Secrets Open

Chapter 7

Natosha up top

I turn and look at her confused, "Does she know?" I huff out a little laugh at her question, "Yes, she does, but she disapproves, " I say 'disapproves' mocking the headmistress, "and she thinks it's not right and that I'll plain be an abomination if I get with a girl I'm a girl or go around as a male." I give her a sad smile, "That's just how the headmistress is. She'll never change. Maybe in another life. But not this one."

Becca gives my hand a squeeze but doesn't let go, "I'm sorry she's like that. And I'm sorry that I reached for your hood and got bit. If I didn't, this would never have happened. I start laughing and Becca let's go of my hand in shock, "Y-You think-" I hold a hand to my chest, "Phew, Kitty you don't need to apologize. It was stupid of you, yes, but she is my parent, I can't avoid her or that problem. It's fine Kitty." I give her a smile than shake my head, letting out a small chuckle, "It seems you're okay to walk on your own now, so I see it's okay for you to go and get back to your friends and what not. The butter won't take long to heal so I won't have to re-wrap it again. At least hopefully not."

I nod to her, "You can get back to your classes. I won't be attending so you're going to have to make an excuse yourself." I walk to to my desk and grab Shadow, putting him back in my hood. I jerk my head to the door, "You coming or what?" Becca nods and walks out the door with me following after, "I'll walk you to class and then I'll be on my way." Becca smiles at me, "Okay, thank you." I nod and we continue off to her class.

After I drop Becca off at class I decide it's time to head into headquarters. I should probably go to the gym, but they might also have an assignment for me. Okay, guess I'm going to the case director then gym.

I jog to the building nodding to the people who wave or nod to me, "Ayyy, Natosha! Guess the director isn't in today. Any new cases for me?" A girl around twenty with short blue hair and gray eyes turns to me, a small smile gracing her lips, "Ah, welcome back Octavian. Let me see if you have one." She goes to the back where all the filing cabinets are.
I hear a ruckus behind me and turn. Ah, it seems the boys have cornered someone again,"I'll be over by the gym Nat. The boys cornered someone again." I shout back to her then run up to the boys with their dogs, "Boys stop harassing people or do you want to go back to the hospital?" I say smirking at them as they turn around with a sneer on their lips, "They're trespassing. We don't know how they got down here. The trespasser won't tell us why they're down here so we're going to beat it out of them."

I sigh, "That's not always the best way to do things boys." They chuckle, "Says the most violent headquarters, Shadow Assassin." He says my title mockingly. I smirk, "So you remember my title. Good boy." I wink at him, "I'll give you a treat later. Actually I think your boy toy and let's have that covered plenty." I chuckle and wave my hand at them, "Now move boys and let me see this so called trespasser. I'm sure I could get something out of them." The boys straighten up, "Make us." One growls out. Such children.

I laugh, "You really want to do this in front of he trespasser? And you also gave out my title. You don't know whether this is a spy or not and yet you're so open to spout things that they don't need to know out of that ugly mouth of yours. Bravo boys." They growl again. These two humans really think they can beat me with their pets?
They lung. Okay so be it.

I jump over them, "Try again, you missed." I smirk as my wings come out, "Come here dog-" I freeze when I hear a gasp. I whip around, forgetting about the fight, "Becca." I gasp out, as Becca stares at me. Fear and wonder in her eyes, "Close your ey-" I get cut off as one of the dogs jump and latches on to my side. The reason for them not getting my arm? I had them up, showing Becca I had nothing in them to try and calm her down.

With a growl I rip the dog off me and throw it at the the boys. Another one of their dogs go for me and I pick it up by the scruff of the neck, tossing it to the side. I here one of the yell and turn right as he swings at me. With a smirk I grab that arm and slam my palm under his elbow, breaking it and making the bone break and stick out of his skin. He drops,holding his arm, letting out a pained scream. The other stops in his tracks. I raise a brow at him, "You done? I warned you." He glares at me as he helps the other one and they run off with their dogs following after.

I turn to Becca not meeting her eyes, "You're not supposed to be here. Why are you here Bec-" I hear someone run up to us and stop with a gasp, "Octavian your side!" Natosha drops my case file and tries to gently pull my shirt up to look at the bite. With a sigh I push her hand away, "I'm fine Natosha. I'll take care of it later. Can I have my case now?" Natosha looks at me, concerned, "You sure? That looks pretty gnarly." I laugh and pat her shoulder, "I'm sure. I'm going to have to deal with Becca and then I'll stitch it up. But I'm okay." She narrows her eyes at me, but she knows she change my mind. I pull her into a hug and whisper, "I'm okay. I promise Nat." She puts she head in the crook of my neck and wraps her arms around me, "Okay. I trust that you are." I take a step back and she looks behind me, "You know the trespasser? She going to be your responsibility. She saw your wings."

I tense, "Shit!" I immediately put my wings away, letting out a loud groan, "Great. Just great. More I have to deal with." I look to Becca, "Come on get up." She doesn't listen, she just stares at me. I growl, irritated, "Now!" I tumble out, making her jump. Natosha grabs my arm in a tight grip, "Octavian calm down. I know you have enough on your plate but don't take it out on her. Just go see Acria and see what's going to happen." I groan and lean on Natosha with a pout, "But I just saw her like ten minutes ago." Natosha laughs, "Sorry man. Guess you're going to have to see her again."

The pouts stays on my face and she pats my head, "Now here." She hands me my case before walking off, "See you later Nat!" I yell after her then turn to Becca, "Come on, time to see the headmistress again and see what has to be done." Becca still just sits there, staring at me. I growl, walking over to her and throwing her over my shoulder with a wince.
