AN: Sorry that I haven't uploaded in while. I've been busy with other things, and also I was just plain stuck with how I would approach this, but here's a short teaser for this new chapter. Hope you like it!
Chapter Five: When Loose Ends Tie Up
Cabe, and Adalind are in the dining room of the castle, and are shocked to see that Rebecca is alive.
"Rebecca, I, we thought that you were dead."Cabe said, shocked.
"I know, but I'm not dead."Rebecca told them.
"But how? Mom, I saw your body, you we clearly dead. The gask marks, knife wounds, I saw the whole thing."Adalind said as she took a step closer to her father, and Cabe put his hand on her shoulder while he had Kelly in his other arm.
"I faked it. I decided that I had enough of all these lies, and running from your father's family. I knew that someday he'd step up to them."Rebecca told them then walked over to Cabe.
Cabe put Kelley down, and Adalind stepped off to the side, but Kelly still stood at his side, and looked up at him as Rebecca approached him.
She looked him in the eye, she saw the confusion in his eyes, but she looked past that, and saw the hurt. She knew that she hurt him the day she left, with his unknown daughter, and went off to a new life, a better life.
He knew it was for the best, but it still hurt every morning when he woke up, and every night when he went to sleep. She was his first thought in the morning, and last thought at night. What could I have done to save her? But there she stood, right in front of him.
"Cabe, you know why I left. I left because you said it was for the better, and you promised, the minute this mess was over, that you would come back, for me, But instead, I came back, for you."Rebecca told him as she looked into his eyes.
Cabe didn't know what to do. He didn't know if should kiss her, and act like the part of faking her death never happened, or if her should yell at her, and kick her out.
Rebecca saw that he was confused, so she put her hand on his shoulder.
Cabe looked at her face then, back at her hand, on his shoulder. He was panicking, little droplets of sweat began to fall from his face, he was breathing heavily, as if he was teenage boy who's crush decided that she loved him. He looked back at her, but this time, looked into her eyes. He continued to breath heavily, and sweat profusely.
"Grandpa, are you okay?"Kelly asked his mentor as he looked up at him.
Cabe quickly glared down at Kelly then looked back at Rebecca.
"Cabe, it's just me."Rebecca told him.
He looked back at her hand then at Adalind, she shrugged her shoulders then Cabe finally made a decision.
He left.
AN: I promise that I won't leave you at long cliffhanger like this, I should have the full chapter published in a few days to a week.
