MyStreet: When Angels Fall (OC Character Added)

Reborn Pt. 3

(The above is Violet's new outfit for the finale)

______________________________________________

A week later, after we'd all watched the Celestial Cannon fall to the ocean, we're about to leave Starlight.

Finally.

After we'd escaped the Cannon, the Captain had met with the Guardian Forces. He'd told them the truth, and after long negotiations, the GF are now protecting all of us. We've moved back into our old hideout/hotel for the time being, but we're set to go home sometime today.

Katelyn, Garroth, and I had shed our Guardian Forces armor with relief the moment we could. Right now I'm wearing a cheerful yellow dress with blue designs that compliment my sky-colored eyes. Mummy had been shocked to discover the story behind my purple irises, and even now whenever my friends look at me they seem surprised by the color before shaking it off.

As we wait for Katelyn, Kim, and Lucinda to finish packing, my brothers and I are sitting at the table with Kawaii~Chan, listening to the head of the GF feed the public lies about what happened. The story mostly involves the Lycan family being extinct, the Ultima having been killed, and all of his accomplices either dead or in custody. Part of it's true, I suppose. They still won't release Aphmau, Aaron, or Travis. Or tell us anything about them.

Kim, Emmalyn and I have been talking. Ever since I learned Ghost's real name, I'd been speaking with her and Kim more frequently, trying to find out if she's the Emmalyn my other self knew, the vision I saw when Irene died. Kim and Emmalyn are the only ones I've told the truth about what happened to me. Everyone else knows I was affected by a Forever Potion, but not what Irene showed me, about her past life. I'd told everyone but Kim and Emmalyn that the purple eyes had been a side effect of the Forever Potions on me.

I know that the three of us share the same fear---if the Guardian Forces found out about us, they'd keep and examine us as well.

Mummy and Rowan are currently paying more attention to the TV than we are. I'm simply trying to enjoy the first piece of pizza I've had in weeks. We're not exactly laughing, but all of us are talking, and smiling, trying to comfort one another. Although it sort of feels like my brothers and Kawaii~Chan have conspired to aim their compassion towards me.

I suppose I'll always be the baby.

"Nya!" Kawaii~Chan cries out suddenly, jerking backward in her chair as the purple drink from her cup soaks into her pink shirt.

"Kawaii~Chan!" Mummy says worriedly, coming over. "Are you all right?"

"I--I'm fine. I just---" Kawaii~Chan answers, her face squinted in discomfort.

"She just spilled some of her drink on her." Garroth finishes, kind of chuckling. Relief washes over Mummy's face, and a tiny smile appears.

"Oh, thank goodness." She says breathlessly. "For a moment there, I thought your wound had---"

"Four is fine." Zane insists, getting up and grabbing a towel. He doesn't even ask permission before he starts wiping the juice off her shirt, and I can't contain a smile as he flushes red, realizing what he's doing. "Oh---uh---I'm, uh... sorry, Four."

KC smiles brightly, bushing a little. "It's all right."

"Smooth, Zane." I mutter so only Mummy and Garroth can hear. Garroth cackles.

"Hahaha! Zane's as smooth as me now!" He giggles, pointing. Mummy and I both reach and slap his ears, and he yelps. "OW! But, Mom!!!" He whines.

"Don't make fun of your little brother! Do you know what he's been through?" She says savagely. Garroth and her start arguing back and forth, about him and me being mind-controlled, we went through stuff too, and I roll my eyes, sipping at my lemonade. It's nice to hear bickering again. It feels normal, even if the topic isn't.
