Submitted March 30, 2006 Updated May 7, 2006 Status Incomplete | Patrick has finally set up a place for n00bs, though its a day away from Varrock, so he and Aay hardly get to see eachother, and a new power has arisen.

<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I opened my eyes, the light from the window shining brightly down on me. I felt better, so I tried to sit up a little bit. It didn't hurt that much, so I got up and stretched out a bit. I could breathe a little easier now. I yawned and went to go look for Patrick.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
When I opened the door, I found nobody standing around nearby.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Patrick!” I called. “Otaku! Webbuu! Blitzer!” Nobody was there.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I groaned and began searching for them. When I got to the door that led outside, I heard some talking. I looked out the window and there stood everyone, all in a group. They were talking to some people I didn't recognize.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I was about to walk out when I heard my name being spoken. I crept to the window and leaned up close to it. I didn't like spying, but I had to find out what they were saying.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“You leave Aay and the others out of this. You have no business here,” Patrick was saying.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Hmph,” growled an old voice. I peeked over and saw it was Anton. Anton? What was he doing here?
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Oh, yes we do,” Anton said, a smug look on his face. “You don't know what her family has done to us and everyone else.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
My family? I gulped, trying not to think of them. I didn't want that secret out. I glanced worriedly at Patrick.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Aay's family?” Patrick asked.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“If you're against Aay, then how come you are tormenting Patrick's clan?” Blitzer asked, taking a step closer.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“What is Patrick's pain, is Miss Aay's pain,” a woman explained who was standing next to Anton. She held a fire wizards staff and had mid length silver hair.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Next to her I noticed standing Ragetti. “What Li said is correct,” Ragetti said.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I could see it plain written on Patrick's face. That was true. Mostly. I do not know what it quite feels like to having what Patrick worked on for awhile all burned to a crisp. But I am pained because Patrick is.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I looked over at Blitzer and the rest of the group. They were probably all confused, and I would want them to stay that way. What my family had done was my business.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
But then Ragetti ruined it, almost. “Would you like to know what Miss Aay's family did? Who her parents really were?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Shut up, Ragetti. Shut up shut up shut up.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
He started talking again. “Aay's parents… they were…”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I barged out the door, the door making a loud smack against the wall. I growled and walked in front of Ragetti and pointed my finger at him. “What has to do with my family is my business.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Ah, yes, that is only reasonable, right?” Anton said. “Protecting them?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I didn't look at anyone, just at the ground, clenching my hands tightly. “I. Am. NOT. Protecting. Them.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Then why hide it?” Anton said.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
It hurts. I don't want everyone to hate me for what I really am. That is why I have not spoken of it. I don't even want to remember it.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
But I only say: “You wouldn't understand.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Li growled and took a step closer to me. “I worked with your older sister, until she turned. I know what she was. What she did.” Li gulped and looked away. “How she murdered my parents.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I glared at the ground. The whole story is going to come out.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“That,” Anton began, “Is why, we cannot allow the child of Sir Dark and Lady Scarlet live.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Shadow, who was standing not to far away from me, gasped. “Sir Dark, and… Lady Scarlet?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Oh yes, you would know them, would you? They murdered your family,” Ragetti said.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Shadow cursed and I could feel his glare off my back.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Li walked up to me and lifted my head with her finger, looking at me at eye level. “How do we know if she isn't some spy, trying to rebuild her parent's clan?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I knocked her hand away and backed up a little. “I'm not doing that.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Blitzer came up beside me. “She cannot change who she is. She may be…” Blitzer said to be saying it painfully. “She may be the child of Dark and Scarlet, but she is still Aay. Our friend.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I felt my eyes tearing up and I gave a small smile to Blitzer.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I felt my hand taken by another's and I saw Patrick standing there, holding my hand. He gave it a squeeze. “I trust her.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Anton growled and glowered. “How do you know? She could be just playing with you.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I shook my head. “I'm not. And I have one point to make out: If you think I am that sort of person, and also burned Patrick's clan house down, saying that my pain is his pain when you think its not… You're just a sick person, making people miserable.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“There might be one reason,” Patrick started saying quietly. “My brother, Dav. He was also in that type of clan. A killing, brutal, clan.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Ragetti laughed. “You hit the mark.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Li stepped in between Ragetti and Anton. “Time to go, boys.” She held out her arms, a purple light surrounding her, Ragetti, and Anton. They disappeared, teleporting somewhere.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I took a deep breath. “Well, I had planned to keep this secret. I had disagreed with my family, and as brutal as they were, I was cast out. I didn't know how to fight, and so I went to go start over at the Tutorial Island.” I laughed. “And tried to bury everything and not think of it again.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Otaku stepped up. “Do you mind if I tell the story of your parents to the ones who don't know?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I sighed and nodded slowly. It's mostly out now. “It won't hurt to let them know, I guess.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Otaku closed her eyes and began talking. “Sir Dark and Lady Scarlet were one of the best fighters of all Runescape. Once they had achieved of being the best, they wanted more. They became hunters. Mercenaries. Finally, they would kill anyone who came in their way. Some of our parents were caught in their lies and killed. We probably all know someone who was killed.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Then, your brother, Patrick, was accepted into the clan. Sir Dark began to train him himself, showing Dav his every move, hoping to make a successor. And once Dav had become stronger, Dav took advantage, and killed your father, Aay.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Hmph,” I growled. “Not much of a loss.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“How do you know about this, Otaku?” Patrick said.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Otaku motioned her head towards Shadow. “We're both white knights. Shadow was a spy learning about the clan. We white knight's learn about everyone's story one way or another. I know Shadow wouldn't like explaining this.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Shadow just grunted and looked away, a hateful scowl on his face.

“Oh,” I said quietly, mostly to myself. I averted my gaze and looked up towards the sky. I sighed. “I hope you guys can forgive me for this.”

I opened my eyes, the light from the window shining brightly down on me. I felt better, so I tried to sit up a little bit. It didn't hurt that much, so I got up and stretched out a bit. I could breathe a little easier now. I yawned and went to go look for Patrick.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
When I opened the door, I found nobody standing around nearby.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Patrick!” I called. “Otaku! Webbuu! Blitzer!” Nobody was there.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I groaned and began searching for them. When I got to the door that led outside, I heard some talking. I looked out the window and there stood everyone, all in a group. They were talking to some people I didn't recognize.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I was about to walk out when I heard my name being spoken. I crept to the window and leaned up close to it. I didn't like spying, but I had to find out what they were saying.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“You leave Aay and the others out of this. You have no business here,” Patrick was saying.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Hmph,” growled an old voice. I peeked over and saw it was Anton. Anton? What was he doing here?
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Oh, yes we do,” Anton said, a smug look on his face. “You don't know what her family has done to us and everyone else.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
My family? I gulped, trying not to think of them. I didn't want that secret out. I glanced worriedly at Patrick.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Aay's family?” Patrick asked.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“If you're against Aay, then how come you are tormenting Patrick's clan?” Blitzer asked, taking a step closer.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“What is Patrick's pain, is Miss Aay's pain,” a woman explained who was standing next to Anton. She held a fire wizards staff and had mid length silver hair.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Next to her I noticed standing Ragetti. “What Li said is correct,” Ragetti said.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I could see it plain written on Patrick's face. That was true. Mostly. I do not know what it quite feels like to having what Patrick worked on for awhile all burned to a crisp. But I am pained because Patrick is.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I looked over at Blitzer and the rest of the group. They were probably all confused, and I would want them to stay that way. What my family had done was my business.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
But then Ragetti ruined it, almost. “Would you like to know what Miss Aay's family did? Who her parents really were?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Shut up, Ragetti. Shut up shut up shut up.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
He started talking again. “Aay's parents… they were…”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I barged out the door, the door making a loud smack against the wall. I growled and walked in front of Ragetti and pointed my finger at him. “What has to do with my family is my business.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Ah, yes, that is only reasonable, right?” Anton said. “Protecting them?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I didn't look at anyone, just at the ground, clenching my hands tightly. “I. Am. NOT. Protecting. Them.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Then why hide it?” Anton said.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
It hurts. I don't want everyone to hate me for what I really am. That is why I have not spoken of it. I don't even want to remember it.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
But I only say: “You wouldn't understand.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Li growled and took a step closer to me. “I worked with your older sister, until she turned. I know what she was. What she did.” Li gulped and looked away. “How she murdered my parents.”

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I glared at the ground. The whole story is going to come out.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“That,” Anton began, “Is why, we cannot allow the child of Sir Dark and Lady Scarlet live.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Shadow, who was standing not to far away from me, gasped. “Sir Dark, and… Lady Scarlet?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Oh yes, you would know them, would you? They murdered your family,” Ragetti said.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Shadow cursed and I could feel his glare off my back.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Li walked up to me and lifted my head with her finger, looking at me at eye level. “How do we know if she isn't some spy, trying to rebuild her parent's clan?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I knocked her hand away and backed up a little. “I'm not doing that.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Blitzer came up beside me. “She cannot change who she is. She may be…” Blitzer said to be saying it painfully. “She may be the child of Dark and Scarlet, but she is still Aay. Our friend.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I felt my eyes tearing up and I gave a small smile to Blitzer.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I felt my hand taken by another's and I saw Patrick standing there, holding my hand. He gave it a squeeze. “I trust her.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Anton growled and glowered. “How do you know? She could be just playing with you.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I shook my head. “I'm not. And I have one point to make out: If you think I am that sort of person, and also burned Patrick's clan house down, saying that my pain is his pain when you think its not… You're just a sick person, making people miserable.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“There might be one reason,” Patrick started saying quietly. “My brother, Dav. He was also in that type of clan. A killing, brutal, clan.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Ragetti laughed. “You hit the mark.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Li stepped in between Ragetti and Anton. “Time to go, boys.” She held out her arms, a purple light surrounding her, Ragetti, and Anton. They disappeared, teleporting somewhere.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I took a deep breath. “Well, I had planned to keep this secret. I had disagreed with my family, and as brutal as they were, I was cast out. I didn't know how to fight, and so I went to go start over at the Tutorial Island.” I laughed. “And tried to bury everything and not think of it again.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Otaku stepped up. “Do you mind if I tell the story of your parents to the ones who don't know?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I sighed and nodded slowly. It's mostly out now. “It won't hurt to let them know, I guess.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Otaku closed her eyes and began talking. “Sir Dark and Lady Scarlet were one of the best fighters of all Runescape. Once they had achieved of being the best, they wanted more. They became hunters. Mercenaries. Finally, they would kill anyone who came in their way. Some of our parents were caught in their lies and killed. We probably all know someone who was killed.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Then, your brother, Patrick, was accepted into the clan. Sir Dark began to train him himself, showing Dav his every move, hoping to make a successor. And once Dav had become stronger, Dav took advantage, and killed your father, Aay.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Hmph,” I growled. “Not much of a loss.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“How do you know about this, Otaku?” Patrick said.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Otaku motioned her head towards Shadow. “We're both white knights. Shadow was a spy learning about the clan. We white knight's learn about everyone's story one way or another. I know Shadow wouldn't like explaining this.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Shadow just grunted and looked away, a hateful scowl on his face.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
It was silent for a few moments.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Well…” I began. “What of my mother?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Otaku glanced at Shadow. “We never found out what happened to her.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Oh,” I said quietly, mostly to myself. I averted my gaze and looked up towards the sky. I sighed. “I hope you guys can forgive me for this.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Patrick gathered me into his arms. I rested my head against his shoulder. “Aay, we don't need to forgive you, because nothing is your fault.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Body Text 2" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I smiled and a tear fell out of my eye. “Thank you.”
