Forgotten Twin

Last Truth

            Sage
           
            I stand in the background. Watching how my love has taken its full form. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Its figure was elegance. Its silhouette alone was eyes widening. I did not care how he look less human than the rest his was. He was mine. He been with me for so long. Encouraging me to do such greatness. And even though this was not our plan. I couldn't be so much happier than I am now. Seeing him standing tall. Showing everyone the power of greatness we can do together.
           
            He tells all and we don't feel any kind of shame. I was proud of every single thing I had accomplish. And it was all going to work out in the end. We had a small plan that had a twist of turns. But our main goal stayed the same. It was just going to be us. We can do so much greatness after this. After Elizabeth is finally gone for good this time. She won't keep standing in our way.
           
            It anger me to see how she doesn't react to him. How she believes that she can defeat us. We were so much stronger alone. Little long together. She may be this over powering gift of a witch. But everyone knows her. They know when it comes to an audience. The full pressure of being more than just simple. She will crack under pressure.
           
            And he loves that. The weakness in the eyes. The glory it brings to take the life that shouldn't of been breathing. Bring all balances to us again. Only the stronger great ones like us. We will run this world. We will take it back from all the others. Its time the witches are feared. We are the strong ones. Only we can do such things with the whip of our wrist. No other kind can.
           
            Him touching her brings a crawling feeling to me. I love to see him in action. I will love him more to see him kill her. But seeing him touch her. And she seems to enjoy it. That f***ing worm of degrade child! How dare she display a smile. She should be kneeled down before us. I wanted to scream and kill her again. Just for the joy this time.
           
            The child tries to prove how much power she can concur. Even with her new gift. F***! How can she keep being given things! Her eyes glow from her vampire side. Her disgusting half breed. Only made me wish I had drown her sooner. It was sicking to see her in such way. Why won't this child just give up and die. She always finds a way to disappoint. Now look what she brought on to this family!
           
              Her little party tricks was cute. But they had only pissed him off more. And I whisper in his ears. "Get it over with. Kill her already."
           
            He stood tall before everyone. "Yes my love." He whispered back to me. I inhale as I watch from behind. I await for the peace. I have been waiting for this for so d*** long. Finally the time as come.
           
            He strive to her. With the hunger in his eyes. His beautiful red eyes that has only been seen by mine. I hate to see him looking deep into her red matching eyes. Yet this will be the only time. Soon they be mine again. Only mine. Soon I will get to graze my love. To feel him fully as mine. His scales to touch my body and hold me in the arms he wished for. To kiss me into a forever future we hopes for.
           
            Taking acting he bring his arms around. And I see he was gonna crash the girl. Squeezing the life out of her. Prefect. But then in a wrenching act. She had him in locked. The agony pain I had to hear him cry. Her hands squeezing his insides. I feel the agony through me. He was hurt. And she went deeper and deeper in him. Making him fall before her. Making him kneel at her feet. I wanted to run and help him. But his cries froze my action.
           
            "I can make you stronger. Give you more than they have given you. Allow me to be with the ones you call yours. I'll walk freely. And you will feel no pain. No fear for another kind before you. I'll give you more. More power. More greatness to bring to is all. I can do it. Allow me to do it. Set me free child. Let me walk with you. Become one with me. Side by side. Free me child. Free me." He says again and again.
           
            But she did not care. Her eyes had a wickery look in them. All she had was anger and wanted a life. I can see it. Her beast side had been feed and was controlling her. Those blood sucking thangs always goes for the kill. And she was gonna take her first.
           
            "Fight her. Don't beg! Fight and kill her!" I shouted in his ears.
           
            "I, I, I." He stutter. Too hurt to speak. "Love you."
           
            As she drinks the blood from him. I feared it will give her strength. And in a quick act. She tears his head right off. Throwing him right at me. And I stare at his head. The ground shock in waves. As his large beast body that hold at least 4 big men. Just like my Caden. It falls to the ground. Not moving a inch. I dropped to the ground. Kneels to my lover. Holding his beautiful face in my hand. My tears cover his as I caress his.
           
            "No, no , no, no. Not you. It wasn't time. Not us. Baby no. Please no. No." I cried. Looking in his eyes as I wait for it to flicker at me. Just one sign. Something to tell me its all okay. "I'll fix it. I promise. I will fix it baby. Come back again. Okay. Its okay."
           
            In such little time. His eyes dim. And the lights went out. Breaking my heart. I hear the pin drop from with in. And my fist balled up. Holding him tight to my chest. Rocking with him.
           
            "No, no, no!" I cried.
             
              My grip was loosening. And I look to see him fading away. Dark ashes flying away. Vanishing for good. And once again. No plan for this outcome. I had lost yet another love of my life. All in the hands of HER! Just by a blink of her eyes. She always manage to do this to me. And I am sick and tired of this. She will not take another from me. Not after everything for saken thing I have done to just be here. I will not let her go on anymore.
             
              "My child. My sweet baby. You f***ing killed it. My every god d*** thing I had worked on. You ruined it you monster!" Lifting my head up. I put all my weight on my feet. Taking the steps I need to finish this. If I had knew at the beginning. That it will only take me. Only me. To get rid of Elizabeth. I would of been done a long f***ing time ago.
           
            "Ohh. Am I sorry." Pathetically placing her hand over heart. "Did I kill someone that you love Sage. Someone who you truly cared about." Sticking her bottom lip out.
           
            I walked slowly to her. Wanting to just slice her in half. "You are always a mistake. Only causing a problem."
           
            "You are the problem. And everyone can see that now. So just come clean. And just maybe. Just maybe. You will get a whip for punishment." She threaten at me.
           
            I stop my pace. And guffaw at her. Unable to hold it back. "What the h*** do you expect me to say?"
           
            "Tell the truth. Say it was you. This whole time it was you." She retreated back at me.
           
            "What, you want me to apologies for what I did?" I asked.
           
            She nods. Holding a light smile on.
           
            "Mhh I see." I said. "You want me to tell everyone how much I had scarified over my time. Again and again. Making every call that needed to be done. Because I knew what the price was made to make it in this world. I did it all. It was all me. Every single god d*** thing." I shouted. With widen arms. Smiling proudly.
           
            Walking up I swang my hands up. Throwing electric lights at her. But she block them good. Barely an scratch.
           
            "I did everything I had to. And I thought you were worth it too. But I was wrong! I should of left you died in that nurse arms." I snarl.
           
            "Ohh poor Sage! How can the world pity you more. From all the god d*** suffering you had endure. Even what you caused others." And her eyes turning red. Letting her anger building up.
           
            "You don't understand. None of you people f***ing understand." Circling around. Making little eye contact. "I may had done thing for my sinful ways. I do them for a reason. As we all do. That f***ing life Elizabeth. A child like you wouldn't understand."
           
            Again I try another spell. Looking for a close object. And throwing it at her. And again she dodge it this time.
           
            "Whatever I had to do. I f***ing did it. I DID IT! FOR EVERYONE! Life comes with many regrets. And you choice to let it effect you. But you won't. Because it makes you weak!"
           
            "Being weak is not a death sentence. You were lied to. Weakness can be powerful. Its the care and emotions that hides in it. That what strive us to the power even you can express. " She said and I had to just laugh at her silly little mind.
           
            "Of course it is. Life comes with many sacrifices. Barely the joy you expect. Only the few will get it. The rest are too blind and dumb to what us great ones have. We all can't be hero dear. Theres a villain at every corner. And the villain always win." I chuckle. "Besides. Being a villain is so much fun. I mean can you feel that deep dark feeling my daughter. Its good isn't it." Mocking her for what she has become.
           
            She said nothing. As her tense body drops. And her eyes goes back to its green color. She took in what I say. Knowing it is true. She tried to be a hero. Yet to only become a villain. Oh how beautiful the outcome come.
           
            I turn to show my new gift. Holding a black obit in my hand. It swirls in a storm. And my eyes darken within. My soul forms a heat. Ready to use my powers on her.
           
            "We all suffer. We all make the suffering. Some of us just like it more than the other. And soon if not already. You will enjoy it. Because you are my child. Just look at you." I smile. Knowing the truth in her new function. She will hate herself forever now. Maybe even walk out in the sun to end it all. WIN, WIN B****!
           
            With a taunting voice. Her eyes switch back. And in a loud scream I was thrown back. And I try walking forth. Pushing through the wind. I grab my obit and enlarge it more. Dropping it quickly on the ground. It cracks. Releasing the dark, gloomy mist inside. It has a poison in it that can make all witches sick and near death. Making the room black.
           
            But sweet old Elizabeth of all goody gift. She blew a smoke to clear it. Stepping on it to destroy its activation. It was completely shattered now. And the mist disappeared.
           
            "God you are dull. Have some fun. Can't you just stop whining. You always have to be a drama queen. Its not about you all the time." I sigh.
           
            A gust of wind blew harder. Forming over her. And she rose her hands up. Throwing them at me. And I am thrown up in the air. Being pin to a wall. I couldn't move. I try again and again. But she was stronger than I fought. Holding me hostage. And again I see that hunger in her eyes.
            .
            .
           
            Liv
           
            I can feel this dark swirl of a new me inside. I know I should fear it. I know that I should probably just fight it. Not let it out. Don't let it control me. But how great it feels to be one with it. As I am me. The witch with great gift. The vampire who's consume by darkness. I was the all fear kind. And it felt so god d*** f***en wonderful. I love the feeling it thrive in me. That little button that I hit. It gives me the boost. And when we are trigger over our limit. It was a whole other stage. And I seat back and watch myself destroy whats in front of me. My emotions was cut. But my motivation was over whelming. And I will do whatever to fulfilling that feeling.
           
            I was tired of giving her time and time again to just admit what she done. To admit how wrong she has been all these years. She still had that face. That over powering, spoil, princess look. Blaming others for her own god d*** actions. Just because of who she is. Doesn't surpass her reasons.
           
            She laughed in our face. She joked about my death. And she just kept pushing and pushing. That switch inside broke. And I seat back. Let the new me do what is needed. And what a goddess blessing sight it was. Each spark was sweeter good. To bring oh mother dearest to her ends.
           
            I had Sage pin up to the wall. She had no where to go now. She couldn't use her dark magic on me. And I had a good feeling she won't ever. Hah, its not like it can do hurt me anyways. I had my own darkness. And it was more powerful than hers.
           
            "Just admit it. Admit your never cared. How self luring you are." I spat.
           
            "I cared. I always cared." She grunted.
           
            My fist ball hard and small drips of blood dropped to the ground.
           
            "You lie. You always f***ing lie. Just tell the truth. It wouldn't kill you for being a mother for once. So just say it." Feeling my chest cave. I started to breath hard. Growling at her.
           
            "I was the prefect mother. I did whatever I had to do for my child. I gave my daughter everything. I loved. I protected. I taught in varies ways. I made her the prefect image. And I did it. To make sure we kept that life."
           
            "Even if it cause you a failure. You only loved her. You cared for what image she made for you." Knowing she only talks about Meredith.
           
            Her eyes darted at me. And she stopped restraining my hold. Her breathing caught rhythm. And her body relax. Everyone silences more. Feeling the thin air.
           
            "Weak. We all knew. What a pity life was given. Words spread like wildfire. A decision was made. Chosen to easer. I did try to make a change within you. But you resisted. I had no choice. And I stand by that." She said so easily. Like it was nothing. Absolutely nothing.
           
            "Your ways were wrong. Every choice was wrong. Your ancestors were wrong. All of you turn your back." I said softly.
           
            "You were lucky. I saved you from being burn alive. Thats the road you were leading to. You should thank me. Thank your mother for her sacrifice!" She yelled at me.
           
            And I swang a thick wind at her. Practically slapping her in the face. Hearing its hit. It echos in the room. Along with her pain of groan. A trail of blood drip from her nose. She tighten her face. Trying her hardest to be stronger. Then I hear Mery cried to stop. But I was pass that Liv. I focus on Sage only.
           
            "I suffer under your hand. I suffer under all these eyes. I cried for help again and again. And no one! Not a god d*** spirt or soul answer my prayer. I followed. I listened. I waited and got nothing. I was alone for years. I died in my own pool of dirty and blood at the age of 6." Holding back my tears. My hand shakes.
           
            "You didn't try hard enough. You are. And always will be the weaker one. I made it worth for my one child. I have and will always give her all." Sage was speaken cold words.
           
            "I was your child too! Just a f***ing child. A child." The ground shook a bit from my rage. And I hear a soft cry for me from my dear sister. "I needed a mother too. I needed my sister. My father. My ancestors. My coven. I need life. Love. And it all was taken away. Just a god d*** child. All alone in pit of darkness." I closed my eyes. Letting the tear roll back in my head.
           
            "Every single person has turn their backs. I lived with that. I learn to not fight for those not worth it. I have the dark trail of memories for that. I lost more than what I can hold on to. I have the blood. I have the scars. Everything awful punishment you thought will teach me. It did make me strong. But not for you and your witchy ways." Taking a deep breath. "It was for me and the one who truly cared and loved me. A goddess who sees me as me. Stronger than that beast your loved."
           
            "I should of whipped you harder. Left you there more than I did. But your father always convince me to have mercy. Yet it still got us no where." She said.
           
            I nod my head. And smirk a frown. Feeling nothing at all. Just emptiness. There was nothing left here.
           
            "Harder." I whispered.
           
            I looked down and grabbed the knife that she created. Flipping it around. "This was painful. It hurt. I'll give you that. " Parting my hand pass the blade. Cutting my hand open. I hold it up. Showing how fast I can heal. "Its just as powerful as me."
           
            "You won't last with this gift. You couldn't even make it with child play." She chuckled at me. As if to demind my choice.
           
            I looked up at her. Watching her breathing. She kept a brave face. But I smell her fear. I see her body shaking at the sight of the knife. Deep down she knew. She knew.
           
            "I'll return it. I'll make the peace you been seeking for. The ancestors will be pleased. And the coven will be stronger for it." Holding the knife back up right.
           
            Sage looks at me. Puzzle face. Wondering what I meant. And I know many others around thought the same. I'm sure a few hold the answer in their head.
           
            "You'll just have to make that last sacrifice. And I Elizabeth. Daughter of Sage Marshall. The forgotten twin. Will end the suffering." I called out.
           
            "Don't! Livey don't! She's our mother." Mery called out. She tried to run up but was hold back for her safety. "She made her wrongs. Don't! Just don't!"
           
            I turn. Not dropping the knife. Head tilted. "And I was her daughter! Did I not deserve love above all as well? I was the one left behind and forgotten." I snapped. Taking a deep breath. I calm down my raid of emotion. "She was your mother. And she killed your sister. Your father. Everything sweet and dear around."
           
            "It doesn't have to be like this. Livey." Mery cried. And if I wasn't so deep into my way. She may of switch my button on. But she didn't. Just the pure look we gave each other. She knew it wasn't worth a fight.
           
            "We are not children anymore. Past is the past. The pain was already done. Damage has burned its flesh. Leaving its ugly mark." Mery nod at me. Tears cover her face. She steps back.
           
            And I turn to face mother dears once more. She seem so comfortable up there. Like this was just a play. Like she'll walk after this. "Make your choice Elizabeth. Dealt with suffer? Or make it." She said.
           
            "It was already made once I died a few minutes ago. This was just fun mother. Now be a good girl." I said as gently as I can with a smile.
           
            "Weak! You won't ever do it! Weak! We all see it. You are the nothing and will always be nothing little girl. You can never.." As Sage yelled out her last words. I grew bored.
           
            I yield my arm back. Chanting a small spell on the knife. Making it a dark cast to endure more pain. With the force of wind. The knife went fling in the sky. Aiming at Sages heart. Seeing how many tiny little cuts cover her body. She gasp in pain. Blood pouring at her mouth. Her eyes widen with joy for me.
           
            "Mother!" Mery cried loud. Aunt Mable hold her. Shielding her from the sight.
           
            "Allow me to offer you a quicker suffering mother." I take a stance. Close my eyes to center myself. Hands upright on both sides.
           
            I call for the wildfire she say I hold. Having flames covering my hands. Opening my eyes. I see her barely breathing I can hear her heart racing as she feel agony pain. I brought my arms up and set her on fire. The flames cover her. People cry and yelp in shock. The scream itself from her was heart breaking. But not to me. I felt nothing. But a joy.
           
            I waited until she stop. Watching her body dropped and looked nothing more than a burn corpse. Her smell was wrenching but the sight was glories. As I watch her corpse. Making sure I hear no heart beat. My body was still in rage. I try calming down but it was too much. I feel so triggered. It was like it would never end. A bubbling growl inside silently to myself.
           
            "Livey. I'm sorry." Mery called out. Running up to me. Hugging me so tight. I stood there. Unable to hold her back.
           
            *Ring Ring*
           
            My focus comes back as my phone rings. I didn't look at who called. I just answered it.
            "Hello." I said very softly.
           
            "Liv! Its Mason! Is everything okay?" He said.
           
            "It is now." Still feeling that bubble of rage.
           
            "Are you hurt? Travis was worry. We both are?"
           
            "Why are you calling me Mason?" I didn't mean for it to sound bad. I was just not in a cheery mood.
           
            "I'm calling to check in on you. Travis is still fighting. I have to be quick and help. But I need you.."
           
            "I'm coming!" I said fast. Hearing that they need help.
           
            "No Liv. If your fine. Go home. Its dangerous here." He said. He was concern but I didn't care.
           
            "I can handle some wolves. The pack needs their luna. I'm done here. I'm coming and thats not a question!" I yelled.
           
            "I'll pick you up. Stay there!" I knew if I said yes. He wouldn't take me to the fight.
           
            "I can drive my god d*** self. You stay!" I snapped back at him.
           
            "Liv! Travis isn't going to be happy if.." I cut him off again.
           
            "I said i'm coming!" I yelled once more and hang up.
           
            I closed my eyes and try to feel for Travis. I didn't get much. But knew I had to leave.
           
            "Livey. Lets go. I'll drive us." Mery grab my hand. Squeezing it. And look at her. Making my red eyes shift back. Yet that bubbling feeling didn't go away. It grew.
           
            "No. You stay. I'm going. Its my pack." I said.
           
            "And your my sister. I can help if you need me. And if I drive. You'll have time to think of a plan." I gave her a look. Shaking my head no. But Mery haves her award wining looks. Telling me she coming regardless.
           
            "Fine. But you stay back until I say so." Nods and agrees.
           
            "Elizabeth Marshall!! Do not leave yet!!" A elder calls out. Both Mery and I turn fast. I was still lingering in my rage. And fought not to lash out onto them right now.
           
            I waited. Thinking that they will press charges. Knowing I just kill not just a witch of power. A high prestress. Trapped multiple elders. And many more. Even if they do. I had to help my pack first.
           
            "As witness. We have talked it out. We have seen all evidences. And took everything from this day accountable." One elder said firmly.
           
            "Sadly there had been more than one lost of fellow witches today. But with all hands and eye witnesses." Another elder added.
           
            "We took Sage Marshall in fault of it all. Guilty of all crimes and more. And in that so. We gave a victim of her crime to set her ends. Meaning your charges were dropped. And nothing forth will come." The young women said.
           
            My eyes widen. Shock for what I heard. They had listen and felt their sympathy. Letting me have the chance of life I can now. I was free. I was free.
           
            "We wish you a good life Elizabeth." A elder said. All they bow respectfully to me.
           
            "Thank you." I said. Feeling so odd. I didn't think today would end up like this. But i'm happy that it had.
           
            "Come on. We need to go now." Mery reminded me. And we hurry to the car. I linked Masons phone. And Mery race down every turn until we got there.
