Chapter 38: Loving Arms to Hold

“well about what,” asked father, looking at me strangely.

          “Ok, I’ll tell you my secret that I’ve been hiding since my birth. But only Ariel and father are allowed to hear it,” I stated.

          Hera nodded at this catching onto my plan and took everyone that wasn’t father and Ariel with her. I then stood up from father’s lap and strode over to sit by Ariel and spoke in English to her:

          “it’s been a long time, little sister. You’ve grown so much. I had my suspicions when Gorn told me that there was a woman here who matched your description, but I could only guess it was you. How have you been?”

          She stood up abruptly and started to tear-up. She then fell to her knees and looked at me as if I were a ghost. Though, to her I was one. I walked over to her and gave her a big hug. Then I kissed her forehead as I had always done whenever she was sad. She cried when the government took away her favorite candy store. She cried when Davis took her jacket. And she laughed when I took it back along with a couple of his teeth.

          “It has been a while, hasn’t it? I missed you so much. I wonder how dad and mom are doing with both of us gone like this? That matters little now, though. Now we can catch up. Play tag like you loved to do. I always had to get back my knives from you when you stole them. I was gonna give you one later for your birthday. Though, I died before that.”

          She kept crying as I said this. I continued:

          “Well? How did life go after I died? Tell me little sister.”

          I cupped her head in my hands and blew at her face. She giggled at that and rolled over. As she did, she grabbed me with her hands and bundled me in her arms. Now laughing at this she called me by my old name. truth be told I never liked that name. It felt… wrong.

          “Brother Hank! I missed you so much! After you died… I didn’t know how to feel. Life just changed so suddenly, and everyone felt like it was normal. I thought I was crazy. I had to go to therapy. Why did you leave me!? Why!?”

          Near the end of her rambling mess, she started to vent. I just absorbed it. Like a sponge. How has she been? How has she kept up this life that just up and left? Finally, father spoke up:

          “What are you two speaking? I know this may sound strange, but are the daughter I’ve always known?”

          “Yes, yes I am. I simply am also her brother from her past life. I hope this doesn’t change your view on me. Before this life I was a young teenager living in north America. In old America Canada. The continent to the west of Europe is called that and it will soon be discovered I hope,” I explained.

          “Oh”
