past secrets.

a few hours b4

julia:

"She's starting to suspect something, i can tell."

"She's not. Ok calm down I've watched her at school she's just a normal teenage girl."

"No! This morning she started asking me a lot of questions."

"About what?

"If I'm hiding something from her. God... i couldn't even look her in the eye. I hate lying to her she's so innocent, curious, so...

"Elizabeth."

I looked at him when he said her name. Then i got up from where i was sitting and went to get a glass of water, of course he followed.

"Julia. You need to stop blaming yourself. What happened wasn't your fault."

"We haven't said her name in a really long time.

"I know. You need to let go of the past, for akame's sake."

"Everything i do is for her, but of course you wouldn't understand that would you."

"What is that supposed to mean?

"Nothing. I'm just tired of running."

"I know your tired. I also know that you blame yourself for what happened, but I'm as much to blame as well. I was there too. I took your side...."

"Exactly. you took my side. I started all of this- i MADE you choose."

"You did make me choose, but either way i was mad at her too. It was my decision not yours. We clearly didn't think it will end the way it did. Let's just focus on akame, she's a very important little girl that has had people after her since she was in the womb. We owe both of them this much."

"Are you sure this was a good idea".

"What?

"Moving back here. Enrolling her in your school."

"I made that school for people like her, she is safe there everyone is. And Ava is looking after her everything is fine. Also I've been meaning to ask you something.... about akame."

"What is it?

"She found out about My "special class".

"No. Absolutely not." i said walking towards the dining room.

"Julia she keeps asking me and no matter how many times i say no she still ask."

"Well then just keep saying no."

He stood there looking at me with a frown on his face.

"She needs this. I know that you have been teaching her fighting skills which aren't bad, but.... you haven't showed her or tell her the important stuff."

"The important stuff? What part because there's a lot that she doesn't know, and if she ever finds out that i am not her...(*sigh) She's going to hate me."

"She won't hate you. She'll be upset and hurt but, after everything i don't think she could ever hate you." Said josh.

I'm glad that after everything i still have him, but no matter what he says to me, i know that i could never fully forgive myself for what i did to Elizabeth. I chose to walk away. I chose to abandon her when she really needed me the most. I was angry and hurt and i wanted her to feel the same way, but josh is right. I have to do everything i can to keep Akame safe- i do owe her that and more.

"Well, as fun as it is to bond once again and talk about the past i must leave, I have to get back before 4:00p.m kids will be coming to SC. Oh and i might bring Akame."

I hurry up and looked at him. I was about protest but he said something before i could.

"I need you to trust me."

"I do trust you, but what if something goes wrong and she gets hurt, or someone turns and she see's it again. Do you know how hard it is to keep things from her, and then having her ask me all these questions what the hell am i supposed to say!

"Calm down. I already told u that she's safe. Either you trust me or you don't."

I looked at him for a few seconds. I do trust him, but i have been running since Akame was 3. Coming back here it just feel like I'm letting my guard down and i could NEVER let that happen. Not while he's still alive.

"Your my brother. You have been there since the beginning... of course i trust you."

"Good." He said with a smile heading towards the door. "I'll talk to you later."

PRESENT TIME: Ashely

When he told us to fight i was confident, i had nothing to worry about. I was so sure that i would win i HAD to win. This girl is nothing but a weak human and if i loose here to her and mother finds out... Well, she definitely won't be happy.

Everything was going ok, or so i thought. Akame grabbed me and wrapped me around her legs. She wouldn't let go. I know i haven't been training lately, but with my powers i just feel like i don't really need it. ( i clearly do ) I can't loose. I WILL NOT loose. I can easily get out of her grip if i just use my power. But that'll be cheating. So instead i tried pushing her off me. I tried reaching for her face but ended up grabbing her necklace and pulling it off her. She didn't immediately let go. But when she did she looked off, paler than what she already is. It was probably 30 seconds when she came back to her senses, she fell to the ground.

"Akame! are you ok? said Dylan running to her.

"Did you see it? she asked.

"See what?

"Nothing never mind."

I didn't notice that i was still holding on to her necklace until i felt my hand burning. Like if it where on fire. I immediately dropped it.

"That was a good fight, you both could use a bit more practice but it was good. said mr.william walking towards me picking up the necklace i dropped. "You guys are welcome to keep training i have a few things to take care of."

And that was it. Everyone went back to doing whatever it was that they where doing before all this.

Dylan

"Are you sure your ok?

"I promise I am. I haven't really been feeling good lately but I'm sure it'll pass."

"I hope you feel better."

"Thanks." she said with a smile.

I can't stop looking at her why do i feel this way.

"So um do you want to go somewhere, get some fresh air?

"Uhh yeah sure."

"Cool you can come over to my place."

She seemed uncomfortable when i said that.

"Just to watch a movie or talk if you want. Or we can go somewhere else."

"I would have to ask my mom and knowing her she'll probably say no."

" Mmm protective mom i see." i said with a smile.

"Ha! more like OVER-PROTECTIVE mom. I love her but sometimes i feel trapped i guess, like... i don't know *chuckle.

" I get it. My parents well they have it all figured out for me, sometimes i feel like i owe them somehow. So i try to do what i can like going to the schools they choose or being the best at everything ( not that i am) but i know that they care and love me."

"something tells me that you didn't choose this school?

"No. I use to go to a normal school and-

"Normal school? What do you mean by that?

You can tell just by looking at her that she was genuinely curious. The thing is that she's knew to this school I'm still not sure how much it is that she knows about this place/class. I don't even know if she knows about me. That fact that mr.williams let her in means that she knows at least a few things about it. I just don't think i should tell her that i can turn into a wolf just yet and that this school was better suited for me because of that.

"You know. just a regular high school, i think they just wanted me to be close to home.( that was definitely a lie if anything they wanted to keep tabs on me and make sure a got my s**t together.)

" Yeah well if it makes you feel any better my mom chose this school for me too."

"Really."

"Yeah. we're always moving, mom for some reason always gets a job or i don't know, its always something since i was really young. We're always moving, some times it feels like we're running from something."

"What makes you say that?

"Well there was this one time, i got home from school and mom looked off, like nervous and she was running back and forth packing a few things then she handed me a bag and said let's go. I remember asking her questions but she never answered any, if anything she would change the subject and try to act all normal.

"Thats kinda sketchy, did she never tell you why?

"Nah. But it was long time ago i was 12 around that age so she probably doesn't remember, plus is my last year in school so it doesn't really matter which school i go too."

"I kinda hope you stay for a while."

she looked at me. I don't know what it is or why but i have this strong feeling that i don't quite understand when I'm near her, all i know is that i have too. I can't be away.
