Bohma, Lake House

After losing sight of the couple, Angelina shook her head to clear her thoughts. She couldn't allow them to take over her, after all, three months since Chris' disappearance, and despite their hopes, there was the chance that Chris was in fact dead, so Kate had all the right to start over her life with someone new.

Inhaling a deep and leaving out a long sigh, the redhead turned away to check her former property, although her thoughts were constantly being dragged to the moment her eyes caught the "green-eyed stranger's" glimpse when he looked back for the last time before being tug by the jealousy blonde.

"Blonde Kate with short hair...things are really changing over here..." Angelina talked to herself staring at the lake before heading to the cemetery to visit Mr. Lionel's grave

As she walked she looked in the direction of the house. All the windows and doors were closed. Now the famous house seemed to be just an abandoned building. The land still kept its beauty of scenery, but no more than just that.

"Good morning Lionel, here I am again. I know you're here, but this is the only way I know to feel closer to you when you're so far away from here… I'm reading the diaries again. I want to be sure I didn't passed over something I should haven't...and honestly, I did…
After all the things that have happened, after all the reflection I have made, after all the therapy in progress I realized I missed a bunch of things! It's weird looking back now, there are things that are quite unpleasant to read and others I have surpassed from the last time I read it. This is a good thing I guess…
I just wish you were talking back to me so I could share my findings, or so I could have another point of view...but I tell you one thing without expecting a reply from you..." she made a pause with a sigh, "You were right about Katarina...every coin has two sides. We have different versions of the same events. She was not all bad, but not all good either. I don't tell I have forgiven her completely, but I understand her reactions a little better now. There are times I pity her.
Surprisingly I have a complete different opinion about Christopher and about that I wish you were here!

About Christopher I start to see he simply feared admitting he loved Katarina, just like Chris did about Kate. Even though none of them liked to see Katarina/Kate with someone else. Talk about possessive love...and they say Katarina was the possessive one...in my opinion both are like mirrors of each other. No more, no less.

Ah Lionel, I miss your words so much. You always had an answer for everything and so much wisdom to share.

I miss your advices on my twisted love life, for example now...when I finally feel less bitter about Katarina I see Kate with someone else. It feels like the "rivalry" feeling will never stop. When I finally let go of Chris there she appears with a hot younger guy that made my legs tremble and my dilacerated heart melt with just a glimpse... I feel like a stupid teenager right now and wanting the popular girl to disappear...ugh. I know it's pathetic but I can't help it.

What would you tell on that? Okay, I know I shouldn't say that because we know has been wished before and the outcome didn't compensate it..." She looked away distantly with a sigh, "I'm sorry for my babbling but now I have to go. George might be waiting for me with Olivia, by the way, the last update about them is that George is with someone else and Olivia and I are spending much more time together, she's growing too fast! She's talkative and loves telling stories. She also loves makeups! She's my opposite but it's alright. She's my precious jewel and I'm a better person because of her. I hope she doesn't see me as a bad mother... But well, time will tell..."

Angelina left the cemetery walking back to the front of the house. At distance she looked at the direction of Katarina's grave and headed that way.

It was part of her therapy to visit "her old enemy" grave. For a couple of minutes she got staring at the grave in silence as if picking up the right words to start a conversation as she usually did since she started paying visits to that grave.

"Hi Kat... I didn't bring you flowers today but I can see other people have come to pay visits to you. The first time I came here I had no idea your grave was in this land, it was so hidden, out of sight. In town you were referred as the infamous queen, infamous Katarina. It's not like that anymore. Now people have more respect towards you and local historians have pointed the good things you did for this town and for the country. Your keen diplomacy is revered, your fight for the less favorite and standing up against the society's traditional rules that only benefited men has turned you into one of most powerful and influential women that ever existed. That's good since people have started to see you with other eyes, and so did I... Things have changed...
Maybe one day you and I will as well towards each other... but for now it's still easier for me to talk to "you" at a grave instead of talking to "you", yet the same goes to you. I know you don't want to hear from me but I still have the letter from Christopher/Chris to you...all I need is to reunite courage to deliver it to you. Easy said than done... I still don't know how to break the barrier that lies between us. As a fact you are quite changed from the imposing figure you used to be, that's why it's hard to relate "you" to the woman buried in this pit, for exception when you, Chris and his team saved Bohma last year. You became the highlight that day just like the old days. I'll never forget it…I saw Katarina that day when you put out all that courage and fierceness that only she had when you shot those creatures to defend the ungrateful inhabitants. Once upon a time you were blamed for one town's downfall and your imaged was disgraced by other factors too. Those people gave you their backs, still there you were standing up for them…maybe for you. And it worked! There was a price…I know that. Henry…
Ah…Henry…did you know I got to talk to him once? Probably you don't know that. Henry was good at keeping secrets."

Flashback

It was night, the people in town were celebrating the local festival week. Angelina was supposed to head to Edonia after visiting Mr. Lionel at the Lake House where she met Kate along with Chris and Piers. In that day, she had noticed Kate's behavior about Chris and her jealousy glimpses at her at times. As a matter of fact, Angelina thought Kate was Chris' girlfriend due to his non-rejecting reactions about Kate's closeness. He never backed her off from him and that reaction of his, or the lack of reaction from his got Angelina's attention. He never stopped Kate despite denying having anything with her when he was questioned about her.

At that time Angelina was still too overwhelmed about everything she talked to Mr. Lionel. He was like a mentor to her. She trusted him without any doubts. She never questioned him and tried her best to follow all of his advices. He was the role model she wanted to her life, reason why she felt so impacted by his death. For her, it felt like the ground being taken from her. She got lost. However, before that, there happened that fatidic night when Chris and Kate moved by destiny had their first night together.

At that time Angelina was trying her best to keep a distance from Chris as she struggled with her wish to be with him and her commitment with George. She knew she couldn't have both and Mr. Lionel seemed to be the only one who didn't judge her for feeling that way that at times made her feel ashamed for having feelings for two men at the same time.

Despite the old man listening to her and never judging her for feeling that way, he never hid the hints that Chris and Kate were meant to be this time, no matter what. There was a karmic lesson they had to learn, and for that Angelina felt she didn't have the space she wanted in Chris' life despite him demonstrating some interest on her.

Lionel never really explained in details his beliefs and his words, but he let out the wisdom go beyond him when he preached.

So that fatidic night wasn't only meant for Chris and Kate, but it was also for Piers losing the fight once and for all. It was a fatidic night for Angelina for having to deal with her quest.

She was walking at the plaza nearby the park on her way to the train station when she stopped by a big old fountain. However, that was not any fountain. There was a symbolism on the structure of that particular fountain: winged twins.
That fountain was built under Katarina's order in tribute to the legendary Greencamp twins.

The moon was reflected on the water as the sound of water falling from the twin's hands, and a cold breeze passed on Angelina's skin as she stood still staring at distance a figure sitting at the edge in the middle of the twins as per Angelina's point of view.
Even at night it was evident the too white skin of the figure staring back at her while alone watching people partying at distance.

Angelina didn't feel scared for seeing that lonely man despite feeling her heart racing in her chest.

"A lonely woman shouldn't be wandering this time of the night despite the safety of the town"

"Do you intend to rob me or something?"

He laughed, "No way! I just didn't know how to break the ice…Angeline…" he said almost whispering when mentioning that name

His whisper caused some shivers on her skin making her legs tremble for a while, "Who are you?"

"Does it really matter? Names…"

"It does when someone is blocking my way home…"

"I'm not blocking your way. You do it yourself… don't blame others for your own fault, you just waste your time doing that. I'm a proof of that!"

"Who are you then? What makes you feel you have the right to judge me without even knowing me? By the way, I'm not AngelinE!"

"Name's Henry, it's like I said, names don't matter to me. I know you long enough to know you still do that to yourself. It's about time to stop this"

"I don't know what you're talking about…actually I don't even know why I'm even listening to you" she said starting to walk away

"I try but I'm not soft like Lionel"

Angelina stopped still and looked back at him who still remained sitting

"I guess no one can be soft as Lionel. That's a talent he's got" he shrugged

Angelina remained in silence. Intrigued. There was a soft French-like accent at some manners of Henry's speaking.

"Who…Henry, right?" she spoke frowning thoughtful

He grinned as if he could read her mind, which made her feel uncomfortable.

They remained staring for a few seconds. She knew he knew she knew now who he really was.

"What do you want from me?"

He finally stood up and walked over her, "I want my family back together…and to be free so I can stay with them"

"They are somewhere in town…"

"I know…"

"Why don't you just go after them?

"They're still not ready"

"For what?"

"To have me back"

"To have you back?" she repeated puzzled

"Once upon a time Angeline broke the family and separated us…but the irony of the destiny is that I can't do that without you"

"What? I don't get you"

"Angeline…what you look for is not in the past, he's closer to you than you think, but for that…if you don't try to fix what you did, I can't go back"

She gave a step back and swallowed as if backed off.

End of Flashback

"At that time I didn't have the vision I have today, Kat. I still thought I was only a victim. I was oblivious to the cycle we were from way before we were Angelique and Katarina. I still don't get everything Henry said that night, but I do get we can't change the past so we should stop looking back…it's not easy. I still have this feeling that doesn't go away and so the doubts start taking over me. I'm trying to fight it off, so I focus more on what I have…but sometimes I simply miss…someone…the special one…and I wonder if I'll ever find him…it feels like I don't deserve it…"

Angelina embraced herself as a tear cored down her face.

"I'm sorry sister…I'm not strong like you…I don't know how you…you…" she wiped her tears thinking of everything Kate had been through – (Katie/Kat/Kate) -, even when Katherine gave up her own life it showed that it demanded a lot of "courage" to give up her own life. Surely there were consequences for it and she had to be strong to face it whenever she had to pay back for such act later on. And she did learn that lesson, and Katarina was the proof of that strength.

"You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have...once upon a time someone said that"

Angelina looked back startled with the sudden female voice speaking behind her. Still with her vision a bit blurred, she recognized the woman.

"Moirai…"

"You finally were able to call her for what she really is…"

"Sister"

"A little progress that's worthy a mile"

"I'm on my limit, Moirai…I don't know how I can fix that…praying is not enough"

"Surely it's not. There has to have the action"

"I don't know how to break that wall all alone…she doesn't listen to me"

"Do you really want to break it?"

"I do!"

"At any cost?"

"Is there a cost for forgiveness?"

"No, but there is for pride"

Angelina let out a sigh, "I can't force her forgiveness, but I just want her to get his letter…she deserves to know the truth behind his walking away…"

Moirai remained serious as she created a fog that slowly covered the whole town of Bohma.
