It was good to know that my sister had finally been found after so long. Hopefully they will leave my family alone, and hopefully I won't be found. "Do you know what injuries they gave her?"
"From the overview that I got, she was slightly malnourished, and that most injuries were recent. Likes scrapes and such, though they were able to find out that she didn't have any psychological trauma. Airis has been tryin to look into this Conner kid, there is a possibility that she is affected by Stockholm syndrome, instead of actually in love with him. Would you mind if I showed you a few pictures?" I looked up at him, his smiling face has gone to a serious one.
"Uh yeah sure? Pictures of what?" I really hope it isn't something like pictures of his victims.
Sebastian went back to messing with his phone and showed me a picture.
The first picture had two little boys playing with two little girls. There were people in the background, but it wasn't easy to see what they were doing. The room the picture appears to have been taken in, seems like a class room. The two girls are sitting with a desk in front of them, and the two boys are turned around to face them with a desk behind them. One boy has light blonde hair, what looks like bright green eyes, and is wearing a school uniform. The uniform is a navy blue shirt with khakis, the girls are wearing a white shirt with a blue skirt. All for of them look no older than 5 or 6 years old. The other boy has dark brown hair, the eye's can't be seen in the photo, though it is easy to tell he is looking at the girl in front of him. The two girls look alike, one has light blue eyes with blonde hair, the other has light green eyes with blonde hair. I recognized the second girl as my sister Sarah, and the girl next to her was me. I don't remember the two boys though.
"Would it be ok if I used a phone to call my brother?" I knew I had a year book from around then, maybe I could ask him.
"What's the number, and why? Cause it would be better if no one knew where you are." His face is serious, and also sad. Like he doesn't want to deny me unless he has to.
"I want to ask my brother to grab my old yearbook from then. I feel like I knew the two boys, but I can't remember who they were. It's been a long time, that I don't even remember anyone in my elementary classes. And I think, my brother was either just a baby, or a toddler. Plus if he already knows that she isn't me, then he will probably act so." I'm pleading, not even sure if it will do anything.
"How about this, I will call him, I will speak first. I will be here the whole time, and he will be on speaker. Is that ok?" I nod, "What's the number?"
"6-11-29-71" I know his number, but part of me is scared that he might not pick up.
"Name?" Sabastian looks up at me after typing on his phone.
"Elias, though I call him Eli." He puts the phone on speaker and we hear the ringing.
"Yo, who is this?" I almost start crying at his voice.
"Is this Elias? I need you to do somethings for me."
"Yeah, it is. Who's asking, and what exactly could I possibly do for you?"
"Your sister is Lilith, but goes by Lily right?"
"Yeah, she is, so what? You her kidnapper asking for ransom? Or you gonna tell me that your trying to help her?" God damn it Elias, what is wrong with you.
"Actually, I'm need you to not report or say anything. I'm with her, and my girlfriend is Airis. You met her the other day, I need you to get a book for me and give it to her. You are alone at the moment yes?"
"Yeah, I am. And how do I know that you are actually Airis' boyfriend? Even her cousins haven't seen him. And how do I know you are really with my sister. You could just be lying."
"How about this, you go into her room, and she can tell you where the book is. And honestly kid, you don't have to believe that I'm Airis' boyfriend. Though she has two cousin's that live here, Jane and James. Her mothers name is Emily, fathers name is Jeramiah, and he died during a shootout, five years ago I think it was. She has a cousin named Amanda, another names Ezekial, and she use to have a dog with some weird name like Hermoncilly, that she always called Celly. That enough info?" Damn, if he researched all that he must have been a master hacker, cause I didn't even know their names.
"Fine, I'll take your word for it. Where is this book I am supposed to find?"
"The book is in the closet towards the back in a box with yearbooks written on it. The one from 15 years ago, from Elmark Elementary."
"Ah there is my dear sister, ok I'm looking. So how ya been?"
"There is something you should know."
"What might that be to accept the other chick as you, and that someone is after you?"
"Actually, she is your sister, we are twins. She went missing 15 years ago, and her name is Sarah. And actually your spot on, I guess someone is after me so I won't be able to go back home. Would you mind helping her, and be weary of people named Conner."
"Oh you mean Conner Donnova? He has visited her at the hospital. I was there, stood in the hall and heard them talk. He told her that he wouldn't help, and that he just wanted her to get a chance at home. That if she really wanted to find him again, he would give her his number before she leaves the hospital. She saw me and had me come in. She tried to get me to tell him the address, and he said he didn't want it and gave me his number instead."
"Do you mind if I get that from you?"
"Nah, it's 6-19-31-20. He did tell me after that if I got in touch with someone regarding my sister that I should be careful. Said people were looking for her, and that he knew she was with someone ever since she went to the bar, but he didn't know who. And that it was better for her to stay out of sight. And that the only way I could possibly see her, was if she stayed hidden." His voice was breaking, and trembling, he was crying and it was my fault.
"Yeah it's good to be weary, but I wasn't lying. My girlfriend is Airis, I'll call and ask her to pick up that book, so keep it with you. I know she is staying with her cousins, so if you go to see James take it to her for me. And Conner wasn't lying, though I don't know if he is helping them or not. You haven't called him have you?"
"No, it's been to crazy. I haven't even told my mom that they aren't the same. They seem so happy to have Lillie be ok, that they didn't question it not being her."
"If you don't mind me asking how did you know they were different."
"Her eyes are a different color, light green. Lilie's are a light blue. It's a subtle change, but that is the easiest to notice. Let me guess whoever is after Lillie know's that the easiest difference is in the eyes."
"Yeah, it seems so. Got any last words to say before we go?"
"Yeah, be safe Lillie, and whoever you are with better not try anything or I'll kill them."
"Trust me kid, I'd get to them first. Or maybe Airis, be hauling their ass to jail."
"You seem like a chill guy, take care of my sister for me. And I'll make sure the book gets to Airis. Though is it the only book from that school?"
"Yeah it is, I had to go to another school afterwards due to the threat that losing my sister posed. And after her abduction the school got shut down, police weren't able to find any type of leads. And the school was down on it's security. Though I don't remember if there was anything else."
"Ok, well I guess I'll catch up with you the next time I get a chance. Please be careful. And if you are gonna worry about us, just know that we are doing well. Mom, and Dad are planning the 21st birthday with her, as a family event. It should take place after she gets out. If you wanna go, I can tell ya where it'll be. It won't be home though, there was a break in the neighbor hood, so today is actually my last day here. I was supposed to be packing stuff up, cause we are moving closer to Uncle Vincent. I haven't seen the house yet, and if you wanna come, your best bet would be dressing like a guy and hiding your hair. Other than me, and Airis, and whoever you bring, you might not want to talk to others. I don't know about Sarah, but I gotta admit, if I didn't notice the difference I would have thought she was you. Please be careful you guys. And I would like to be informed of when you guys all head back with Airis, or whatever you guys are planning. Don't get me wrong, I heard she came with her boyfriend and that she was planning on heading back towards the end of the month. And I assumed that if your with the boyfriend, that you would head back with them. Just please be careful, and I wanna know when you get out safe. Ok?"
"Yeah we'll tell you. When we get back it will probably be safer. Also please don't save my number unless you absolutely have to. And DO NOT bother me."
"Got it, thanks for letting me know she is ok, you probably didn't have to."
"Your welcome kid, just don't let anyone know that Sarah isn't Lillie. Jane might figure it out, though she would probably confront Airis about it. You keep that kiddo safe."
"Got it"
Then the call was over, and I broke down crying.
