As I huddled miserably in the tree I heard Sheanne then Jinx haul themselves towards me. Sheanne looked only confused but I saw Jinx look at my eyes then quickly down at Damien. She inhaled sharply,<br/><br/>"They were brothers, brothers..." A low moan of pain squeezed out of my mouth<br/><br/>"I know, I know... I know. Oh ???, ?????? ?? ?? (Oh God, why not me?) I don't have a family." I knew that this wasn't expressly true, I had my circus family but Gabriel and Damien had shared a bond I could only ponder. I dreaded  telling him, not for the fact he might harm me, but for his pain. I could see now the way his face would turn grey and his eyes would become dead and hollow. Akello would be horrified. But how could she not have already noticed the similarities? I knew that sitting up here wouldn't fix anything but a whimper slipped between my teeth when I decided to leave my tree. I decided that being up here a while longer wouldn't be to bad but I looked at Jinx and Sheanne "Why do I have to hurt everyone?"
