Okay! I'm not sure if I should make this the conlcusion or not.....if I do, it will be a happy and fluffy romance story, but it will leave some knots untied......If I continue this story for one more chapter, I can either make this story angsty or romancy. SOOOO, you better review and say which would be best, okay? Now, for the either the conclusion or the fourth chapter!
Leila mentally hit herself.
No! Should have been more careful! Leila wished she could disappear. Her act had been perfect, until now.
Hector was about to ask her something but then, Lyn came in.
"Hector, I need..." Lyn didn't complete her sentence when she saw Leila, trembling on the ground.
"Hector! What did you do now? You scared the poor girl!" Lyn said, starting to yell at Hector. Then to Leila she said, " Come here, let me help you."
Lyn took Leila's hand, helped her up, and brought her out of the tent. Leila breathed a sigh of relief to get out of the tension. Lyn guided her to another tent, most likely her own. On the way there, Leila heard leaves getting slightly crushed, so she had the feeling that Matthew was following, since Hector would have made a big noise.
Lyn lead Leila into the tent and made her sit down.
"Okay first of all, before I start asking questions, who are you?" Lyn asked.
Leila liked Lyn. Unlike Hector, she wasn't rough and hot headed. Leila didn't mind talking to Lyn, since she seemed nice and trustworthy. For some reason, since Lyn didn't know who she was, Leila was more comfortable.
At least she's not turning pale at the sight of me, Leila said to herself.
"I'm not sure, but I think it's Leila." Leila said, answering Lyn's question.
Lyn looked at the girl, Leila. She seemed familiar.
Leila, where have I heard that before, Lyn said to herself, searching her memories. For some reason, the name Leila brought her back to the port of Dread Isle and Castle Caelin. Then she remebered that Leila was the girl who was a spying in the Black Fang. But wasn't Leila dead?
"Now what happened? Whatever you did, you sure gave Hector and Matthew quite a scare. They were pale white!"Lyn said with a warm smile, thinking about what could make Hector scared. He always had a cool head with any surprise.
Leila closed her eyes, looking as if she was trying to remember something. Then she opened her eyes."I don't know. I have amnesia so don't remember anything about my past. They must know me somehow."
Lyn felt bad for the poor girl. For all she knew, she might have been a criminal in Ostia. Yet, when Leila said that Hector and Matthew must have known her somehow, she kept on thinking about Matthew's girlfriend.
"Well, what's the first thing that happened that you remember?" Lyn asked, wanting to help Leila. " Do you remember anything?"
Leila shuddered. " I woke up in a room, a dark one, with candles surrounding me. A man told me that my name was Leila. Then in exchange for my past, he said I had to.......kill Hector."
Lyn immediately had a notion what happened, the pieces were starting to fit together. "Can you describe what the man looked like?"
Leila started to tremble and shudder again. "He was creepy, with a turban covering one eyes. The man had dark gray eyes, that were almost black, and he wore a large cloak."
Nergal! That fiend. He must of made a morph, who was an exact replica of Leila, Matthew's girlfriend. The only think was that he didn't expect Leila's memories to return to her. Lyn bristled with fury. Leila started to worry.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
Lyn just smiled, "The man you met is Nergal." Lyn saw Leila get angry, just as she had. "I think I know what happened. Why don't you get some sleep? You look pretty tired."
Leila nodded as Lyn placed her in the sleeping bag on the floor. As soon as Lyn saw that Leila was asleep, she checked her wrist, to see if there was a pulse. There was none, which confirmed Lyn's suspicion. As soon as she went outside to tell Hector the story, she saw Matthew.
"I'm take it that you overheard?" Lyn said. Matthew nodded.
"Do you think that Leila is a morph?" He asked. "It seems possible even if its not that likely."
Lyn leaned against the tent as she explained the story. "Nergal made an exact replica of Leila, with appearance and personality with the essence Ephidel collected. The only thing he didn't expect was Leila's memories to start to come back. I checked her pulse. There was none at all."
Matthew was silent, looking grave. "Let me tell this to Hector. Seeing Leila gave him quite a shock."
Leila had an odd dream as she was sleeping. She was on a cloud, one part of the cloud black, the other white. They sky was raining in some parts, while in the other, it was bright and sunny. She was starding in front of a plain gold mirror, with a single locket hanging from the point on top.
"Where....am I?" Leila said looking around. It seemed familiar, like everything else she had seen. A voice exactly like hers answered.
"In your and my soul."
Leila turned around toward the mirrow, where the voice had come from. She gasped, for she saw and exact copy of herself. The only thing different was that her eyes weren't so glassy as Leila's, and she was dressed in a big white robe, with white wings sprouting from the back.
"Who are you?" Leila asked. The girl smiled.
"In a way, you could say you and I are the same, except that you are from a different realm" she said, with a little sadness in her eyes.
"What do you mean?" Leila asked, dazed and confused. She couldn't stop asking questions. This person was exactly like her.
"You'll understand soon. Just tell Matthew that I will always love him and will be watching him." The girl said, with a twinkle in her eyes now. She came out from the mirror and into Leila's body.
Leila fell backwards. She dropped off the clouds and fell down into endless eternity....
Leila sat up, in Lyn's sleeping bag, feeling an odd tingling feeling. In her hand, was the locket that she saw hanging on the mirror. However, she didn't open it, knowing what would happen. Then it hit her.
She had all her memories of her past and new feelings. Matthew. She remebered how much she had loved him, and how sad she felt when he left to help Hector. She remembered her talk with Matthew, when Matthew asked her to come meet his parents some time.
Just then, Matthew came in. He looked a bit odd, a mix of worry and excitement.
"How are you feeling Leila?" He asked, his tone as odd as his look, yet his voice was mixed with love.
Leila started crying.
"Oh Matthew," she said.
Then she hugged Matthew, her lips meeting his.
Leila drew away, saying, "Oh Matthew, how I've missed you so much!"
Matthew then noticed the locket in her hand and said, "Me too."
