A Child Called Me Claiming I Am Her Aunt — What She Asked for Made Me Go Pale

One afternoon, a routine phone call changed everything, uncovering a family’s darkest secrets. Seeing the name of my estranged sister, Phoebe, after a decade was shocking. But nothing prepared me for the desperate voice of a little girl pleading for help.

It was a typical Thursday afternoon when my phone rang. My heart skipped a beat as I saw the name: Phoebe. We hadn’t spoken in nearly a decade, filled with unspoken words and unresolved issues. I accepted the call, my breath catching. Instead of Phoebe, a young girl appeared. “Are you Daina?” she whispered. “I’m Amani, Phoebe’s daughter.” My heart skipped a beat. Why had Phoebe kept her a secret? “Mom left her phone in the car. I only have a minute. Please, you have to come…” The screen went black.

I hurriedly packed a bag and drove to Pinebrook, where Phoebe and I visited as kids. I pulled into a small gas station to collect my thoughts. As I neared the address Amani mentioned, my anxiety grew. Finally, I saw the house. Amani opened the door, relief and fear in her eyes. “Mom doesn’t want us to meet. She says it’s for our safety,” Amani said.

Phoebe appeared, shocked. “You shouldn’t have come. It’s not safe,” she said. “Not safe? What’s going on?” I demanded. Phoebe sank into a chair, her face in her hands. “From our father,” she whispered. “After Mom died, he started drinking and became violent. I had to protect Amani.”

Tears streamed down my face. “We could have faced it together,” I said. “We’ll try to be a family again,” Phoebe replied, her eyes filled with pain and hope.

Amani smiled. “Does this mean we’re going to be a family?”

“Yes, Amani. We’re going to be a family.”
