Chapter 10 - The Truth

Sunlight poured through the windows, filling the darkened room in glittering beams. Dark silhouettes danced around the room, creating an evil atmosphere. A man was tied to a chair, his ankles cuffed to the legs. His head flopped sideways, indicating he was unconscious, his mouth open. Another man stood in front of him, holding a key and smiling wickedly at his hostage, his eyes glinting with success.

Tori kicked her stiletto against the old wooden door, finding it giving away easily. Finding the room already lit, she through her torch behind her and beckoned Cat and Jade in. Cautiously looking around the room, three pairs of eyes landed on the passed out human, tied in the centre.

"BECK!"

Tori raced full force to her love and struggled to unknot his hands. Meanwhile Cat was trying to get Beck back, splashing water onto his face. Jade guarded the door, making sure nobody was coming in and checking that no one else was in the basement. Resulting in nothing, Cat slapped Beck across his cheek, leaving a faded in print, but to her relief making him come to his senses.

"Beck!" Cat and Tori gushed. He was attacked in hugs, while he was still figuring out what was going on. Then they heard clapping. The room turned joyous to evil once again as the clapping continued, echoing throughout the silence. Tori immediately turned to were Jade was standing, only to find her not there. It stopped.

"You found him. Congratulations, but I guess it's time to start over right?" The voice calmly said.

"No! I'm sick and tired of playing your game over the years! I want to be with him, not you!" Tori shouted back. The man's footsteps treaded, ending up behind her. Cat and Tori turned around to find Andre staring at them, his hands held out in front. A knocked out Jade was balanced between and a dagger on her neck, glinting at her cheek showing a fresh cut still bleeding. Cat stumbled back and hid behind Beck's chair. Tori however stood her ground, her fists clenched. She finally knew and she wasn't going to give that up.

Flashback.
Jade lead Tori back to her room, leaving Cat working on the phone. Jade pointed over to the bed, which Tori lay down on. Carrying out the process, Tori instantly fell asleep, frown lines showing.

Tori's POV

"FEY! He wants you in his chamber!" Stupid mistress. I nodded quickly and walked to the King's chamber. This was just what I needed, a distraction from finishing the days chores and getting to sleep. Stifling a yawn, I knocked swiftly on the door. Immediately it opened to reveal the King himself, smiling at me,. I frowned, what would he need me for now? At midnight? This had been happening a lot lately. He stepped out and beckoned me to walk with him. I relied with a short 'Yes my King' and followed. He leaded me to his rose garden and sat down next to me on a bench. Then he picked a rose himself and handed it to me. He gave me a sign of... love? In disgust, I mushed it under my foot and quickly walked back to the castle kitchens. The King behind me asking questions on why I refused.

"Why I refused?! You have a wife! And I have my love Kane!" With that I turned. Then I felt a sharp pain shoot through my stomach. I looked down to see my plain white clothes stained with a deep red colour. Blood. I twisted my head to see the King pulling the sword out, covered in blood. He looked happy, then realisation came to what he had done. I felt my head spinning and I fell to the ground.

I stood up again. I wasn't feeling any pain... I looked up to see the King hovering over a body. MY body. He picked it up and ran away. I tailed him as fast as I could, which was surprisingly easier in this form. He entered the main village and headed over to Talia - our village witch.

"Talia! Help me! I killed the love of my life!" Talia tutted and helped him lay my body down on a rock slab. I took a quick glance around the room. Full of charms, talisman, scriptures. You could feel the dark magic energy inside of your veins. Dominating the room was a huge cauldron filled with fire. I shivered slightly, then turned to the conversation.

"I can make it so you can find her in another life. I cannot bring her back." He nodded anyway and closed his eyes.

"You will know everything about her, her love reborn and you will have the chance of getting her." He nodded again. Talia took a hot poker in the shape of a circle and pressed it to the King's chest. He groaned in agony and fell to the floor, smoke coming off.

"You will know everything, she will know nothing. If she dies, her lover will die too. If he dies, then she will. But..."

Tori woke up from her dream. What was Talia going to say? She quickly skimmed through the other visions looking for clues, but stumbled on something else instead. So each time, Anton, Klark, Miek, the King they all wanted her? Then she realised something. During Beck's bomb she grabbed Andre's shirt. He had a burn just like that. He was the one who kidnapped Beck?

"I know what you want Andre and it isn't going to work this time."

"Oh won't it? You don't have a clue to end it all anyway. Do you?"

Matter of fact she did, and it was hiding in her back pocket, ready for the climax.

A/N - Voila! Secrets finally revealed. If your still confused ask me to explain or I'll do an update to try and explain it better. Sorry for a late update, but I found it SO hard to write this chapter. I'll probably wrap it up in the next two chapters.

Thanks to all of you, who've read, reviewed or favourite the story.
