Chapter 1 Episode 5 – Are secrets worth keeping?

  The sky was starless that night, everything quieted down as the tensions within the group rose.I sat ontop of my bed, looking out at the town. All of the sudden there was a knock at the door.

  “Huh, oh, come in..” Akira poked his head out from behind the door

  “Mezu?”

  “Oh Akira, are you okay?”

  “Yeah I’m fine, more importantly, are you?” I let out a sigh looking over at him

  “I’m fine, I should’ve figured they’d find out eventually”

  “Right, do you mind if I ask why you kept it from them?” I paused, before taking another shaky breath

  “I did it because I couldn’t have them go and face whatever has her, I’d rather face it alone than put you all in danger” Akira frowned, walking further into my room.

  “You know they would all love to help you, no matter the cost.”

  “I just saw them again, I couldn’t risk already losing them”

  “You need to have more faith in them, they’re much more stronger than you think” I turned my body to face him, looking away slightly.

  “I…I know, my reasons aren’t very strong..”

  “I get it, we all have those weaknesses, even I do” A smile graced my lips,

  “you haven’t changed one bit since back then, always pulling me out from my messes”

  “Oh please, like you didn’t have to save my sorry ass thousands of times” I let out a chuckle

  “Thanks Akira, I think I’ll go talk to him”

  “Okay, I hope it goes well” he leaves the room and I quickly sit up. I walk out of the door, and down the stairs to Chris’s room. Softly, I knocked on the door.

  “….Mezu?”

  “Yeah it’s me”

  “..come in”

  I open the door and walk in, Chris is sitting on the ground, ying against his bed, his eyes looked red and iridescent.

  “…Chris, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to hide it from you”

  “Mira has been gone for so long, I was so worried, couldn’t you have at least told me?”

  “I don’t know why, I wasn’t thinking, I’ve never been thinking straight, not even when we met face to face again, I’m so sorry, I’m going to make this right, I promise”

  “You promise?”

  “Of course, we’ll get Mira back with us again”

  He wipes his eyes and looks back at me

  “Okay, I believe you, I’m sorry too I overreacted”

  “No, you were right I can’t hide this stuff”

  “Right..we have our first day tomorrow, you should go to bed before you distract yourself”

  “I do not distract myself!” He snickers, pushing himself back onto his feet

  “Whatever you say sis, goodnight, we can talk more tomorrow”

  “Right, goodnight” he closed the door as I walked out and I made my way back to my dorm.

  After a short while I had changed into my night clothes. I yed down under the fluffy sheets and looked over at my desk, the red rose, I wonder if we’re still the same after all this time.

  I opened my eyes to the sound of an arm clock, the sun was barely rising. It was around 6 o clock, two hours before csses started. Sheets fell off my body as I stretched upwards, yawing slightly. Our first day at the academy.

  I stood up, looking out the window to the rge castle like building next to us. It felt like we were in a fairy tale, in a way we kinda were.

  I opened one of my dressers, pulling out a dark blue cardigan and a white undershirt with a bck skirt to top it off. I put my hair into my normal ponytail and grabbed everything I would need.

  Surprisingly, the downstairs was just as lively as yesterday.

  “Hey Mezu! Are you ready?” Ssher asked excitingly, practically jumping up and down

  “I guess- I just hope I don’t get too much attention, we’ve become a spectacle from what I’ve heard”

  “Oh yeah, rumors of Demi gods coming to the school, it’s everywhere” Chris was sipping a cup of coffee as he looked annoyed

  “I hope they aren’t aggressive-“

  “I think we all do” Jackson stated nervously

  “Aww cmon guys! It won’t be like that! Think about it, if all these people know about us then they must know to treat us like any other students”

  “She has a point” I responded

  “You guys are telling me- I may as well have my own fan base at this school already-“ Ivy sighed, taking another bite out of a bagel

  “Anyways it’ll be great! Let’s just be positive!” Everyone hummed in agreement.

  The clock hit seven fifty five and the rge clock at the top of the school began to chime, signaling that csses had started, everyone rushed out the dorms, leaving me and Akira

  “Well then, you ready?” He asked, smiling at me

  “Yeah, let’s go, time won’t wait for us”
