The Long Forgotten Sibling

Chapter 2

 "Wait, Doc, is she like my aunt? You never told me you had a sister!" Henry protested in confusion.

"We need to get this situation sorted first. I'll answer any questions in the briefing," Helen said. "Will. Kate. Search the lab. See if there is anything remotely useful in here. Henry, help me bring Elizabeth out of stasis."

"Kate you take the left wing and I'll take the right wing," Will said as he began to search the place. Kate turned left and began her search.

Helen turned back to the stasis chamber. There was a panel at the side of the machine.

"Henry could you go back and tell me which life support machines have power?" Helen said while examining the panel.

"Right away Doc," Henry said as he grabbed his tablet and walked off in the direction Will went. Helen was left alone with her sister. The stasis machine was fairly basic but more complicated than others she had know about.

"Doc," Helen jumped as her radio crackled. She had been so engrossed that she had forgotten that she had sent Henry to check the life support. "The only one which has power is the one marked 16. I guess that's meant to mean what stasis chamber it's paired with," Henry reported.

"Magnus, there is nothing else in this lab apart from a satchel which, I assume, belongs to your sister. That and you have the stasis machines," Will said giving his report.

"OK Henry," Helen said, speaking into her radio. "I assume that the controls are on the computer so they can control more than one at one time. Can you slowly reduce the power while keep the stasis chamber stable. As well, try not to do anything else as this is an old machine. Kate can you go to the van. Will bring the satchel to me please."

Henry started to lower the power to the life support at the same time Helen was keeping the stasis chamber stable.

Shortly after Will arrived, holding the satchel, the glass barrier at the front of the stasis chamber swung outwards.

Elizabeth Magnus looked around in confusion. A minute ago, stood before her were her kidnapper. Now two people, in strange clothing, stood before her. She didn't know who they were or why they were standing there but she was taking no chances.

"Who are you? Where are we? I demand you tell me or take me back to London, or at least where you found me," Elizabeth demanded.

"Elizabeth please calm down-" Helen started before she was cut off.

"How do you know my name? What have you done to me?"

"Please calm down. We will take you back to London, it's not far. Then we will explain everything," Will pleaded.

Just at that moment Henry came back from de-activating the life support.

Elizabeth looked up in alarm. As she stepped further back into the stasis chamber she shouted, "What did you do? Why is he here? You will not do anything to me."

"We mean no harm Elizabeth. We will get you back to London, we're really close. We promise we will explain everything. He's the person that got you out of that containment chamber," Helen said in a soothing voice.

"You mean absolutely no harm?"

"Yes."

"And we'll go back to London?"

"Yes. We could go now if you want?"

Elizabeth nodded reluctantly. She had been terrified of what could happen to her. Will held out the satchel to her.

"I think this is yours," he said nervously trying not to provoke her.

"Yes. Thank you," Elizabeth replied, instantly realising that these people were definitely more polite than her attackers. She was bursting with questions but she didn't want to ask them as she didn't know if the people around her would gave her false information.

"Just one word of warning," Helen said while turning round to see Elizabeth. "The world has changed a lot since you last saw it. Things work a little differently to how they used to work."

----------

Elizabeth was desperately trying not to remember the last time she had walked down these prison like corridors. These people seamed much nicer to the ones who had firstly walked down these corridors.

Kate heard them coming and poked her head round the door of the van to be greeted with the others and the woman who was in stasis.

"Err... Hi I guess," Kate said as she waved towards Elizabeth.

Elizabeth looked around to see who she was waving to before she realised it was her. "Err... Hello?" She said.

"I guess I'd better get this thing started," Henry sighed and walked round the front of the van and climbed into the driver's seat.

"Well I guess I'm sitting in the back then," Kate said as she stood waiting to see what would happen.

Elizabeth bombarded them with questions. "What's this? Where is the carriage? Or are we just walking?"

"Come in and we'll attempt to show you what this is," Kate said gesturing to the interior of the van. When Elizabeth didn't move she added. "It's pretty safe... Most of the time."

Helen shot Kate and icy glared. "Sorry," Kate mumbled in apology.

Will and Helen watched Elizabeth, with the help of Kate, nervously attempt to climb into the van. The van dipped with her weight and eventually Elizabeth managed to stumble into the back of the van.

"Magnus, are you sure it's fine to bring her back to London. Hasn't it been 150 years since she last saw it? Don't you think it'll be a bit of a culture shock?" Will asked Helen keeping his voice low.

"Yes, I realise that but we have no choice. We either take her back to the UK Sanctuary or she'll think that we're the villains here. We don't want what happened with Henry Walter to happen again. We'll explain the situation to Declan and then decide what's going to happen," Helen explained and then climbed into the front of the van along with Henry.

"This is going to be interesting," Will muttered to himself as he climbed into the back of the van with Kate and Elizabeth.
