A Game Of Secrets

Season 8 - Ep ONE

Angie was terrified of the information she just discovered. Her eyes were glued to Nolan's. For a second, she thought she saw remorse but that was impossible. Nolan was pure evil. She killed without looking back. She would never feel sorry for something like this.  Angie was just hallucinating because of the fire.

Goldie was struggling against the ropes. She didn't want to die. Angie became alert. She had to get Goldie to safety no matter the cost. Angie balled her hands. She could feel her magic building. She formed a fireball and threw it at the witch on her left. To her surprise, the fiery lines stood up like walls, absorbed the blast and went down. Angie shook her head  in disbelief. They had planned everything. There was no way out.

A knife flew from nowhere and lander into the shoulder blade of the witch on Angie's right. "I guess we were on time". Sophia smirked. "That's depressing", Lin smiled, "I wanted to be fashionably late". Angie gave a big smile. They came here for her and Goldie.

The fire for the ritual was reducing. Lin threw another knife and the second witch went  down. "I hate witches". She frowned. The flames were almost extinguished at this point. Angie ran out of the star and let out a shout. The witches in front of her flew in different directions. The battle had began.

Tatiana was surprised at how smoothly the Axe was in her hand. She guessed Lin must have enchanted the weapons. All her pent up rage was released into the witches; one after the other.

Celine and Irene had settled for guns. They were not the best shots but they were doing damage and that was the important part. "You're pretty go at that". Lin commented before moving forward with her blades.

She was showing no mercy this time. These witches had a hand in her mother's death. They were nothing but evil. Lin never liked the idea of human sacrifices anyways. She stabbed a man in his forehead and pinned him to a tree. She waited for the feeling but it never came. She didn't feel regret or remorse.

Angie spotted Nolan through the crowd. Nolan had manage to find a weapon and she was moving close to Goldie. Angie was one hundred percent sure Nolan's plan wasn't to free the girl. Angie ran and kicked Nolan to the ground. Nolan doubled back in pain.

"Stay away from her". Angie said through gritted teeth. Nolan shook her head. "You don't get it", she mumbled, "I have to kill her". Nolan struggled to her feet but Angie forced her back to the ground. "Stay down!" She barked the order.

Just like before, ink started spewing from her eyes. "Angela, you have to help me", Nolan begged, "I know you won't let me die. Please honey". "Don't say another word!" Angie warned. Nolan was treading on dangerous waters. Nolan shifted closer. "I'll tell you the truth", she said, "I'll tell you everything". Angie shook her head and said bitterly, "no, you're not. I'll see it for myself".

Angie had half expected it to be like Tammy's case but it wasn't. Nolan's mind wasn't filled with just darkness. The memories were arranging to present themselves to her. She saw the day her great grandmother had died. The Nolan there was different. She didn't have a glint in her eyes. She was just broken.

Angie patiently watched the sobbing part to when Nolan saw the letter. She had seen this part before when she found the letter. The memory moved forward to Nolan finding a book that looked like the one they had. Nolan was still normal then.

The big change happened after Tatiana told her about Connor. Nolan was jealous of Tatiana. She had a crush on Connor and she had imagined the perfect love story for them. That was when the darkness came. The whisper kept telling her that she deserved Connor and Tatiana was betrayer.

Nolan had a good job of avoiding the voice until that day in the woods. When Daniel left to go get help, a witch had come towards her. The witch stretched her hand and was pouring a black mist into Nolan's heart. The witch managed to create the portal to the Shadow world and she jumped through. The missing gaps in her dad's story was finally filling up.

The witch came out of the Shadow world and stabbed Nolan in the neck. She used Nolan's blood to draw a star around her body. Nolan appeared in the Shadow world and the woman offered her a deal. A raise from the dead in exchange for obedience. Nolan made the deal.

The killing of her parents, Britney Keegan and many of her mates in school. All the memory wiping. Angie saw it all. The part that broke her heart was how Nolan deceived her Mom that she (Angie) had died. The young woman was so crushed that sheeft town without a note. Daniel came to the hospital on time and took Angie.

She saw how Nolan tore her own stomach after she found out she was pregnant with a baby boy after Dave. She had this stupid of a perfect family with a boy and a girl. Angie should have pulled out but she was tired of not knowing why everything was the way it was.

She lived through all her sorrows again. Felicity's death, Galvin's death and many others. After each kill, Nolan met up with a hooded figure. The little bag in her hands contained their pupils. She had no idea what the witches wanted it for and she wasn't going to ask questions. She had agreed to obedience for life.

Angie saw the order in which she killed and the different patterns. It had changed from just pupil loss to beheading. Through Nolan's memory, Angie could see that Nolan always took a part of their throat after the kill. She barfed in her mouth. Nolan had mutilated those bodies.

The memories fast forwarded to the night she killed Kimberly. For the first time, Nolan asked about her task. The male witch told her that they had a new ritual of power to perform. Nolan expressed her worries about their spell on her fading. That was when the Or of Light entered the discussion. The Or of Light was a vessel of pure light and Nolan was a vessel of pure darkness. Nolan was supposed to be dead so nature was imbalance.

Nolan quickly agreed to find the Or of Light so that she could still stay alive. The memories of Valentine's day rushed in. Nolan was asking about the werewolves. Angie was about to hear the reply when she was forced out of Nolan's head. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes.

Nolan was coughing blackish blue blood. She was almost dead which was why her memories were fading. Nolan looked at Angie with those eyes that were without the glint. "Please save me". Nolan coughed out. Angie cleared her throat and crossed her arms, "for everything that has a beginning has an end", she quoted her late great grandmother, "lest we break nature, we ought to tend. Goodbye Nolan".

The remaining part of Nolan's body turned black and her eyes had rolled to the back of her eye sockets. Angie cut the ropes and freed Goldie. "You okay?" She asked. Goldie nodded then shook her head. She left Angie's hands and stood firm. A golden light came out of her mouth. Goldie's body folded like paper on the floor. The golden light took the shape of a lady. A vessel of pure light. Angie recited in her mind.

'Everyone close your eyes!' Angie screamed into her friends and the moms heads. They all turned their backs while Goldie spread out her true form. The much was so bright that it vaporized the witches on the spot where they stood. Slowly, the light entered its body.

Goldie groaned slightly and held her head. "That was freaking awesome!" Lin squealed as she helped Angie with making Goldie stand upright. "Goldie!" It was Andreas and Vinci. "Daddy!" She shouted and ran to hug them.

Sophia looked around and sighed. "It's really over", she pulled Jo into a hug, "it's finally over". "Yes mom, it is". Jo confirmed. Tatiana held Mitchell while Celine and Irene held Lin. Angie just smiled at everyone. It was over. The secrets of Bresten were gone and they were going to move on with normal lives.

Jo's phone started ringing. She was glad that it was Grayson. That was a sign that he wasn't dead. She put the phone on loud speaker. "You finally called back", Jo sneered, "I'm just glad that you're not dead". "I might as well be". Grayson replied. That shocked all of them.

"Why would you say that?" Angie asked, "we just won. Nolan is gone, the coven is destroyed and Goldie is safe". "I'm happy for you. Truly. But I just lost my world". Grayson's voice broke as he said the next part, "Jason was kidnapped".
