Lets Have a Talk

The day after Rythian's little injury, I was sitting outside with him, while Zoey was out with Teep doing whatever it was they were doing. "Rythian, why was your blood black?" I asked carefully, not wanting him to be suspicious of me. He hesitated then asked "why do you seem so different?" "What do you mean different?" I countered "something about you, you seem like a different race" he said. I sighed, "if you answer my question I will answer yours" he looked at me for a moment, considering. "Ok fine, but whatever you do, please don't tell Zoey" he pleaded, "don't worry, as long as you don't tell anyone about is conversation ever, we will be fine" I said. "Alright," he took a breath, I could tell this was hard for him to face, "I am part Enderman" he said very quietly. I looked at him and thought, 'it all makes sense now...' "Your turn" he said, his face pale, he really took in the inevitable. I hesitated, this was hard for me, I sighed then closed my eyes and whispered, "I am part wither" I collapsed, "I had never told anyone, only my father knew." Rythian pat my back, "I understand how you feel" he said pained. "That medicine I take, it fights the wither inside me, trying to contain it, it fails sometimes, but it causes excruciating pain whenever it makes contact." I said, he looked at my gloved hands, understanding. "Take off your gloves" he commanded, I looked strait into his eyes "take off your mask" I countered back. In a movement as one I slid my gloves off as he slid his mask down. We both gasped, his face had a scar running from his neck to his bottom lip, and black veins of ender blood wove their way up his face to his mouth, his neck had started turning black. He looked like spiders had made black spider webs all over his neck and up to his chin. I looked down at myself, my hands we grey as ash with charcoal like veins running through them, it stopped abruptly at my wrist, like there was something their keeping it from going any farther. "Rythian," I breathed, "I think both of us are worse then we thought" I said pained. He nodded but said nothing. I pulled my gloves back on and he pulled his mask up. He looked up and met my eyes, both of ours were filled with tears. "How" I asked him, "I went to the End as a child, I got badly injured, when I came home, this started happening, black blood spread from the cut." He said each word with hatred and pain. "You" he said "my mother was a wither, but she wasn't like the others, she loved my dad and he loved her, so he gave her the body of a human, but she had the soul and the blood of a wither, I was born into it. We tried to fight it, her and me. She made the medicine for me, then died of a human illness that her species was not used to, she was so filled with grief about what she had created, she didn't even try to get better. My father went mad and evil when she died, all the while I was slowly turning" I choked out. 'Why had this become so emotional?' I thought 'its because neither of us have shared this person information with anyone, we buried these things deep, hoping to never see them again,' a little voice said in my head, I knew it was right. We both took a breath and got up, Rythian hugged me, "I will always have your back, if you have mine." He said, "we will help each other get through this." I said, "lets get inside and wait for Zoey to get home, remember, she can't know of anything we said today," he said as we walked in. "You got it" I said as I ran upstairs to my room.

Authors note- alright so your probably wondering what the hell is going on? Right? Ok well the reason Kira takes that medicine is to fight the Wither within her, she makes friend with Rythian because he battles the ender inside him, it is inevitable that they should meet. If you have any questions I will try to answer them, this is a bit confusing. Tell me thoughts so far!
