While Melissa was experimenting with Erika, knowing that she was something not strange but paranormal, her mom continued with her business. Melissa's father had died in a work accident 10 months before. Stacked with bills in red ink she had to move fast. She had to America when Melissa was four, her husband worked for DHL and helped delivery shitty parcels that people brought online, as an efficiency expert.
He put GPS trackers on the trucks, used google maps to increase productivity. The 'accident' was likely murder, the driver had run over her husband, the police had little proof. Mila knew what a bastard her husband was and rumors were his grandfather was a worker in a concentration camp. It wouldn't surprise Mila his nickname was 'Adolf' behind his back. Her daughter was distant as Mila struggled to learn German and then English when they moved to America.
Moving to America was her husband's lifelong dream. However it wasn't permanent, he wanted to go back home. His death, she had slept with the driver responsible for his death sealing an unspoken promise to kill him, had left her flushed with funds but she needed US citizenship. Trump was kicking immigrants out, she needed a American man to make her his woman and a baby.
Within two weeks of his funeral Mila had found a trouble ex-navy SEAL who wanted a woman. Now she was pregnant with baby No.2. Melissa wanted badly to fuck off Chris, he was an asshole strict and having flashbacks. She had grown to hate the SEAL, her mother and her unborn half-sister. She had US citizenship and plenty of money from her father's employer, if her mom got deported she would be happy.
That baby was the one thing tying her mother to this country, especially when they found out her maternal grandfather worked for the SVR, Russia's CIA. As she considered reporting her mother she saw a light coming from something reflecting the light of coming through the window, despite being in the shadow of her bag, she decided to check what it was. She could see that it was some kind potion with a nozzle at the end for spraying. She picked it up and looked at it carefully. It was filled with a milky-white substance which was giving off a relaxing fragrance.
She picked up the bottle, which was pleasantly warm, and thought "take my unborn sister away from my mom". The milky substance turned pinkish and she red hot leaving Melissa to dump it on the bedside table of her mom's dresser.
