**Luca's Pov.**

"Try to have a good day at school today, Luca." Chrys told me dropping me off at the schools gates as I managed a soft nod.
"I'll try my best, thanks." I said leaving the side of her car.
I was anxious about returning back to school, I've been gone for a while and suddenly reappearing.. The guys were really going to give me hell.

I walked into the building to only stand there a little confused.
I spotted Brodie and his friends at their lockers all laughing at something, Henri noticed me but continued to listen in on whatever the other was saying.
Well that's a relief..

I walked over to my locker grabbing my things before stuffing them into my bag to bring into homeroom.
I tensed seeing Carter heading my way.
Oh no.
Here it comes.
I waited for the worse to come.
But it never did.

Carter kept on walking with Jasper at his side.
They had completely ignored my existence.
What was going on?
Was it because of Sly?
No.. I told him to leave things alone.
So why..
Why was everyone leaving me alone for once?

I walked into homeroom already feeling exhausted by the confusion I was feeling.
Brodie and Carter always tried giving me hell first thing in the morning.
Why was today any different?
Was it a 'no bullying the weak' Wednesday?
I was so confused.

"Hey Luca.." I turned to Luna who stood there with an unsure expression.
Was she just as confused about this as I was?
Maybe she was here to clear things up for me.
That would be great.

"I need to talk to you.. in private.." Her eyes on the homeroom teacher who paid us no mind.
I frowned at her but nodded adjusting my bag then followed her out of homeroom.
She brought me outside to the trees where the kids usually sat to study or to have lunch.

She leaned against one with her arms crossed.
"Listen, I've been giving it some thought an-"
"Do you know why everyone is avoiding me?" I cut her off with knitted brows.
Luna made a face at me.
"No? But seriously Luca, this is importa-"
"I've been trying to figure it out, Carter usually hits me fir-"
"Luca! Listen to me please!" Luna cried out with slight anger in her eyes.

I looked at her a little shocked.
That was pretty out of character for her.
I guess this was serious.
I crossed my arms looking at her.
"What is it, Luna?" I questioned.
Luna frowned biting her bottom lip.
She turned to me as these small tears appeared in her eyes.

"This may seem like a joke to you, but I am your twin sister." She confessed.
My blood ran cold as I stared at her.
The wind blew roughly as we both stood there.
Tears in her eyes as I stood there shocked.
"You're lying." I accused.
Her eyes filled with actual tears now.
"No I'm not Luca! You have to believe me! We were siblings, we had parents but our mom-"
"No!" I hissed as tears burned my own eyes.
"I never had a family, I would of remembered you being my sister if this were true! You are lying to me, I thought you were my friend Luna!" I hissed with a glare now.

A bell rang as students walked out for study break.
My attention fell on Carter and Brodie who walked over to a tree close to ours before sitting down and cracking open a book.
They never study.
What is going on here?!

"Luca, please just let me explain." Luna pushed as her eyes held so much pain.
I stood  in front of her with furrowed brows.
Luna took my silence as a continue point as she sighed.
"Our mom was the reason you were taken from me and dad.. they fought a lot and she used witches brew to erase our memories of the fight, she got careless and hurt you in the progress. Dad got angry at her and they ended up in a bigger fight that lead to her taking you away from us.. mom was cruel and heartless, she treated us like slaves while dad cherished our very beings. He loved you." She cried as tears slipped.

I frowned deeply at her.
"Why don't I remember us being a family?" I asked.
Luna frowned at me.
"She wiped your memories to the point you didn't remember anything, not even your own name.. you were just some doll who she got sick of and abandoned in the streets, she was found dead in an alley way two years after you both disappeared..." She told me.

My chest tightened remembering a woman dead in an alley way before Melea found me.
I began to breathe heavier backing away from the other as Luna caught my hand.
Her brows knitted painfully.
"Everything I'm telling you is true, Luca you have to believe me." She said squeezing my hand.
I was beginning to notice the resemblance we both shared.
The size of our noses, the way her eyes formed the tears.. and her eyebrows, they knitted exactly how mine did.
I stood there as the tears began to build up in my own eyes.

Luna wiped her own tears away as she looked at me.
"I've been living with dad this whole time and he doesn't have the slightest clue you're even alive right now... you need to come home with me and meet him!" She said now.
I stood there slightly shocked.
Meet my dad?
The person I didn't think existed or even wanted me?
But this whole time..
It was our mom who was the enemy, the reason why I don't remember anything..
It made sense.

"I have to call Chrys.. she needs to know I'll be home later." I told the other.
Luna nodded looking anxious that I'm actually going to go with her.

During last period I went to the office to call Chrys.

{"Angel residence."} Chrys came on the other end.
"Hey Chrys, its me." I told her with a frown.
{"Luca?? Is everything okay? I need to come up there and kick ass?"} She asked.
I made a face.
"Um no.. I'm going home with a friend after school, I'll explain everything later okay?" I told her.
{".."}
"Chrys?" I questioned.
{"Yeah.. that's fine Luca, just be careful. I want to meet this friend, okay?"} She said.
I nodded into the phone.
"That's fair, see you tonight." I said before hanging up.
