Is This Love?

Chapter 1- Death

What is the meaning of love? Love for your own blood. Love for those you choose to be with. If its love for a brother or sister. Love for a lover… What is Love? I looked my entire life for the love you read about in those sappy romance novels. But, is it even real? Or is it something we, as human beings, dreamed up to help us get over a relationship, and find love again? This is my story of how I found what I was looking for. You see, I have my brilliant twin sister to thank. Even if it was because of her horrible death that brought me here. You see; my sister, Margaret Lee Wilson, was a Thunderbird. She had been in an accident that resulted in her death. Let me start form the beginning.
The Thunderbirds had been called to a rescue over in Bakersfield, California. There had been a horrible earthquake. The mission had been exhausting to them. People everywhere needed help. It happened on the last task they were to do, before heading back to Tracy Island. A family had been trapped on the side of a opining in the earth, when their house had been split in half when the quake had happened. The Family was frantic because their youngest daughter had fallen and been trapped about 50 feet down inside, on a small cliff of rock. Margaret (Megs as she preferred) had scaled down to help the little girl. Virgil had sat at the top, to pull them up when she gave the signal.

"Hey sweetheart" Megs said to the trembling little girl.

"Don't worry we'll get you out of here soon" she said as she attached a harness around the tiny body.

"How old are you April?" She had been told Aprils name before she had come down.

"Four" April replied.

"Wow, you're almost old enough for school huh! Well don't worry we'll get you out of here and to your family in a jiffy!" Megs said with a soft smile.

This had made April calm down a bit. After strapping Aprils harness to the rope, she called to Virgil.

"All is well down here hun, how about a lift?"

"Comin' right up darling!" Virgil replied chuckling at the pet names she seemed to attach to each of the Tracy boys.
As they had neared the top, there was a jerk in the rope and Virgil called down to Megs, who he could see dangling with the little girl.

"WHAT WAS THAT?" he yelled.

"OH NO, VIRGIL HURRY!" She yelled back.

Scott, who had been standing close, trying to calm the hysterical mother, came running over at the sound of panic in her, normally calm and teasing voice. As the two Tracy's began to put up faster, the rope groaned in protest. They were almost to the top, and Megs gave April a boost more up to Scott while Virgil held on to the rope, still trying to pull them up. Scott had just gotten a hold of the little girls arms, when there was a loud 'SNAP' and Megs jerked so bad she almost pulled Virgil down with her. That's when the two boys realized that Megs's Harness was breaking. With a last attempted, Virgil threw himself forward to grab her arm but she was already gone. They watched in horror and she was thrown back down the cliff. She came to a halt on a small cliff, about 10 feet down from where April had been.

"OH MY GOD!" Virgil and Scott screamed together.

By now the rest of the Thunderbirds were listening to the conversation, and demanding to know what had happened.

"IR Base to rescue team two, what has happened?" Jeff's voice sounded tense over their com link.

"She's Fallen, I repeat, Margaret has fallen back into the hole!" Scott yelled into his com link.

"WHAT!" came two replies. One from Jeff, the other from Gordon who was on the other side of town helping with a fire.
By now Virgil had himself strapped in to a new harness and was being lowered by Scott into the hole. When he came to rest next to her, Virgil could see just how bad she looked. Megs had cuts all over her face and her flight suite was ripped open, revealing nasty cuts and bruises. She seemed to be bleeding a lot for a wound in her head. Virgil had been reporting his analysis back to everyone, while he was checking her over. When he paused in his analysis, Jeff asked what was wrong.

"Virgil, what is it… why did you stop?"

"It's her neck dad… It's broken." Virgil said with a sob.

Everything had gone quite over the com links. Then Virgil reaped himself, and got an answer form John in TB 5, "Is she gone Verg?" He said softly at the need to know his fiancés condition.

"Yes son. Is she still breathing? Does she have a pulse?" Jeff asked quietly.

"No… I'm so sorry John… I couldn't catch her! It's my fault." Virgil said crying freely.

"No it's not kid, you did your best." Scott replied for his blond brother.

"Get her out of there and see what you can do" Jeff said sadly.

"I want you all home now." Jeff said.

"FAB" came only two replies

"OK Boys?" Jeff said more loudly

"Yeah dad" the rest replied.

I had seen all of this. That news reporter had taped the entire thing. My mom and Step dad had just sighed. "What a tragedy" was all my mom could say. You see, Megs had told me all about her life and what she did. But no one else knew. Shelley, my mom didn't realize she had just watched the distant daughter die. They saw me looking like I was about to break down, and asked what it was. I just told them I had a bad feeling. I had promised to take her secrete about what she did to the grave, as she had just done for me and all of mine. It didn't take long for Jeff to get a hold of us. He had said she was in a climbing accident. I knew the truth though. He offered for us all to come to Tracy Island and have the funeral there. Mom freaked out at this.

"No she's coming home, where I can keep her close." Shelley was yelling at Jeff as I walked into the Study to see what all the screaming was about.

"You don't understand Shelley. She has it in her will that she is to be laid to rest here, on Tracy Island." Came the strong voice of Jeff Tracy over the video phone.

That's when mom blew up. She started screaming at Jeff.
I decided it was time for me to interfere.

"MOM, WHAT THE HELL!" I yelled at her.
Everything went quite as had been every time I had entered a room since the accident.

"THIS MAN WON'T GIVE ME MY BABY! My mom yelled at me. That's it I had had enough.

"You don't know what you're talking about mom." I said calmly.

"She doesn't want to be here. We all hate this town. And you can not take her from there! I won't let you!" I yelled. "You can't take her from her paradise, you can't take her from them, and you lost her the day he chucked her out!" I said pointing at Steve our step dad.

"She's staying there and that final!" I said with so much authority that everyone backed off.

Everyone had been afraid of how I was reacting to her death. I was sad, and yes I had bawled my eyes out so much I felt like I needed to be put on fluids. But I seemed so calm till now. I knew she had died saving the life a little girl. That's all she ever wanted to do. Megs had told me she would give her life for any small child. Just to be sure they would get to live a full life. I knew she died doing what she loved and I was so proud of her. I just wish I could be half the women my twin had become. I stared my mom down and finally she nodded, and said,

"Well than Mr. Tracy, I believe we need a ride."
