Lost Love

16. Secret and lies

Liz looked at her tearfully. Why you lied to me?

Lisa hesitated.

What is it Lisa? Beth asked.

I want the truth from now on. Who the hell am I? Liz shouted.

It's okay Liz, I will tell everything but the only reason I lied to you was to protect you from evil creature like him. But I failed you; I am sorry Liz, Lisa said.

Liz nodded angrily.

Felkon mocked at Lisa.

Are you happy now? You never care for anybody, do you? Said Lisa. Whatever happens she will never be yours so get the hell out of her house she yelled.

Yeah, my work here was done. I will give you girls some privacy; he winked at Liz and went away.

Everybody was tensed. Finally Lisa broke the silence. You are the heir of Scotia she said.

What? Liz was speechless. My father ..is?

Yes, your father was the king Galerius and you mother was Queen Anna, Lisa said.

Beth was giving what the hell! reaction.

The legendary king was my father? Liz breathed heavily. Is this truth?

Yes but if you doubt me, touch me you can read my thoughts if you concentrate on me.

What? How?

Remember your mother was a powerful Spansee witch back then, her blood flows in your veins Lisa said.

Oh god, it's too much for me to handle. I need some air. Liz went to porch and she was reciting everything in her mind.

I am sorry I did this to you Liz. I know you never believe me again. But what I say now is true.

No, I trust you Lisa. Beth didn't know anything about me right.

Yeah she made herself to forget the past about you when you came to live on earth said Lisa.

So she knew me when I was in Scotia?

Yeah. Only the members of the secret community know about you said Lisa.

Did Steve know me?

Yes Lisa nodded.

So any way my father and my mother were dead right?

Yeah.

But it was said that I went with my mother the day when she died. Is that true?

No the legend was true to some extent said Lisa. You never went with your mother that day. She never returned to Scotia so your father send troops to find her but they brought her blood soaked robe and her sword back. They couldn't find her body. So the witches used their magic to locate her but then they found that she was killed by Black and Drake.

So your father took revenge on them; he killed Black. After that he came to a witch named Bella. He asked her to protect you. Your father has many enemies; everybody wants to kill him but they couldn't; he was powerful so they wanted you as a bait to defeat him. So your father didn't have much choice. He asked Bella to erase every memory from you. Since it was the king's command she couldn't deny him; even though it was a dark magic she did that to protect you.

Your father knew that Scotia needs you one day so he has to do this to you. The magic consumed Bella and your father.

Bella? My mother? asked Beth.

Yes said Lisa.

Your mother?

So they both were dead? asked Beth.

Yeah. Then you were raised as an orphan girl in the league. I stood by you all the time. After Steve died Scotia was no longer the safest place for you. So we made you to leave Scotia. We made you to believe the prophesy.

What? So it was a lie. No Liz cried. Steve..!

No, it was said that you will be reunited with him again. But we didn't know when and how. But we couldn't leave you like that. Lisa was crying now.

You were beautiful Liz; you are extraordinary. Your beauty could attract many people. We didn't want that for you. So we changed you to look like a normal mortal girl. Beth wants to leave with you so she willingly sacrificed her memories for you and went with you to protect you all these years.

I am so sorry my child. I didn't have any option so I lied to you, Lisa said.

It's okay Lisa. You guys protected me all these days. I trust you and I owe you my life Liz said.

Beth looked at Liz.

I am sorry for your mother Beth said Liz.

I lost her a long time ago. In all my life I meant you more than her; my mother sacrificed her life to save you so it's my honor to save you said Beth.

They hugged cheerfully.

Now it's time for you to come to Scotia said Lisa.

Liz nodded happily.
