I just walked from wherever I was wearing the new dress Cinder had paid for as I walk back to my house,
It feels wrong to be let off the hook like this when I deserve to be punsihed for everything.
I'm just glad that Fro didn't come out...
"Y-yes I'll come quickly-" I stop as Miss Peach ran out the door and stop seeing me dropping her scroll
She quickly have me to her arms.
I'm too exhausted to react.
Why do I keep telling myself that I deserve good things...
I should just turn myself in before everything gets too bad.
"WHERE WERE YOU!? YOU DIDN'T RESPOND TO YOUR SCROLL!? YOU DIDN'T COME HOME LAST NIGHT?! w-what happened to your clothes- why are you barefoot? Mattie Dear....who did this to you?!" Miss Peach cups my face but I just reach to her hands and drop them
"...Im fine..." I mutter but I doubt my expression was helping
"Honey, you look empty, whatever happened to you I'll understand just tell me-"
"YOU'RE NOT MY MOTHER SO JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" I scream at her and she just looks at me
"...I...I know I'm not...and I also know what your mother did to you-" I slap her hand away
"No! Just dont touch me! Dont do anything good- nice! IM SICK OF IT! JUST- JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" I tell her
I was about to run but then see the General.
"I came as soon as called...Miss Loisel...what is going on here..." He looks down at me and I don't know why
Why do I just want to die but at the same time not infront of him
"Or who knows what they will do once they find out the possibility?"
"Are Ajin's...Not Humans?"
"No ofcourse not."
I'm an idiot...
What good did I ever do to live this freely?
Even though, once I get home I'll be Hunted down...
And here I am killing people...
"...I deserve to be locked up..." I mutter and The General looks at me then I feel Miss Peach tug my arm
"Mattie...I think you just had a rough night...how about you just sleep it off? Better yet take as much time as you need to rest-" I tug me arm back
"I've.killed.people.... You people must be sick to not capture me at all!" I step back to look at the two of them
"Miss Loisel...how about we step inside..." General Ironwood says then looks at me darkly with his empty eyes
"I'll decide for Ozpin whether to have you arrested and punished for your crimes until we can send you home, or give you a new option..." He walks front first and Miss Peach waits for me to go ahead
"You can't decide without Ozpin James..." Miss Peach says holding my arm but I just ignore her and sit down
I just want my struggles to end...
I have nothing to look forward to...
"Now...start from the beginning, what we're the crimes that you have committed once you arrived here Miss Loisel." The General says
"...I've killed, 5 people...some students or medics...and tried to kill Headmaster Ozpin." I just look down feeling nothing
"And Killed hundreds of people because I couldn't control my emotions from Tukson's death" I breathe out
"I have not been punished from any of those lives that I've taken, please...just separate me entirely from everyone General...I'll even offer my body for weapon or human advanced experiments whether unorthodoxed or is, I have...nothing ahead for me to live for..." I say and Miss Peach kneels to my level
"Mattie...you...you don't mean that..." was all she could mutter
"Just give it up..." I sigh and see the hurt in her eyes
"What the hell do you know about me to know what I want..." I ask her then look at the General
"From what I received, you can't manifest your own aura or semblance to this world as it remained unchanged, which was odd since the question is still asked on How did you actually get sent here?" General Ironwood says and I raise a brow
"Sir...what do you mean?" I ask him
"Would anyone could have transported you here? But for what purpose? And what connection do they have with your world?" He asks and I'm more confused
"...Have you asked yourself that question Miss Loisel? It's quite and interesting hole to find answers to..." He says looking at me
"That is the Theory of Connected worlds...a possible travel between worlds that have a Magical connection of sorts...and from what we understand from you, Ajin are not Magical....but Remnant was..." He takes out his scroll and reveal history of semblance
"Someone...brought me here...?" I ask him
"That is the question, but in this world the only ones with the Magical capabilities on that level are two people..." He shows a picture of two people
"Headmaster Ozpin doesn't hasn't done magic on that level that large in ages since his magic was separated to the Maidens...Salem is the only one we haven't had an update on of her abilities...but if you did come from Salem's magic...who else do you think she can get from your world?" He takes off his Scroll and look at me
"Miss Loisel...are you truly willing...to lock yourself away as the World continue to go in ruins...to kindoms under waters...to castles to rubbles...?" He asks me and I look down
"Guilt...is such a powerful negative emotion that will turn into Anger and Isolation...but once you see the possibilities...wont Peace feel like an eternity once all trust are binded together?" I grip my fists hearing him say it
"I...don't want to be helpless...I want to help but I cant! Im scared!" I cry as Miss Peach pats my back
"I can die and come back...but when others do they dont...it's unfair...its wrong and unfair..." I keep sobbing
"I want to fight but when if I do, people will get hurt...because when I die, I hurt their feelings...and I dont want that!" I wipe my tears endlessly falling
"I dont want to hurt those when I die, and I dont want to lose them!" I hug Miss Peach
"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry I screamed at you..." she pats me as I sob
"I know...I knew you were just hurting...That is why I wont let you push me away dear..." Miss Peach whispers to me
"If you're so scared then Fight." The General says as he stands fixing his tie then leave a call card
"This is the Option I provide you Miss Loisel, fight with us...and you will look for the answer of what brought you here." Headmaster Ironwood says

MAKI'S POV
"Sorry Honey...the only thing I have done is get the investigation out from you...it looks like your friend had completely gone off so we cant trace anything unless she comes back." My dad says as I look out the door and finally feel free from the eyes of the police
"But please... stop this wanting a place for Ajins...you don't know what the type they are-"
"ARAKI! WE HAVE A REPORT FOR YOU!" I sigh since he is now busy on finding Kai
He even has my phone on record and from what I could guess, is that if Mattie would call.
"Bye dad, thanks...Are you coming home-" a drop call tone then played at the end making me put my phone down
I keep thinking about it,
I know my search history is being looked through but I just have to know,
What abilities do Ajins really have?
And from most of it.
None of them align from Mattie just disappearing out of nowhere.
It was as if a big light hit us and I was far from her but she was just gone...
Don't worry Mattie...no matter what happens I'll help you through this...
Its the least I could do...
"She's an old lady!" The kids used to laugh at me because I was born completely with bleached hair, it was so white like an old lady but some said it had a faint of yellow on it...
Still I was really insecure of it as a child
"HEY YOU JERKS! KAI USE BITE!" A girl with Black hair points at the kids and a boy same as our age would chase them with a grin
"I swear, they always cause alot of wrong!" The girl with black hair spoke to me but I just tightened the tie on my hood
"...Are you gonna keep pretending to be a donut?" She sits next to me, as another boy caught up planting himself on the ground exhausted and he had nets to catch bugs
"I told you! She's the one that gets made fun off alot!" The kid named Kai pointed at me
It was hilarious, I was scared because of my hair then there this kid with a brighter color than I did
"That's boring..." I then look at the girl opening her snack and place mustard on her hair dying it slightly with yellow
"H-hey! Don't do that!" I held her arms but she stops to look at me
"Whats so silly about it? Kai is cool about his hair why cant you?" She asks me
I used to get jealous of those kids having normal hair,
I always felt that I never belonged at all with the other kids
"Y-your hair is so pretty so you wouldn't understand!" I screamed at her and she raised her brow
"My hair is full of Mustard! I have to go bald now because of you!" She tells me
I smile at the memory when I first met Mattie, Kaito, and Kei...
"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?! WHAT DID I EVER DO?!" I started crying and she stops looking at Kaito
"Your the one that wanted to help her! Dont look at us!" The boy with black hair says
"H-hey...stop crying...you'll get ugly wrinkles..." she said trying to take my arms off my face
"Mattie you made it worse!" Kaito said
I then gasp feeling her take off my hood showing my short hair with bangs
"Woah...They weren't kidding..You're hair does look silly!" She says and I turn away from her
"AND PRETTIER THAN MINE! WHAT ARE YOU GETTING SAD ABOUT!?" She screams at me and then the two boys laugh
But not at me
"Mattie now you just have Mustard on your hair!" Kaito says
"Mustard-mattie!" He continued and Mattie pouted then i started chuckling myself
"You what is your name?!" She asks me and I whipe my face
"M-maki...Araki..." I told them and she scratches her head
" a better name too! Its not fair! Mine is just Mathilde Loisel! Its so boring!" She says a laugh
"It does sound boring!" I laugh and she takes out more Mustard
"I will make you Mustard-Maki from now on..." Mattie said
Then I cried until I had the Mustard off my hair that day,
Who knew Mattie was such a bully when we were young and slowly matured as time went on....
Because when we were kids, Kei suddenly cut ties with us but with Mattie...
So the three of us started hanging out without him,
And then suddenly Mattie would disappear for months and be quiet whenever she'd come back.
Kaito said that it kept happening before they met me,
But now we know where she really had gone all those days...
I'm not mad that she hid from me of her being an Ajin...
But how she didn't tell me how her mother had been treating her all...
If I knew what was going on with her before she was publicly an Ajin maybe I could have helped her avoid it.
"Honey, the power went out again." I could hear my mom say downstairs as I sigh and walk my way down the basement
Then I unplugged the Generator that is out of power and placed my hand on it
Generating electricity part of the magic that I've always had as a child
But Mom and Dad told me to keep it a secret and only use it for emergencies.
If only Mattie had told me...
Then we would have ran away together from this life...
