Eternal Flame chapter 5 By Marcie Ann Gore Based on The ideas of Marcie Gore and Lee Hughes Christina tries to figure out what's happening to her

Christina turns towards the voice speaking to her. She sees a beautiful woman with long Black hair, light Blue eyes. She looks like she's in her early 30s of Middle-Eastern origin with tan skin and slender body.
Her voice sounds so familiar but she still can't figure out from where. She has vague memories of hearing her voice while fighting a masked Person. Why is this woman dressed in such skimpy clothes? This is the middle of winter in Gotham. Why is she dressed the way she is for that matter? "Where am I? She asks with a shaky voice. " In my father's house that's all you need to know for now, the woman tells her. " Why am I here the last thing I remember before waking up here was the night before my wedding? Does Dick know I'm here? He must be so worried " My name is Latia LaLugh. You were in an accident just before your wedding. My father will tell you more when he sees you later. He brought you here to recover. He is a Doctor. I'm his aid. We will take good care of you. As for where you are, you are in my father's house." "Where is my love? Dick where are you " Christina cries growing more agitated by the second. " You will be told when you are stronger, Christina.
I'm sorry I have to do this to but you have to calm down. Latia injects her with some unknown substance.
This calms her almost instantly. Then she checks her patient's vital signs before exiting. She meets with a mysterious man to report her findings. "How is she? I hope the Journey wasn't too traumatic for my love. I would assume she was disoriented when she woke up in a room she hadn't seen in centuries. I trust you, my darling daughter helped to calm her fears". "Father I had to give her an injection, to calm her she was calling HIS Name but I checked her Vital signs before and after. She is healthy. If the Pit restores her fully you have chosen well for your bride. "

" If I have to wait a few more hours after centuries of searching, to see my true love's eyes again, so be it. She will not be just another bride as you say, but the woman the Detective and his first Squire know As Christina is the embodiment of my Beloved first wife Sora. The Boy took her away from me centuries ago but he won't this time. I will kill him and his mentor and anyone with them if they interfere with our reunion.
She is the great love of my life. I love her more than I ever did your mother. Does it hurt to hear this my child? "

Talia looks away and says "No, father. Please tell a servant to get me if I am needed again, for either you or Christina". She goes to her room on the opposite wing and closes the door. "Ever since next I found out what this lifetime has done to my beautiful wife, I have searched for a pit that would restore her in body and mind. I want her to remember as much as possible on her own before though.
Soon she will forget whatever stories they have told her about me and trust me first as her Kind Physician then her husband. "

"How could I let my father have me do this? I've never felt any affection for Richard the Gypsy my beloved treats as a son but I know Bruce also cares for the girl like a daughter too. Her disappearance must be hurting him greatly. I had to do it though for my father. He burns with passion for Richard's would -be bride. I fear what would happen if my father was not able to fulfill his longing for her. I do know how he feels I burn with the same passion for my Beloved.
Will this young girl ever return my father's affection? It was an emotional blow to me for my father to confirm that my mother was not his great love; still I want him to be happy. "
" I have to wonder how the girl's family is coping with Her disappearance? I do know my father wants everyone to think she is dead. She has a mother who is still alive. Her father dead when she was a child. I envy her having grown up with a loving mother and a sister. I only had my father and his solders I also know how it feels to be a mother separated from her child. Her sister has children; the girl has a Niece and nephews. I have seen them together they must miss her greatly. It is a shame I couldn't leave clues at least to the children. If I did though my father would lose his great love again. I know he'd turn his anger on me; so they must continue to think their daughter sister, lover and aunt are dead. "

" I must see my beloved now! I will not disturb her The Demon's Head says to himself. He lights a candle and creeps to her bedchamber. He is still overcome by her beauty. He can't move for several minutes. He just stands over her the candle illuminating her sleeping form. The clothing of their native land fits her like she was born to it in this lifetime. She looks like the queen she is meant to be. Right now she is a prisoner of her body, but soon she will be free"

I will do what I have to make certain the detective or his cursed Squire do not find us. If I find out they are getting close we can move at moment's notice any of my other bases of operation worldwide. The ones I would chose are every bit as Palatial but well protected as this one. I want her to live in Luxury and safety. It may seem like the proverbial gilded cage at first. IF I have to kill them, to protect her I will! They are expendable!

My daughter would not be pleased but there are others out there more than willing to marry my daughter. She is quite lovely. When my beloved and I have male heirs, any suitor Talia marries will only be needed until my son comes of age. I'm sure she will be a wonderful mother to my heir, after the entire detective is no fool. He would not let his SON marry a woman he found unsuitable. Then there was the Alien he did not approve of. I have seen her with children,
family and Richard's friends. My Sora was born to be the mother of my empire.

" It was so easy to get into the great Oracle's computers to find out information on my beloved. The Doctor's records were more of a challenge; my agents still found the information in her medical records.
Even if the information was flawed it was good enough that I was able to carry out her rescue before that sham of a wedding took place. By the time they find out things are not as they seem, she will be mine body and soul. The detective's own physician provided some of the most crucial ingredients of my plan and she doesn't know it.

" My beloved is so beautiful. She is both muscular and. curvaceous. Her hair is black silk. Despite her medial l history her skin is practically flawless. The few scars she has are faded. Her eyes shine like emeralds. It's not just her beauty that attracts me.
Her mind is as quick as her mentor's but she shows more compassion.

I must arrange a wedding soon. Yes, we were married Centuries ago, but she doesn't remember. When she does it will be a renewal of our vows. I could just take her right now but she is a lady. Her purity must be respected; She would not give herself to a man without a proper ceremony. This is why I had to take her before she was joined to the whelp. She would never betray her vows no matter hastily or half-heartedly she made them, especially if she made them in a house of worship with a member of the clergy.

I must call my special agent, and find out where our dupe stands legally. I do know the authorities regard this as a case of homicide. If the errant agent of the detective is freed, then we will have to go with our second plan. You will have to confess. I promise my friend you won't be imprisoned long and will be rewarded as we agreed on earlier. They must never find out she's alive.
