A/N Hello peoples! I know this chapter is majorly late and I apologize. I really don't have an excuse besides that I'm lazy:/ If you reviewed last chapter THANK YOU! and that goes to those who read it as well. Well enough stalling and on with the Chapter!
~Ally's POV~
I met my brother's eyes.
"Explain."
The last word that I honestly wanted to hear. I starred down at the ground in silence. I had thought about telling them what was going on, but I thought that I would get to do it on my own terms. Right now was not the right time. I knew that everyone was watching me, wanting answers. I don't blame them…but everything that had happened, they probably wouldn't understand. I wasn't me anymore; I was two people and could possibly be the biggest threat to their lives.
I stood up and walked over to the window and looked out it.
"No." I whispered. It was barley audible to my own ears, but it managed to carry to the others who were near. I closed my eyes trying to prepare for their reactions. I wasn't afraid of what they'd say, but rather how I would keep a straight face until the end of my act. I'm their biggest threat, and what way could be easier to protect them, than if I make them hate me and make them abandon me?
"What do you mean no?!" I didn't have to turn to recognize the voice of the anger challenged Chazz.
"Exactly what no means, Princeton. What happened to me is none of your concern." I spat with as much venom as I could manage.
"Ally! You need to tell us what happened!" This time I spun around to meet my brother.
"I don't need to tell you anything, I don't need your questioning, and I don't need you!" I expected Jaden to crumble at my spiteful words, but I was met with a very different reaction. Jay tackled me onto the floor and we were rolling around like we use to when we got in little fights when we were little. I could easily beat him, but that would invlove hurting him. while I debated this in my mind, Jay managed to pin me to the ground.
"What's gotten into you!? Why won't you just tell us the what happened Ally?" He yelled at me right before I turned the tables on him, pinning him on the ground.
"Nothing's gotten into me Jaden! I'm different from the Ally you and everyone else use to know. I'm not the same as you and the others! You're all weak and you're letting these pitiful concerns about me interfere with your head. Stop wondering what happened to me and focus on what will happen to you, especially if you don't let go of me!" I shouted as he reversed our positions and pinned me to the ground.
"What are you talking about!? You're my sister, you're their friends, and you love dueling! You're no different, than you were when you got here. What happened to you?!" He yelled as he got closer to my face. His medallion slipped from his shirt and just barely touched my skin. Ami warned me that any contacted with the medallions would cause pain, but I didn't think it would hurt this much. I felt pain rip through my chest and the rest of my body, then noticed the burn mark that was begining to appear on my skin. I wanted it to stop. I unleashed a jolt of shadow magic from my hands which sent Jaden flying across the room, and into the wall. My eyes widened in shock. This is what I was trying to prevent! I hadn't meant to, but if this was on accident what would it be like on purpose? I was a danger to all of them and now that was clear. I thought that I would be able to get them to just stay away from me, and then I could seclude myself from everyone else without hurting anyone. I thought I could control my new powers enough so that I could still remain at Duel Academy, but now I knew that I was wrong. There was only one way for me to protect everyone.
"This is why I'm different. There are things that you couldn't understand even if I explained them." I said as I watched Syrus, Chazz and Alexis run over to my unconscious brother. My eyes met Jesse's.
"I'm not me anymore. I can't put you guys in anymore danger and harm than I've already allowed." I finished.
"Ally, don't do this. We can help you with whatever it is? It doesn't matter-" Jesses started.
"It doesn't matter!? Look at what I just did to my brother Jesse! I could end anyone in a second if I wanted to or not! Just by standing here I'm putting all of you in danger. I'm a risk to everyone and everything that matters to me. I will not be responsible for the destruction of anyone I care about. I have to protect you from Shadow, Kesi, and now more importantly...me ." I turned towards the window and felt the tears start flowing. I put my foot on the ledge and was about to jump out the window when Jesse's hand grasped my wrist.
"Alyssa!" Jesse shouted. I wanted to turn and hug him. I wanted to stay and see if Jaden was okay, but this was about more than what wanted. This was about what they needed, and I was the last thing on that list. I yanked my wrist from his grip and turned out the window.
"I'm sorry." I said as I jumped from the ledge, landing gracefully on the ground a story or two below. Ami appeared next to me.
"We need to get out of here." I told her hastily.
"I understand. Let me take over. I know just where to go." She replied as I let her in control. I materialized by her side and followed her, as we distanced ourselves from duel academy.
