Chapter 10 - Secrets

~flashback~
~10 years ago~

Strangers,we will have to act as strangers. Tearing two best friends connected by blood apart. No one can know we are related or even close to being friends.They need to remain hidden;hidden from the world because they can't know they are still alive.
No one can know they survived but with this decision made out of reflex,safety and desperation,I will risk loosing my favorite person,my best friend ,my cousin. I'm afraid;afraid that one day, I might forget her existence,like everyone else by this separation our parents decided to make..."This is for your own,and their safety.I know this is hard but when you grow just a bit older,you will be together again!"they promised but why does it feel like a lie,a lie they feed us to keep us from hungry for answers.But if they think I will stop asking for them,they don't know their own daughter,at all.

"WARUM?" (German:WHY?) I shouted out loud trying to keep my tears escaping my eyes.
"Cy es muss getan werden.Es gibt schreckliche Leute, die wollen, dass deine Tante und dein Onkel tot sind.Und wenn sie herausfinden, dass sie am Leben sind, dass sie ihren Attentatsversuch überlebt haben.Krieg wird wiederkommen!" (Cy it has to be done.There are terrible people who want your aunt and uncle dead.And if they find out they're alive, that they survived their assassination attempt.War will come again!) My mom weeped,her pain radiating towards my father which had put a hand on her shoulder as she was kneeled infront of me and Nico, begging us.

"Zusammen sind wir stark."(Together we are strong.) Nico braved.
"Wir können uns schützen, hast du nicht gesehen, welche Moves ich diese Woche im Training gemeistert habe?" (We can protect ourselves, didn't you see the moves I mastered in practice this week?) I followed her, trying everything everything to convince them otherwise. "Wir werden sie alle töten!" (We will kill them all!) I pleaded more,pushing the last buttons,my last luck.
"Oh fetițele noastre curajoase!"
(Romanian:Oh our little brave girls!")Auntie awed with pain in her voice while she kneeled next to my mami, starting to hug both of us tightly.
"Și așa știm ,că în viitor, veți fii cele mai bune conducătoare." (And that's how we know, that in the future,you will be the best leaders.) Father admitted even if there was a little sense of panic in his voice.

Both mothers raised, exchanging looks,worried,painful looks...me and Nico are not the only ones being separated,the two sisters are aswell,forced by enemies to break one of the most wonderful bonds.
I turned towards Nico, exchanging a look nearly the same as our mothers.
"O să te văd încurând!" (I will see you soon!) I had the bravery to finally speak after a few moments.
"Promiți?" (Promise?) She cried out.
"Promit!" (Promise!) I promised, because we all couldn't say a goodbye,that would be a confirmation;that we gave up,that THEY won.
I won't let that happen.I will make this right,I will bring all of us together again.And to those who had the bravery to break my family,I WILL COME AFTER YOU!

CYRA POV

"Cousin?Aren't both of your parents only children Knight?"Jason stated with such confusion in his voice,making me jump in panic. This can't happen not yet, no one must learn we have hidden it for so long it can't be revealed yet whilst they are still out there.
"Yeah, but family doesn't always have to be a blood related,does it now? Vonnie here is my sister and has been for longer than she has been yours to be honest.And the 'cousin' I talked about has the same situation." He stared at me lost of words, hopefully dumb enough to believe it and make him stop asking questions.
This guy never changed,always curious and putting his nose where it doesn't belong.I will cut it off one day and I will 100% enjoy it,maybe keeping it as a souvenir in a jar too,hah. And Von, she looked at me with a worried look which didn't mean to make me feel like she looked at me with pity because she knows how much I hate someone to pity me.Too many emotions needed for it,and I detest it,a complete waste of time.However it showed me she's with me,that she cared,even tho I might have lied my way out of telling her the full story.I love her, somehow,but I can't let that love blind me and spill my family's secrets,to no one.
So I told Jason what I've told her aswell. Does that make me a shitty,two-faced liar?Maybe,most probably.Will they probably hate me when at one point will learn I had lied in their faces with such ease and no regret?Yes,but losing one or two people I love is nothing compared to losing my only strength ,the reason I stand here now,and reason I desired so bad to become who I am today,my family.

Trying to ease the tension and calm things down,wiping Jason's thoughts on the event that just had happened;she spoke.
"Can we sleep now?Because it's zero six hundred and I have things to do at zero eight hundred." she spoke as if she's in the military "Sir yes sir!" Hector mocked her as I let out a low chuckle, and we all did as we were ordered,in not even five minutes everyone was asleep,and only then I allowed myself to sleep too.

I hear a low boy's voice waking me up from my lovely sleepy state.
Whoever the fuck this is, they are going to walk around like a zombie with their throat ripped off if they don't shut up right now!
