When You're Gone
Chapter 12: Dangerous to Know
When morning came, I looked in my mirror to brush my hair. I look and was startled by my reflection. I looked like Shelke.
I had that lifeless, alive-but-dead look in my eyes. But I looked tired. Exhausted. Different.
I didn't want to be like Shelke. I pushed some hair away from my face and smiled. It was obviously fake.
As I walked down, I noticed how I didn't happily run down like I used to. Stupid. I'm not the person I used to be.
"Yuffie," Shelke said.
"What?" I asked so happily. So fake!
"Reeve's here."
^^ Reeve isn't a real problem. Not usually.
I bounced down and wondered if they'd see how fake I was being. ^^
"Hey Reeve!" I fake smiled.
"Hello, Yuffie," Reeve said. "I have some news. We spied Nero last night."
Reeve went into a boring explanation about exactly how they found him. I listen, but my mind wouldn't focus. I felt like I was missing something.
"Yuffie," Shelke asked, "isn't that where you were last night? Did you notice anything?"
"Uhm..." Should I tell them?
"No," I lied. WHY DID I DO THAT?!?
Shelke glanced at me. I almost saw something flash across her face: knowing.
"Ok," Reeve said, "Be careful and keep a look out, all of you. Oh, and Yuffie? Warn your boyfriend about Nero."
While Reeve had been talking, I'd been thinking. I could have easily told them about Nero, and Nero would have lost. He had put me in complete power, and for some reason, he'd known that I wouldn't rat him out. And I didn't.
Suddenly it clicked.
Boyfriend=Nero.
Crap.
Sorry a million times for the late update!
