Chapter 14

"What?" I blinked as I put on a confused face, on the inside, though, I was freaking out. What the hell do I do? Shall I tell them the full truth already? "What do you mean 'liar'"

"I mean that you're hiding something from us. I noticed it ever since that time on the airship after the second phase of the exam," was Killua's reply. He was glaring at me slightly.

Gon then spoke, "I noticed it, too. You weren't exactly lying back then; just not telling the entire truth. I thought that you'd trust us enough to eventually tell us but..."

"Don't you trust us, Katerina? Aren't we your friends?" I stayed silent, not knowing how to respond to the assassin's words. "Answer me! Tell us the truth!"

"..."

"Say something, dammit!"

"..."

"Kat, you're our friend, and we're yours, aren't we? You can tell us. Trust us, please." Gon looked hurt and a pang of guilt went through my heart when I saw his glossy caramel eyes.

"I do trust you..." I whispered, looking down.

"Then tell us! What can be so dangerous that you wouldn't tell us? Even I told you the truth about my family," Killua's previously harsh voice softened.

I wanted to tell them. I just didn't know how I could explain that I'm basically from a different world . Deciding to finally tell them, I opened up and spoke, explaining the truth about myself, telling them as much of it as I know.

I sighed, "It's a long story that even I still don't understand. You remember what I told you about about me being adopted by an abusive mother and my adoptive older brother dying?" They nodded. "That was true. He died protecting me, and ever since he did, my so-called mother would hurt me even more than usual that it didn't even faze me anymore. One day, after my usual eight hours of training, I went home. When I came down from my room, my mother started her usual activities, physical and mental abuse. She hit a nerve when she started talking about how I was the reason Ace died, then she grabbed a silver kitchen knife and tried to kill me, but I had managed to dodge...somewhat; she was able to stab my side and then aimed for my heart again. I took the knife from her and killed her instead. The pain on my side caught up to me, as well as the blood loss. Just before I passed out --I don't know if I was only imagining it or not-- but a white light engulfed me. When I woke up, I was on the ship taking us to the Exam site with all my wounds healed in a 12-year-old body instead of a 16-year-old one.

So basically, I am from a completely different world where Nen doesn't exist, nor does the Hunter Exam... a world where you're all nothing more than fictional characters from an anime I watched, meaning I know your futures, but not mine. I still have no idea what-so-ever on how I got into this world in the first place, but I sure as hell do not want to leave." I basically just broke the fourth wall, but I didn't care. As an afterthought, I added, "And I also have no idea on how my aura nodes were open when I came here, but I already knew all about Nen, so it wasn't a problem."

Gon and Killua both stared at me as if I had grown a second head, but who could blame them? I would have the same reaction.

"Wait. So you're basically saying that you're an alien that is stalking us? " Killua put on a cat face. My eyes widened. He isn't even questioning my story? 

"You...believe me?"

"What can I say, you're a bad liar. If you were lying just now, I would have easily figured it out." He shrugged with a smirk, looking at me.

Gon tilted his head to the side, "But I don't get why you didn't tell us sooner...?"

I was about to reply, by the silverette beat me to it as he sat down on the couch, hands behind his head. "Well, she can't exactly just go around saying that she's from a different world and knows our future. What if the wrong people get the information, like Hisoka for example?"

"I didn't think about that," The blackette sweat-dropped.

"But seriously though. You actually killed your mother? I mean, she deserved it for everything she did to you, but damn, I never expected you to turn out to be a killer like me. Then again, you did mention killing fifty prisoners during the exam and that guy you killed a couple months back during your match, so I shouldn't be surprised."

I chuckled, shaking my head at my friend. How is it that he always manages to make me feel better about everything? 

A/N: Uh... hey everyone? Please don't kill me because I haven't updated this last month, and when I finally do, it's like half as long as usual. I just ain't in the right mood to write what with online school and taekwondo training, I just can't find the time. But I'll keep updating whenever I could. 

And I need to say thanks for 1.1K reads, I honestly didn't expect this story to reach 500. Again, thank you all so much
