"Daughter"!! I yelled, looking at the pictures again. I had a sister whom I didn't know of, and where was she, why isn't she with me, what happened to her,and why did they keep this from me. I glanced at my picture,together with hers comparing them. We resemble each other though, pointed nose, black long curly hair and shiny diamond eyes.

I packed all these pictures into my bag including the documents with weird languages. I woke up a little late,so I hurriedly got ready for school. It was snowy today,so I took along my hoodie with kind white boots and a long coat. At the hall I met up with Tricia and Jess . "Clara...about yesterday..", Tricia started,blocking my way.

I walked away,dropping my bag on the desk. I walked to the principal's office,surrounded by detectives. "We've come to a conclusion that you had nothing to do with it,the cause of death is suicide, Sorry for the inconvenience", declared the principal standing up. Suicide, no,I was about to protest,but someone called her for an emergency. "You can go", she added,leaving me alone in her office in thoughts.

There's something wrong,I was accused just yesterday and now ..suicide..., I wonder how he turned the tables to avoid suspicion. Immediately class ended, they rushed to me, "Clara...we're sorry okay...", they chorused. I rolled my eyes,shaking my head. "Okay..", I smirked,hugging them.

I saw Adrian waiting for me,so I rushed to him. "You promised me b-ball training,now let's start! I exclaimed happily running to the court. He looked at me laughing, while walking back to me bouncing the ball. He threw it to me, slowly. I caught it easily, "First up, you should learn to balance the ball and protect it no matter what, from attackers", he explained, receiving the ball from me.

"Try to attack me, go to the last end and I'll start in the middle,so try to get the b-ball from me". I nodded, running to the end. I tied up my hair,and started attacking him with all my might, but he was too experienced for me. "That's not fair.., am a beginner" I debated, throwing a fit. He bounced the ball , throwing it to me.

"Okay.. let's learn how to throw the ball making 100% sure it's a goal",. I stood in position, before I took my time. He repeated that I should take a deep breath before throwing the ball and imagine doing it perfectly before tackling it.

I sighed, looked at the post, closed my eyes taking a deep breath before throwing it. "I did it", I rejoiced as the ball passed through the net. I jumped happily, turning around in a funny way. "We're closing", the janitor alarmed, making me roll my eyes in annoyance. "Let's practice another time, it's late". I threw the ball angrily at him, walking out of the court.

"See you tomorrow "!! I coaxed, running off. When I got to the woods, Max wasn't there. I saw him entering the woods after me. "I've never seen you coming from there,..in that", I snapped,pointing to him in shorts and t-shirt like a sportswear practice. "I had some errands.., did you find anything". I nodded,walking to the cottage.

I removed a collection of pictures and the documents, spreading them on the table. "This language is intense, but I'll figure it out...", he exclaimed, taking a look at the picture. His eyes widened in shock, "Catherine..., why do you have her picture". My brain buzzed, "Wait..you know her"?. He nodded, glancing at the other pictures. "She was adopted together with me, she's like me , but I have no idea of her history".

I got up and paced around cluelessly, “She’s my sister”. He raised his head abruptly awestruck, “This doesn’t make sense, why would he adopt the child of his enemies”. I sat down unconsciously folding my lips. “Mom really hid a lot of things from me... didn’t she trust me..”, I alluded,wiping a tear from my eyes.

“I don’t know where she is now, but I’m sure she’s still at Beverly Hills”, Max appraised,handing over the pictures to me. I was in the same school, that too with my sister, it couldn’t get any worse, but all I knew was that I had to find her, she’s my only family left. “The easiest way to find out is to check her name, I believe he named us after him.. Morrison, and plus the date...”, He added, making a smile form on my face.

He was right, after all, why didn’t I think of this before . I leaped with excitement, hugging him rejoicing, “Thank you, thank you “!!. This could help me discover more about my mom. My phone beeped. It was a call from the police. “Is this Clara Dickson”, the man asked. “Yes... what can I do for you..”. He told me to come to their station for an emergency.

“Go... I’ll go back to the burnt cottage and check”, Max said. I nodded, leaving the woods. When I got to the police station, there was a man waiting. “Please sit.. it’s about your mom..”. I gulped lightly in surprise. “We found bite marks on her neck..she died of loss of blood... , it’s confirmed, we’ll update you of any progress”. I stood up, widening my eyes in shock.

Thanks for reading this chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. It’s confirmed now that Ian killed Clara’s mom, but for what reason, why is he killing girls from Beverly if he’s sure about her looks.
