Chapter: 15
When the escape pod finally hit dry land, all of them were released. The cage doors swung open on their own, allowing the Grubbs to get out. They were all fatally injured, but they were still able to walk.
Stranger was free as well, but he was hurt inside and out.
To their surprise, they were all at the Grubb city. Not only that, a few unexpected people were waiting for them. It was Mysti's older siblings, Kitsune and Oni-Yuri. Stranger noticed that Oni-Yuri was holding a book.
"I'm sorry for what happened." Kitsune said, bowing to them.
"Why? What did you do?" Stranger asked, curiously.
"I knew about my sister's plan."
"What! Why didn't you warn me or something!" He yelled at Kitsune.
"I just didn't think it would go this far. At least, you and the Grubbs are all alive."
"……………."
"Where is our little sister anyway?"
"She left us. She said that Mysti wasn't her real name."
"Did she say that all the answers lie in the past?"
"Yeah. She said something about that."
"Well, she told us the same thing, too. And we've found the answers."
"Really? How?"
Oni-Yuri answered him and opened the book she was holding. "This is Mysti's diary." She said.
"What about it?" Stranger asked.
"Her entries date back all the way to twenty years from now. And it's true what she said about her name. Mysti isn't her real name."
"What is her real name?"
"According to her diary, her real name is Ima, Ima Goodladie."
"That sounds pretty ironic."
"I know, but it also explains her plan. It turns out that she wanted revenge. She wanted to avenge the death of her husband and son."
"She had a family?"
"I guess so. It also says here that she wanted avenge her grandfather's death."
"Who is trying to kill?"
"Sekto."
"Sekto!" Stranger asked, shocked.
"Yup, it says here that in order for her to get to Sekto, she had to earn his trust. And in order to do that, she had to get pass you."
"So she had to betray me to get to Sekto."
"It would seem that way." Oni-Yuri said, closing the diary. "Stranger, now that you know the truth, what do you think of Mysti……er………Ima now?"
He sighed and scratched his head. "I really don't know. I don't know if I still love her or not. She did say that the next we meet, we aren't allies anymore."
"Well, we'll talk about that later. Let's tend to the Grubbs' wounds." Oni-Yuri said, pointing at the wounded Grubbs. Kitsune and Stranger nodded and followed her.
Sorry so short! See you in chapter 16!
