Chapter 21: I'm a Wreck

—Azumi pov—

"You.. hurt my sister!" I yelled to Snow, but when she turned around, she didn't look the same. She was hurt.

"What do you want?" A deep voice said, it seemed glitched and like a man had said it.

"Give snow back." The stars in her eyes flashed red, and I knew exactly who it was. Shadow.

"You know." It said, moving out of snows body, leaving her on the ground, her eyes still red.

"Yes shadow. I know who you are, and I have to say, fuck you." I said, spraying some potion on it like acid to skin, melting it.

It screamed and wailed for a while before disappearing. I hugged her and took care of Ichine accordingly. "She knows I'm a wreck." I thought as snow looked at me concerningly

"Is everyone ok? How do you know about shadow?" She asked, wanting to know everything.

"I- it hurts people and we are here to stop this."

"Even me?" She asked, walking away with me.

"No, you aren't a part of this" I said sternly.

"Oh." She said, embarrassed.

She nodded and we walked back and hung out with my sister.

—Axure pov—

"Granny?" I asked, looking up at her.

"Yes sweetie?" She asked, making me some tea.

"Who are you making the tea for?" I asked, knowing she doesn't drink tea.

"You, you asked for it 5 minutes ago." She said, about to cry.

"Oh right.." I muttered, not remembering. Truth is, I didn't know. My memory has gone dull. I cried into her shoulder. "I don't remember anything!" I said tearing up.

"I know." She said, briefly before crying into me. "You won't forget me but you've forgotten your old friends and everyone."

"Everyone..." I thought, after telling her I'd be ok and leaving to my room.

—Juliet pov—

"Hey Kyle!" Derek said in a happier than normal tone. "Wanna hang out after school?"

"Sorry Derek I'm hanging out with aph, lune, and triana today." Kyle said as he smiled but soon looked concerned.

"You always have time for other people but not me. Maybe I shouldn't be such a failure huh. Maybe then you would hang out with me instead of THEM." Derek said in a quiet yet stern tone.

"Juliet, would you excuse me for a second." Kyle said as he privately spoke to his friend."

I stayed there, I could hear them but not see them.

"What is the matter with you Derek!, what's gotten into you?" I heard Kyle say.

"Why don't you like me anymore?" Derek said.

"Look at me," Kyle said. "I'm sorry."

"Sorry isn't good enough for me." Derek said as he left Kyle there in tears.

I left, knowing it would be too awkward and I didn't want to mess anything up.

—Aphrodite pov—

"Bye Alexis!" I said waving as I met up with lune and triana. "Where's Kyle?" I asked, not seeing him anywhere.

Eventually I heard sobs and saw Kyle crying in a corner.

"Kyle! What happened?" I asked, snuggling up to him, hugging him.

"Derek... I need to spend time with him." He muttered, putting his head in my chest and crying.

"I understand, you should find him, ill tell the others you'll be late," I smiled

"Thanks love!" He said

"No problem."
