Chapter 10: Betrayal A:
The next morning, Makoto had woken up and went to make some breakfast. She looked over at Haruka and Michiru who were still asleep. Then her eyes noticed a spot empty. Makoto walked out of the bedroom and noticed Usagi sitting at the table, she walked up to her and knew that something was wrong.
"Usagi? Are you okay?" She asked, worriedly.
She looked up to see her friend. Usagi didn't know what to hell her she wanted to tell her the truth; but she didn't know which was the truth and which one was the lie.
"Um . . ." She began, "I really don't know."
"Nightmare?" Makoto asked, already knowing the answer.
"Yes." Answered Usagi softly.
"What was it about?" Paused Makoto, sitting down next to her with a hand on Usagi's shoulder, "You don't have to tell me if you don't want. But, remember you can always talk to us if you have a problem or if you just want to talk, Usagi. We are here for you, no matter what."
Usagi didn't answer her back at first. Those words were exactly what Makoto said before; in a previous timeline. Her lips began to shake a little, her limbs trembling, she was trying hard not to start sobbing. She was afraid of failing again.
"I rather not talk about this nightmare." Paused Usagi, acting strong, "I'm glad I have friends that I can rely on."
"We say the same about you." Makoto smiled before she stood back up, "I should start some breakfast. You can come along if you want."
"I'm probably gonna take a small shower." Replied Usagi.
"Alright, I'll see you soon then." Makoto said as she went to the kitchen to begin on making breakfast.
Usagi made her way to the Japanese sakura blossom wallpapered bathroom. She chose one of the farthest stalls to take her shower; hoping that the steam could help her troubled mind. She let her hair fall down from her buns, she looked down at her hands as the water droplets fell on them.
"Why am I thinking about this?" She asked, "Maybe I should talk to them and see if they can help me and we'll get out this time . . . but they might call me crazy if I told them that this wasn't the first time and that we have been here several times."
She lets out a soft, meaningless sigh.
"No, that will just be stupid!" She hissed, "I can do it this time! I can handle this alone and make sure they get out instead of me! I won't fail this time!"
She talked herself into doing it alone and certain that she wasn't going to fail herself and her friends. They were gonna get out this time.
