CHAPTER 9
Circe
"Okay, I'm really sorry that I ghosted you, but I think you understand why now," I began to tell my friends after letting them all regain themselves. I continue, breathing deeply even though I don't technically need to survive, "And after this, I don't want to put you in danger again, so I'm sorry, but I can't be around you anymore. I'm too dangerous, and I'm surrounded by too many dangerous things."
This is really hard, but I need to do it, if I don't one of them could get really hurt and I can not have that happen.
Alice is holding my hand, not trying to influence me to do anything imparticular at this moment.
"What the hell?" I hear a yell, coming from the person I would least expect to, Waylon. Waylon finally spoke up for himself and continues to do so, "You ghost us for a week, tell us your a vampire and a witch, defeat Newton, and decide that your too dangerous, after all this. You literally just proved you can handle yourself. You are fine!"
We all sit there shocked, Cain interrupting to try and calm him down, "Hey, Waylon, calm down a bit, it's their choi-"
"No!, Screw that, she can't ghost us and then give us a lame-ass excuse," he turns towards me now, "We love you, and if you truly love us you will try to make it work. Cain is right, it is your choice, I just hope you make the right one."
I stutter, not sure what to say. I continually attempt to start speaking, but I have no idea what to say. My thoughts are too grumbled, and I can barely think.
I feel a familiar tightness in my palm, Alice's hand sliding into mine, making me calm a little.
"Your right," I admit, voice as soft as the moss on the trees around us, "I have been an awful friend recently, and I don't want to lose your friendship, but I'm so worried about your safety."
Taking a deep breath, unnecessary but calming, I continue, "Though, I think with work I begin to trust myself more. I want to make it up to you, and I know it won't happen automatically, but I'm sorry for how I've treated you all as of recently and I hope you can forgive me."
"It will take some time, but I do believe we will, " Zelda interrupts, earning nods from both Cain and Waylon.

This one is so short, wow I'm actually sorry. Probably going to double post today because it is such a short chapter.
