The Truth Revealed (10)

WARNING: mild sexual references. Skip the first pov if necessary.

Eris pov.

"My brother has a gang, is in a gang I mean. You should know, you're in it" "I was in it," I corrected her, she smiled and continued, 

"He has a reputation for doing illegal stuff, smoking, vaping, vandalizing property, I heard he's tried Alcohol before! But that's not the point, the point is that they hurt me. Every time I do something to even affect their gang the slightest, I get cornered, teased and assaulted. This time they hit me until I was near to death but last- last time," tears flowed down her cheeks as she feared to continue, I hesitantly put my hand forward and to my delight she held it. "I had a swimming lesson that day, and I- I was the last person in the changing rooms, I thought it'd be ok to change at- at the benches," she sobbed, "But, when I thought no one was there I, saw them including Ha- Haruki come inside the girls changing rooms, I had tried telling my mum about the gang and... Haruki found out. They came for revenge. Haruki ordered them to do something, I was terrified, I had basically nothing on other than my towel wrapped around me."

I was horrified, and I was part of their gang.
"I screamed for help but no one heard me, I- couldn't do anything and the boys, they- tried touching me, inappropriately, in, the wrong places-" she chocked on her tears, I wasn't sure if I was doing it right but I hugged her, she hugged back. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you any of that," she said, covering her face with her hair. "Have you told anyone else?" I asked, "I tried to tell the teachers but apparently my brother and his friends are sweethearts and would never do anything like that." She rolled her eyes. We broke from the hug. "I wasn't there that day. Maybe, I could've stopped it." I blamed myself. 

"It's not your fault." She said, before hugging me again, I hugged her back, she didn't deserve this. No wonder Haru didn't tell me about this, he knew I wouldn't stand for it.

We broke the hug but got up and walked back to the monastery, hand in hand. I smiled. I opened the gate when we saw the ninja, ah, they saw us holding hands. We both quickly let go, my face turned red and I turned around and saw Ellora's was red too. "Where have you guys been?" My Mum scolded me. "Well, um," Ellora started, "We were at Jamonikai village, buying candy," I said while pulling a few lollies out of my pocket, turning around I winked at Ellora, and she smiled, "Yeah," she joined in on the act as she too pulled out a few lollies. I smiled back at her. I didn't know we were so alike.

Jays pov.

Ellora and Eri quickly walked into the monastery and closed the door, we resumed training. "Is it just me, or did anyone notice how they were stealing my trademark colour before this?" Kai accused. "Kai, we've been over this, you don't own the colour red," Nya said, rolling her beautiful black eyes. "Sure Sis, but still anyone notice it?" Kai pleaded, "I did," Lloyd admitted, "To be completely honest I don't think they were at Jamonikai village, I'm pretty sure they are both just so obsessed with candy that they had them stashed in their pockets already." Lloyd said. 

"You're obsessed with candy too Lloyd!" Kai said, 

"I am not! Just because I tried forcing everyone to give me candy when I was little DOES NOT mean-" Jay whipped out a pillow mint from his pocket, "Oohhhhh candy! Gimme, gimme!" Lloyd begged, everyone laughed, "How are you our leader Lloyd?" I asked, "Although Lloyd is a fully grown adult, the effects of tomorrow's tea prove that he is still a young teenager within." Zane stated. 

Well, that makes sense.

Elloras pov.

Me and Eri quickly hurried inside UGH, that was embarrassing enough for one day. "Let's go," Eri said. I followed him to his room and finally retrieved my 2nd crutch. We sat on the floor and started building a Lego tower. Then I realised how nice Eri is, he showed me which pieces and colours I should use, and together we made a mini borg tower in record time! "Ellora-" "you can call me Ell." He smiled, "Ell, We broke a world record!" My whole face lit up, "We did?" He chuckled, "Nah not really, we just made this very fast." He places the tower in the centre of the city while I groan, "Thanks for making me excited for nothing."
