Of Both Worlds: The Last Guardian
Chapter 15- A Secret Revealed
A/N: Thank you Gothic kid 13 for reviewing! I think y'all are really gonna like this chapter!
Nyx woke up groggily, but still haunted by the fierce accusations that had been thrown at her. She strolled into the living room where Starfire attempted to cook breakfast.
"Good morning, would you care to consume some of these pancakes?" she proudly showed a plate of half-cooked pancakes to Nyx, who grimaced.
"Uh, no thanks" she said, turning away. Starfire looked at her concerned.
"Friend, are you okay? You seem to be hiding lately, is there anything I can do?"
"I'm fine" Nyx mumbled trying to make an escape. However, BB came through it and she groaned. Great more people.
"Hey Nyx you finally came out of hiding. What have you been doing in there; making up some evil scheme?" He rolled his eyebrows at her. A sudden irrational fear shot through her. Did they know?
"No! Leave me alone" she said turning towards the door, BB tried to meet her half way. Nyx let a blast of energy form in her hand and threw it at him, knocking him down. She walked out.
"What's with her?" he asked Starfire, she shrugged.
"I do not know" she said sadly. BB looked to Robin, who had just walked into the room.
"Dude, did you see what she did to me! She's lost it!" Robin shrugged.
"She has been a little hostile lately, I'll ask Raven what's going on" he left and walked to the dark room where she stayed. He knocked and Raven answered.
"What?" she asked bluntly.
"It's Nyx; she's been really odd lately. Can you find out what's wrong?" she shrugged.
"Sure" she answered and vanished. She appeared on the roof, where Nyx sat devoid. "Nyx, are you ok? You've been kind of secretive lately"
"Aren't you always secretive? There's nothing wrong with keeping things to yourself" Raven was taken aback by her rude retort. She closed her eyes and silently tried to hack into her mind. Nyx felt the mental presence and her mental paranoia kicked back in. What's wrong? The voice asked; Nyx frowned. Get out of my mind, she hissed and closed the link. Raven snapped back into consciousness but gaped in shock at the girl's hostility. When did she become so cold?
"Nyx…I..." Nyx cut her off.
"No; you don't, leave me alone. You have no idea what I'm going through. Leave me alone."
"Running won't solve anything; neither will keeping it to yourself" Nyx flashed back to her sudden rejection at Dimensions, she wasn't going to be rejected again. The sky turned a dark charcoal and lightning danced across it.
"Leave me alone" Raven walked toward her. A streak struck in front of her forcing her back. She simply stepped over the edge of the building, letting the harsh winds carry her. Lightning struck furiously, hitting everything in sight. Robin joined Raven on the roof.
"What's happened?" he asked not wanting to receive an answer.
"The prophecy has been tampered with, and it's gone horribly wrong"
"What do we do?"
"Wait, and pray she realizes what's happened"
Nyx soared between the lightning strikes, leaving the urban life and returning to the forest she knew so well. She glided through the trees and found the temple. She walked in and fell to her knees in anguish. What have I done? She thought to herself, I've abandoned my friends. She looked to her portrait that stared back. What do I do? She prayed silently.
"You do what you were born to do" a voice said behind her. She jumped to find that it was her, well guardian her. "You know you haven't done anything, so fight it"
"You're right, I didn't do anything. I was never a spy, how my clothes or my scythe…my scythe! Flame never saw my scythe, yet she asked me about it; she was always intent on my powers were doing…the prophecy states a guardian will betray her people, but not necessarily the last one. It was her, she framed me!" Her alter ego grinned.
"I'm glad you figured it out, now you have to make them believe you" she motioned towards the scythe, "it won't be easy"
"You're right" Nyx kneeled and picked up the scythe. It was time to free herself. From Flame.
