Aaralyn
Shino turned and reached his hand out to me. "So....do you want to come with us?" Our eyes locked, and I didn't move for a moment.
Was this the wisest decision that I could make? We didn't have anywhere to go, and it would be better to live somewhere where we knew people, and Shino, Kaoru, and Tatsuya seemed like great guys, people I could trust to be around Kai. When I really thought about it, there were no down sides.
I took Shino's hand in mine, nodding. "Yes, I do want to come." I reached my hand out to Kai, and he held my hand in his.
Anora
I came downstairs to grab the phone, but Arashi had beaten me to it. I couldn't really hear what was being said, but I could tell he was uncomfortable and upset with whomever it was that he was talking to.
I decided to just go in and see what was going on. “What’s wrong?” I asked, coming up behind Arashi.
After a short pause, Arashi answered the person on the phone, “…..y-yes.” He seemed nervous. He was silent for a moment before he handed the phone to me, regret written all over his face. “Here…God wants to talk to you,” he said softly.
My heart stopped. God? No. We had a whole year away from him. What did he want? Surely he wasn't just calling to check up on me, to see how I was coping away from him.
"What do you want?" I asked into the phone after a moment's hesitation.
His tone was angry and upset. "You do not talk to me in that tone. You should be grateful to me."
I turned my back to Arashi. I didn't want him to see how emotional this was for me. "I'm sorry. I just figured their was a reason for this call."
His voice changed to an amused tone. "Why yes. There is a reason. I want you to come back to the main house for the meeting being held." My heart dropped. "You won't be alone. All of the members of the zodiac will be there, so make sure to bring the little tiger with you when you come."
I nodded. I couldn't go against his wishes, but it helped knowing that everyone else would be there. The abuse and torture was never as bad with the others around. "Yes, sir."
"Good. It shall be so good to see you, Anora," God told me before hanging up the phone.
I held the phone in my hand for a moment before Arashi placed a hand on my shoulder. When I jumped at the touch, he dropped his hand. "I'm sorry Anora," he whispered. He must have noticed the tears that were falling down my cheeks because he pulled me into a hug.
I didn't even resist. I just cried into his shoulder. "I'm sorry," I cried into his shoulder. "I just thought we'd be free for a year. I was stupid to think that."
He tightened his hold on me. "You weren't stupid to think that. It's what we all thought."
