The news wasn't what Brie considered good and she felt betrayed by it. Why Thyme thought it would be a good idea to hold this secret for so long from her was beyond her. She was trying to control the emotions warring inside her for dominance, but the only thing they managed to do was make her eyes well up.<br/><br/>"Ghost has a tattoo that says PM2. We got them when I became our leader and we realized we needed a way to keep Kai from becoming one of us. I've been leading PM for years, but Ghost is more intimidating than I am and I wanted to keep you safe, so he's been the figurehead in order for me to only leave HQ when absolutely necessary..." Thyme was staring at her now as if waiting for something, but he began to speak once more, "...I know how you feel about PM. I've talked with your brother...and I can leave, Brie. But if I do, Ghost can't. Not for a long time."<br/><br/>"Why would you do that?" she asked softly, her eyes dropping to stare at the floor, "Why would you keep that from me for so long...?" By now the tears that had built up began to fall. She felt humiliated and betrayed. She had thought she could trust Thyme...and her brother. Now she wasn't so sure. She wasn't really sure of anything, really.<br/><br/>"I..." she started then paused to take a breath, "I need space...Please go to another room tonight. Maybe for longer...I don't know. I just...god Thyme, why couldn't you just be up front? Why did you have to put me in this position? Our whole relationship you lied to me. How am I supposed to trust you?" With every word, Brie was becoming more and more upset. She loved Thyme---more than she had ever loved anyone else in her life. She was always honest and open with him, and she had thought he was the same towards her.
