Chapter 10: Betrayal B
Usagi came out of the bathroom area and noticed that her friends were all awake. They were sitting at the table waiting for breakfast to be done. Rei, Minako, and Ami were talking about something that Usagi couldn't pick up, Setsuna and Mamoru were just awkward around each other, they tried to start up a conversation with each other; but it ended up failing, Makoto was still in the kitchen finishing up breakfast, Michiru held onto Haruka who was still a little tired, but was doing alright. Soon, Michiru started talking to Setsuna. Mamoru turned to look at Usagi who had walked out of the bathroom area at that time. He noticed a strange look in her eyes and went to see if she was okay. Usagi bit her lower lip when he approached her.
"It looks like you need to talk to someone." He began, "Everything okay?"
She looked up at him, his dark blue eyes reflected the midnight sky on a dark moonless night. She wanted to tell him the truth, but she kept it deep down inside.
"Just a nightmare I had last night." She replied as Makoto said that breakfast was ready.
Minako and Haruka stood up to help her bring plates and forks over. Michiru, Setsuna, and Ami helped bring over the food. Usagi walked over to the table and sat down, thinking things through. After a little while, they began eating and talking about the game plan for the day. Usagi stayed quiet, just listening to their plan. She was even eating her breakfast slower than usual and no one seemed to notice. Memories flood Usagi's mind; she had watched her friends die, all of that blood, and how many times she has went back in time, trying change everything. It looked like she was about to start crying, but she couldn't. Rei looked over and knew that something was wrong; but, she decided to joke around, hoping to get Usagi to smile.
"What's the matter Usagi?" She asked, "Not hungry?"
All Usagi did was nod. She really didn't have much of an appetite. There really wasn't anything anyone could do to get Usagi to speak. It made all of them worry, all of them were confused on the sudden change of their friend/princess. Mamoru could sense that something was wrong, but he knew that Usagi would tell them when she was ready too; but he was hoping that she wouldn't hold it in for too much longer.
"Guys?" Usagi began, after she swallowed a little bit of the egg in her mouth.
"Yes?" Mamoru asked.
"There's something I want to show you before we go looking for an escape." She said.
"After breakfast, you can show us." Rei said.
Haruka gave a small nod.
"Alright." Usagi said with a small smile.
Everyone went back to eating, talking a little as well.
"Am I really doing the right thing? I'm not making a mistake right?" Usagi began.
