~6~

Tori was unaware of what was going on as Regan dragged her by her hair out of the closet and repeatedly giving her blows to the body but was unable to get to her face like she wanted to. Tori cried out loudly in hopes that someone would hear her and come to her rescue. No matter how much she called for help no one came. Regan was literally beating all of her anger and frustration out on Tori's small frame.

  "Stupid bitch!" Regan screamed with every punch.

Regan had forgotten that she and Dez had come back to Paisley Park after seeing Carlyn and the baby at the hospital. Prince was still out with Tony looking for Andre so it was pretty clear that the house was still pretty empty with only two visitors who have unlimited access to the grounds. Just down the hall Dez was sitting in Studio C working on some new chords as he waited for Regan to come back to meet him for a lunch date and to go back out to join Prince to find Andre he heard the high pitched grunts and screams from Tori. He has assumed that it was Regan in some type of distress.

  "Mouse?" He called but didn't get an answer.

Thinking that his mind was playing tricks on him he went back to playing his bass when he heard the loud thumping against the bedroom door.

  "Regan???" He called again this time confirming that he wasn't losing his mind.

He heard the loud thumping against the door again and immediately dropped his guitar on the floor and ran to help her and see what was going on. When he tried to open the bedroom door it was locked. He began to bang furiously on the door in hopes to be let in.

  "Regan! Open the door! Regan!" He shouted as his fist pounded on the door.

Dez was soon interrupted by the sound of the buzzer at the main entrance. He ran down to the open hall and looked down to see a woman frantically pulling at the handle and banging on the glass.

  "This is not the time lady." Dez huffed as he ran down the steps to open the door.

Dez opened the door just a crack and snapped on Karen without hesitation.

  "Prince ain't here come back later!" He shouted through the crack before he went to pull the door back closed.

  "I'm not here for Prince I'm here for my sister!" Karen shouted back quickly before the door closed in her face.

  "Who's your sister?" He said.

Karen opened the door fully and stepped inside.

  "I'm looking for Tori. I have reason to believe that she came here when we stopped for gas."

Dez looked over at the steps and then looked to Karen.

  "Tori said she was an only child." Dez said confused.

  "I'm sure she's told you a few things about her life that aren't true didn't she."

Dez and Karen eyed each other down suspiciously as the sound of shattering glass caused them to focus on the task at hand. The two raced up the two flights of steps back to the living suite and down the hall to Prince's bedroom. The shouts of the two women frightened Karen as she began calling out to her sister.

  "MCKENZIE! STOP!" She yelled.

Dez was never more shocked in his life.

  "McKenzie?!?!? I thought her name was Tori?!?!?" He said.

The sounds of fighting ceased and Regan found herself letting go of Tori's hair and pushing her to the floor. She looked at Tori out of breath and very angry.

  "Who is that?!?!?" She asked her.

Tori fell over holding her head and laying in the fetal position still trying to catch her breath.

  "ANSWER ME GOD DAMNIT! WHO IS THAT!?!?!?" Regan yelled at her again.

  "I don't.....know." Tori replied in a winded tone.

On the other side of the door Dez was still trying to get inside.

  "Regan???? You alright???" He shouted.

Regan ran over to the door and unlocked it letting Dez and Karen inside.

  "Oh my god! Kenzie! What did you do?!?!?" Karen shouted worried about her sister.

  "The better question is what didn't I do? She lucky I didn't kill her ungrateful ass." Regan huffed running her fingers through her hair.

  "You shouldn't have put your hands on her!" Karen snapped.

  "Lady you don't know me and you can catch a few body shots too if you want to. Now who are you????"

Karen looked up at Regan teary eyed and in panic.

  "Regan this is Karen. McKenzie's sister." Dez explained.

  "Who is this McKenzie person?!?!" Regan shot at him.

  "Well Mouse. It seems like we have a fraud on our hands because Tori isn't her real name."

Regan's attention drifted from Dez to Tori very stunned and now even more angry.

  "Please. Give me a few minutes to explain. Where is Prince? He needs to know about all of this as well." Karen said.

  "He's out right now looking for Andre." Regan replied trying her best to calm herself down.

  "He doesn't have to look too far. They went to First Avenue." Tori said as she sat up slowly and leaned her sore body against the footboard.

  "They??? What do you mean?" Dez asked.

  "Andre and Cat drug me out into the woods to scare me off. The next thing I know I was shot in the neck with something and it knocked me out. The burning car was just a ploy. They're fine."

  "I gotta call Tony." Dez said to them before taking off out of the room.

Regan was left to supervise Karen and Tori until Dez returned. Regan sat on the bed keeping her eyes on the two of them with her arms folded across her chest.

  "McKenzie. Why? Why did you come here?" Karen asked her sister.

  "Because.....this is still my home.....and Prince is still my husband." She said in a single breath.

  "No he's not sweetie. You need to tell him the truth."

Regan's ears perked up as she was dying to hear more about this crazy mess.

  "He knows the truth. He loves me so he knows."

  "He doesn't know. He doesn't know that you and Aaron are still married. He doesn't know about your real name. He doesn't even know that this marriage is a fake and he's not really married to you."

Regan's eyes lit up and were wider than ever. A huge smile grew on her face.

  "I knew it!" She thought to herself.

There was still change to claim his heart after all.
