We are The Highwomen
Singing stories still untold
We carry the sons you can only hold
We are the daughters of the silent generations
You sent our hearts to die alone in foreign nations
It may return to us as tiny drops of rain
But we will still remain
CHAPTER 7I turn the corner to see Vanya storming out of a building. I laugh out loud as I quickly drink the last of my coffee. I place the empty cup in the bin before running up to her.
"Well, that clearly went well." I hear 5 state, "You ready to go back?"
"I'm going back to the farm."
"Vanya!" I state happily running up to her.
"Hello?" She questions as I pull her into a hug.
"Vanya this is Kathryn, your sister." I feel Vanya pull away from me before giving me a confused look.
"Sister?"
"Um yeah?" I question looking towards 5.
"She lost her memory."
"Oh." I state with my eyebrows furrowed. Vanya smiles at me before walking over to her car which is parked across the road.
"Hey. Unacceptable, Vanya. Remember, we need to stick together." 5 follows her as I follow behind him confused with the conversation.
"Oh, why, so I don't end the world again?" My mouth opens in surprise as 5 scoffs.
"Stupid." He mutters up at the building behind us.
"Were you even gonna tell me?"
"You know what? In my defence, no. All right?" I breathe out a sigh as I walk around them and open the passenger's side door of Vanya's car. "And can you blame me? When you... you get angry, shit blows up."
"Great. Are there any other family secretes you failed to mention?" I get into the car and sit down as I listen to the conversation through Vanya's open door.
"A boatload, Vanya, which I don't have the luxury of sharing them with the-" Vanya shuts the door causing me to laugh. She jumps in response to my noise. I smile waving at her. 5 knocks on the window as I speak.
"You don't mind, do you? I have a lot of free time since Luther made me quit my job." She nods slowly in reply before opening the window to reply to 5.
"The clock is ticking on doomsday. Just tell me that when I need you, you'll be ready." I nod in 5's direction as I watch him physically sigh. I knew he knew what I meant. I would convince her.
"I can't help you, 5. I don't even know who I am."
"You're our sister." 5 hisses as Vanya starts the engine, "And a member of the Umbrella Academy. Like it or not, that's who you are."
