Shit. Morgan froze at the doorway at the sound of Abby's voice. So close...stupid chair. She turned to completely face her sister. She could easily lie to her, say she was going to see that brick Damon but she wasn't sure she could get that sentence out without gagging. She really hated that guy and while Damon was the only man Mandy had ever slept with thus the only man Morgan had slept with he wasn't anything special. Even though she had nothing to compare him to she could just tell that he was awful. But she could easily make up another excuse, why couldn't Mandy just be going out...going to a club or whatever. Without Jack...yeah...not likely, but tonight it could work.
Morgan plastered a big smile on her face and opened her mouth to spout off her lie then her smile fell into a more bittersweet one as she closed her mouth. "I can't lie to you kiddo. It's time I'm completely honest with you," Morgan made her way to the edge of Abby's bed and sat down. "Now...this is gonna sound crazy and you probably aren't going to believe me, just promise not to freak out, we don't want to wake Jack." Once she was certain Abby understood she took a deep breath, "I'm not Mandy, not really. My name is Morgan...Mandy and I share a consciousness. All those blackouts she used to have, those were me coming out, protecting her and you. Just like she promised your mother before she died. Basically I'm an alter, your sister's alter. My job is to protect her physically and mentally and also to protect you."
