Ok, she knows
She didn’t realise until Tally come rushing inside, bouncing with excitement. Waking her up.
“Abi’s, she here”. Tally yell out.
With a groan she rubs her eyes looked over at the clock and realised it been a few hours she been asleep for. It was almost four clocks when she looked over. Rubbing her tried eyes she looked at Tally.
“what”. Her voice was laced with tiredness.
Before Tally could say anything, Abigail come in saying, “so this is where you have been all evening”.
Pushing herself to a sitting position, she really needs to pull a seal on that door. She thought feeling her tried body protecting against her from getting up. She watched Tally rocking back and forth on her heals.
“yea, I been here. Where else would I be”.
“maybe training.”
With that she looked at Abigail, “and what was this training about”.
This time Tally spoke, “healing.”
She didn’t even look at Tally when she spoke. “do you think I need more training; the other day you said I was great after healing Khalida.”
With that both of them stayed silent not really knowing what to say to that. She a groan get up pull her boots back on. She couldn’t stop watching Tally bouncing around the room.
“Tally, what with the chirpiness”.
Abigail was the one to answer her, “she used her sight to find you”.
“is that the first time you used it like that?”.
She didn’t say anything juts knobbed very excitedly.
“well, you did a great job”.
She climbs out of her bed and grip her belt that was on top of her locker. She really didn’t want to get up. Once her belt was on, she walked over to her desk and sat down. she was about to get thing ready to write to her father a thought come to her. ‘why where there wanted to find her’.
So, with a sigh she turned to them.
“why are you guys looking for me anyway”.
“Tally has been dying to ask you a question and I am interested to know it as well”.
She looked at both of them, she had a feeling that this may happen especially after Tally ask if Scylla was spree, easier in the day. Since the wedding both have be acting Strange. But mostly Tally.
Raelle finally looked at Tally in the eye, “are you ever going to tell me what on your mind, know.”
Tally froze still. Abigail looked at both of them a bit confused.
“what going on with both of you. Since the wedding both of you have be acting strange. This is just more of it. SO, before I lose my patience on you”.
Raelle looked at her with her brow raised. Waiting.
Tally started pacing around the room. Not really sure how to ask this question.
“it this about Scylla”.
That stopped her dead in her tracks.
“Whatever you did, just tell me. Get it over with. If it was an order, then tell me what you can.”
With a deep frown Abigail stand up from her bed she was sitting. “what does that mean.”
“it means, what it sounds like Abigail”.
Abigail was about to get into a full blown rant when Tally place her hand on Abigail shoulder. There exchanged a look. Making her stumble back. Raelle had seen that look before; she hated that look.
“Quartermain order me not to say, anything. More importantly not to say anything to you.”
“it something to do with Scylla doesn’t it.”
Tally just nodded sadly.
“sit Tally, tell us.” She looked over to Abigail, “seal the door”.
With that Tally moved to Raelle bed and Abigail understand this was going to be big. Followed thought sealing the door. If you asked her four months ago if she would follow order, what an outcross had given her she would have laughed in her face. Wow improvement.
But know everything has changed. Once that was done moved to her bed. Raelle stayed put. After what felt like hours, which in turn was only a few second. Tally finally spoke.
“Scylla is spree”.
Instead of her getting anger that Abigail and Tally was expecting. Raelle seemed relax. She only exhaled deeply. Her mind raced, she knows this already, but hearing was a little different. She had already gone thought everything about her and Scylla relationship. And concluded that even Scylla didn’t love her really, that didn’t matter, she still loved her and still would save her.
“was Spree. And that wasn’t a question, Tally.”
Abigail jumps up.
“you know she was spree, allow her to come to my cousin wedding, and said nothing”.
“can I tell you want I know or do you what to shout at me more”. Her voiced deadly flat, no emotions. A shiver ran down her spin. After a moment.
“ok, so let me tell you guys what I know.” She waited for them to nod. Which there did.
“I know that Scylla wasn’t spree while we been together. And I also know that she had been given the military. The people that murdered her family before her eyes. Secrets of the spree.”
“how do you know that.”
She looked at Tally, “same way you thought she was spree”.
“I saw her, communicating with the spree. That the evidence I have”.
Raelle leans forward resting on her knees. “if she was said, ‘Spy’. How would you get up to date information”.
“you would have to stay in contact with them”.
“can you saw me”.
Tally looked even more nerves, that was the final piece.
“you told Quartermain, what you saw. One of many people that doesn’t what me and Scylla together. A dogger kid and an outcross. So instead of investigating, she dove in took her.” the last bit was almost silent, only if you had a ear to her mouth would you have known what she said.
She looked at them, “what.”
Both of them had a look about themselves. She understood it very well.
“you might not have said but other have. It also isn’t the first time I have look down a upon. I told you at the wedding. You even hear them. People or should I say high Atlantic think I’m lesser. I’m not a civilian or what some say not a full witch. An outcross. Scylla was the first that didn’t see that, just saw me.”
A tear rolled down her face. She quickly looked away from them back toward her desk. She needed a minute to gather her thoughts.
“guys, I need to write a letter. I will meet you at our next training.”
There didn’t move. With a heavy sigh.
“it a lot guys, I need space. To think, without a watchful eye.” Her voice barely staying even.
Abigail got up stretched a little before saying, “I will go under two things”.
Raelle didn’t like this, but to get to go so she could have some alone, she would do mostly anything.
“what is it”.
With a smile, “Tally shows both of us what she saw”.
On that Raelle turned around to face her eyes was a little glassy from holding in her tear but apart from that there couldn’t tell she was upset.
“why do what to see it.”
“I’m have my reasons, first, spree attack my home. Killed my cousin. And secondly, I would like to know myself what Scylla was doing”.
She didn’t want to prolong this anymore and check her. with ‘it was the camarilla not spree’. But she looked at her questionably, “but still.”
Abigail walked over and place her hand on Raelle shoulder.
“I know I don’t say it that much Shitbird, but I like you. I don’t like seeing you hurt, even if she is dead. I wanted to know her more”.
“that almost sound like you care bellwether”.
She then looked over at Tally, “my sister, know get over here before I order you to Tally.”
With a little bit of hesitation Tally moved from Raelle bed to the floor. Making Raelle and Abigail sigh before moving over to her. Just like the first time sitting around a candle. Telling each other who there have lost. Raelle had only said her mother. Want the others didn’t know she had lost a lot more than that. She pushed that away. Sat with the others.
Tally held out her hand to both Abigail and Raelle. Who closed their eyes once link started.
All three watched as Tally pulled the door closed and listen to Scylla talking. To Raelle, she could tell she was scared. There she watched as Tally opened the door and watched Scylla carrying talking about. Her target, and her plan. Then there watched as Tally checked the mirror after Scylla had let and her rushing off once finding this out to Quartermain. She could see the final piece on her puzzle coming together.
And with pulled her hand away from Tally breaking the link.
Getting up to quickly making her loose her foot lucky she catches the bed frame. Stopping her from falling to the floor. Abigail and Tally break the link seconds later.
Trying to keeping her voice neutral she asked, “what the second thing, Bells”
“we step outside, allowing you to write your letter. Then we stick with you until after dinner. Then after that we leave you alone until morning”.
Without think or even having the energy to talk back, “fine, get out” it was quick and simple.
Tally looked over at Abigail with worry.
“are you ok, Rae”.
Raelle took a deep breath she was really trying to keep herself together, “you what me to answer that or do you what to keep an eye on me.”
“Tally get your stuff, Raelle, we’ll be outside don’t be a shitbird.”
And with that Tally grabbed her boots and jacket and left, unsealing the door as she left. With Abigail right behind her. Once to door clicked shut. Raelle to a long breath. She was a little headed from discontented the link so quickly but apart from that she was ok. A few of her puzzle know complete.
She smiled to herself as she began to write her letter finally. She was going to speak with Quinn again but quickly realised it was too risky to do so. So, a letter with her family seal, was the best bet.
It didn’t take long for her to write everything she know about Scylla. That she is spree, have killed at least four people to her research and that she was part of the mall attack. She also wrote what her ability are. And how good she is with her working. She wrote down what her next step she going to take and when she was planning on action. ‘you were right Quinn, there did look down at me for be a “outcross”. Even my team leader looks down at me but is less know. I should have become a Dodger, like you said, but then I think. I wouldn’t have meant, her’.
She carries on writing for a little bit. While outside she could hear the muffled talking of Tally and Abigail.
****
“I’m worried, what if she acts out again, like before”. Tally say while putting her boot on.
“that why we stay with her thought the day, that should buffer her a little. Plus, once she finally processed it all. She will go back to her old self”.
“are you sure”.
“I’m not really sure of anything anymore. Before all this, before joining. I thought a lot different I do know. That that all because of her”. Pointing toward their shared room door. “that I have changed, I just wished she could see that and talk to us”.
After fixing her boots Tally jumped and pulling Abigail into a hug.
“I know you have changed I have seen it, I’m sorry hind the information from both of you. But I was order not to.” With a heavy sigh, “I really hate secrets”.
Pullin out of their hug, “I know what you mean”.
Before Abigail could ask Tally, about what she had seen. Their bedroom door suddenly opened revealing Raelle in her full gear. With her letter, stopping her from asking anything. Later she thought.
“let’s go, I need to send this off first, then lesson”. She said waving her letter around for them both to see.
The next five hours was normal as ever. After giving her letting in. all three of them heading of training.
