Dawn arrives, with only a little sunlight the world is still dark. I look up as I hear the flapping of Dragon wings. I see as Ashton, Robin, and Zane land.

I stand waiting for Ashton to look over at me. And as predicted he does, but like me he isn't happy with himself.

"You lied to me." I say.

"Elena... He reaches out to touch me,

"Don't touch me," I push his hand away, "You said that you listened, I told you I hated being lied to. And you flat out lied to me. I could have helped. I should have fought with the rest of my team. But you took Zane's side... even though you knew it would hurt me if you kicked me to the side and flew me to safety while my friends fight a battle. A battle that I brought. It is my fault that they came, and all I did was fly way."

"It was the best choice."

"You know... you know that I am a dragon descendant don't you?"

"Elena how did-?" My aunt buts in,

"I made a few connections."

He avoids eye contact and looks at the ground,

"How long have you known?"

"Elen-"

"How long?!"

"I suspected it the first day I heard you arrived. When the director began to explain the descendants, as well as your aunt saying you had to save everyone. I made further connections."

"Why did you tell me?"

"You were scared... at the possibility that you could be the one to save the world, already stressed that you may have to save the world. If you knew that it was true... you..."

"Here we go. The 'It was to protect you speech'."

"it was!"

"What else do you know?!" I yell, "Do you know that I buried an empty coffin, and that Jackson is not dead...?"

I see him looking away again.

"I...can't do this." I say running off in another direction.

"Elena!" He calls, as I rush off.

How can someone else lie to me. I am sick of these lies.

Later that night I sit beside Aries as they begin to explain the plan.

"Elena, come over. You need to hear this," Zane calls,

"Do I? I am just here because I am bait."

They all look at each other knowing I am partly right.

"Oh, and if you don't want be a dragon magnet, kill me or make sure we go through a bunch of caves or mountains," I add,

"She has a point," Robin comments.

From that point we began to move. We took the paths closest to mountains. We planned to head to the army base, taking the best paths, however we have no idea who will be there.

*******

"Miss she is on the move."

"Dammit! She is getting closer every day!"

"Should we send one of our hunters after her."

"No. I have the perfect idea. El, be prepared."

"Aunt Violet, tell me who I am. Cause I clearly don't know." I say out of the blue,

"Where did this come from?"
