Thea101: You think this is good? I don't know about anyone else, but you're the only one that I know who actually likes this, no one else reviewed. Thank you for the review anyways, and I'll see you in the new chapter of Marie. Have fun. ;)
Here's the next part. Please review because I'm sick and tired of watching this bloody tumbleweed blow and bounce by when I look in my reviews folder and there is none for this fic.
WARNING: LONG CHAPTER!!!
*********************************** Part 2 *******************************
"Twins?" Hannah whispers. "But how? Thierry, you look about nineteen, and Kali you're seventeen. Plus Thierry, you're thousands of years old. How can you two be twins?" She asks, disbelievingly.
"I haven't seen my twin since we were seventeen." Thierry replies, still softly, and still looking at me. "I'm sorry Kali. I'm so very sorry!" He chokes out. Tears brim his eyes. I step towards him, unsure of what to do. I stand in front of him and shyly wrap my arms around his waist, and I just cling to him, the tears brimming my own eyes as I bury my face into Thierry's chest. He always was taller than me. After a moment's hesitation, Thierry wraps his arms around my back and buries his face into my hair; he starts to cry, repeating over and over that he's sorry.
"I forgive you Thierry, it's not your fault, it's mine." I reply, pulling back and look up at him, and then wipe the tears from his eyes. "It's Okay, everything's fine now." I say trying to soothe him.
"What are you on about Kali?" Hannah demands. Thierry looks at Hannah, and then he starts to tell Hannah why he's sorry.

"Theorn? Come with me, I want to show you what I've found." Theora grabs a surprised and sleepy Theorn by the wrist, drags him off his leather pallet, out of the cave, and into the forest.
"Theora? What are we doing up so early, the sun has better sense to be up at this time? What do you want to show me?" Theorn asks his twin, tying to stifle a yawn. Theora expertly guides him through the thick foliage and pitch dark.
"I do not want to show you anything, I just said that so that nobody could hear me." Theora confesses, looking at the forest floor.
"Then what did you drag me here for?" He asks, looking at Theora suspiciously.
"I wanted to ask you something, but I didn't want Mother or Father to over hear." She replies, still looking at the ground.
"What is it?" Theorn asks, sitting on a nearby rock and pulls his sister onto his knee, where he wraps his arms around her protectively and buries his face into her hair.
"Teach me how to fight?" Theora asks turning around so that night dark eyes meets night dark eyes.
"Why? What is wrong?" Theorn asks, running his fingers through Theora's knee length white- blonde hair.
"Nothing. I just do not want to hide behind you for the rest of my life." Theora answers, playing with the necklace, with an oval pendant made out of stone, around Theorn's neck, the one the Theora made for him two years ago. Then cuddles into Theorn's protective embrace.
"Very well then, I will teach you." Theorn agrees to his twin's request, holding Theora tighter.

)*(LATER ON THAT NIGHT.)*(
A very angry Theorn walks around the lake, and comes across Theora.
"Theorn, what is wrong?" She asks, looking concerned about her brother.
"Nothing! Leave me alone Theora!" Theorn replies nastily, pushing past an astonished Theora.
"Have I done something to upset you?" She asks looking hurt.
"Yes! You've been latching onto me for the past seventeen years, and I am tired of it! You know something Theora? I hate you. I hate being a twin. I wish you were never born!" Theorn snaps between clenched teeth, then marches away, leaving a teary eyed Theora staring at her twin's retreating back.

)*(BACK TO THE PRESENT)*(
"Theora went missing after that, we searched everywhere for her, but no one could find her. I went looking for her in our secret place in the forest, hoping that she'd be there, but to no avail. I was feeling guilty for what I said to her. I kept getting this bad feeling that something bad had happened to her. I don't know what came over me that night." Thierry tells Hannah, the tears flowing free from his eyes. Hannah sits next to Thierry on the leather couch in his office, with me on the other side of him. He takes a deep shaky breath and continues.
"I was the one who found Theora. She was lying face down in the lake. I swam over to her, the bad feeling getting worse. Whenever I turned her over, she was turning blue. Her lifeless dark eyes were staring up accusingly at me, her lips were purple, her wrists were slit and tied in front of her, and her ankles were also tied together. I couldn't breathe when I found her.
"I carried her out of the water and when I got to the edge of the lake, I broke down, holding my twin close to me and screamed and cried. I killed her by what I said to her. She committed suicide because of me." Thierry tells us, looking as though he's watching the scene on the floor. "When they buried her, our older brother Conlan and a few other men, including our father, had to hold me back from jumping into the grave after her." Thierry finishes, tremors taking over his body.
"I forgive you Thierry. It was a selfish thing that I did. I shouldn't have done something as stupid as that." I say to him, wrapping my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me, mumbling words meant to soothe.
"I searched and searched to see if you'd come back to me like Hannah did, but I never found you." He sobs out, cuddling into me.
"I found you first." I reply jokingly, comforting him, at this statement, he laughs.
"Yeah, I guess you did." He replies, wiping the tears from his eyes in a way that meant that he was embarrassed at crying in front of other people.
"Speaking of, how did you find me?" He adds, looking at me. He reaches out and puts a lock of my hair, which has fallen into my eyes, behind my ear.
"Well, I don't remember having any past lives, apart from the one where we were, and I guess still are, twins." I answer Thierry's question, then I continue. "For as long as I can remember, in this life, I've always been different, I've got all of my original Powers, the one's that I had in my last life. I've been able to make things float, cast spells, and so on and so forth. But none of my family has been able to do any of that. I'm the only witch in my family. Ever since I was little, I used to have dreams about you Thierry, I even drew pictures of you." At this, I go into my suitcase and hand Thierry a stack of papers with his portrait on them.
"Up until a few weeks ago, I didn't know that you were real, I thought that maybe my mind had made you up. My parents never really loved me, because of what I am. They always hit me, so I thought that I just made you up so that at least somebody loved me. Little did I know that you are real? Then I had I dream about you, as usual, but unlike any other, you sat down and explained everything to me."

)*(A FEW WEEKS AGO)*(
The place I come to is a desert. I've walked on this desert path every night for about fourteen years now. When I look down at myself, I'm wearing a brief leather loincloth around my waist and around my chest. I walk for about five minutes and then I come across a familiar oasis. There's a very large pool surrounded by palm trees in the middle of the oasis. Around one side of the pool is a log; sitting on the log is a young man, maybe nineteen or twenty. He's almost completely naked apart from the loincloth around his waist. He has white- blonde hair and dark eyes, exactly like my own. He looks up and smiles at me as I approach him.
"Hello Theora." He says, patting the log, beckoning me to sit down beside him.
"Hi Theorn." I reply, sitting down next to him, putting my arm through his. I do this without feeling scared because I know that he won't hurt me. I've known this dream young man ever since I was about three years old.
"Theora? I need you to listen to me very carefully, and do exactly what I say. Do you understand?" The young man – Theorn – tells me, being more serious than usual.
"Yes of course. What's wrong Theorn?" I ask, feeling a little uneasy.
"What I have to tell you is of extreme importance. You have to find me. I mean, go to Las Vegas, go to a large white mansion, with black flowers carved into the windows, and ask for Thierry Descouedres. That's my name now. You have to help me find the fourth Wild Power." Theorn explains, being a little vague.
"Wild Power? What's a Wild Power?" I ask him, befuddled.
"There are four Wild Powers, they have been chosen to either help or destroy the world. The vampires want to rule the world again, they say that the humans' time is up, the world will end in blood and darkness if the fourth Wild Power isn't found." Theorn tries to be a little more helpful with the explanation.
"An organisation called Circle Daybreak, that I'm the leader of, has three of them, but even with only three, the world's still in danger. There's going to be a battle at the turn of the Millennium, the Night World want to destroy the entire human race, and they'll enslave those who survive the battle. You must help me stop this by finding the fourth." He continues.
"There are prophecies that have been found about the up coming battle and of the Wild Powers, these are the prophecies." He adds and he quotes:
"In blue fire, the final darkness is banished.
In blood the final price is paid.
Four to stand between the light and the shadow,
Four of blue fire, power in their blood.
Born in the year of the blind Maiden's vision;
Four less one, and darkness triumphs."
Theorn takes a deep breath and then continues. "There is also another prophecy explaining about the Wild Powers." At this he quotes a third prophecy:
"One from the land of kings long forgotten;
One from the Hearth, which still holds the spark;
One from the Day World, where two eyes are watching;
One from the twilight, to be one with the dark."
"The three Wild Powers that Daybreak already have are the first three lines in the prophecy. Their names are: Prince Delos Redfern, a Lamia vampire, Iliana Dominick- Harman, the Witch Child, and a half human half vampire called Jez Redfern. Daybreak only needs the "One from the twilight to be one with the dark." But no one knows who or where he or she is, your job is to help me find that person, and fast. I'll keep appearing in your dreams to keep you informed of everything that is going on." Theorn continues.
"Theora. You're a witch, just like you were in your previous life; we were twins, that is why we look the same. Your name back then was Theora, that's why I call you that. I don't know what your name is now. Funny isn't it? I know about everything else, but I don't even know what my twin's real name is. I only know it as Theora." He laughs, looking at me.
"My name in this life is Kali McFarlane." I answer him quietly, still taking in everything he told me.
"Kali? That's a lovely name, it suits you." He replies smiling. "Well, my little blonde pixie, time to wake up, but before you do, get everything sorted out, then go to Las Vegas, tell me, as in Thierry Descouedres all about everything that I've just told you. I won't know about these dreams or the drawings of me, show me them when you get there, I'm sure I'll love them." He finishes, still smiling. After that I wake up.
