Croix find out

Saturday 20 January 2007, Luna Nova

"Well the day was coming, I was starting to remember little by little what the fifth word was about, which made me practically ready for it, while I was practising and I also got to go to a little party in the meantime, since my mum had turned 35 and called us to celebrate at her house, It was good fun to relax and I even managed to get a bit of a slip-up for the next word, even my mum Bernadette was there on the day and she was beautiful, even if she was a bit ill, she managed to help me get to the fifth word, telling me about the various stories she used to tell me when I was a child and I already had it in my head to reveal the fifth word, only it would have to come on a special day."

Today is a Saturday, so I can rest without doing anything too much, now that I've had a shower after training I can take advantage of the day and go to the blue team's room, just to have fun with the girls, yesterday was already very good, today I hope there will be more, well, come on, I'm looking forward to having fun again.
But when I came out of the bathroom, I noticed that Croix was waiting for me, she was sitting on my bed, which I found strange that she was here in the room and not in the other one, but that's okay, she must have wanted to talk to me about something more private, I guess

"Chariot, I want to talk to you seriously, I know something about you and I found out and I want you to be honest about it, let's go to the tower of Arcturus, it's emptier there, I don't want it to be full of people there, okay?" I nod my head in agreement.

"But we can talk here and inhibit the noise" I say to her.

"The kind of thing I want you to tell me should only be revealed in Arcturus, I don't want to be here in Luna Nova to hear it, and even then I don't trust you to speak here" Did Daniella tell her everything? For the nine witches' sake, now that everything has been thrown into the wind, I told her not to reveal anything yet.

"OK, Croix, if you say so, I don't think I can hide it from you, can I?" She even looks surprised.

"So you really have something to reveal, don't you? I hope you're honest, because I found out from someone what you've been doing, I don't know if it's for a long time, I don't know if it's current, but we need to talk, I don't even know if your mums know about this" I'm screwed, I knew that giving in to Daniella would lead to something.

I take a deep breath, even a little nervous, as I follow Croix through the corridors, arriving at the hidden part, without being seen, as we pass the ruins, my nervousness, I don't know what to say about it, but it's time to reveal the truth.
In the forest I get even more nervous following Croix, I can't believe there's more to reveal, I take a deep breath, I think she really knows everything now, we climb the stairs to the tower, I even made a point of coming with Claiomh Solais as I'm trying my best to find the right story my mum gave me, we get to the top and I can see Meridies' eyes, those green ones were starting to shine and get wet.

"Very well Chariot, I've found out things about you and I'm going to give you the chance to confess, we'll talk at the same time about what you've been doing without me knowing, I was even shocked to find out the truth, coming from you" By the nine witches she knows, I can't believe she knows I did it.

"Can you at least wait a little while to think about it, I didn't want to leave you without knowing, I just didn't think it was a good time to tell you, it's not easy to tell you about a subject as delicate as this" I'm already tearing up as I look at her.

"That's why you hid it, isn't it? I thought we could keep our secrets from each other, trust each other again, I promised I'd get better and look, I'm letting go of the question of you being the chosen one, but you still hide these things, come on Chariot it won't be difficult" She must be all hurt by all this, but well what can I do, the wound has already been made.
