The betrayal

CHAPTER SIX

Today we leave. Today we're heading to Roma. Tasha and my friends are gonna stay with Tasha parents while me, Anya and Adrian stay at the hotel dad booked. I can't believe we're actually going. I've been training for the past two days, improving everything I can. I've gotta be ready, i can't let myself get carried away like last time. I'm gonna think it out, like my guardian coach says. That was probably why I died. I need a plan. I need to think, and be smart, and not my usual self. This isn't just for my sake but for my sister's. Pain. Oh no. I see a squirrel dead. It looked ripped apart. I cry and cry, and go to reach for it, but am pulled back. " Anya " Adrian. I snap out of it and run to the side doors. I see Anya on the ground and Adrian trying to get her away. She's screaming and cry, " An " I call ad run over. " don't " I stop her, Adrian let's her go and backs away. " you need to let it go " I tell her, " you promised you'd never do it after that tiger. It's gone An " I tell her. Her eyes..they broke me. Her beautiful blue eyes were red, and she had tears coming down her face, and she looked scared. I bring her into me and hug her tightly. " I'm sorry " Anya cries, " don't be. " I tell her. We stayed like that for about a minute, " How'd you know I was here " she asks, " remember. I feel what you were feeling. And somehow I was seeing what you were. I felt everything, I saw and heard everything. It was kinda creepy " I say, wait I'd done this before. When I was in Roma. I saw dad, and was happy playing in the pool with him, or well Anya was. I never thought about it. Is it because I died that this is happening..." come on An. You need to rest. I'll clean the squirrel " I tell her, she nods. " Adrian can you take her to her room, and get her some water " I ask him, " of course " he says, I could tell by the expression on his face he had questions for me to answer. They walk away and I look at the poor squirrel. I walk over and inspect it, that's when I saw something. I look closer, a bullet. A small little piece of metal was in the squirrels stomach. The squirrel was shot. No ones allowed to have guns here, and we would've heard it. A silencer..I didn't like this. I put on plastic gloves and pick the squirrel up and put it on the ground, in the forest. I use earth and make a whole, and gently lay the squirrel in it, then place the dirt on it. I patted it down with my hands, and made it look natural. I walk back to the school and take off the gloves. I enter the school and put the gloves in the garbage. I realize that we were leaving at 6, to go to the plane, and it was Saturday so no class. But it was 12, and everyone was eating lunch. I walk to the elevator and go to dad's sweet. I exit the elevator and walk to Anya room. I open the door and there on her bed was Anya, drinking a glass of water, and Adrian standing in front of her. " How are you An " I ask, " Better " she gives the empty glass to Adrian, who looks at me. " You should start packing An. We're leaving at 6 " I tell her, she nods and stands and begins packing. Two female guardians enter and help Anya, and me and Adrian leave. " what happen in the summer? " he asked me, I sigh and take his wrist and take him to the elevator. He tries to talk again, but I nod my head at the security camera. We exit the elevator and I take him to the training centre. It was the only place without security camera. " okay. It's a complicated story " I tell him, " tell me " he demanded taking a step closer to me, and the problem was I'm against a wall and he's right in front of me are chest almost touching. " okay.." I say, here goes nothing.
" Anya " I call, " come out come out wherever you are " I say, " AHHHH" An. I run out u to the forest, and see Anya laying on the ground. But that's not all that caught my attention. I gasp at the sight. A white Siberian tiger lays dead, blood on its fur and a giant claw mark on it stomach. Anya stays by it, I can hear her sobs. " An " I whisper, she puts her hands on its stomach where the claw marks are. Then the marks started disappearing, it was healing. I watch as Anya heals it, and next it jumps up, it eyes open and looking around. I take Anya and pull her back to me. The tiger looks at Anya and I, it just stared. Then ran the other way, back into the forest.
" That's what happened " I tell Adrian, he looks at me, " she.." he says, " wait..there's still more to tell, but a different story. " I tell him, here goes.
I walk down the hallway, and all of a sudden, a feeling comes through me. But it wasn't mine. I run to Anya room to see her crying. She was looking at my picture of mom, and me when I was six. I walk over and hug her. " what was she like " An asks, " she was sweet, caring, brace, and she would've loved you An " I tell her, " then why'd she give me up. " she whispers, " I don't know. But she was a single parent with you and me. It's hard for human family's to have kids without a father. " I tell her, she nods, and cries in my lap. " woah " he says, " yeah. Wasn't my summer just perfect " I ask him, sarcastically. " so..you felt her sadness " he asks, " I felt everything Adrian. I sometimes feel her emotions before she does " I tell him. I do feel bad for An. She didn't know mom, I didn't know her very long but I still did know her. " Anything else " Adrian asks, " I think I was in her body when the squirrel..." I whisper, he looks at me eyes widening, " how? " he asks, " I don't know. The emotions thing came in after the tigers death, but still " I say shaking my head, " I don't know what's going on " I say, " I'm distracted Adrian. My sister could be hurt, or..I don't know. And why the heck am I.." " shh" Adrian brought me into his chest and hugged me. He's hugging me..what would Logan say! I back away and look at him. " I'm fine " I say, he looks at me and nods. " but you know if you need anything you can tell me. Me, Tasha, Emily and Carson " Adrian tells me, " why don't you go to people Sophia " Adrian asks me his eyes softening, " because I guess..." should I.." I've felt my whole life not knowing my father, my mother, and I'm an alchemist and sometimes I would lock myself in my room because I felt the fire building up " I say, ashamed. " why are you.." he says, " I don't know! Okay I don't know! I didn't understand what was going on. All of this happened when I was 11, and I was still mourning over the accident I didn't know why to do " I cry, " Anya didn't know she was an alchemist till I found her.." I cry, Adrian brings me into him and I cry on his shoulder. I had finally let it all out. I had let my guard down, and I let my emotion fly. I always have been one to not be afraid to show my emotions but I always seem to hide things from people. " let it out " Adrian says softly, I sob and sob, not able to handle it all. " shh" he whispers, I had finally let it out. And I felt a bit better.
