Chapter four
Doc beneth pov
Doctor Beneth has had a very slow day at the hospital, nothing spectacular just the regular Brookville medical history, of absolute quietness, she sighs and seats deep into her office chair when she hears a loud ring of the bell, which symbolizes emergency, she quickly gets up runs out of her office and ran directly into a flustered Billy jean, and billy is never flustered, she is known as the town's giant plus they were in high school together so she understands her well
" thank God Doc Beneth, I called 911 when I saw them, she explains still in a daze " this got doc beneath's attention because in all of the 20years that she has known Billy, she is one tough cookie, she walks off to the emergency room which is straight down the hall and opposite the surgery room, and with that urgency, she pulled open the door preparing to cringe inwardly from the scene but came face to face with a baby who is wide awake looking at her intensely, Beneth walked past the child to a bloody figure on the hospital bed, walking closer she could see that the figure belongs to a lady, beautiful bone structure and beautiful face judging from what she is seeing.
A nurse comes in with a hospital board and then carefully The Doctor examines her, first checking her pulse, very erratic and there, her heartbeat is a bit fast but ok, she noticed her breast has some breast milk leaking out and how tender they are, she then decided to check the stomach of the jane doe and found a badly severed umbilical cord, both Doctor and nurse startled in shock, and the nurse quickly picked up the bright eye child, removing the cloth covering the child and brought the child to beneth revealing a badly cut cord as well.
A few minutes later after conducting the test, they found that jane doe delivered alone and attempted to cut the cord the umbilical cord, a second nurse helped the first one undress her and cut the cord properly and bath her before wearing her a clean hospital gown, a wet nurse picked up the baby that everyone has started calling silver eyes and cleaned her up and fed her, the mother still slept, apparent loss of blood and fatigue has kept her sleeping, although she already underwent transfusion and is now sleeping soundly.
Nobody knows who they are both mother and child alike, who knows who they are? Why were they running and to where?

Gemini's pov
3years later
Brooksville has become a home for me And my child, Gem has grown into a beautiful child Loved by all, but there was something weird about her, like the mystery That still surrounds her father" sigh" He called himself Jim, laughs I remember that very cold morning on my way back from the stream where I always take a morning dip and I encountered a stranger, a beautiful stranger, by God I have never seen someone so handsome LOL
Flashback
I just lost my parents in a car crash, they were Jenifer and Lawrence Donovan, we were inseparable and my best friends, so naturally their death wad hard, I clocked 23 years old and extremely beautiful if you ask me,5ft tall, milky light skin tone, long golden brown hair that reaches to my waist, and curves, loads of then but I hated guys detested them
I was the envy of all the girls and their mothers in oackland, and the walking desire of boys and men alike.
One faithful morning, I was sleeping in pink lacy panties and pink singlet when I heard something like a huge rockfall, I stood up and checked my window but I found nothing, I shrugged it off got up to go have my morning swim, I threw on jean short and climbed downstairs to the living room and walked out.
So my parents left me this house, I don't even know what to do with it, although I know they won't be excited to find that I plan to sell it off and travel the world, she walks the path that leads to the stream, she stands and admires the land, it belonged to generations of Donovan family and passed it down, it is a land that has a brook cutting across it at the far end of the boundary between us and the Mackenzie.
I got to the stream and started pulling my clothes, to dive in and clear my head which has become a norm for me since my parents died, after taking off my clothes, I dived into the River and felt my body break into the silent water and got welcomed by the cold, that I welcomed with open arms… after staying under and holding my breath for a while, I broke out of the water and then came output on my clothes and turned to go back, that was when I saw a man right beside me, leaning weakly on a tree Trump, and my breath caught.
I was about running when he spoke with so much timbre in his voice and authority even in his weak state "please don't go, help me please." And then he opened his eyes and I am a goner, silver brown? Am I dreaming? I instantly felt a reaction to him, like I was being drawn to him by a force, I wanted to run, But my legs had a mind of their own, I found myself helping him lean on me as we make our way to the mansion all the while thinking and asking myself if he saw me naked, we got to the porch and I led him inside.
Getting inside...
End of flashback
I heard my phone ring in the back room of crusty B restaurant and BnB, oh well after Billy found us, she gave me a job here and then invited me to share an apartment with her, Brooksville has been friendly and supportive, although I see the questions in Their eyes and I have some enemies too, like margo and her colonies.
Before I could walk over there, James one of the brothers of Billy who recently came back from war brought the phone over, and stood there watching me, James is handsome but not as handsome as him not by a long shot, unfortunately, he has been on my case for 2 years now since he came back and set eyes on me.
I placed the phone on my ears and after listening for a bit dropped the call but I was already walking towards the door in a panic, James ran after me worried "Li what is the matter?, " please James tell Billy I have to go to Gem's school "he stands in my way blocking my small frame from moving, I did not tell you guys that James is 6ft 11inch with serious bulk and built, he has huge arms, and an average face with a mustache. "Li what is wrong with Gemma? " I twisted trying to get out of there but he doesn't budge, realizing that I won't move without talking to him " James get the hell out of my way, I don't know what is wrong, she and another kid are in the hospital, they are hurt, it's bad James, very bad.." he walks off throwing "wait here" at me.
Grid hospital
James parked the SUV in the parking lot and I jumped out of the car trying to get to my child, he comes out too and walks quickly to catch up with me as I entered the reception, to find the headteacher and the parents of Joshua the other kid involved. On seeing me margarita stood up and charged me, before I could get what was happening she held my collar, " you witch, what the hell is the demon you called a child? Where the heck did you find that animal? it almost killed my son." I was in a daze but James picked her off of me and guarded me with his body till we got to the headteacher who was looking at me funny.
"What happened Sarah?" She stares at me for a while and then speaks up saying " one minute Gemini was playing with Joshua, I turned away for a second, and before I turned back I heard something being thrown out of the window, and the kids screaming, I ran to the window and looked down to see Joshua on the pavement bleeding from everywhere, and Gemini had a strange light in her eyes, I walked up to her to spank her and I could not move her from where she stood, like Lis, I could not move your three-year-old daughter" she finishes with a sigh, and I looked to find James' mouth hanging open. I started laughing and crying, " you mean to tell me that my daughter threw a 4year old through the window and resisted punishment?" Are you ok? I asked her.
While she was trying to answer I saw Doc Beneth come out looking sad, she gestures to me to follow her to the ward and there I see josh in a coma, with tubes and bandages everywhere, I am shocked, no there has to be an explanation, she takes me to her office and on entering I see My Gem sitting quietly on the couch playing.
Do you believe them, or what are your thoughts?
Lisa felt so drained from the incident that happened the day before, sitting in the house she shares with Billy jean, she tries to make sense of what the teacher said: "how can a four-year-old throw someone out the window?, talk more of my little Gem?" Lost in thought she does not notice Gemini creep out of her room upstairs and walk to the garden outside.
She stands up and walks to the portrait of her and Gemini at the hospital after escaping from Oakland, Gemini is just two days old in the picture, with the unusual silver-colored hair, and piercing silver brown eyes, she indeed looked different physically, setting it down she sits back down " oh yes he did have silver hair and an unusual eye color, could it be that he was not human? " gasping she remembers seeing his neatly trimmed finger extend out like a claw and his teeth looked different too, instead of fear and regret she felt proud and hopeful, "I better check online and see what I can find".
Lisa runs upstairs to her room, opens the door, and picks up her laptop from her desk, for a moment she stays frozen " well dang it what do I type?, what kind of human supernatural exist? " she shrugs in excitement and types on the laptop, types of the human supernatural that still exist, and a lot of answers came out, she ruled out vampires, cos I mean ain't they supposed to be bloodsuckers, after searching for a while she saw a werewolf entry and clicked on it, twenty minutes later she has concluded that her guy was one of those were things, but if he means Gemini is one too, which also means she is in trouble of getting found out.
It's been two days since Lisa found out she might have slept with a werewolf and given birth to a half-werewolf half-human, and she has been thinking of how to find the man responsible for Gemini, "but seriously how do you search for a werewolf ?" Amidst all that she confided in Billy Jean about 10 minutes ago and her mouth is still hanging open without her saying a word, when she has made up her mind to get back to her customers, Billy Jean spoke" babe you are telling me you might have slept with a werewolf-like Gemini has a dad who is a werewolf?" I just turned back and smiled " I know right, it sounds out of this world right?" They both smile like a goat head in the fire, Billy suddenly stops laughing " I can't believe my in law is a werewolf, well fuck girl you choose right man girl, I can't wait to meet him, please tell me you have found him " Lisa just shakes her head, " How? Oh I see, I can just make an announcement and say oh hi guys I think the guy I had random sex within my house without knowing his name is a werewolf and we have a daughter together whom I think is a werewolf also, can you please help me find him, I don't know his name but he has orange silver eyes, and silver hair?" Billy grimaces and gives Lisa an apologetic smile, walking to Lisa she gives her a bear hug, they stay that way for a bit and then only disengages when someone clears their throat ..they quickly disengage and turn to the smiling face of doctor Bennett, she waves at Billy Jean and then gestures to Lisa take her order, considering they were in lunch hour rush, Lisa quickly takes her order, but she is still standing there looking like she wants to say something, " ok spill it what do you have on your mind? " doctor Bennett shuffles awkwardly, " do you happen to have time to come see me after work? Do I need to speak to you urgently" " sure I will be off by say 6 pm? , will that be fine by you?" And she nods and smiles, then she briskly walks away leaving Lisa wondering what that was about, sure enough, she turned to find Billy also looking at her with a raised brow, she shrugs and gets back to work, at least today is Saturday and she does not have to go pick up Gem from school she and Libby Billy jeans' were with James at home.
Before long it was 6 pm and she was done for the day and anticipating what doctor Bennett wanted to talk to her about, she walked out of crusty B after saying bye to Billy and walked to her van, jiggling her key and humming a western tone, she gets in and starts the engine and reverses out of the parking lot, she faces west of Brooksville where the Grid hospital is, about 30minutes later she arrives and pack out front, coming out of the car she walks down to the hospital entrance.
