Beyblade Fan Fiction ❯ Silent Nights ❯ Revealing the Truth ( Chapter 6 )

 

This chapter should reveal a lot of stuff if you are still confused. Have fun reading and if you have questions don't forget to review. I always try to respond to my readers.

 

 

Silent sobs racked my slumped body; my rib cage ached with every gasp of badly needed air. Just the prince's motionless presence made my heart ache so badly that my head was pounding with indecision and a tinge of guilt. My eyes were screwed shut to keep the wave of unshed tear in my skull, away from his sight.

 

Suddenly I could hear him moving, a light shuffle of clothes as he knelt down closer to my body.

 

“Please leave me be.” I almost didn't hear my own voice as it murmured from my lips. He was quiet for a long moment before he let a long sigh pass his lips and spoke.

 

“Answer me this and I will leave you be.” His words were still and soothing, almost as if he hadn't lost his control a moment ago. “What is your true name?”

 

I slowly lifted my arms from around my head and gradually lifted my head to look up into his frozen eyes. He seemed cautious, keeping his body just far enough away from mine so I wouldn't feel closed in. I sighed and returned my head to the protective shell of my arms. There was a deathly silence in the room, only the soft wheeze of our breath interrupted for a moment at a time.

 

If I were to tell him my name, I would surely reveal my role in this past. If I told him who I was I would surely not be allowed to leave this place. If he knew who I was I might be reunited with my sister… It was worth the risk. Alli couldn't be harmed, well, at least I wouldn't allow it if I could.

 

“Do you doubt my word?” His voice shook my body in a noiseless shiver.

 

“At the moment…” I paused myself; unsure of what would be the wisest thing to say. Perhaps leaving it as an indefinite would be best. I heard him sigh and I cringed. I had to make him trust my words, and this whole situation wasn't helping one little bit. Dragging my hands down my face I held my cheeks tentatively in my palms. “I'm not sure.” I finally finished my sentence, a conclusion to an endless story. I had once trusted this man with my life, I may never again.

 

“I mean you no harm, did I not-“ I lifted my hand, suddenly pressing my palm against his lips, my thumb pressed along the side of his nose.

 

“Renee.” I whispered. My eyes lifted from under their lids to look into his own arctic orbs. “It's my name.”

 

I watched as his eyes grew to the size of golf balls and felt his jaw go lax under my palm. His eyes stared wide at me in shock. It wasn't exactly the reaction I was gunning for. I was going for the I knew it gleam in his eyes, but nope. I got the Holy Shit! Look instead. Surprise, surprise.

 

Drawing my hand away from his face I calmly waited for his expression to go blank. I rest my hand against my cheek once more and watched him curiously.

 

“You can't be…” His words trailed off and an eerie silence blanketed the room. I held my breath, almost afraid that my breath would ruin the blissful moment. I watched as his eyes ran over my face, my hair, my body and finally back to my eyes. I wasn't going to tell him flat out that I was his former lover and former heir to the kingdom he conquered. He could bloody damn well figure that out on his own. I wasn't going to help him… much.

 

“Can't be what?” I asked. I was going to make this a fun experience if I could. I had never planned to return to this world, and I certainly hadn't planed on returning to this world as a prisoner. But I could at least make this whole event seem less painful by accepting it. I guess I always had the sneaking suspicion I would return some day.

 

“Her,” only the low growl of his “R” distinguished his word to my ears. His almost alarmed expression made him seem so vulnerable to me at the moment. Suddenly I felt guilty for telling him my name. It looked as thought I had opened a scabbed over wound and dug my fingers into it.

 

“Your hair,” His hand reached out and took a lock of my dirt dipped hair between his fingers.

 

“What about it?” I asked, my voice sounding as if I was hooked up to a loud speaker in comparison to his.

 

“Is it really this color?” Oh damn, he was onto something.

 

“If I said yes, would you believe me?”

 

“… I suppose not.” His hand delicately wove through my knotted hair messaging my scalp as he went. I leaned slightly away from his touch, but not too far. Some part of me still longed for his touch. I wasn't sure what part but it kept me from landing a slap on his cheek.

 

“The no, it's not natural.” I whispered, sealing my fate. I wasn't a natural bleach blonde. I was an albino in human terms. Alli, my younger sister from this word, had silvery white hair that eventually would fade to be white like my own.

 

“Tell me then, what is your natural color?” He was curious, but almost certain of who I was. That much I could tell from his friendly touch and suddenly more confident voice.

 

“Humans call me an albino, minus the tan.” I said, my voice now taking his former volume. His hand paused behind my head. Yeah, he knew it was me alright.

 

“It can't just be a coincidence…”

 

What was I doing? Honestly, what was I letting my self be dragged back into this world? I had no powers that I could control, the markings on my body classifying my as a royal had long since disappeared and on top of it all every thing demonic about me had vanished. Besides my memories a, my heritage, and the little magic I remembered how to do I was human.

 

But no matter what I had to save Alli. That much I was certain of. Certainly there was another way besides this! Besides revealing myself to the man I hated for nearly 10 years, to the man who destroyed my kingdom, the man who killed Alli and my parents. I had once been engaged to him for three years, three years of earning each others trust and love. If we had gotten married our kingdoms would have merged and become one. That was the condition of our marriage. Peace between our lands.

 

But he had to end the peace.

 

He had to kill our parents.

 

He had too destroy the love between us.
