Chapter 16: The Truth Comes Out!

Real World!
     Lynda got home and walked inside. She saw Kendra cleaning up the kitchen. "Hey, is Kierra asleep?" Lynda asked. "Yeah, she was out like a late." Kendra replied and Lynda smiled. "Thanks, for everything." Lynda stated and Kendra nodded. "Of course." Kendra agreed. Lynda walked up stairs and to her room and smiled when she saw her fiancee, Gilbert. He was sitting on the bed, waiting for her. "Hey." Gilbert greeted. "Hi." Lynda greeted. She leaned down and gave him a kiss. She took off her jacket and shoes. Then her shirt and pants. She grabbed her ocean blue nightgown that goes to her knees with spaghetti straps. She laid down in bed and put the cover over her. "How was work?" Gilbert asked. "Good, not too much to deal with." Lynda replied. "That's good." Gilbert stated and Lynda nodded. "Yeah." Lynda agreed. They started kissing and it started getting really heated.
     "Lynda!" Kendra greeted. They both sighed as they pulled away from each other. "This better be an emergency." Lynda stated and Gilbert laughed. "Let's see, then." Gilbert stated. They walked down the stairs as they held hands. But then they saw they saw Marvin at the door way with Kierra. Lynda let go of Gilbert's hand and walked over to them. "What's going on?" Lynda asked. "Kierra was vandalizing with Peter's spray cans." Marvin replied and Lynda turned to look at her little sister. "Kierra, is that true?" Lynda asked. "Maybe." Kierra replied. "Go in your room, we'll handle this." Lynda stated and Kierra walked up stairs.
     Rachel walked to her room and saw Gary by an open window. "What the hell are you doing here?" Rachel asked. "We need to talk." Gary replied and Rachel shook her head. "No, I can't talk to you." Rachel stated. "You made assumptions between me and Veronica." Gary stated and Rachel rolled her eyes. "You didn't even try to deny it." Rachel stated. "Because I couldn't tell you what was really going on." Veronica stated and Rachel sighed. "What do you mean?" Rachel asked. "Go to my house tomorrow at noon, and bring Rhonda and Cody." Gary stated. "I don't know." Rachel stated. "Just think about it, okay?" Gary asked and Rachel nodded as she sighed. "Okay." Rachel agreed and Gary climbed out.

Flashback!
     Snowa still hadn't come home since she stormed out, and that was two days ago. It was her training night with Dracula, so she walked in and in to his study. "Dracula, sir. I'm here and I'm ready. Snowa stated. "I can see that." Dracula stated. "Should we start?" Snowa asked. "Come in, deary." Dracula replied. Snowa walked in and closed the door behind. "Do you mind if I ask you a question?" Snowa asked. "Ask, but it may not be the answer you want." Dracula replied with a smirk. "Could I stay here for a while?" Snowa asked. "Nope." Dracula replied. "But, you don't understand." Snowa stated. "You want to live here because you finally ran away from home." Dracula stated and Snowa nodded. "Yeah, I did, and I can't go back." Snowa stated. "No one can stay here except me and my daughter. Besides, you struggling might help with your strength." Dracula replied and Snowa sighed. "Fine, whatever." Snowa agreed. "Okay, let's get started." Dracula stated.

Real World!
    Daisy and Candace were both still in the trapdoor. Daisy was trying to use her light magic to get them out, but her dark magic that she got from her dad kept showing. She sighed as tears appeared in her eyes. "I can't do this!" Daisy exclaimed. "Yes, you can. You just need to believe in yourself. You believe in all of us, when no one else does. When we feel alone or sad, you make sure we don't at any cost. You can't believe in us, if you can't even believe in yourself." Candace explained. "I always try to have hope and be a light person, but the truth is my dad is the master of darkness. How can I be good if I come from darkness?" Daisy asked. "Because you are not your father. I would know, I have woken up so many times terrified that I am just like mine. But I realised something once that you need to learn now too, we may have something's in common with our dad's, but we are complete opposites from them. Maybe we have darkness in us, just like them. Maybe it is genetic, but it's also a choice. Evil is not born, it's made. We all have choices. Our dad's had a choice, and they choose darkness, not it's our turn to choose. I'm choosing light, and if I'm choosing light then so see you because you are so much lighter then me, and I'm not just talking skin tone." Candace explained as she cried and Daisy was crying too. Daisy laughed at the joke Candace made. "I'm the savior. I have never known anyone who has light and dark magic, it's a never-ending battle and I don't know if it's one I can win." Daisy stated. "That's not the optimist I know. D, please. It might be hard, but you were always the one that said if.... That if it's hard, then that's just another reason to fight back harder. You see the good in people, I know that's why you didn't want to come with me. You didn't want to hurt, because you do or you want to see the good in her. There's good in every evil person, and there's evil in every good person. But sometimes the good is washed out with the evil, and there's no way to bring it out. Maybe there is another way to stop Snowa, and maybe there's not. We have to stop her, no matter what it takes. It might be hard, but you have to drawn your dark magic out with your light magic. But if anyone can do it, it's you." Candace explained and Daisy nodded with a smile. "I know, thank you." Daisy stated. "You're welcome." Candace stated.
      Marvin left to return Peter's things and Lynda went into her sisters room. "What were you thinking?" Lynda asked and she shrugged. "I don't know." Kierra replied. "What's up with you?" Lynda asked. "Nothing." Kierra replied. "This isn't like you, you are the sweetest girl I know." Lynda stated and Kierra sighed. "Maybe you don't really know me." Kierra stated. "I do know you, you don't know yourself." Lynda stated. "I can't talk to you!" Kierra exclaimed. "You can if you actually talk." Lynda stated and Kierra sighed. "Whatever." Kierra stated as she rolled her eyes. "You're grounded!" Lynda stated. "What!?" Kierra asked. "You are only allowed to leave this house for school." Lynda replied. "I hate you." Kierra exclaimed and turned her back on her. Lynda sighed and left.
      Rachel, Rhonda, and Cody went to Gary's house. Rachel took a deep breathe and knocked on the door. Gary opened it and smiled at her, but she just kept frowning. "Hey, come in." Gary stated as he ls t them in. They walked in and Gary closed the door. Veronica was on the couch and she stood up once she saw them come in. "Great, you're here too." Rachel stated sarcastically. "Gary." Veronica stared and he nodded. He grabbed Rachel's hand, but she quickly let go. "Follow me." Gary stated and he led the girls, and Cody, out back. 
     There was a huge rose bush garden. The same ones as Gary gave Rachel so long ago. "What is this?" Rachel asked. "I made this for you as a surprise, Veronica helped me." Gary replied and Rachel turned to him. "You did all of this for me?" Rachel asked and he nodded. "Of course, for when we move in together." Gary replied. "What?" Rachel asked. "I want you to live with me." Gary replied and Rachel grinned. "Yes." Rachel agreed. "So, we're back together?" Gary asked and she nodded. "Of course." Rachel replied. They hugged and then kissed passionately. They pulled apart and Rachel turned to Veronica. "Hi." Veronica greeted. "I am so sorry." Rachel apologized with tears in her eyes. "Don't be." Veronica stated and they hugged.
