she passed away.
When Alaine peeked into Jane’s room, her heart dropped. She looked like an old woman, so thin and pale, and was attached to many wires. Her hair had fallen out, probably due the chemo treatments, but Jane’s eyes were closed.
Alaine slowly stepped into her room, and with each step, her heart beat faster and faster. She started to second guess herself, and just as she was about to turn around, Jane’s eyes opened.
“ Hello,” Jane breathed weakly. “Are you looking for someone?”
“ Um. Yes. I. I’m looking for Jane Wilder,” Alaine stuttered.
Jane smiled. “I’ m Jane Wilder. Do I know you?”
Alaine paused, swallowing hard. “Yes…and no.”
When she saw Jane’s brow crease she knew she had to tell her, even though she was terrified of rejection. Alaine walked up to Jane and carefully rested her hand on hers.
“M rs. Wilder, my name is Alaine Gray. I am your daughter.”
Jane’s eyes widened in total confusion. She began to shake her head, but as she looked into Alaine’s eyes, she began to weep.
“How did you find me?”
“ Well…it’s kind of a complicated story. On my eighteenth birthday, an Angel named Aurora once told me about you and my birth father. She gave me your name and said that you were in the area. I did some research online and found out where you lived.”
Jane shook her head, but after a few moments, took hold of Ala ine’s arm and pulled her closer and embraced her. She wept, and apologized for having to give her up, and prayed that she had a wonderful life.
Alaine thanked her for making the right decision, and shared stories of her childhood, and all of her wonderful memories growing up with the Gray’s.
A few hours later a teenage girl came walking in, and paused when she saw Alaine.
Her skin was flawless, the color of cream, and her features were very petite. Long auburn hair curled down her shoulders, and her eyes were a bright green. She was beautiful. Alaine introduced herself, and found out that her name was Victoria. This was her half-sister.
Victoria walked over to Jane and gave her a kiss on the forehead, and then put some fresh flowers in a vase, which sat in front of her. Victoria seemed happy to learn that she had an older sister. Alaine noticed a lot of similarities between her and Victoria. Although Alaine had chocolate brown hair and eyes, they had the same shaped eyes and smile.
Alaine made sure to vi sit daily, and Jane enjoyed talking with and listening to Alaine’s stories about growing up.
B ut it wasn’t long before the cancer ravaged Jane’s weak body, and it soon came to the point where she could no longer talk. Alaine still came, sat next to her bedside, and told her happy stories of her youth. Within a few weeks, Jane was gone.
Alaine was devastated, but also glad she was given the chance to have met and talked with her birth mother before she passed, and also relieved that she and Jane had a chance to make amends.
After their mother passed, Alaine and Victoria kept in close contact. Alaine helped her with whatever she needed to finish her last year of high school, and after graduation, paid for her courses to study Real Estate. That was something Victoria wanted to do, because her boyfriend’s parents were in real estate and they had become very wealthy.
During their times together , Alaine opened her heart to Victoria. She told her about the note, the bloodstone, and the secret world of the Angels who roamed the earth.
Victoria swore t o never tell a soul, and Alaine believed her. She knew her sister had a pure heart, and she was finally glad to share her secret with someone. Victoria shared about her childhood and how her father left them when he found out her mother was sick. He wasn’t a very nice man, so Victoria was glad when he left.
Now, Victoria was 20 years old, and engaged to her high-school sweetheart, Christian Wise. Their wedding was a month away, and Alaine was in a predicament. She now had to
