Chapter 20 - Chapter 20 - Truth

"Alright. As you already know, you had Visions all that time, right?" I nod.

"About that... and please don't be angry, I was the one who gave you those Visions."

... she gave me those vision... those horrible, horrible visions... those visions that plagued me all the time, those visions that have almost broken me at times! THOSE VISIONS THAT SHE SAID WHERE A CURSE?!?

Anger is building up inside me, I don't know why, I've never felt so much anger. Neither do I know how I can be so angry. Wait... of course I do. I mean, she just said that those Visions came from her. But... don't I want to at least hear the reason? NO! I DON'T WANT TO.

But I should...

Suddenly Victoria hugs me, it calms me down. But why? WHY? WHY AM I SO ANGRY? 

I start crying, louder than before.

Victoria looks at me. "Listen, I am so so sorry. I know it can't be excused or forgiven. But... it was for your own good."

"FOR MY OWN GOOD?!?" My voice is shaky. It's a mixture of anger and hopelessness.

Victoria nods. "Yes. You may not believe me now, but you will believe me in the Future, trust me." She touches my Hands and fondles them, somehow this calms me down.

"Listen, I am really sorry. But this is not all I need to tell you."

"What can be worse than this?" I ask her genuinely.

"Well..." She sighs, clearly feeling guilty. "I... may or may not be the one who... killed your Parents..."

"YOU DID WHAT?!?" My anger is growing rapidly. I feel like a surge of strength is rising inside of me, almost like I am turning into a Monster. But if it has to be, to avenge my Parents, I will accept that. I will embrace it. I will gladly turn into a Monster, to kill the Person who ruined my Life. TO KILL THAT BITCH!

Dark Aura is spurting out of me, I can't control myself. Victoria tries everything to calm me down. But I don't listen to her. I don't want to listen to her.

I attack her. But nothing hits. She blocks every attack. I am still too weak. I am too small. This Body is too small. I need to find a stronger one. YES, A STRONGER BODY! LIKE HERS!

Before I can do anything, my Magic Energy leaves my Body. It looks like me, but... different... I can't describe it, it looks like a Shadow. It quickly attacks Victoria, but she can stop it. She then uses Magic to seal it inside of me again. She then hugs me, almost crying.

"wh-what was that...?" I whisper, being barely audible.

She shakes her head. "It was your soul. A Soul, full of hatred, full of Pain. Tarnished by a Life that shouldn't have been."

"What do you mean? My Life shouldn't have been this way?"

She slowly nods, almost as if like she doesn't know it herself. "Yes... but don't be confused. This Life, currently, is your true life. But the Life you lived before..." She looks down, almost feeling guilty.

I look at her confused. "I don't understand. I really don't understand."

She shakes her Head. "And you don't need to for now."

Victoria reaches for my Hand. "Come, I will take you somewhere special."

After thinking for a bit, I take her Hand. She helps me up and I follow her Lead.

I still feel angry, but I try to suppress it.

After walking for quite a while, and I wonder why we didn't just fly, we finally reached our destination.

It's a beautiful field, filled with many different kinds of flowers and a tree in the middle.

"It's beautiful..." I say, rather quietly.

She nods. "Yes, it is."

Victoria then turns around and smiles at me. "This is the place where we will meet from now on. We need to cleanse your Soul of evil. We need to heal you. And this is the perfect spot for it. Just as God intended."

I look at her, my Head slightly tilted. "God? Did you say God?"

Victoria nods. "Yes! God. The God of this World. He once told me what to do. And now we will cleanse you with his help." She smiles even more thoroughly.

God, huh? So God even told her to give me those Visions? Why would God do that? I don't really think she tells the truth, because if she did, then it would mean that God is evil. And that can't be.

I shake my Head. "Alright. I will trust you." I talk with a reluctance in my Voice, but what choice do I have?

Victoria smiles. "Okay! Then, how about we start tomorrow?"

Reluctantly I agree. I don't know what I am getting myself into, but I know that this is the only way forward for now. I just hope I didn't make a wrong choice...
