I walked farther into the wooded area and sat down on a stump. I looked around my eyes blurring with tears again. "I thought they said that he liked me." I sobbed silently.

Ayako had woken up to the sound of the door closing and saw Aki's fleeting figure through the window. "What the?" Ayako questioned getting up and carefully walking out the door. She followed the other girl watching her hang up and drop her phone on the ground before walking deeper. Ayako picked up Aki's phone and shoved it in her pocket and walked closer to the girl desperate to figure out what was wrong. Ayako saw Aki sot down and start sobbing. "I thought they said he still liked me." She sobbed putting her head on her knees and continuing to cry. "Are you alright Aki?" Ayako finally piped up coming closer. "I-I'm fine Ayako." She choked out. "Aki I want to help you so please just let me." Ayako said coming closer and sitting next to Aki. "Well the thing is Noll and I are supposed to be together because of his parents we were childhood friends and well I started to really fall for him. Lin and the others convinced me that he really did like me back but when I woke up earlier Mai was curled up next to him." Aki said starting to cry again and Ayako pulled her into a hug. "Come on Aki that isn't a reason to give up on him." Ayako cooed patting Aki's back in comfort. "That's not really my name..." Aki said quietly it almost being inaudible. "What do you mean?" Ayako questioned. "My name it isn't Aki Tsukino its actually Taliana Jones I'm actually from england." She confessed to the older woman. "So you are the famous researcher Taliana Jones?" Ayako questioned. The younger girl only nodded in reply. "Yeah..I didn't want to tell you guys till I was ready and that's actually how I got this mission was through my famouse name." Aki said keeping her head down. "Wow that's wonderful so that's how you took down those spirits by yourself and even that demon." Ayako said a bright smile gracing her features. Aki nodded again and turned her head watching the sun slowly start to rise over the horizon. "Maybe we should get back and have you cleaned up before the others wake up alright?" Ayako said to Aki and she gave a nod them both walking closer to the school and out of the woods.
~Aki's Pov~
I had just walked out of the girls locker room where the showers were and I brushed out my hair staring at myself in the mirror. "Layla does he really care about me?" I questioned turning to my sister who didn't realize I saw her. "Yeah he does a lot actually Tala so just try your best you could even wear that one dress." Layla said winking at me and I grabbed the dress she pointed at and looked it over the back was lacy and it was a knee length light blue dress. The sleeves hung down my shoulders and the ends had small glove like pieces. I gave Layla a small twirl and she smiled at me. "It looks perfect Tala." She complimented and I nodded pulling my hair into a pony tail and letting it curl slightly. I walked past Layla and out into the hall. I looked around before walking towards the science lab and looking over the camera. When I walked back into the base with that nights tape and looked around the room. Nobody else was there yet so I put in the tape and started watching it. My eyes widened as I watched myself get taken and my own crimson blood being used to wrote words on the wall. I continued to watch and saw the look of worry on Noll's face while he looked at the wall. I turned my head to the sound of my phone and picked it up. "Hello?" I questioned the person on the other line. "Tala something happened at the mansion." I heard Lucy say her voice full of panic. "What happened Lucy?" I questioned standing up and started to pace back and forth. "Well a fire started in your parent's old room and well everything in the room was burnt to a crisp." She said fear also evident in her voice. "Was anyone hurt?" I asked her as I leaned on the wall massaging my temples with the hand not occupied by the phone. "No Miss it didn't leave their room but well the things you kept in their from them all of it was burnt." She answered. "Its fine I will just take care of it later keep all of the staff out of the room until I get there." I sighed and I heard her sigh along with me. "Of course Miss I will do that." She said before hanging up. My head hung a bit until I heard the door over by me open. "Morning." Lin said to me offering a smile. I returned it with a fake one my thoughts full of worry. "What's wrong?" Lin questioned walking closer to me. "Its no big deal Lin I just might have to go to the mansion soon something happened." I said choosing my words carefully. Noll then walked in and rubbed his eyes lightly. "Morning." He said with a small smile. "Morning." I replied trying to think if I left the box of the last things they gave me, Layla, and Shade in that room.
