Chapter 11: allerys's secret

Zaheers POV

When were done trying to talk sense into ming hua (and lost) i looked at the limosine that drove into the parking lot... and my mouth fell open in shock when i saw my "MOTHER" stepped out of the limosine... closely followed by my father and 2 people i had never seen before...

"Mother... father...what a pleasant suprise..."

Allerys suddenly called as she ran past ghazan and me and went over to hug the 2 adults that had come with my parents for some odd reason...

" zaheer... these are my parents... gennie and altor lee.. you might remember them do... they visited you when your were 8... to disgust our engagement..."

Allerys said with a smile on her face. I now looked from her too her parents with a stern look... trying to remember if i had indeed had seen them before and were... i was about to say forgot when allerys's father launched at a joke his daughter had made about my forgetfullness... thats when it hit me...

*flashback*

"Mommy... do i really have to wear this... its ichie..."

8 year old zaheer wined as he walked to his mother wearing a tuxio. The maids standing behind him looking at him smiling as they let their young master walk to his mother...

"Yes sweety, were having propper lady and lordship over for tea that means tuxio on... no nose pulking and mind your manners.."

My mother firmly told me as she fixed me tie... i hated my tie.. and my tuxio... i rather wore my t-shirt and normal pants in which i was allowed to get dirty...

"Yes mother..."

I said as i looked to the garden with a sad look... it was a nice warm afternoon... i had wanted to ask mister buckward, my private teacher to teach me outside today... then stay outside after my teachings until dinner, which was ruined by this...

" good... your all set... come along now sweety... the visitors can be here every minute now"

My mother said, as the maids started clearing away the remaining stuff, then went on cleaning up my room.

"yes mother…."

I sighted as i walked after her, praying too the spirits this would be over soon... but it didn't it lasted all afternoon... in which i had to sit still and act like a propper young man, instead of running around the garden like a normal child... it was totally boring.. thats when i started to hate monarchy... Because It ruined my life…. If kings and queens didn't exsisted…. All this "being propper" shit would seize to excist as well….. Which meant i would be free….

"the one problem is…. The avatar would try and stop us…."

I thought as I played a little with tie, which earned me a glare from my father as my mother was talking with the strict looking black haired man, while the other woman, a brunette with piercing orange eyes was holding their 5 year old daughter in her lap who was already the picture of everything a child SHOULDN'T be…..well mannered and well behaved…. Sitting still in her mothers lap as her parents spoke…

"betcha she would love to get into the garden and play around as well…..everything better then sitting here and having to watch mommy and daddy talk... this is soooo boring... "

I thought as I looked at my mother again, who was smiling at the young girl with the long black hairs and the piercing brown eyes…. Allerys…..

* end off flashback*

"Yeah i remember... you came on that summer day to speak to my parents about your daughter... was that... is she?"

I now asked as pieces of a puzzle slowly started to click into each other... if they were those people that came too speak with parents that day about their daughter... and if that daughter was allerys... then she was the one...

"Indeed... allerys and you have been engaged since you were eight... and were so happy to see you two are in love now.."

My mother replied... smiling as she placed a proud hand on my arm, while my father nodded too show he was proud of me as well...

"And... did you know this?"

I asked allerys with a stern look, feeling betrayed by her once again...

"Yes... but to me... that arrangement doesnt matters... believe me sweety... i joined to white lotus to get away from it... "

Allerys said as she had tears in her eyes... Saddned by the fact that I wasn't believing her…. Yet again…. Even do I had all the right too, since this was the second time in a row that I caught her for lying to me…..

"zaheer, look me in the eye….. I didn't acted like I fell in love with you to please my parents… I REALLY fell in love with you….. The way you are…."

she smiled as she cupped my cheeck in her hand so I had to look her in the eye…. Her bright orange eyes looking at me with a look I knew she couldn't fake…. And if she was faking it... she was really a good actress... especially since it would be the second time she would manage to fool me into believing she loved me for the second time...

"I know it must sound to you like... like i planned this all... but believe me honey... your the one and only for me...".

Allerys said, looking at me sadly... her parents looked at each other smiling as they nodded.

"Its true what she says zaheer... she joines the white lotus to get away from the deal... and when we hears you ran away... we hoped she would find true love... "

Allerys's mother said with a smile n her face... as her husband placed his hand on her other shoulder..

"And she did... we thought she and jhon young would be the perfect couple... her happily ever afer... but... he was killed in battle... when you guys freed your armless friend..."

Gennie lee said with a sad smile on her face... allerys nodded sadly as she looked at her red dress...

"That story you told me then... about your dress... that was... reall?"

I asked shocked now. Allerys looked up at me with a shocked look...probably because she hadn't thought i had thought everything she told me during the time she pretended to be my boyfriend was a lie... before she nodded.

"Yes... the dress was indeed his last present for me... a few days before he... well..."

Allerys started, but stopped as she suddenly started to sob uncontrollaby... the thought about him still hurted her a lot...

"I'm sorry i didn't believed you... its just... after all we've been threw... its a little hard... "

I stammed as i wrapped my arms around my fience's shoulder and gave her a soft kiss on her cheeck... knowing how it felt to lose a loved one...

"I know honey... and i understand... it was my own fault... if... if i had been honest with you from the start... non of this would have happened..."

Allerys sniffed as she held me close. Our parents looked at us with a shocked look... as we huged each other close lovingly... comforting each other.

"I know the feel... I lost p"li in battle with whom i hav been in love for quit some time... i was honest about her as well..."

I now said as i looked at her with tears in my eyes.. feeling bad about the fact i hadn't been able to trust her now...despite the fact that she had been honest with me about some things...

"I know... i saw it in your eyes when you spoke about her... you really loved her a lot..."

Allerys replied with a smile on her face.

"Yeah... "

I replied silently... looking to a place behind my parents... were i could SWEAR i saw a blue seeing threw light... p"li...

" and i know she is still watching us... watching over you..."

Allerys said as she looked at the blue mist in the corner as well, do i wondered if she could see it as well...

"I know... i can feel her presence around us as well... you think it is because were still bickering a lot?"

I asked her now as i placed a hand around her waist and looked at her with a teasing smile...

"I dunno... we find out if you stop distrusting me so match..."

Allerys teased me back as she patted me on my nose smirking...

"I know how we can fix that problem...letspromise to be honest with each other from now on... however gruwsome it is... "

I said with a smile as i held up my hand for her. Allerys smiled at me... looking at my hand with a smile before she grasped it.

"Thats a deal..."

She smiled at me... before we kissed...

Normal POV

P"li's ghost was standing in a corner of the room, together with the ghost of allerys's former boyfriend jhon... the 2 of them were standing in a corner of the room watching their ex-lovers talk to each other.

"They sure bicker a lot"

Jhon said as he watched how allerys and zaheer got into another fight because allerys hadn't told him she was the one her parents had wanted to force him to marry..

"Well... i can get his point... do yeah... he's more distrusting her then i remember him... "

P"li replied, smiling when she saw zaheer looked her way, smiling back at her carefully before he and allerys promiaed each other never to keep a secret from each other again, how gruwsome it might be...

"Thats so sweet... i'm happy you showed me this p"li.. i can move onwards now... knowing she is happy..."

Jhon said... as the blonde haired ghost walked towards the wall and then dissapeared...

"Me too... have a nice life zaheer... allerys... i'll always be there if you ever need me... "

She whispered before she walked threw the wall and dissapeared as well... not seeing that behind her... allerys and zaheer had looked up... the male with tears in his eyes as the female held him around his waist lovingly...

"Thanks p"li... thanks for always being there for me.. "

Zaheer thought with a smile on his face as he watched the former combustion girl dissapeared threw the wall...

"I know honey... she will always be there for us... both of them will but... isn't it time"

Allerys said as she watched her boyfriend and her girlfriend dissapear threw the wall... "time" zaheer knew what he meant with that... and he had wanted to do that before... but back then he hadn't been able to let go of her "fully" he had been able to let go of her enough to gain his flight... but a part of him had kept hold of her because he felt guilty about her death... because she had been his responibility... he had to protect her! And he had failed... thanks to him she was death...

"Do... allerys is right... and we have each other now!... its time to set her free..."

Zaheer thought as he sat down in the lotus position and concentrated on that last moment he and p"li had been together... the moment she had died...

"She passed away... and now its time to move on... goodbye p"li... i'm setting you free now.."

Zaheer thought as he smiled as her face floated out before him to the endless sky... were he couldn't grab her anymore... and despite that... he fell happy... she was free and so was he...

"Goodbye p"li... i"ll never forget... but i DO let you go now..."

Zaheer thought as he opened his eyes... he fell strange.. light... as if a heavy burder was lifted from his chest... allerys looked at him smiling, since she was sitting across from him doing thesame... thing... after the 2 of them were done, they got up and hugged each other... happy they were freed of the burder of the loss they had suffered... and free of the lies... that had almost cost them each other...

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

And with that i end chapter 11! I know ming hua and ghazan weren't mentioned in this chapter, but i thought it was a nice little chapter in which we learn some things about zaheer and allerys's past.

A/N

Zaheer still fell guilty about her death, even after all this time... yeah i know... he let his eartly tethers go, but i think that didn't erased the guild about her death...

Allerys was the little girl in the lap of the woman in the flashback (in case you hadn't noticed) ofcourse zaheer didn't record-iced her because it has been so long since they last saw each other... but allerys's parents told her he had been the one they had wanted to force her to marry when she told them she and zaheer got engaged.

I don't think this will be the last time we saw p"li's ghost appear in the back of the room, despite the fact zaheer set her free in this chapter... because setting her free for me means she can come back out of her own free will...

I'm not sure whether zaheers parents are gonna do more explaining about zaheers past ore not.. i mean... we havent gotten ANY flashbacks about how the red lotus members came to be... but im not sure they SHOULD explain... let me know what you think about this please...

Well thats all for now! Let me know what you think, thanks for reading and don't forget to

REVIEUW!
