A Sister's Love

Chapter 13

"What do you mean?" she asked horrified but trying her best to stay calm.

"Exactly what you heard. You are Darrel I know that. Don't you even try to deny it. I don't know why you have bothered to put on a disguise."

" I don't know what you are talking about. And it's a little offensive that you only talked to me because  of who ever Darrel was." She tried her best to sound hurt.

Victor looked at her for a few minutes and then apologized. " I really am sorry Daina. I didn't mean to offend you. You were like Darrel;my sister, in so many ways, I just assumed and hoped that it was her. I am sorry."

"It's alright. I think I understand." 'I know exactly how you feel. If not better then definitely worse.'

" So what is your hobby?"

"Painting my nails." 'Reading'

"Really"

"Yeah."

"Why aren't they painted now?"

"I got tired of all the designs I made." 'Can you make things when painting nails?' "I drew a flower and a bunny on my thumb nail and ring finger nail!" 'Can we even do that?'

"That's interesting. I have seen my mum painting her nails with.. what do you girls call it?"

'Man! He knows the tactics! What on Earth is it called?' "Nail paint?" She tried her best to sound confident.

"No! It's called nail polish! I now remember."

"That's nice. I have always called it nail paint."

"It's alright. I love to read."

'That's a lie! You hate to read! Ugh!' "Which books have you read so far?" 'Two can play the game buddy.'

"Uh, um- I read online."

'The master of lies everyone!' "That's great. I have to go now. It was great spending time with you. Hope we meet again! Bye."

"Yeah. Bye."

Darrel hurried back and tears flowed down her face freely. She called Ryan and told him to pick her up and cut the phone. She sat on a bench and let all her tears and sobs take over her.

 'All of that just happened because of me! My own little brother can't sleep or eat because of me! Victor's sad too! I'm officially the worst person alive! Why did I even do this? I should probably do something to bring back their happiness. But what can I do? There's nothing that can help you get over the death of someone you love. I still brood over the death of mom and dad. Dan's world is now completely without his family members. He lives with someone I was friends with. I don't even know if he likes it there. I wonder if giving Dan little gifts everyday would make him happy. I don't think so but I can have someone deliver stuff and money to Victor's house so that I do not leave them burdened. Oh no! I can't do that! If I give money Victor will figure out that Daina was actually Darrel! He almost caught me today! I wonder what gave me away! I changed my voice and everything!'

 Then a car stopped near her and she noticed Ryan in it. She stood up and walked to the car discreetly wiping her tears and then sat silently for the whole ride.

The rest of the day, she spent quietly and then after a few silent days, she was confronted by Raymond who scolded her for her distracted mind and then comforted her as she narrated her feelings and told about the pain. He calmed her down and told her to forget about visiting her brother and best friend again, she immediately protested but he stated the consequences of visiting her brother and not forgetting her past life.

Darrel understood his intentions but was overwhelmed. After a few more days she started being a completely new person to get in the character she had to play for the mission. Soon she realized that moving on was the only option to ease pain and then after a few months, she was ready for her mission.

After 6 whole months, Darrel, now had been trained to defend herself and also learnt the code language along with the syllabus she had to learn for her new high school. She had been informed that after finishing this mission, most of the following missions would be much easier and would require less effort. She would also be teamed  up with two other people whom she would do most of her missions with. She had successfully learnt to hack and had also learnt about most of the rival agencies and gangs. The S.S.A. was not only a secret agency, it dealt with gangs. 

"Hey Ryan, do you think I will be able to get through half a year of high school which is normal and not the one under this agency? Alive?"

"Of course! The kids in high school are sick!"

"So I will catch a disease?"

"No! This sick means that they are awesome! They party hard and don't study. They are kinda rude but friendly too. I don't think those sentences go together but I know you understand."

"That I did."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why what who?"

"What?"

"Why what who what!"

"What on Earth are you doing?"

"Irritating you?"

"Why? And don't you dare start that stupid thing again!"

"Sorry! Nick laughed at it so I thought you would too! I didn't know you were grumpy today!"

"I'm sorry too! I am just mad that I have to go to school after finishing school! It's not fair you know!"

"I know! Also did you see May today? She was so mad! I don't know why but she beat me and Nick after I teased her."

"What did you say?"

"That she looked like a clown!"

"You should never say that! What is wrong with you?"

"I say that to you and you don't mind!"

"Because I a different! Do you know she spends an hour on putting make up and all that?"

"Why don't you?"

"I hate wasting time on that! I would rather be reading!"

"Don't you get tired of reading?"

"Do you get tired of playing?"

"No."

"Exactly. Now look ahead. You are driving. Don't forget that!"

"How can I?"

"With you nothing is expected."

"Well, expect the unexpected!"
