The End (part 4)

The End (part 4)

I walked into the boys section of the dorms. I went to check up on Iggy. I got to their room and knocked on the door. Iggy opened it and welcomed me with an emotionless face. His arm was in a sling and the other was wrapped up. The hand with the open wound was bandaged and he had a limp. His black eye made him seem depressed and uninviting. I started to hug him and a tear fell down my cheek.

"How are you feeling?" I asked him with concern in my voice. He smiled to comfort me and hugged me back.

"Better," he told me. He showed me into his room and closed the door. I notice Gyo wasn't there. We sat down on Iggy's bed and everything was silent for a few moments.

"Do you want to talk about anything?" I asked him. He looked at me and his smiled faded away and his eyes were grim.

"I killed two people yesterday," he stated. I put my arm around his shoulder to comfort him.

"You did it to protect us," I told him. He looked away for a moment.

"I killed someone," he stated again.

"It's okay, sometimes you have to do something drastic, it wasn't your fault," I reassured him. I sat there and thought about the situation for the moment. Last night I put all the blame on myself for not telling Iggy or Soara about my conversation with Armadais, and during it all I blamed Armadais but I finally realize it was no ones fault parse. "Its nobody's fault," I told him. He smiled and a tear went down his face. He started to hug me again.

"Thank you," he mumbled and pulled himself away. "…can I tell you something else?" he asked meekly. I nodded. He breathed in for a moment making it seem very important and secretive. "I…"

"No dad! I am not going! You can't make me!" Soara's booming voice yelled interrupting what Iggy was about to say. We looked at each other confused than popped our heads out the door. All the way across the hall I saw Soara with watery eyes and a man who looked like an older version of Armadais.

"This school isn't safe you are coming back home this instant!" the man's voice commanded. Soara shook her head and turned her back on him. "Listen to me Soara! I have heard stories; your new friends have put you through too much danger. Kari and Armadais have told me what that Wing-Fang boy has put you through. This is for your safety and if you don't come with us than I guess I'll strip you of your name!" the man yelled at Soara turned to him with a smug smile on her face.

"Fine than, I don't mind just being called Soara," she said to him. He grabbed her wrist and dragged her into my room. Iggy and I followed them. When we entered the room we saw the man and what looked to be a servant packing Soara's things as she sat on her bed fuming. "Dad I don't want to leave. I have friends here, true friend, friends that care about me," she said trying to reason with him. Her father saw us as we looked at them confused. He pointed to us.

"You mean these two are your good friends? Don't' you have better friends at home? These two look all roughed up and poor," Her dad stated.

"Hey I'll have you know we've just been through hell and I am not poor! I am a Wing-Fang, and she is the daughter of general Dao," Iggy retorted. Soara shook her head and told him to stop and I pulled him away from the man.

"Oh so you're the one who murdered our good friends Zeon and Kreton? Well I have a surprise for you, not only are you banished from the house of Areon but you are also banished from our house," the man told Iggy.

"But dad…" Soara started to retort but was interrupted by the servant.

"She's already to go," the servant said. The man nodded and pulled Soara out of the room, out into the court yard and near the entrance of the academy where we met Gyo and Ali. Soara's things were tossed into a carriage just outside the gate. She pulled her hand free from her fathers grip.

"Can I at least say good bye?" she asked. Her father nodded. The first person she hugged was me. "Good bye Kara…you were like a sister to me…I will never forget you," she said. She started to stutter as tears ran down her eyes. I started to cry too. I didn't want this to be the end of our adventures. She hugged Ali next. "I know we didn't always get along but you were a great friend to me…thank you," she told Ali. Ali squeezed her tightly and didn't want to let go but after a while she slipped away. She started to hug Gyo. "I'll see you in the summer," she told him than let go. Finally she started to hug Iggy. He held her so tightly and compassionately I didn't think they would ever let go. "Good bye Sparky, you will always be my best friend. We've taught each other so much and we seemed inseparable but now I have to go…but…"

"I have to tell you something," they said at the same time. Their faces became red and they became nervous. "I want you to have Mankey," Iggy told Soara and handed her the lemur. He crawled onto Soara's shoulder and started to cuddle her.

"Thanks Sparky, I…" she started to speak but than her father grabbed her hand and was pulling her away. She had enough time to do one last thing. She kissed Iggy on the cheek and than walked away crying. The gate closed once she was through. Iggy ran up to the gate and watched helplessly as Soara left in the carriage.

"I love you," I heard Iggy mumble.
