New Age

Chapter 21-I'm Sorry

I stared at the floor on the brink of tears because of all of the trauma I just had to relive through. I didn't even look back up at Milinda and Scarlet when I said, "I'm going on a walk I'll be back in a bit." I heard Scarlet call out to me as I walked out of my room "No, Zena wait! I- no you...I just-" As I walked out of the dorm, I looked back at the 2 girls and say "It's ok you'll figure it out later. I know it took me a while to." I closed the door. I took the deepest breath I could without crying. I walked through the empty weekend halls with only my thoughts to keep me company. "Happy now knowing you only have me now? Poor lonely Zena only having her thoughts as a friend-" As I walked out of the school and into the woods, I cut her off, saying aloud.

"Shut up. You don't have the right to say anything about them."

"Oh, come on you know they don't have a single fuck to give about you anymore. I mean you just confessed to murder! The police could be on the way as we speak-"

"I SAID SHUT UP" I yelled as loud as I could as I punched the closest tree. I collapsed on the ground of the forest and burst into tears. "Aww is the little baby angry that I'm telling the truth?" I looked at my knuckles that had already started bleeding. "No, I'm just pissed off that you exist at all." I stood up and turned around to see the tree I punched out of pure anger and frustration had now fallen over. "But hey at least I could do shit like this-" I was cut off by something, more like someone though. It was a familiar voice, and it was one I haven't heard in quite a while: it was Kelly's.

I followed wherever the voice seemed to be coming from and after some looking, I came across a clearing that had two people in it: Kelly and someone who looked a lot like Kelly but shorter and with angel wings instead of demon ones. "Ok I'm here so what the hell do you want? '' Kelly said impatiently. "Ah good you're still able to talk, either way Gnosis welcomes you!" The other girl said in a breathy and cheerful voice. "Yea yea don't bring your stupid god into this, just get to the point." Kelly said irritably. "Ah right, forget you can't be patient. The point of me calling you here is to make a proposal."

"About what?"

"Your little blue haired friend you had a little kerfuffle with a month ago."

Now I was hooked. "I think I could help you, let's just say, put her in her place." The girl whispered. "Wait, you actually want to help me for once?!" Kelly asked, seeming startled. "Why of course sister, that is what we do right?" the girl said. Kelly got real up close to her and said "Do not call me your sister Delilah. After what you did you are not any sister of mine." Delilah smirked and said "use that tone on me again and I won't give you any more help with your little girl drama you have. Hey but if you don't have me at least you'll have Scarlet, right?" Kelly sighed and said "Yea I guess she's hated me for a while now so- aah! That's not the point, what the hell is your plan anyways?! You've just been beating around the bush this entire time!" Delilah put her hands behind her back and said, "Well Gnosis gave me an idea of how I could help." Then she whispered something into Kelly's ear. All I could hear was bits and pieces of the plan, but I think I got all the info I needed. I started to leave before I heard something else from Delilah. "Gnosis also told me someone was watching us this whole time, oh Zena why don't you show me what you look like hmm?" I ran as fast as I could out of that forest.

When I got out of the forest and back on the school grounds, I turned around to see if I was followed. No one was in sight. "Hey wolf girl!" I spun back around and there was Kelly. "I know what you did. You and your fleas went into the woods and heard everything, didn't you?" Kelly asked in a demanding tone. "Play dumb!" I backed away and answered nervously. "Uh 1 I don't have flea's and 2 uhh what woods?" "Not that dumb my god!" Kelly smiled and said, "ok so not those woods right behind you?" and as she pointed to the woods, I booked it into the school. "Hey! Where the hell do you think you're going!?!" Kelly yelled after me. I ran as fast as you could upstairs and to my dorm. I jammed the key into the dorm door and slammed it shut behind me. Milinda and Scarlet stared at me out of breath holding the door shut. Panting I asked, "Hey Scarlet, do you have a sister?"
