When Sunlight meets Moonlight
Chapter 20: It Was Her
" Because you loved me?" Sophie asked cautiously, looking at her unpredictable daughter.
" No." came the simple harshly whispered answer.
" Then…" Sophie inquired, eyes concerned as she watched Mina's hand press harder on the glass shreds.
" I loved you! You!" Mina broke out in an anguish cry, shaking her blooded hand at Darien.
Darien stared…at the agony in the blue eyes…the cerulean eyes so like Serena's, at the blood…running in thin rivers down her arm, and dripping ever so slowly like tear drops onto the glass shreds below.
" You." Sophie understood, looking at Serena. " You took him from her, like Angie took Scott from me. But in the end…in the end my dear, the sunlight never meets the moonlight."
Serena trembled, shaking fingers running back and forth over her tattoo.
" You knew. Even at a young age, I knew you understood why your mother had such mood swings. Why…there was such a vast difference between your mother's personality at times." Sophie whispered hard, staring at the nervous girl. " Why?! Why you wondered. Did it ever occur to you that they were two different people?"
" Two…different…different…people." Serena muttered, eyes glazed as her memories ran past her eyes as if on rewind. " It was you…"
" Scott, how nice to see you." A blonde grinned at the bewildered man, outside the hotel door.
" Angie?" Scott Tenor asked, uncertain.
The blonde's giggle was like wind chimes crashing lightly together. Scott smiled at the sound.
The blonde held her hand out. " Sophie. Sophie Ireland. Please to meet you."
Scott scratched his head. " By god, you and Angie. Twins I swear." He shook his head chuckling to himself.
Sophie's eyes gleamed.
" You need a break, sis." Sophie said, putting a comforting hand on Angie.
Sweeping up the last crumbs on the table, Angie let out a tired sigh. She smiled ruefully at her sister. " Did you see the look on Sere's face? When Scott and I brought out that cake? Oh, she loved it."
Sophie's eyes narrowed. Quickly she plastered a smile. " Let me take her to the park. You take a break." She persuaded.
" I guess…" Angie hesitated.
" Out! To the country club for a swim or a trail ride." Sophie pushed Angie lightly out the door, as soon as Angie had changed. " I don't want to see you for hours!" Sophie laughed. She shut the door. " Better not be back for hours." She muttered. She ran upstairs and put on the outfit Angie had worn before she changed for the country club. The door pushed open. Little Serena stood there, hugging her teddy bear.
" Where's mommy?" she asked, tilting her head full of golden curls up.
" Here I am." Sophie whispered, arms wrapping around Serena. " Bastard's daughter." She murmured as she enveloped Serena in a hug. " Your suppose to be my daughter. Mine."
" So…that day…you…" Serena's eyes widened.
" Yes. I killed Angie. Can't be too careful now can we?" Sophie grinned.
Serena's legs gave out. Darien dove to catch her. " Sere?" he whispered, pushing her damp hair off her forehead.
" It was her…" she replied.
To Be Continued….
A/N: Yes, yes…I know this story is getting confusing. So here I will try and clear it up.
~ Mina is Sophie's daughter. She loved Darien, which is why she tries to harm Serena. She was devastated when Darien got together with Serena.
~ That night when Darien and Serena ran into Mina in the garden, those two people talking were Sophie and Ken. Making plans, etc.
~ Sophie and Angie were twins. They both loved Scott.
~ Scott loved Angie, but he got drunk and accidentally impregnated Angie.
~ Sophie grew bitter at that, and made sure the news got out, so Angie lost her respect.
~ Scott did marry Angie and happily too.
~ Sophie, looking so like Angie, hatched a plan. She figured, she would take away the one person that Angie loved most in the world: Serena.
~ She maneuvered Angie out of the house as much as possible, and posed as Angie many times.
~ She tried to get rid of Serena, and grew jealous when Scott showed so much love to Serena.
~ When she couldn't get rid of Serena, she abused her and told her lies.
~ That night in the snow, when Angie and Scott gave Serena the sunlight meets moonlight tattoo (explained later) Sophie got really mad
~ When Scott was upstairs, Angie arrived back earlier than Sophie expected, from a trip that Sophie " accidentally" forgot to tell Scott about.
~ Sophie, knowing that Angie would find out about what Sophie did, killed Angie and planted that note in her hand.
~ Years later, Sophie came back (dun, dun DUN)
~ Mina only went along with the plan because she wanted Darien.
~ Ken was a paid part of the plan.
~ Lita became part of it because she liked Ken.
~ Amy became part of it because…. (I will explain later)
~ Raye's plan never happened, and she was just thrown in the confuse you. J heh heh
~ The tattoo part will appear in the next chapters, so don't worry about it.
~ More romance parts to come, because I had to get the history stuff out of the way. I was going to have Sophie explain it all, but I figured it may have been more confusing, so I just put in a few flash backs and this. BUT! If someone can rewrite all this clarification information along with the chapter I put above…. I will reward them with 1) replace mine with his/hers 2) give them credit of course 3) give them the rest of the story (including epilogue) weeks before I upload it.
~ Anymore questions? The chapter has to be easy to understand, suspenseful, colorful, and approved by me. J Please email me @ aznjo87@hotmail.com
