Field Trips And Secrets

Chapter 13 (Explations and Secrets)

"Well, Sky, it seams as if it would be your turn now. It's only fair since I just went, and these two have made it clear that they won't tell us the other, as you put it, 'bombshell secret' until you tell yours." Valerie said a smirk played across her face.

"Why must you be so cruel?!" Sky exclaimed dramatically.

"Oh please I know for a fact you have done worse with your mischievous pranks, and the dark side that you've got." Valerie said.

"Hehe...right." Sky said as she  rubbed the back of her neck.

"Yeah. Now, spill." Valerie said.

"Fine fine. Pushy." Sky said as she took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "I'm-" she began but her dear friend Valerie decided that she would: one get her back for the 'pushy' comment, and two keep her from taking forever. So she came up and untied the blue cloth around her neck. Therefore disabling the illusion of her blonde hair and revealing the natural neon green.

"Hey! Give that back!" Sky screeched as she made a desperate grab for the cloth.

"Not until you're done explaining. Otherwise you would take forever." Valerie said holding the ribbon away from her slightly shorted friend.

"Grr. Sometimes I really don't like you...or your hight!" Sky yelled.

"Good to know. Your still not getting this back till you explain."

"Grr." Sky growled.

"Um...excuse me we're still here, and felling very lost right now." Danny said interrupting the two.

"Yeah, explanation please." Phantom said.

Sky sighed and took off her right glove to reveal her tattoo (see picture up top). "As I was going to say before Red stole my illusion projector, I'm a Hybrid. Meaning my mom was human but my dad was an elementist. Although he was only a fire and air elementist, and an elementist would only normally get two elements. I was different, something entirely new. I was the first and last Hybrid. Because soon after I was born a war broke out. The Human-Element War. I was only 4 at the time..."

Flashback

Sky POV

I ran down the burning, broken, and crumbling buildings of my street. The ground was cracked and destroyed. I could hear the sound of guns firing and bombs exploding in the distance.
I kept running towards my house, the only place I could think of to go.

Once I reached it I froze. My house was destroyed, it was in ruins. I felt someone's hands on my shoulders. The hands turned me around and I came face-to-face with my dad.

He looked me dead in the eye and said, "Run. Run as far away from here as you possibly can. Live on, for me and your mother. I love you." He gave me a quick hug and then released.

I wiped tears from my eyes, "I love you too Daddy." And then I ran.

I ran and I ran till the sounds of war were distant sounds. Tears poured from my eyes but I kept running. I had to keep going, I had...to live.

End Flashback

~Back to 3rd person POV~

"...And so after a year of running a came across Amity Park. I had been able to snatch food easy enough. As well as money. Though I'm not proud of it that was what I had to do to live. I was soon adopted by the family I live with now, I was also able to keep training myself in the use of my powers, and somehow my adopted family don't know of my origins. I thought my hair would have given it away originally, since elementists are known to have oddly or vibrantly colored hair." Sky said as she finished her explanation.
