Queen of the elements (Book 4 of The Fire Within)

Part 93: Enlighten Me

Five: You know why. 

Y/n: Please, enlighten me. 

Five: Y/n, we have been running around our whole lives. We have fought apocalypse after apocalypse with no end in sight. You've almost died God knows how many times, did die once. We got separated for 6 years. I don't want to loose you again Y/n. I'm sorry I kept it from you but I knew that once you found a way back home you'd want to go back and I wasn't ready to put our lives on the line again. 

Y/n: So what was your plan? Hide it forever?

Five: No... I. I don't know. I planned on telling you eventually, but I didn't want to give this up yet. 

Y/n: What about what I wanted? What about our family? I spent 6 years alone, in an unfamiliar place, where I was forced to watch my family, the people I love and care about the most, live there lives from a far without me in it. I watched Allison cry because she thought she killed me. I watched Klaus fall in and out of drugs. I watched Luther make an attempt to keep the family together and Viktor run away and try to forget his past. I watched Ben fall to Crime. I watched Diego raise a family. I watched you get into the CIA. I watched you and Diego try to find me, knowing that you wouldn't. I watched birthdays, celebrations, ups and downs, and you have no idea how much will it took me to not come back, despite my new position and despite my health as I was healing. I would have given it all up, just to be with you all again. Then I finally get the chance to come back, and get stuck away from my family again, only for you to find a way home and not tell me!

(Five looked down. Y/n had told them alot about her castle, but never has she told them about the pain she went through in the first couple years. They culdn't imagine what that felt like for Y/n and it never crossed their mind to try because she never talked about it.)
