Chapter Twenty-Eight: Blood Test
Cynthia's POV
"Lusamine I demand a blood test!!!"
I said on the phone.
"Cynthia I'm not lying you are our sister."
Said Lusamine on the phone.
"Look I'll believe it when the results come back."
I said hanging up.
"This is a bunch of bull sh-"
"Uh Cynthia is something wrong I don't think I've heard those words come out of your mouth before."
Said Aracel standing in the doorway of our room.
Lillian had left when I told her that I needed to be alone. I'm still processing what had witnessed. I watch Giles die... This was probably the scariest moment in my life.
"Cynthia you sure you okay? Even when you and I didn't get along you never cursed at me so what's up?"
She asked.
Aracel was absolutely right. Even when I wasn't the nicest person back then when I lost my title I still never cussed but today I didn't even know what to say about what's going on! I literally can't think of anything else to say.
I still felt bad about the way I treated Aracel. I remember that Lillian even used to admire me at one point but I'm not so sure now. She probably thinks I'm pathetic.
I remember moving to snow point city since living there was much cheaper and I couldn't afford my mansion in celestic town anymore.
I pretty much blamed Aracel for everything. I blamed her for having to move my family to a frozen hell, I blamed her for for us having to live in a crappy house where the heat sometimes didn't work, I blamed her for pretty for me having to go from a beautiful room with the view of the mountains to a creepy old Aric that smelled like must and barely any heat reached to the attic so I would lay there and freeze to death.
I blamed her for me losing my title and this caused my grandmother to become disappointed in me mainly for dumping punch on Aracel and for treating everyone the way that I did.
I'm pretty sure that she thought that I was a total failure. Now I don't blame Aracel anymore for my problems. If anything I blamed myself....
I'm the one who lost. I could've tried harder but I knew deep down that I would never be able to beat her.
Especially not now. I don't even have my team anymore. I only have Mimkyu who I haven't even trained yet.
I knew that we would never move back to celestic town and I knew that I would be stuck in this frozen hell.
I missed the warm weather back in celestic town. I had to leave behind everything I loved and cherished.
I had grown up with people and I had actually met Steven in celestic town.
He was my first crush. He was here visiting family and he saw me and we would always play together in the summer.
Things changed when he became champion and started dating Aracel.
I hated Aracel even more when she started dating the boy I've had a crush on since I was eight.
I even demanded that she had a battle with me right in the middle of their date which I did on purpose.
Then Aracel and I had a battle. Of course she beat me with her number one partner her shiny Furfrou just like before.
I remember how much anger I felt. I can't believe that I'd lose to some to years younger than me!
I should be better but she was special and I was not... Now there's absolutely nothing special about me now....
I'm not even sure if she actually likes me or if she just feels sorry for me. I just don't know... Maybe both...
She actually seemed like she had put aside her former hatred towards me and was willing to give me a second chance but why? It's not at all like I deserved it.
I was the last person to deserve grace. If anything she should've just let me get arrested but Guzma spoke up and let me stay at his house since I had nowhere else to go.
And Aracel's been super protective over me and caring towards me. It's not like I deserve it but for whatever reason she was nice to me.
"It's a long story..."
I said under my breath.
"Why were you talking with Lusamine about a blood test?"
"So you heard our conversation?"
"I could hear you're yelling. Guzma could too. He sent me to check up on you."
Said Aracel.
"Yeah I know and I'm tired of being treated like I'm a bomb that's about to explode!"
I said screaming into my pillow.
Then I saw Guzma give me weird look.
"She's having a moment."
Said Aracel trying to explain my behavior so he could under stand.
No understands what I've been through. I've been treated like dirt for so long that people think I'm broken.
No one seems to under stand! Not even Aracel who's been nothing but kind to me since I got here.
Not even Jonathan who just appealed to me and he was the only one who reached out to me besides Aracel.
Lillian tries but I think she's confused by my behavior and she doesn't seem to understand. No one does.
"Okay... I'm going to leave now..."
Said Guzma walking away.
I laid there on my bed and squeezed the pillow tightly to my chest.
"Cynthia you seemed extremely happy a few days ago when you first arrived at my house and now..."
"I just witnessed someone die and now I have Lusamine telling me that I'm her sister!"
I said while crying.
"Cynthia isn't that good news! You have a family."
"Yeah I come from a crazy one! And it explains so much!"
I said while crying.
"Cynthia! You're not crazy! You've just been through a lot! Now don't be so down on yourself! You're being way to hard on yourself and it's making me sad seeing you freak out like this. I understand that you social anxiety but-"
"That's only half of what's wrong with me! What if I am really related to Lucile that means that I could turn out crazy like she did!"
"It was the ultra beast venom none of this was her doing!"
Shouted Aracel.
"Still! What if the cures for her didn't work what if she is still crazy?!"
"Lillie told me that she used to genuinely care about them but ever since Maxwell Mohn's death she hasn't been the same! She abused them! I'm just scared!"
I said while bursting into tears.
Aracel hugged me and tried to calm me down.
Then I heard Ash knocking on our door.
"Is Lillian here?"
Asked Ash.
Then I saw Ash looking at me in shock.
"Is now not a good time? You look your having a midlife crisis."
Said Ash.
"You can say that again."
I said.
"Ash Lillian isn't here she's still talking with Elijah."
Said Aracel.
"I'll just leave then..."
Said Ash walking away.
"He probably thinks I'm crazy."
I said.
"No he's just... Well... He's Ash if that explanation isn't enough for you than I don't know what is."
Said Aracel.
"Yeah I guess..."
"Well you can't just not go to hospital so... What if I were to take you."
Asked Aracel.
"That would make me feel a little better."
I said quietly.
"Well let's go. Get dressed and I'll take you there."
Then I heard Alain knock on the door.
"Can I come too Conway is driving me crazy!"
Said Alain.
"Yes you can come if you stop taking about Siebold."
Said Aracel.
"Okay fine... I have nothing better to do."
Said Alain.
Alain left and was waiting for us down stairs. I still haven't been able to change out of my pajamas.
I glanced down at my suitcase and picked out a plain grey t-shirt, black converse sneakers, some and a pair of jeans that were still too big for me.
Guzma was hoping that I would grow into them over time.
"Don't you want to dress a little nicer? You're meeting your biological mother for the first time."
"This women might not even be my mom Lusamine could just be crazy!"
"You and I both know that if anyone's crazy around here it's Elijah and second of all Lusamine wouldn't lie to you."
Said Aracel.
Aracel wasn't wrong. Lusamine is very honest and will help you with anything you asked. Lying was the last thing that she would ever do.
"I'm fine with a t-shirt and jeans."
I said.
I had given up on keeping up with my appearance. It's not like I cared anymore. I had nothing left to really care about.
The only people I cared about were Jonathan and Aracel who took me in.
Those two understood me more than anyone else here. Even though they still can't explain my behavior at least they try.
Guzma just labels it as being hormonal even though I'm technically an adult and not a teenager by growth and health sta dreads but by law I was still a minor here.
I was still being treated like a kid. I cared about Guzma and was greatful for him talking me in but he just lanes me as a messed up teenager who desperately needed help.
Okay I probably was screwed up but being hated and not loved for so long just made me not want to care about anyone else.
Jonathan seemed to genuinely care about how I felt and Aracel has been nothing but kind and tried to understand how I was feeling.
"Did you pack anything nice for this trip?"
Asked Aracel.
I had packed two blouses because Guzma made me. He even made me pack sandals and I honestly just wanted to fade away and not be noticed.
I stopped wearing makeup and caring about my appearance because I felt like no one would take the time to know me anyway:
what was the point of trying to dress up and look nice if there was no one to impress.
"I have two blouses but if I'm getting drawn I want to be comfortable and besides you know I have to wear a hoodie so people don't know who I am."
I said.
"Cynthia people will get over it eventually."
"I'm just tired of being started at!"
I shouted.
Cynthia sat down next to and gave me a hug.
"Look I know you're only wasting this way because you're scared and it's okay to be scared but don't take it to the extreme."
Said Aracel.
"I know..."
I said quietly.
Then I quickly got dressed into my jeans, t-shirt, black hoodie, and sneakers.
I brushed through my blonde curly hair which looked like a mess of blonde curls. Gladion, Lillie, and Lusamine have straight hair so why can't I?!
Who do I even get my traits from if I'm related to them?! I don't look like either of them.
We all have blonde hair but not the same shade of blonde. I was tall and thin like Lusamine but she was way prettier than I was.
At least she wasn't scrawny like me and had messy curly hair that would easily get tangled and was hard to brush.
Then I had gotten my hair brush stuck in my hair and Aracel looked over and giggled.
"Here let me help. I'll try to be gentle."
She said.
I nodded and let Aracel brush through my thick messy curls. Eventually she was done and she smiled at me.
"You're lucky to be a natural beauty. I you have a good complexion."
Said Aracel while smiling.
"Aracel I'm far from beautiful! Look at me?! I'm scrawny and my hair looks like it blew up!"
"If anyone's hair looks it blew up it would be Ash's hair because he never brushes it."
Said Aracel.
"Well he's a boy that's different."
I said
"Cynthia you are now where near ugly you hear me?"
Asked Aracel.
I wasn't sure if I beloved her but I nodded and looked back at my reflection in the mirror.
"Are we ready to go?"
Asked Alain.
"We're ready."
Said Aracel.
I walked downstairs with them to go to the hospital to get my blood test.
Lusamine's POV
"I'm so happy that Cynthia is okay it sounds like she's been through a lot who set her up?"
Asked my mom.
I didn't want to tell her about Silas since he's been nothing but helpful to me today. I would've never found out about my mother if it weren't for him.
"I don't know they just were able to prove her innocent. Se pretty mush lost everything and se lived out on the streets for a few months. Guzma took her in under his wing until he can find her a home."
I said.
"She can stay with us. She is my daughter."
Said my mom.
"I'm sure that Paul can find a place for her."
I said.
Then I got a text from Cynthia saying she was here and waiting for me in the testing lab.
"Mom I have to go I'll be back on ten minutes."
I said.
"Okay I'll be waiting here."
Said my mom.
She seemed so happy about Cynthia but what if Cynthia isn't my sister?
"Hello Lusamine we'll be running some blood test I need you to sit down in the chair next to Cynthia."
Said the doctor.
I saw Aracel, Selene and Alain standing there. Alain was eating a sandwich, and Selene was drinking out of a juice box. Aracel sat there quietly and gave Cynthia an encouraging thumbs up.
"Okay so just sit back and relax this won't hurt."
Said the doctor.
I saw the needle and I think I passed out because I don't remember anything about the blood test and I woke up laying in A chair next to Selene.
"What happened to me?"
I asked.
"You passed out."
Said Cynthia who was drinking a juice box.
"Lusamine you look pale here drink this."
Said Selene handing me a juice box.
I smiled and took the juice box and began to drink out it. Then the doctor came in with lots of paper work.
"You guys are related. Cynthia, Lusamine is your little sister no doubt about it."
Said the doctor.
Cynthia turned really pale and passed out on the floor.
