Epilogue
Pemberley 1812
They were alone for maybe two minutes, kissing wildly. William lay on top of Lizzie, caressing her everywhere while he pressed his aroused sex against her. Lizzie caressed his bum and wrapped her legs around him, wanting him inside her. With every other kiss, both would say, "I love you, love you."
William was trying to figure out how to undress Lizzie when someone knocked on the door. William grumbled but went to open it while Lizzie chuckled, looking at his wild hair that she had messed up even more.
Thomas Bennet's mother was at the door. "Sorry, but I realized something. May I come in?" He nodded and looked back. Lizzie was already sitting.
"William, what happened to your mother, I mean the one here? And do you have her print? I mean her portrait. It is important," Ilsa asked.
"An infection killed my mother here; nothing could be done. In the future, she died of something in her brain. It was sudden. Why? And yes, I do have pictures, but they are in my machine. You said you could charge it, so here it is." William gave her the notebook.
She touched it, waited a few minutes, and the notebook powered up. "Please, whenever we have time, show me how to do it." He requested.
William went to photos, opened a family album, and showed them several pictures of his mother, father, George's father, him, and George Jr., The latter when he was younger. He also had pictures of his mother and Aunt Catherine when they were little.
"Hmm, wait," he went back and forth. "Richard was right. I think George looked a lot like my Aunt Catherine when they were little. Poor my Aunt, it must be true; I never noticed before; I will explain. I also realized my mother here was the same in both lives, but they had some slight differences in coloring, their mouths, and height."
"That is what I thought. I know who she is; it took me a while. She is not dead, and she is dangerous. I believe she died both times because her accomplice, your instructor, thought it would be best. Lady Kræ, aka Lucas, wanted Aka Anne, who was Lady Anne, gone before murdering your father and George Sr. in both periods. I must make sure she is accounted for; please wait." Ilsa asked them.
She pressed the mark around her wrist several times. "Your weapons instructor's reasons for bringing you across are jealousy and rancor, but here is more than that. Your birth mother in the future might be in danger; you see, she is in Council and has been investigating the one who was your mother here. It seems someone who works for the Council is a traitor, allied with those who trade with half-demons. I thought that was her, but I wasn't sure because she had considerably modified her appearance. We cannot modify our physical appearance for more than a short cycle, but we can appear older or younger at will. However, it could change if she had been working with half-demons, and they helped her. After all, demons can modify their and others' appearance with ease. It would seem one of the ones causing this havoc helped the other. I think the one under investigation at the Council wanted to distract us by taking our beloved children away."
A light appeared on the wristband embedded in her skin, and Ilsa looked at the symbols. "No, she cannot be found; she is missing. I must be right. She might be trying to help her accomplice. We missed the obvious. And I see a connection; she despises all of us. It is a long story. Elizabeth, let me touch you. We might have detected life in your womb. But sometimes it doesn't stay." She went by Lizzie and looked disappointed.
"I don't feel it now, but it might be too soon. Nevertheless, you two are not to go anywhere alone. Now, I am wondering if there are any others involved. I hope not. Who knows what else has happened? Anyway, it won't be long." Ilsa added.
"I think it is also related with my father here and George's father, who you say are twins, and perhaps with the parents of Aunt Catherine there. In the future, Aunt Catherine was in love with George Wickham's father, Elias, and my mother sent someone on his way. I think my Aunt is George's mother. It might have also happened during this time. Who knows, but this time, in the past, it was different; I think my Aunt Catherine loved my father. If Lady Anne were who you said, then she was an actress. But I know my father here loved George as his son, who probably was." Darcy wondered aloud. "I never liked her much. She was cold and detached."
"Who said there has to be new life in my womb for us to cross? I know we had to have meld on one body as we have, but why the life in my womb?" Lizzie asked; she almost knew the answer.
"I am not sure. I think because your bodies died here. We could preserve your essence and save it for the next body. My partner, I mean my husband, found that out. Let me ask." Ilsa pressed the band mark around her wrist. When the symbols flashed back, she smiled, then pushed the band.
"The Council, hmm, ah, yes, the Archives caretaker, she is the one who informed us. The one we think was your mother here. How convenient, so it might be a lie. But what is certain is that you two must cross first. When you are there, you can leave your bodies behind, and come back to both times, then take everyone back simultaneously. We need to make sure it is safe. You could die trying to go across. My Lisabe, you are so smart, always." Ilsa hugged Lizzie. "We accepted the findings. The problem now is that what she told us might be true, and you could die crossing unless you had new life. We will know soon. Vilhelm's parents are sending a couple of our Enforcers to help guard you. Now rest."
Lizzie asked, "Are you sure we didn't leave part of our energies behind? We don't remember. If so, maybe this is a twisted game. What if Lady Kræ, aka Charlotte, is used as a pawn? Aka, Lady Anne looked for someone resentful with access to all of us. She could have hidden all our bodies. I understand our bodies here are a clone, right? She is the real leader and hasn't shared all the information with Lady Kræ, which has been going on forever. I think she wanted insurance in case she was caught. Maybe she will hold us hostage, for her freedom and safety? I think that would be a possibility. Maybe the same with the Bingley sisters." Lizzie looked thoughtful.
"That is brilliant. But that would mean someone at one of the gates is working with them, one who prepares us for 'travel' across time and space and integrates those coming to add the memories.
But it is concerning; it is imperative she is caught. I will report your idea. When she knew she could possibly be compromised, she decided it was time to act. If someone is involved at the gates, it means they are keeping the suspended bodies in an official storage. After a brief goodbye, she left.
When she was gone, William remembered, "You are brilliant. I agree with your idea. By the way, I know why Charles had to leave with his parents. I remember now. He has been after Jane since we were quite young. Her parents have agreed she will be the bride of the one who is Richard now and his cousin Bartlett. They are my cousins there as well. They have a reputation for brutality in duels and warned Charles to stop flirting with Jane. They have hurt several of those that crossed them, maiming one. You know how we are. We enjoy, hmm, war, conflict, fights, and the such." He smiled.
"Great, now, where were we?" Lizzie grabbed his hand to pull him to her, wanting to have his body close to hers. She couldn't wait to have him inside, moving.
"First, let's undress," William said, "Hmm, I remember." He pulled a small tube out of his pocket, pointed at both, and their clothes came off. She saw how aroused he was and moaned. He was a beautiful man; looking at him, a flash of George crossed her eyes, but she dismissed it. Then, she grabbed his hand and pulled him over her, wrapping her legs around his waist. Feeling his arousal against her, she nearly climaxed. She moved her hand to caress his belly, then moved it around his sex, making him groan.
"Let's hurry. No more interruptions. Besides, who knows how long we will be allowed to stay here, and we will be quite young and forget it all when we are back." He caressed her face before kissing her. "Biscuit, don't let anyone in."
Biscuit barked and sat looking at the door and near the windows.
Longbourn 2022
When Thomas and his daughters returned from the private clinic, they heard the news. Charles saw Jane, and his heart beat faster. She was an older version of his love, or at least. She looked a lot like the one he loved. The older woman's eyes were fixed on him, trying not to smile.
Although he heard Richard's growl, he noticed Bartlett was not concerned; instead, he was staring at Mary. In their time Mary was two years younger than him. Interesting, maybe he would only need to fight Richard. Richard pointed his finger at him, warning him, but Charles duly ignored him.
He stood up to greet Jane, "I didn't meet you earlier, Charles Bingley;" he grinned, and Jane smiled back but then went to Richard, who smirked at Charles. There is
time, Charles thought.
Thomas had news for everyone, but Lady Catherine went first. "We hadinformation. The one who was my sister here, Anne, might be an enemy. I don't know why she wants to hurt me, but maybe my parents willunderstand. To be truthful, I don't remember much. I do have a confession for everyone; it is only fair. George, my dear, you are my son, mine, and Elias, your father. I have been in love with Elias since I was a little girl. He was nearly three years older than me. We have been lovers since I was sixteen; I thought we were in love. I was in the Uni, Anne, who was not yet married, invited an actress when she went to Pemberley to introduce to Elias. I know she wanted to hurt me. Elias married her in Las Vegas, unoriginal. He told me he must have been drugged.
Nevertheless, he stayed with her. I was pregnant, and he offered to raise you. What choice did I have? I was barely 18, and my parents didn't know; maybe I should have told them." Her eyes filled with tears.
George stood and went to hug her. "I like that. I always wished you were my mother. Ursula was cold and told me I was adopted against her wishes." He looked at peace.
Everyone was quiet, everyone but Georgiana. "William never liked our mother. And I don't remember her, but Mrs. Reynolds said she wasn't a nice person. I am happy to know the truth. I am also happy she is not my real mother."
Inga had news, "In the past, it was much of the same. But at that time, Catherine was in love with George Darcy; they were in love. Too bad William's mother was found in his room, and he had to marry her. Lady Catherine gave her child, George, named after his father, to her sister, who forced George Darcy to give him to Elias and his wife. Aka Anne Darcy is under investigation."
Ilsa had information for Catherine, "Dear, err, Catherine, we know the why. You will be in a union with the twins when you are older, where we come from, as agreed between the parents. The twins were known as George Darcy and Elias Wickham here. Aka Anne Darcy has a daughter, and she tried to arrange for a union between her daughter and the twins but was rejected. All your parents are from the elite, and many aspire to join our circle. We are the elite because of our abilities." She took a break to move by Catherine and held her hand,
"Moreover, your future union agreement dates to a time before your birth. Your parents are good friends with the twin's parents, second cousins. Now, the nasty females, aka Anne Darcy and aka Charlotte Lucas are hiding, but we don't know if aka Anne Darcy is back here. She has other problems such as dealings with half-demons; she is a traitor. I think several deaths are her fault, she plotted since long ago. If she is a traitor she will be sentenced to die. She must have told the demons information to help them murder several of us when it was possible."
Thomas stood by his mother; "I have news, Fanny is coming back, but we will have a permanent guest, General Whitman, meanwhile he going to retire. He and Fanny, readily, agreed to my proposal. It makes me happy to keep my family together. I know that Fanny deserves happiness, which I also discussed with my daughters, and they agreed. Furthermore, they are remembering our lives, and know we will be gone. They agreed they won't marry anyone from here. For now we must be on guard. We don't know if there are more in this conspiracy, or who is the leader. William and Lizzie might be coming soon. It seems as if some of the information we had was erroneous considering the sources."
George Wickham's face lighted up, "I hope they can forgive me."
"I believe they will. We think your Weapons instructor, Lady Kræ manipulated you. She knew how you feel about Lisabe. What you don't know is what Vilhelm, I mean William's parents have planned. They have not made it public since your parents murder has not been resolved. We believe Aka Anne Darcy, was behind's your parents' deaths. Your mother and Vilhelm's mother were investigating who has been feeding information to the Half-Demons. It was the reason for their deaths. Sorry to tell you Georgie I think she is the leader, but who knows. For now, we need to keep you all safe." Ilsa said and told them what Lizzie thought.
Thomas Bennet agreed with Lizzie, so did others. Richard said, "I have remembered a lot, but I am as to how we came or what happened before. A fear of the death penalty would be a strong incentive to take hostages."
After a while Jane asked, "What trackers, we wanted to track you. You were always born near a portal, same with William and the twins . Finding you you are so different wasn't difficult. Only some of you were born several times. We assisted, and I believe aka Anne assisted. She wanted to keep an eye on you. She hasn't wanted you gone forever, but to keep us worried. She knows destroying one of you would be her death sentence if she were caught. The sentient gates showed us where you had gone. We have also decided each one of you will have a band like Catherine's. In any case a lifetime here is comparable to less than a week cycle where we come from, and we must keep you alive." Inga, Lizzie's real mother, answered.
"For now we wait. It won't be long. We must be vigilant until we find the ones behind it." Inga said. "I am hungry, how about we find some food. I hear William and Lizzie are well. Time will go by fast."
They all agreed. It was good knowing the truth and knowing the Lizzie and William were still alive.
