Telling them about the story of entering Freyas mind was not easy, especially when Freya and I had the complicated relationship of patient and healer (ntal healer on my case). I was very surprised when Freya seed like she was okay with telling my friends though.
I told them what happened a couple of months ago, but I did not tell them everything though, like what Freya's situation was for example or what was inside Freyas mind.
I wasnt sure what happened but all of a sudden, we were inside my mind and Freya got pulled in it. I said.
So youre saying you have an ability to enter peoples minds? asked Peter with a very shocked expression. Youve never done that to us, right?
Of course not! So far only Thomas and Freya were the ones I tried it on, Thomas being a complete accident! I answered.
At the ntion of his na, Thomas imdiately perked up.
-Right, I did never tell him about that.
You did what?! Thomas exclaid.
Ill tell you the details and apologize to you later. I said to calm him down. Anyway, as you are all aware already, I sort of do not have any recollection of my mories before I was taken in by my current guardian, but that ti, Freya and I saw what happened to before I was saved.
Whether you believe it or not, Little Miss Perfect here saw her village and everyone in it get slaughtered and burned. She also witnessed the death of her parents on the hands of so creature with intelligence. Freya added. She was about to die herself but weird stuff happened and we got out.
Yeah Thats what happened. I apologize for not telling you about it. I said shyly.
Silence once again enveloped us and to be honest, I was sort of getting uncomfortable with it. My friends were a noisy bunch, so such silence was sothing I was not used to around them. I was already thinking of how they would misunderstand . I couldnt help but sigh at that.
-I bet theyll give worse reactions if I reveal to them the other secrets Im keeping.
I sighed again in disappointnt. Disappointnt to myself.
All of a sudden, a hand was placed on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Kai with a smile on his face.
Its sothing between you and Freya. You dont have to apologize you know.
What? I asked, a bit baffled at his words.
Kai is right. Peter inserted. People are entitled to have secrets that they wish to keep for themselves. Even we have our own secrets. And we wish for it to remain that way. Who wants to share their secrets to others?
Peter?
My mind was blank as they spoke. To be honest I was really shocked at their responses.
Luna, Andrea called. The first ti I t you, I already knew you carry a lot of secrets. People like you tend to do so. We respect your desire of keeping it, after all theyre your secrets. Although, just rember that we will always be here to listen if you want talk about it in the future.
Andreas got a point. Bernard seconded. We will wait when youre ready to share them. Besides, it's probably the sa thing with us.
You guys
I didnt even notice I was already crying. I felt so guilty as I heard their words. They were saying all those things but I outright lied to them just a few monts ago.
-Do I even deserve to be their friend?
I continued bawling, sothing I couldnt believe I would ever do even in my current life. I could hear my friends try to soothe so I could stop crying, but I was so touched at their words that I couldnt help but cry even more.
Damn it, you guys are so sappy. said an annoyed Freya who scoffed at the scene we were making on the rooftop.
All of us froze and looked at her. I was told so of them actually glared at her because of her insensitive comnt.
I dont have to make such promises, were not even friends. Anyway, if were done here, Im going. she stood up and left the rooftop imdiately.
We just looked at each other and snickered. On my case, I felt a little relieved. Even with such atmosphere, we could still be friends. They even promised to wait for to tell them my secrets.
At that mont, I realized (ti and ti again) that I found such great friends and I would do my best to protect them, especially with what I just learned the previous night. That ti, I also hoped they would still accept and consider a friend once they find out who I really am.
We stayed there for a few more minutes before we left. All of us still had to go back to our own hos and I was pretty sure my friends families were waiting for them.
Just as we were about to leave, Bernard called my attention.
Yeah? I asked after hearing him call my na.
Can I talk to you? Just the two of us.
I turned to the others who just gave a nod and completely left the rooftop.
Ill wait for you in your room. Thomas said. We were going to go ho together later.
I stood before Bernard and I noticed that he was evading my gaze and he was actually fidgeting at where he stood.
What is it? Spill.
Uhm About your familiar
Vyfal?
I kept thinking about it, as I waited for you to wake up. Vyfals true form, its a qilin, isnt it?
I couldnt help but gasp and step back in surprise.
-How does he know that? I thought Vyfal is the only qilin in Afasia?
Bernard, I
I know one when I see one. he said. At least she fits the description I know. Im not sure about the color though. But shes definitely a qilin isnt she?
How did you know that? I asked, but I could hear my voice beco edgy, sothing I usually do when Im a bit skeptical.
How did you make a qilin your familiar? he asked again. Are you perhaps Perhaps youre-
My aunt gave her to as an egg. I admitted. I was trying to be truthful after the lie I just told them.
Your... aunt?
Yes. Bernard, you did not answer my question; how did you know Vyfal is a qilin?
I he took a deep breath. I dont know how to explain it, but do you know the term Chinese?
-Chinese?
I racked my brain for the term, after all I found it familiar. A mory of Aunt Zaira telling that so of the words she sotis mutters by herself was called Chinese language.
-But I thought she said nobody else would know about it?
How did you know that term as well? I asked again.
So you do know it.
Not , my aunt. I replied in a confused manner.
Luna, I promise to tell you and our friends about it but first, I must et your aunt. Can you help et your aunt?
I beg your pardon?
I was taken aback at his request. Aunt Zaira, in many ways is strange (no offense), but I was studying incognito and nobody knew my real connection to her. But Bernard wanting to et her would an I had to reveal it.
In fact, shell probably want to et . he suddenly pulled out a piece of paper and gave it to . I checked it and saw strange symbols written on it.
-These symbols seem familiar
Give that to your aunt. Bernard said, cutting off from my thoughts. Once she sees that, shell probably want to et .
I stared at Bernard and the note. Bernard had always been optimistic but the one I was seeing in front of was soone with a desperate look. Soone desperate to have answers to his questions. And so
Fine Ill give it to her, but I wont promise anything.
Thats fine by .
I sighed. I decided to might as well do it.
-What could go wrong?
