This is the last main chapter, there will be another one after this which will be intitled "Aftermath."

Chapter 10

Finale

Vala felt as if her body was on fire she had easily moved out of the way of Marie and kicked her hard in the back sending her face forward into the tree. Shuffling her feet she got ready for another attack.

"It was always about you. Father adored you and mother loathed you!" she yelled turning around crying.

"Marie," Vala said only in a whisper.

"Father killed mother to avenge you. He never thought that maybe I still needed her, that maybe I still loved her!" she cried raising her hands up to show Vala the blood that was slowly appearing on her hands then dripping off.

"How are you bleeding?" Vala asked astonished.

"Don't worry, it's not mine," she whispered, "I was so generous to them…"

The man watched Daniel for what seemed like hours as if contemplating what to say. Cocking his head he watched Daniel stand up to face him.

"I'm happy she found you," he started out simply, "don't worry. Gareth fears this part of the forest for those who were killed by the Goa'uld rest here."

"Who are you?" Daniel asked surveying him.

Chuckling he smiled at Daniel, "always asking questions just like me. I am Dan. I suppose Vala has already told you about me at least what she remembers. Its nice to know I was right."

"Right about what?"

"That she would find the one meant for her, I just didn't expect him to be so much like me." Grinning he leaned against a tree. "So the ex love meets the new love."

"So it seems. Do you know what's happening here? Like how the dead have come alive."

"Of course, but why would I tell you that just yet? It's not time yet. The ghosts of the past must first be faced. Now tell me of what has been happening over the last 70 years."

"What do you mean you were generous?" Vala questioned as she stepped closer.

"I didn't let them hurt for long. Father didn't want to be without you and I wanted to be with my mother…so I was able to easily remedy it."

"That blood…" Vala gasped.

"Its from the day the villagers died," she cackled, "mother came. It felt so warm sharing my body with her…I killed them all. With a dagger you see, the same one father used for mother. They kept on screaming" her mouth curled up in a grin. "After they all died, I ended my own life so I could be with them."

"Oh," Vala whispered stepping backwards away for Marie.

"You were always the favorite," her voice seemed hollow now. Marie's eyes darkened and her mouth gasped open as if something cold had went over her. "Sister, you are such a fool."

"Adria," Vala mouthed out as she herself felt her knees go weak as her mother came up behind her touching her shoulders.

"Little sister, it seems our daughters have a conflict on their own," Adria cackled breathing into Marie's ear. "Maybe we should assist them."

"Stay out of this Adria!" Vala's mother warned.

"How will you stop me? You're still chained. I am free!"

"Adria," she whispered and let herself vanish soon to be followed by Adria.

"Mother wants me to kill you, kill you so much your soul will be for ever trapped. Burning, burning. The cave. Forever with your mother don't you want that?"

"Destroyed some of the Goa'uld system lords? Quite impressive. I wish I had more time to speak with you. Time is running late. To stop this, you must first free the souls that first began this."

"Adria?"

"That is only but one, though some can be taken down with one action." Then he was suddenly gone and Daniel was left alone to contemplate his next move.

Vala felt herself being moved. A cold hand clasped tightly on her wrists dragging her. What had happened? Closing her eyes she tried to remember, she remembered Marie coming closer then suddenly she was on the ground going unconscious.

"No," she whimpered as she moved her head to see that Marie was pulling her towards the cave. Clasping onto Marie's arm she pulled her hard onto the ground and pulled herself away from her.

"I'm being generous…don't worry I don't think burning hurts that much."

"Yeah right," Vala hissed and kicked Marie's shoulder as she got up. An idea came to her as she looked at the cave. Running into it Marie followed after. "Come on Marie" Vala whispered.

"Sister, thank you for making this easier for me" she laughed as she stepped into the large room. Vala smiled and looked at Marie.

"I've decided that maybe its time. I want to spend eternity with you sister" Vala said shyly opening her arms accepting a hug from Marie.

"Oh I knew you would sister, now all you have to do is die."

Vala felt a tear go down her cheek as she clasped the chains around Marie's wrist and pushed them towards the wall sticking the metal base with a spike hard into the softened rock. "I'm sorry," she whispered stepping back.

"You fool! Material items cannot hold me" she screeched as she attempted to dematerialize but could. "What's going on?"

"My mothers keeping you there," Vala whimpered as another tear slid down her face. "I know I loved you so much and I don't want to do this but this must end! Just hopefully this works and it frees you…"

"What are you talking about?" she yelled as Vala rummaged through her pockets to take out a couple extra bullets and matches. Taking a rock she broke off the caps a spread the powder down around Marie. Reaching into her jacket she took out her diary and rested it down on the powder.

"There's enough supplies in here to keep the fire going until it's able to completely swallow this room…I'm sorry." Lighting a match she let it drop on her book and it slowly began to burn. "Good bye sister." Turning around she walked to the exit and looked back at Marie. Tears began to build up in her eyes as she leaned against the wall.

"Vala!" Marie yelled angrily sending a wave of wind through the room causing the fire to spread rapidly around her.

"I'm so sorry," she whimpered and turned around fleeing out of the cave.

Vala went running into the clearing only to catch site of Daniel inspecting the tree. Tears began welling up again as she ran to him and hugged him from behind causing him to jump until he noticed who it was. Turning around her hugged her back.

"I…I…killed Marie" she whimpered, "I know what she did was wrong. She killed everyone and yet I can't stop crying."

"She was your sister, its perfectly normal. You shouldn't have had to do that," he whispered and lifted her chin up causing her to grin a bit. "It's going to hurt for awhile, just be strong."

Wiping her tears away she pulled away. "No problem."

"I talked to Dan, he said you have to free the souls that started this. I guess intern all the others will be free to.

"Marie, Adria, my father, and my mother" Vala stated and began to look around at her surroundings feeling as if she was being watched.

"He also said, freeing one of them would free another as well."

"How touching" Adria hissed as she stepped out of the shadows, "killing my daughter? How dare you! Now you shall feel the loss of someone you care about!" Screeching she waved her hand to the side sending Daniel into a tree.

"Daniel!" Vala yelled and ran to him. Kneeling beside his body he opened his eyes and smiled at her. "I'll keep her occupied, I have a plan just go into town. Take care of my father. Please."

"Consider it done," he croaked and lifted himself up a bit.

"Good," she smiled half-heartedly and pressed her lips against his as she tried to force back tears. "Go" she said simply as she turned around and walked towards Adria.

"How touching, I'll guess I'll just handle him after I'm done with you!" Adria grabbed Vala and forced her to the ground, "You may be stronger then my dear sister but you are still no match for me." Lifting her back up she threw her towards the Oak tree.

Vala lay there silent trying to get up but pain consumed her body completely. Running her hands through the moss she touched Adria's grave. Rummaging through her pockets she grabbed her matches and lit one.

"What do you think you're doing?" Adria hissed as she walked calmly towards Vala.

"Good bye," Vala yelled and dropped the match on her grave and rolled away as it set fire to the moss covering it.

"How dare you!" She hissed trying to step forward but she found her body immobile. Looking around frantically her eyes locked on Vala's eyes glimmering with the light from the fire. Vala stood up and walked away from the fire. As the fire began to lick up the tree truck Adria began to burn. Flames licked at her feet then up to her head. Suddenly she was gone with one last scream.

Finally Vala let out a breath as her eyes locked on the Oak tree now just a tower of fire. "Whoa…"

"Vala, I thought I should say goodbye."

"Mum," Vala whispered and turned to her. Her mother's hand touched her cheek and leaned in to hug her for a moment.

"I love you, remember that. You must go now, soon the fire will spread and nothing will be left of the village. Now, take this" she spoke softly as she took out an old picture. Putting it into Vala's hands they both looked down at it. "Its your farther, you, and I when you were very small."

"I love you, mum. Thank you." Vala hugged her for as long as she could. Her mother stepped out of her arms and smiled.

"Now go to your Daniel, he faces your father now. Don't worry though he'll be fine and so will Dan. When you are free from this planet so will he. Now go, take care of yourself." With that she turned around and dispersed in the winds.

For a moment Vala just stood there looking at the picture. Smiling she put it in her pocket and ran towards the village.

Vala ran to where Gareth and Daniel stood. No words were being spoken they just watched each other.

"Father," Vala whispered and walked into his arms letting him hug her then pulled out of them.

"I guess that's your way of saying I have to go now."

"Pretty much. Please." Grinning he touched her cheek.

"I just wanted to spend time with my daughter, and little did I know my other one needed me more than you ever did."

"You are aware she killed you right?"

"Yes, but she is still by daughter. I sense you have freed the others, and then I guess I shall join them. Good-bye. Take care of yourselves," turning around he to disappeared into the wind.

"That was easy."

"Far to easy, lets run" Vala insisted grabbing his hand as they ran towards the gate.

Vala and Daniel stood in front of the now activated the gate breathing hard. Turning around Vala saw that what her mom foretold was quickly coming true the forest was set ablaze and part of the village was already on fire.

"Daniel," Vala whispered and collapsed into his arms.

"Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis," Daniel muttered as he picked Vala up into his arms and stepped threw the event horizon.

To be continued in the final chapter intitled "Aftermath"
There it is, I update pretty quickly. I am so proud. I can't believe its almost over! I so don't want it to end. Now I will go write the next chapter for Saving Me.

Oh and besides that I am going to explain the title of this story.

Requiem: Requiem is a mass for the dead celebrated by the Roman Catholic Church.

What Daniel said at the end is latin I believe and it means "Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them."

Hugs to you all,
