Verity" was engraved onto the dark rusty wood. "Tracy Verity, that was my mums married name before she changed it" Cyrus silently said to himself. He opened the box once again
He took out the photo, & the letter he had already read.
Wait...there was more...another letter, what could that one say?
Cyrus,
Your life, has been one big lie, I'm sure you feel this way & must be somewhat angry, depressed & all you want to do is live like a normal human, I'm sorry. If you ever find this, I think you have the right to know the truth because I have lied to you all of my life. I lied to you saying that people eventually found out my story, but that was a lie. I lied to you, I said my parents where dead & I never had siblings. I have another sister, & both of your grandparents are still alive, I'm sorry I lied & convinced you your whole life that it was just us because it never has been. My mother was born with the DNA, she told my father & he was angry, frightened, but by this time he already had a family & basically got on with it. My mother passed the DNA down into me & my sister, than I passed it down into you, my sister also had a child the same time as me so she is also your age. My sister left to travel the world after your cousin was born & by this time I was giving birth do you in Scranton, your cousin is only 3 days older than you. But I think now we should move onto why I had to leave to go to Scranton. I killed that woman after she witnessed me burning down that tree, she was there with her husband & her 2 year old daughter, her husband caught me, her husband was my killer, Peter Longley. He witnessed me murder her & told the world, but nobody believed him, except his daughter as she grew up. I was scared so I ran away to Pennsylvania & changed my name to Hannah Goodman to try & make him never see me again, but I was wrong, he found me through contacts, online, he messaged me & said if I didn't go out to him myself, he would kill all of us, you, your grandparents, your aunt & your cousin, so I went & let myself die. Back to your other family, they live in Park City, if you ever want to meet them, they are the Mack family, so my name originally was Tracy Mack, my sister is called Rebecca or Bex, my mother is called Celia & my father is called Ham, I believe your cousin is called Andi. I love you Cyrus.-Mom XX
Cyrus shivered...Andi, Andi was his cousin? That means...Andi also has the DNA.
Also, Peter Longley, his daughter? Amber the waitress was scared of him when he walked in.
That means...Amber is Peters daughter, my mum did kill her mum.
Cyrus again was locked, confused, angry what was happening? He quickly ran back to Andi
--Back at school--
"ANDI!!! ANDI!!!" Cyrus shouted once he noticed her
"What?!!"
"You have it!"
"I have what?" Andi looked very confused"THE DNA!! WE HAVE IT!!" Cyrus's chocolate brown iris (the ring of color) started to turn white, he changed the weather from quite sunny to rainy. His Iris than turned to a light blue, he created a block of ice in his hand.
Than, Andi's Iris turned white, she made the weather go back sunny, her Iris than turned red, she created a ball of fire in her palm.
"Andi...I'm your cousin" Cyrus stated
Andi, stood still in a large state of shock over what she had heard. She was so so confused, suddenly Buffy & Jonah ran too the two talking family members.
"Did you guys see that? It rained for like a second than went sunny again!" Buffy shouted very shocked over what had just happened
Cyrus & Andi just glared at them both, the pair where still in so much shock
"What's going on with you two?" Jonah & Buffy asked in unison
"Oh, nothing we were both just really shocked by it too!" Cyrus replied laughing, trying to get rid of the tension
"Oh, I guess that makes sense!" Jonah laughed
Jonah's eyes darted onto Cyrus again, he felt so bad, he was with Andi but he knew that he loved Cyrus, he never even liked girls, from the age of 10 he knew he was gay but was scared to admit it, same as Cyrus was.
Cyrus also felt really bad, he stared closely at Jonah knowing that he wasn't just betraying a friend, he was betraying his only known cousin who he was growing closer & closer too, this was all just a mess.
~~time skip, end of the day~~
Cyrus plugged in his earphones & started listening to Motionless In White, his favourite band believe it or not from Scranton, which he was really happy about, the fact his favourite band are from his hometown. He headed to his dads car & got inside, he was still scared to talk to him & there was always this awkward silence around them both, Cyrus still just looked out of his window until they approached home. They both walked inside & Cyrus father started talking. "Cyrus, we need to properly talk if your supposed to live here for the rest of your life"
"Well then, what about?"
"Well, tell us some things about yourself?"
"Well I had a mom she died I now live with my dad who I've never met & my life is very very crazy, not a lot more too it"
"Fairly obvious, but I did try too find you, I never understood why she left, she did tell you about the crazy Peter Longley didn't she?"
"Yeah, yeah she did"
"I think that's why she left, but she never left a note for me, she never told me why"Cyrus felt sympathy for his father, he was just as clueless as he was himself.
"I am happy your here though, I hope your happy too" Cyrus's dad through a large smile at the boy
"Yeah, I'm happy here, I suppose I should say thankyou, you have been very great full & welcoming to me & we don't even properly know eachother, so thanks a lot, dad" Cyrus said, smiling widely.PLEASE READ THIS
