"Hey, Apollo can we talk," Peter says over the phone in a hushed voice.

"Yeah, sure, is everything alright," I ask, a bit concerned

"Sort of, well I'm not too sure, maybe" he replies back sounding unsure.

"I know everything, I'm like you guys" he exclaims

"Ah um you've got to elaborate there Peter" I reply not too sure if it's a prank or something much worse and I'm definitely not gonna give my family secrets away that easily.

"I know you're a dreamer Apollo, and you don't have to be worried or concerned about me, I'm not a threat to your family" he states

"Okay well since you know, how did you find out and why did you call" I question

"I know what I'm about to say might make you feel less likely to trust me" he pauses, "but I work for the boss" he exclaims

"You what! I know you know what we are because you're one of us but if you're calling to tell me that it must be really important since you clearly know my family situation" my voice sounding shocked.

"Yes, and that's why I called, I was sent to spy on you, to see if you had another child aged 18 and I was told to track you guys if you did" he states

"So why tell me," I ask

"Because you guys are good people, I thought you guys were bad, I was just following orders but everything is just so corrupt and I really truly created bonds with you guys and I didn't want it to be based on a lie," he says.

"That's understandable, but what are you gonna do now if the boss finds out"

"I'll just continue acting as if I'm spying on you guys and try to leave a dead trail as if you aren't that family he's looking for"  he explains

"Thank you, Peter, you're a real one," I say

"No problem but Apollo you're going to need to tell Anastasia soon" he pauses briefly, "about everything" 

"I know and we are going to tell her "I respond to his statement

"But soon, don't leave it too late because I just have a feeling that things are gonna happen soon and they're not all good things plus it's better she knows everything instead of finding out of the blue and having been left in the dark for so long" he states

"We will" I reply

after the conversation with Peter, I rush over to my mum and tell her everything I had just found out.

"Mum, we have to tell her today" I command.

"We will, it looks as if I've, unfortunately, left it too late and time has now caught up with me," she says sadly.

Anastasia arrives home along with Sasha and Peter.

"Hey Peter" I take him to the side, "Can you do me a favor and take Sasha to the park or something for a few minutes maybe even an hour, we have something important to tell Anastasia"

"Yeah, sure," he says as he turns around and walks to Sasha and asks her if we could go to the park, "Anastasia you can't go with them, we need to talk to you" I cut her off quickly before she could ask why Peter only asked Sasha and not her.

"Okay, cool," she says, and just before they leave she yells out, "have fun, you guys"

"So what's up" she questions.

"Okay firstly honey we did this to protect you," mum says reassuringly

"What did you do" she questions with a look of confusion displayed across her face.

"So you know how mum and dad got divorced and you would be alternated between them, always having one week together" I state.

"Yea, but dad passed away that's why I stopped" she exclaims

"Yes, you're right," mum says as she pauses, " but that isn't the full story"

"What is it?" Anastasia questions, curiosity laced in her voice.

"Well he died yes but that week you weren't with him" mum pauses as she holds back tears.

"Yes, I know that," Anastasia says, as she seems to be getting annoyed with us going around the bush but she holds back as she can see it's clearly a sensitive topic for mum.

"Well honey, your dad wasn't the only one in the car, your sister was too" mum finally manages to get the last few words out.

"Mum are you okay, do you know that I don't have a sister, I haven't had one since I was born" she exclaims sounding a bit concerned for mum.

"Honey you did have a sister," mum says.

"You had a twin sister," I tell her.

"You guys, I didn't have any sister, let alone a twin, and I'm sure I would remember" she shouts as she gets annoyed with us clearly thinking we're delusional.

"Dad's body was only ever found and we never found hers, we tried and searched everywhere but eventually came to the conclusion that she probably died as well" I explain a bit more to her in detail.

"honey you did have a sister, but we erased your memory of her in hopes to protect you and taking away your pain" mum says loudly as tears stream down her face.

"You did WHAT!" I yell profusely at my mum and Apollo, I mean how they could do this to me, it is unexplainable!

My mum begins whimpering near the couch as my emotions begin acting like wildfires.

My mum tries to comfort me with her words which does not make me any less angry than I am right now.

I shove her away from me, rage overflowing within me, along with confusion and sadness.

I don't know what to do!

I've had a sister, a twin sister all this time and I didn't even remember her, are the only thoughts that run through my head as tears run down my face.
