"His body has been missing since i identified him... That was yesterday. How do you know Lillian didnt do it? Shes obsessed with Jay!" Anna exclaimed.
Diana pursed her lips. "We need to get Anna here.... I have something to show you both..." She placed her hand on Nina's shoulder. "Please."

"His body has been missing since i identified him... That was yesterday. How do you know Lillian didnt do it? Shes obsessed with Jay!"
"Because Aunt Diana says that Lillian is not our biggest concern right now. I think she knows who swiped James!"
"We need to get Anna here.... I have something to show you both... Please."
Nina nodded as she finally decided to work with this woman. For now. "Anna, we need to meet somewhere. Aunt Diana says that we need to see something. I wonder if she'll know what happened to James."

"Aunt Diana..!?" Anna seemed almost happy to hear Nina mention their Aunt. "What is she doing there..?" She asked. "What does she know about Jay?!"
Diana sighed. "She needs to come here. What I have to show you both is here..." She sighed. "Your mother left Lillian her final will, all except one piece. The one thing Lillian didn't know about. It was here, right under her nose, apparently..." She looked around. "Anna needs to come here, alone...." She said. "It was only intended for you, your sister, and your brother..." She said.
Diana was calm. She looked so similar to Johanna, yet unlike her sister, she was a little kinder. Not as forceful.
"I can only show you and Anna alone."

Nina took note that this aunt was a good person, judging by Anna's reaction, so she decided to trust her. Besides, she didn't seem to be pretty stand-offish like Lillian.
"What does she know about Jay?!"
Nina shrugged. "Just a guess. Well, anyway, she says that you need to be here. It's something she only wants us to see... Mother's final will. You need to come alone..."

"I can't leave this hospital alone, Nina..." She said. "I'll need someone to come with me."
Diana frowned, she could hear Anna over the phone.

"Okay, fine. I'll come get you, then. I'll be the person who has to come with you."
Of course with Anna passing out every so often, it wouldn't be a good idea to let her go alone, unless Nina goes to get her.

Nina sighed. "Aunt Diana said that she wanted you to come alone."
When her aunt mentioned that she and Anna didn't get along, Nina crossed her arms. "We are two different people. Of course we don't get it."
"You deserve a family, one that won't try to end your life. Hopefully what I show you will give you that..."
"I hope, so too." Nina was actually sincere this time.

Upon arrival, Diana escorted the sisters. Anna started tearing up when they entered the Atrium. She looked at the blood stained ground where her brother had died... "Is it really here, Aunt Diana..?" She asked. Diana nodded, walking to the doorway Lillian had escaped from earlier. Diana opened it, "Follow me.." She said. The hallway was eerily cold. One of the doors was open, a blood trail leading out of it. "This is where Lillian must have escaped..." Diana said quietly. She shut the door, and continued walking to the door at the end of the hall. She wiped dust off of the old dialpad, and punched in four numbers.
"Your mother explained to me the final tests she delivered to the three of you before she executed it. When she came to Japan, she told me to return to my life, and I did... I suspect Johanna never planned to leave Japan." She said. "She put Lillian up to the task of making sure the experiments were disposed of.." She turned to Nina and Anna, "As she realized she never needed them... The three of you were always capable of taking care of yourselves, but she was blind to her own greed to see that... It was only in the end, that my sister realized how strong and resilient the three of you really are." She finally entered the room, which was dark. Stairs led down to what seemed to be a basement."
"So our mother's tests were... to make her feel better as a parent..?" Anna asked, sarcastically. "She did kill our father..." Diana stopped Anna, midway down the stairs. "Your mother loved your father, in her own way. She did not kill him." Anna crossed her arms. "Who did, then..?"
"Your sister, Lena Williams, killed your father. Your know her as Lillian Crawford." Diana told Anna.
Anna's eyes widened. "What...?" Diana sighed. "Your father had an affair with a woman in the Ukraine... He abandoned the woman, because at the time your mother was pregnant with you. You are the reason that your parent's stayed together..." She said. Anna looked at Nina. "So she wanted to kill us..?"
Diana looked down. "I don't know what Lena wanted with you both, to kill you, to be a family... I don't think she knew what she wanted. Perhaps you may find empathy in that, Anna..." Anna frowned. Diana then continued walking down the stairs.
"The tests were to prove that you could survive the horrors of this world, but your mother's final gift to you, was the failsafe... If you couldn't." She said. They were finally at the bottom of the stairs, this room was even colder than the hallway. Diana turned on the lights. Anna found herself speechless to see a cryogenic chamber in the center of the room, with a person inside. There was scientist in another room, probably analyzing things.
"I think you know who is inside..." Diana said, stepping away. Anna walked closer to the chamber, and placed her fingertips. The man had an oxygen mask on, his wounds seemed barely healed... Anna started crying.
"Jay...?"

"I know you said that she is not our concern, but should we go after her?" Nina asked, still wanting to end that woman's life.
"Your mother explained to me the final tests she delivered to the three of you before she executed it. When she came to Japan, she told me to return to my life, and I did... I suspect Johanna never planned to leave Japan. She put Lillian up to the task of making sure the experiments were disposed of.."
"I see. So she didn't want Steve or Daniel alive ever. Probably to cover up her failures."
"As she realized she never needed them... The three of you were always capable of taking care of yourselves, but she was blind to her own greed to see that... It was only in the end, that my sister realized how strong and resilient the three of you really are."
"Your father had an affair with a woman in the Ukraine... He abandoned the woman, because at the time your mother was pregnant with you. You are the reason that your parent's stayed together..."
"So she wasn't kidding." Nina added. As if Lillian would make up such a thing to avoid getting killed.
"I don't know what Lena wanted with you both, to kill you, to be a family... I don't think she knew what she wanted. Perhaps you may find empathy in that, Anna..."
"She just wanted pity. Nothing but our pity. Too dense to realize that we're not going to pity her."
When Nina followed her mother down into the lab. She saw a familiar figure in this cryo-chamber. She jumped a little startled.
"BUT HE DIED! What kind of joke is this! I really don't have time for this! You have three seconds to explain yourself!"

Diana looked at Nina, stabding between the sisters. "He's alive. He was on the cusp of death. But we revived and sustained him in this chamber. His mind was without oxygen for some time so he will be in hete for some time... Your mother hired the man you see in the booth to maintain the chamber." She said.
Anna turned to her Aunt. "I dont understand... He's... Alive..."
Diana nodded. "Yes."
Anna looked at Nina, and hugged her, crying. "He's not gone....!!!!!" Diana smiled. "He will need help when he does wake up. It will taoe a lot of time for him to recover, even when he does energe from the chamber."
She placed her hands on both of her niece's shoulders. "This is a second chance for the three of you." She looked at Nina. "Don't waste it."

"She's so twisted." That was all the words that Nina could muster.
When Anna hugged her, instead of pushing her away, or kicking her to the ground, or dislocating her arm, she simply just let her sister hug her and revel in the fact that James didn't die.
"He will need help when he does wake up. It will take a lot of time for him to recover, even when he does emerge from the chamber."
"Though, he might have complications, like Anna's narcolepsy, and my amnesia, right?"
"This is a second chance for the three of you. Don't waste it."
Nina didn't really say anything, though she wasn't sure exactly what to do now. Killing is all she's known. What about family?

"It's hard to say, right now..." Diana said. "He could develop a side effect, or he could be completely fine." She sighed. "It was your mother's final request. I personally believe nature should takr its course, but... You know how much your mother loved to play god." Diana paused. "Im surprised she didnt use it on herself..."
Anna smiled at Nina. "Im so happy...! I cant wait to share this news with Marcella!"
"Marcella...?" Diana asked. Anna nodded. "Chris' girlfriend. She's pregnant with his child."
Diana looked at Chris' body in the chamber....
-
Two months ago.
"Johanna... Surely this isnt the case." Diana was home, her hands were dirty from crafting a biwl from clay. She grabbed a rag from the cabinet and wiped her hands. She was holding the phone between her ear and shoulder.
"Maybe it's a mistake..." She said. Her sister didnt seem too convinced of that.
"I never make mistakes, Diana. Not when it comes to someone sneaking into my family like a snake."
Diana sighed. "I dont think you're right.... I think you're being a jealous mother... Be happy for Christopher. You know how lonely he's been since Natalia died." she then threw the rag on the counter and held the phone to her ear with her hand.
"I will not let a wolf in my sheep's den...." Johanna said.
"Who is this girl anyways...?" Diana asked.
"Marcella Torres..." Johanna said. Diana gave a look of confusion. "Torres.... Where have I heard that before....?"
"Why that was Natalia's last name...."
-
Diana shook her head. "No one else can know. This was just for the three of you."
Anna looked at her aunt, confused. "But Marcella is part of the family... She's carrying a Williams...!" Diana stood firm on the subject. "Only the three of you can know of this place..."

"It's hard to say, right now... He could develop a side effect, or he could be completely fine."
"Only time will tell."
"It was your mother's final request. I personally believe nature should take its course, but... You know how much your mother loved to play god. I'm surprised she didnt use it on herself..."
"Thank God. Didn't need her crazy-ass ruin our lives more."
Nina heard the conversation happen with Anna and Diana. Marcella needed to know. She had to know. Otherwise it just wouldn't be right to keep the whole thing a secret. But then again.
"Yes. If we keep it between us, we have a better shot at killing Lillian. If Lillian believes that James is dead, then she's going to go easy on us and let me kill her. Then we can finally put this mess behind us."

Diana shook her head. "They never learn...". She thought to herself. She turned to Nina. "She knows she's no match for you, Nina..." She smiled. "That's why I don't think she'll be a problem for you..." Diana looked at Anna, who had her hands on the glass. She was looking at her brother's face. She then frowned. "His daughter is still trying to kill Steve and Daniel..."
Diana sighed. "You two have your work cut out... I wish I knew what to do..." Anna looked at her aunt. "Mother didn't tell you everything..?"
Diana shook her head. "I didn't want to know everything... Although now that seems foolhardy..." Anna looked at Nina. "Do you know how we can help her...? Aside from killing her?"
