The rest of the day went slow. Zen stayed around to help. I never wanted them to worry, I didn't want them to know. If they find out the truth, they will hate me for sure. If they see the monster I am, they will turn the back to me. My father always told me, that we are wolves in sheepskin. That we may act and pretend we are the same, but we are not. Maybe he was right.
"Teagan!" I heard Zen call.
I walked out to see Zen and Jaehee with Seven. Seven, I wonder if he knows?
"Yoosung and Jumin are running a little late." Jaehee told me.
"Right, we better get things set up then." I said.
I don't know why we are doing this here. Out of all places. I sighed as I went to the back.
"I'll help!" I heard Zen shout.
I stop and looked back as Zen walked over.
"Ah sure, I guess." I said, then walked into the kitchen.
It was all clean. I started getting the salads and other cold food out.
"How… how's you arm?" I heard Zen asked.
"It's fine." I replied.
I looked at him and Zen smiled.
"Right, making sure" Zen said and I sighed.
"Forget it happened, okay. I don't need you to worry about it. It's nothing." I told Zen who looked at me worried. "I have had this since I was 15, I am fine." I explained.
"But still-" Zen started but stop as I put my hand up.
"No Zen. That is enough." I told him.
Zen sighed.
"My arm is fine and I don't like it when people think I can't do things when I can. I'm not weak." I explained.
Zen sighed.
"Now, get these out before Jumin and Yoosung get here." I told him.
"R-right." Zen said, grabbing the chips and dips, then walked off.
I sighed, thinking about that letter. It has been bothering me all day. Why now? Why did he write now? Everything is perfect. I sighed. I felt a hand on my shoulder so I looked back to see Jaehee.
"Jaehee, sorry, did I zone out again?" I asked smiling.
Jaehee sighed. My smile disappeared fast.
"Jaehee." I whispered worried.
"You might hate me, but…" Jaehee started, then pulls out the letter from my brother.
I grabbed it and sighed. I thought I hid this.
"I know I may be prying, but it is from your bother, isn't it?" Jaehee asked.
"Yes." I replied softly.
"It says you father was attacked." Jaehee said.
I closed my eyes.
"He'll be fine." I told her.
"How do you know?" I heard Jaehee asked.
I opened my eyes.
"It's my father, I just know and I can't go back." I told her. "I don't want to and… I just want to drop this all together, please." I pleaded.
Tears starting up, damnit! I grabbed my bag and walked out. I saw Zen and Seven with Jumin and Yoosung. They looked at me worried.
"Whoa, what's going on?" Zen asked.
"I have to go, sorry. Enjoy the food." I replied, then walked out and head off.
I could hear them call my name, but I kept going. I turn around the corner to see my brother, leaning against a black car in his uniform. My brother has shot black hair, almost the same length as Jumin, and green eyes. He is wearing a navy blue drench coat going to his ankle, a white dress shirt, navy blue pants and black army boots and white gloves. The dress code. At the back, attacked to the back of the coat, is a hidden knife.
"Hey sis." he greeted.
I sighed walking up to him. I had that letter in my hand still. I place my hand on his chest.
"No." I told him.
Seok sighed.
"We had a deal sis. You come back willing or, I will force you to come back." Seok told him.
I looked at him shock.
"Go to hell." I told him.
Seok sighed.
"You haven't changed at all sis." Seok said, putting a navy blue cap on.
He then opened the car door and gets in.
"I'll see you soon sis." Seok said, then closed the door.
The car drove off. I sighed. I was in trouble now. What do I do?
"Teagan!" I heard Zen call out.
I looked over to see him with the others. I walked off. I have to be careful now. I am in huge trouble. I stopped when someone grabbed my shoulder. I looked back to see Zen. The others ran over.
"You can't just walk off like that." Yoosung told me.
"He is right, what did a member of the Private Military want?" Jumin asked.
"Private Military, what the hell is that?" Zen asked.
"You haven't heard of them?" Seven asked.
Zen looked at me. I sighed.
"They are a large group of mercenary. Known to end the civil war not that long ago. Heard there was a truths, thanks the Private Military, though all they care about is getting paid." Seven explained.
"Loyalty means nothing to them." Jumin added.
"I'm going home." I told them as I tried to walk off but Zen grabbed my hand.
I sighed. No way I can walk away from this one. I looked at the others.
"Teagan." Zen said worried.
"Are you in trouble?" Yoosung asked and I looked at him.
"What… oh no, no. I'm not." I told them.
"The letter." Jaehee whispered.
I sighed. I can't run. Why can't my past just die? Why? Why?
"Just stay away." I told them.
Everyone looked at me shock. I broke free from Zen's grip and walked back.
"Teagan, please talk to us." Jaehee pleaded. I looked down.
"I can't." I whispered.
"Why?" I heard Seven asked.
"Because… because once you know, you will… hate me." I replied, walking back.
"Teagan, we can never hate you." I heard Jaehee said.
I clenched my fists. No, they will hate me. I'm a monster. I looked at them, then shook my head.
"I have to go, I'll see you tomorrow Jaehee." I said, then ran off.
I ran down an alley and stop to see a woman in the Private Military uniform. She has long dark red hair and green eyes.
"Athena, are you here to kill me?" I asked.
"No ma'am, I'm here to bring you home." Athena replied.
I drop my bag, what is the point in running.
"Just do it." I told her.
Athena walked up to my, pulling out a needle. She jabs me in the neck and I moan in pain as I collapsed into her arms.
"Teagan!" I heard Zen shout.
"Don't hurt them." I whispered.
"I'll do my best major." I heard Athena reply.
I smiled as everything went black.
