Truth

*~*----------------*~*


"Unless Lorana has come back."

"Lorana?" confused, Makoto asked.

"Yes, Fatora used to have a split personality when she was younger. Her name was Lorana. They were same age. She used to slowly torture small animals and rip up Fatora's dolls.

"How did you manage to get rid of Lorana?"

"We didn't. She faded away. Or so it seems."

"So, Lorana has been…"


A scream is heard in the distance.

"That sounded like Alielle."

"Oh, no"


*~*------------------*~*
Lorana was watching, waiting, listening.

She heard the whole conversation. Every single word.

"Grr, you're going to pay, you snitch." she whispered while whisking away towards her room.

The door creaked open.

"Oh, god, no. Please don't let it be Fatora."

Lorana rushed in. There was rage in her eyes.

"I can't believe you told Makoto! You little snitch!"

Lorana tore at Alielle's face. Opening more wounds and making previous ones larger.

"No. I have something better in mind for you."

She cut the ropes loose and removed the gag.

Alielle's wrists were already bleeding profusely due to being suspended by them. Lorana pulled Alielle's head back and forced her to gulp down blood from her own wrist.

"How dare you betray me!" Lorana yelled at Alielle, still drowning in blood.

"You are going to pay."

She dragged Alielle to the stairway.

"No, don't."

"Too late. You should have thought of the consequences before you betrayed me. Have a nice trip."

Lorana flung Alielle headfirst down the stairs.

Alielle screamed as she fell.

A loud crack could be heard when she fell on her left arm.

When she finally reached the foot of the stairs she was bleeding badly from the head, the broken arm's bone was protruding through the flesh and she wasn't moving.

Lorana switched back to Fatora.

"Where am I? I…I don't remember."

Looking around, she saw Alielle lying at the foot of the stairs.

"Alielle!"

She wanted to rush down to help her but she noticed that her hands were drenched in blood.

"What happened? No, not again. I didn't do that. It wasn't me."

She didn't know what to do.

She wanted to run but her lover was lying on the floor and bleeding badly.

Footsteps could be heard coming.

"Fatora!"

It was Makoto. She was sure to get blamed now. Fatora fled.

She knew she was innocent. She couldn't have done it. Not to Alielle. But by fleding she looked even guiltier.

Makoto didn't chase Fatora. Instead, he ran down the stairs towards Alielle.

"Oh, god, Alielle!"

Makoto checked for a pulse.

"She's still alive." He said in a sigh of relief.

"We've got to get her help." Rune insisted.


_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Just to avoid confusion, Lorana is Fatora. Fatora is Fatora. It's just that they are two different chracters rolled up in one body, Fatora's body. So, when I say Lorana, see Fatora. When I say Fatora, see Fatora. This is only applicable from this chapter up. In chapter 1,2 and 3 nobody knows Lorana is Fatora. (In fact, neither did I! I make up the story as I write) so, when I write Fatora in chapter 1,2 and 3 I really mean Lorana.

See, Dookychan? I never did write that Fatora was abusive and stuff. I told you not to jump to conclusions. ^_^

Okay, now, would you people like a flash back chapter being the next or a continuation oh this one? Tell me, please.
