walks_two_paths: (Deep Thoughts)
The last couple of days had been of pretty much constant activity.

Tuesday had been a run-in with the wall (twice) courtesy of Umbridge, a discussion with Johnny that had changed quite a few things, and Eve coming by to help her with the easing of the pain in her shoulder and head from the earlier intimate meeting with said wall.

Wednesday had been more talking with Johnny, her last Spying workshop, and spending most of the night at Sean's place, filling him in on way too many things -- that he hadn't really been all that pleased about. They had ended up agreeing that there was no way that they could ever tell Benecio what Umbridge had done to her both times because he would raze the school... and therefore construction would have to begin again.

Thursday had been her last Firearms workshop, and getting reassurance from John Winchester that Zoe was indeed coming back to her job and the school. She was pretty sure that Mr. Winchester had no idea how relieved she was to hear that. After that, she had made cookies with River for the kick-off of cheer camp and the giving of spirit cookies. Then she had headed back to the gym for the daily activities of cheer camp -- including an awesome demonstration of kicks from Mr. Deadpool. Those would be kicks that she would be spending some time practicing. Like she had told John, they could come in handy both in cheering and in defending herself. Last night had been capped off with the cheerleader pizza party. She had come back to the room and collapsed into bed.

Today had started with her last workshop with Vala -- and boy was she going to miss having her as a teacher. She had been prevented by Sam from going to hurt the crazy lady, too. So, instead, she went to make cookies with Claire, and then headed on to the second day of cheer camp -- where she learned knife-throwing techniques from the most awesome coach ever..

Now, she was sitting cross-legged on her bed with her phone in her lap. She really needed to talk to Chris about... well, about everything. About Johnny, Sean... Eve... the Gemini Project... Eve...

She just wasn't sure how she was going to tell him everything without losing her friend forever. She knew that it was a possibility that he would quite likely never speak to her again -- if only because of the stuff with Johnny.

Because, he was her friend before anything else. The idea of that she was about to lose that friend... hurt.

However, unless it was an absolute neccessity, she had never lied to someone she cared about in her life -- and she wasn't about to start now.

Chris was too good of a person and too important for her to lie to him.

Levines didn't back down and hide... but right now? She was really wanting to.






Chris knocked on Savannah's door, having received her phone call and wondering what she wanted to talk about. He figured she was probably still upset with him over the way he had acted when they went to Sean's the previous week.


Savannah swallowed and closed her eyes for a long moment. That was pretty fast. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes. "Come in."


"Hey," Chris said. "What's up?"


“We… we uhm need to talk… about a lot of things and I know that…” She let out a breath. “Johnny and I…” She should have called Eve and asked for her advice. “Exclusive…” She bit her lip. “I told you that if anything changed you would hear it from me.” She had her hands folded in her lap. She looked at him and there were tears in her eyes. “I know you will probably never talk to me again, and I’m sorry I hurt you. I’m sorry about all of this. But… before you walk out that door and never speak to me again, there are some things you should know.”


Sucking in a breath, Chris nodded. He couldn't say he was completely surprised by that, but that didn't make it sting any less. He guessed it was really true what he'd read, that the girls always picked the assholes and the nice guys finished last. "Okay, what else do you want to tell me?" he asked


She heard that breath and felt even worse about hurting him.


"For starters, Sean didn't put the spell on me that caused my magic to backfire on me. Umbridge did." She looked at him. "He was innocent of that."


"I guess I owe him an apology then," Chris said.


Savannah nodded. "At the very least," she said dryly. "Had my guardians found out that he was suspected of doing anything even slightly gray towards me, Benecio would have done some very bad things to him. Bad things that make Umbridge look like an angel in comparison."

"Well, I just wanted you to be safe," Chris said. "Is there more?"

Savannah nodded. "There is... a lot more. And nobody else really knows a lot of this, Chris... but I wanted you to know." She took a deep breath. "First of all... Eve. Eve's not my cousin, Chris. She's my mother." She watched Chris' face and before he could say anything, she dove right back in. "Eve was murdered when she was trying to protect me. See, these people called the Gemini Project were kidnapping specimens..." Even now that term still stung. "...of any supernatural creature they could find. They planned to study them... hunt them if the caused too much trouble. Hunt them... like animals. They were interested in Mom because she's half demon and a dark witch. They... they broke into our house and grabbed us. I wasn't even supposed to be there, but I had asked to stay home from school and spend the day with mom. If I hadn't been home that day, Mom would still be alive." She bit her lip as she watched his expressions change. "When they found out I was half-witch and half-sorceror, they wanted to lock me up and run experiments on me. Mom killed several of their best guards when we got to the compound because they were trying to take me away. They... they killed her, Chris."

She looked at Chris. "It's why when Summer made the comment about people like me, that I lost my temper. None of us were real people to Gemini Project. We were lab rats and prey. While I was a captive of Gemini Project, two new captives were brought in, Ruth and Elena. Ruth was killed and for the rest of the time I was there, we all believed that I had done it accidentally." She shook her head. "No... not like Kristof." She swallowed. "Thee was someone there that I thought was my friend. I was twelve and she was there. Her name was Leah. She killed Ruth, but lay the blame at my feet... then told me later that no one but her would understand me and only she was my real friend."

"Leah is also the one who later caused the death of my father when she showed me what I thought was Paige's dead body being disposed of. Paige is my guardian. Ruth was her mother and she took me in after the Pack, she and Adam destroyed Gemini Project." She took a deep breath. She knew if she didn't just plunge in with this, she may never have the courage to tell him everything.

"Leah is supposedly dead. I know Kristof is... I'm the one that ended up killing him, after all. Eve... I watched Eve be murdered in front of me. The first day I arrived in Fandom and went to that damn cabin... that was the first time the two of us had seen each other in three years. The Fates sent her here for something they needed her for and she thinks they sent her back to watch over me."

She ran a shaking hand through her hair. "I know it sounds completely insane, Chris, but I swear to you, it's the truth. She's my mom. Eve is my mom."

It was a lot of information to take in and Chris nodded blankly as he tried to process it all.

"I believe you," he finally said. "I told you about my mom and my aunts, right? How they died when Wyatt and I were young but when we got here there were versions of them from a different dimension here?"

Savannah nodded. "Yes, I remember that." She bit her lip. "But... Eve is from this same timeline... my same world. I... I wasn't sure if it was something you could believe. Having someone tell you that her mom has been dead for three years and is suddenly not only alive again... but two years older than her."

Prue immediately jumped to Chris's mind, but he knew she wanted the truth about her kept quiet so he didn't say anything. "You should have realized by now that anything is believable around here."

"Just because people believe a lot doesn't mean they believe everything, Chris."
