Fragments of Red and Blue (A 07-Ghost Fanfic!)

Chapter 10

Akane's POV:

"Right.. So how exactly does this work out? You don't even know if I know that you're two of the seven ghosts you idiots. I could be some sort of innocent bystander. How do you even know that's my phone? It could be.. Uh.. Help me out here Astriel I'm running out of ideas." I ranted; completely forgetting that these were things I was meant to be keeping a secret.

'Well if they didn't know before they sure do now...' I felt Astriel mentally face-palm. 'We probably could've successfully got out of this mess.. But you just had to dig yourself a deeper grave didn't you?'

'You know I don't do well under pressure! Why didn't you intervene or something?!' I mentally screamed; God I was so freaking screwed. 

'You’re unpredictable! I didn’t know you were going to say that!-- you know what? I'm not even going to argue with you over this. Good luck Little Girl, I’m.. How would you put it? ‘noping out of the situation’ Goodbye~' She chuckled; leaving me to defend myself. Why is my eye so bipolar?! One minute she wants to help me the next she acts like she wants to get rid of me! 

‘Don’t even do this to me Astriel, I’m panicking as it is! Astriel? Astriel?!’ No matter how hard I tried to get her attention; she didn’t reply. Great. Just perfect. What the heck am I going to do now? 

Well I guess paying attention to my surroundings instead of holding inside rant parties might be a good place to start.

Castor frowned; and he reached to pull off his glove. Slowly, he pulled the thing completely off, revealing the ‘Fest’ mark. "I'm sorry to have to do this, but it's the rules.." He mumbled. Welp, I’m screwed. 

"Can we not talk this through first? I mean, I'm gonna end up losing my damn memories anyway. I know that much. What the hell do you take me for?" I sighed irritably; I really wasn't in the mood for this right now. Stupid Astriel and computers..

"What are you talking about?" He raised an eyebrow. “Who’s Astriel?” Why do I keep releasing information that I should be keeping a secret…? Stupid, stupid brain.

“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” I stared at the ground; not bothering to look at him.

“Oh really? I’m sure it’s not that--” I interrupted him before he could continue his little.. Speech thing. I guess I’ll tell him; the bishops probably think I’m insane anyway so this should be interesting I guess.

“Astriel is a friend of mine.. Well I wouldn’t really call her a friend.. More of an acquaintance actually..” I stopped; looking at the two of them. 

“What were you worried about? It’s not that--” Frau started to say. I coughed intentionally; and sighed heavily. 

“Man you guys are gonna think I’m freaking insane by the end of this…” I mumbled; knowing that they most definitely heard me. 

Frau face-palmed. “Of course there’s more; there’s always more when it comes to you.” 

“I’ll take that as a compliment~ Now, there’s.. Um.. how do I say this… Something about Astriel.” I smirked; happy with the way that sentence came out. 

“Does she live on the other side of the world?” Castor inquired; he appeared to be genuinely curious. 

“Nope~”

“Is she in some sort of Insane Asylum?” Frau questioned. 

“Nope.” 

“Does she work at this Church and you wanted to keep your friendship a secret?”
