No, I don't...

~Moon

“I’ve done some horrible things. To you and to countless other half breeds,” Rika said, I nodding to myself.

This time, it did seem like she was telling the truth. I didn't see any lie in her at the moment... Probably because of the way she was acting. If she literally was lying, I probably could have smelled it in her blood, and just by her talking or her actions. Probably because I've seen her lie before, and this time, it was different. I could see the truth in her eyes.

“Moon, I have to know... Do you... Hate me now?” Now this question stunned me. It paused me for a little bit, I watching the slow sunrise.

I didn't hate her, feeling wise... I just hated her actions, and what she did in the past. I took a deep breath as Rika looked at the sunrise.

"No, I don't. I just... think you could have chosen a different path then what you did...." I left off, not looking her in the eyes, but I could tell she was surprised. She probably expected me to hate her, but it more of her actions that I hated then her in particular.

"You could stay here, you know. With the... group... that is if you want, Rika. I want you to stay," I blurted out, then blushing furiously. Sometimes, I need to really watch what I say...

"I don't think the group would mind if you tell them what you just told me... Though they might not trust you at first... So I'll just tell them I'll keep an eye on you. And trust me, I will, okay?" I told her softly as I stood up, wincing a little and then holding out my hand for her to take.

Part of me felt like I shouldn't be doing this, and part of me said for me to go ahead and do this. Part of me said don't trust her, and the other part said go ahead. I decided to trust my other side of feelings.

"Come on. Let's go see what the group says."
