Before

I don't own Arrow!

Holly smiled and waved at the boat carrying her father and brother overseas to China. She gave her mother a sideways hug and they walked back to the company together. They entered and headed up to the CEO office.

"So your father asked you to oversee the company during his little business trip?" Moria Queen asked her daughter.

Holly Queen was a beautiful girl. She had long blonde hair, like spun gold, that fell to her waist. Her eyes were a bright sky blue and her lips a pale rose.

"Yeah, sorry mom. I know he usually asks you to do this kinda stuff."

"No, no it's quite alright dear." Moria told her "Your father wants to prepare you to take over the company. I understand. But if you need any help I'm here for you."

"I know mom. Dinner tonight? All three of us? You, me, and Thea?"

"Of course." And Moria left.

"No." That was the first thing out of Holly Queen's mouth. Her family couldn't be dead. Her twin and her father couldn't be gone.

"I'm sorry Miss Queen." The officer told her.

"No!" And she let out a scream so loud it could break glass. She fell to the floor as her scream summoned her mother and younger sister.

Thea, only 13, couldn't understand why her big sister was so upset. She couldn't understand that her father and brother weren't coming back. She couldn't understand why, less than two months later, her sister packed up all her clothes and left. It happened like this.

"Holly?" Young Thea asked, looking down the staircase at her sister, standing across the room, at the door, from their mother "Holly? what's going on?" She noticed the suitcase in her sister's hand " Are you going somewhere?"

"Thea," Holly beckoned her baby sister towards her "yes, I'm leaving."

"No!" Thea hugged her sister tightly "You can't leave! Please!" She begged.

"I have to." Holly knelt down and looked deep into her sister's eyes "I'm just leaving for a little while. I'll be back before you know it. I promise."

But she wasn't. A few months turned into a year, then two, then four. After five years of almost no contact with Holly, Oliver came home.

Oliver Queen walked through the doorway of the mansion only to find his mother married to his father's old friend, his little sister a party girl and an alcoholic/druggie, and his twin missing and unheard from for the last five years. Just like he was. So he looked for her. But after a year, after the undertaking, he gave up and ran back to the island he was trapped on.

A year later...

"What do you mean 'He's back'?"

"Exactly that. Oliver Queen is alive. Your brother is alive, he's been living in Starling City for the past year with your mother and your sister."

"And you didn't think to call me?" Holly Queen ran a hand through her hair, it was still long, falling past her waist, it was still blonde and beautiful.

"It's not like I knew how to get in touch with you until now."

"Okay, that's fair."

"Uh-huh. Well now that you know, what are you gonna do?"

"I don't have much choice do I?" Holly asked "I have to go back."

"No, there's always a choice, Holly. You have a life. Live it your way."

"And I chose to live it with my family. See you around man." And Holly Queen hung up her cell phone. She quickly booked a flight to Starling City.

Holly stepped off the plane. She had already done research on her brother and sister's doings since she'd last seen them. Oliver had opened a club, Verdant, which was now being run by Thea. Thea had some run ins with the law. Their mother was now in prison and on trial for her role in the Undertaking. This was a perfect cover for her to come back.

She walked into Verdant her hair curled and in a deep blue, short dress with lace sleeves and silver heels.

She strolled up to the bar and ordered a drink. Thea appeared with a boy about her same age. She noticed the blonde sitting at the bar, she looked so familiar but she couldn't figure out from where.

She went up to her "Excuse me, but, do I know you?"

"I'm not sure, what's your name kid?" Holly asked.

"I'm Thea, Thea Queen."

"Then yes, I'd say you do know me." Holly took a long drink.

"How? What's your name?" Thea questioned.

"Later." The blonde beauty stood up "Where's Oliver?"

"Why do you want to see my brother?" Thea asked, surprised.

"Let's just say we have some unfinished business." And out she walked.

When Holly got back to her hotel she pulled out her suit, it was a full body suit of dark blue. She had a diamond mask on with a wig of dark, chocolate colored locks. She pulled on her utility belt and grabbed her bow staff. It was time for her to meet the Starling City Vigilante. Or as he was now being called, The Arrow.

She stopped a few muggers, a couple would-be rapists, and one very drunk man with a gun. Finally she knew she'd gotten the vigilante's attention and she headed home for the night. The next morning she woke up and got dressed, then she headed to Iron Heights Prison.

"I'm here to see Moria Queen." She told the officer. She was checked and finally sat down at a table to see her mother for the first time in six years.

Moria walked up to the table, expecting to see Oliver or Thea or Jean, her lawyer. Instead she saw a young woman with long blonde hair and deep blue eyes.

"I'm sorry do I know you?" She asked.

"Wow. It only took you six years to forget me mom? I'm hurt." Holly teased.

"Holly?" Moria was astounded "Is it really you?"

"It's me mom, it's me." And the two blondes hugged each other.

Moria never wanted to let go, her eldest daughter had left after a heated fight between the two and hadn't been heard from since. Now she had all her children back. She asked the guards to call Thea and Oliver to come as quickly as they could. When they arrived both stopped short at the sight of their mother holding the hand of a girl Oliver's age and both crying.

"Hey, I remember you!" Thea exclaimed "You were at the club last night. You were looking for Ollie."

"You were looking for me?" Oliver asked.

"Can't a girl see her own twin?" The unknown girl asked.

Thea and Oliver gasped. Then Thea rushed forward to embrace her missing sister.

"Where have you been?" She cried, tears falling freely down her cheeks. "Why didn't you call us? We haven't heard from you in six years!"

"I've been everywhere. Russia, China, France. I'm so sorry I didn't call, I just had a hard time accepting that dad was gone, and I thought I lost Oliver too. It was to much. I was in a terrible place Thea. I couldn't be around you and risk you getting hurt by it." Holly explained, holding her little sister tightly.

"Holly," Oliver muttered and wrapped his sisters up in a massive hug "I've missed you so much."

Oliver has a twin story! Yay! I'm really excited for this story, and no I'm not planning on abandoning my other stories. I just wanted to do something new. I really hope you like it. I enjoy creating my own characters for stories. In this case Holly is named for a friend of mine who's been going through a tough time lately. I wanted to show her it can get better.
