She waits a moment before trying to do anything. Cyril moves in front of me even though Jane is restrained to the bed. She literally can't do anything to me. Not unless she manages to get out of the restraints. If she hasn't gotten out of them so far, I don't think she will be getting out of them at all.

She starts yelling at me, "This is your fault! I-"

"I'm afraid not Jane... You had the choice to do what you did. I didn't force you to do it."

She keeps screaming and Cyril turns to look at me as I get up. We walk to the door and get out before I let him pick me up. Works for me because I am tired. As we make our way out of the infirmary I lay my head on Cyril's shoulder. I have a feeling the only time they will let me out of bed now is to go to the bathroom or shower. That is going to be a problem for me.

"If anyone asks, I fell asleep."

He chuckles, "Got it."

I close my eyes, "Good... It's strange."

"What's strange?"

"My parents staying in our area... Madison being alive... And us."

"I think we can talk about it when you are better."

"That works."

I take a deep breath and slowly fall asleep in his arms. I didn't know we got back until I woke up in my bed again. When I look at the time it is almost six in the morning. If the others are up then they are in the living room. Probably not expecting me to be awake. I really hope they aren't up yet.

I end up getting out of bed, cursing under my breath as pain shoots through my body, I should have just stayed in bed. I use the wall to walk to my door. Opening it quietly I go into the hallway. I stop just before I get to the living room as I look at the sound of laughter. I look at Madison and Cyril talking to someone else. She has short curly light blonde hair, her brown eyes look over to me.

"I knew you told me about your twin, I never expected it to be like looking at a clone."

Cyril and Madison both turn towards me, "Hayden."

I give them a small smile as I lean against the wall, "I could go for some coffee right about now. Anyone else?"

Madison smirks at me, "Are you always like this when you are badly injured?"

I smirk at her, "What can I say? I have to do something or else I will go insane." I nod to the blonde, "Find another?"

Madison smiles, "Hayden, Reyna. Reyna, Hayden. Now sit down before you fall over."

I make my way to the couches, using whatever is sturdy enough to help me, "How did you get mom and dad to leave?"

"I told them that Cyril and I would watch you." As we stare into each other's green eyes a small smile spreads on her face, "Cyril wasn't joking when he said you changed."

I glare at Cyril as he comes in with a mug of coffee, "You knew?"

He shook his head, "Not until we got back here and I saw her."

I take my mug, "How did you two meet?"

"Well, she was tracking me down and I guess you can say we hit off from there," Reyna says with a fond smile as she remembers it.

Cyril takes a seat next to me and we all sit there, talking about what we have missed out on in the four years that Madison has been gone. It doesn't take long before we talk about our childhood and all of the crazy things we would do. It was nice to be able to do this again. I never realized how much I was going to miss this until it was taken away from me.

I stand up and stretch as much as I can without it hurting, "Let's go get dinner... Who's up for pizza."

Cyril leans forward when I stop in front of him and I turn around to look at Madison. When Cyril wraps his arms around my waist he pulls me back so I am sitting on his lap. I struggle to get out of his grip but stop when I move my leg wrong. I frown and Madison and Reyna laugh for a few before they get up.

"Strange... But cute."

"Cyril, let me go."

He lets me go and I get up. I walk to the door and wait for the others to come, as Madison passes me she leans over, "Just don't tell mom I let you go out instead of resting like I told her... She might kill both of us if she finds out."

I smirk at her, "Can't be that bad. After all, I have learned to talk my way out of things with her and dad."

As we walk down the hallway to the dining area I let Cyril take my hand as we walk side by side. I wonder how we ended up in front of Madison and Reyna as we make our way into the dining area. Madison and I find a place to sit down while Reyna and Cyril get the food and drinks. I slide into a booth and watch Madison sit down in front of me.

She gives me a small smile, "Nice to see you two are together."

"What makes you think we are together?"

She leans back in her seat and smirks, "Just like Cyril, I know you better than you know yourself."

I smirk at her, "Two can play that game," I glance at the ring on her finger, "When do you plan on getting married?"

"May... Maybe June. I guess we will see how work goes."

"When did she ask?"

"The day you decided to go missing... It was a nice day until mom called me for help."

"Sorry... I didn't like the fact that they had information on me. After all, they wanted that information for something other than getting revenge."

"Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that."

"Think it can be related to your case you've been working for almost four years?"

"Looks like it. Haydie... Just be careful."

"I will, you know I will be joining you right?"

"Trust me, I expect you to. With the four of us working together it should be easy to get done quicker."

"I know that look. What are you two planning?" Cyril asks as they set the food and drinks down.

"Nothing," Madison and I say at the same time.

Cyril stares at us as he goes to sit down, he leans towards me as we start to eat, "I hope that plan involves me."

"What plan?"
