Not Who I Am

Companion piece to "Prison"

He is coming.

Cheiron told us a new student was coming today. I did not know who that student was until I hear Feducious and Cheiron talking.

"Are you sure you are doing? Letting a thief comes to the Academy?" Feducious said.

"Even one that save a life? Do not judge him until you meet him." Cheiron said.

He saves someone then he is not totally lost. The last time I saw him with a group of children talking. I watch him like I did a thousand times before. This time from a distance. I could . . . I could do nothing or say anything without us getting into another fight. That was the last thing I want to do. I just watch him slip into the shadows.

And away me.....

I always had suspicions that your father had something do with you running away. You are afraid but why did come to me and mother? Why? We would have never turned you away! Then again, you were always the most stubborn person I ever meet. You never ask for help. Now that I think about it. I think you were afraid of trusting people.

Now, you are back in my life again.

I bet you never know, that I am afraid! Yes, the all mighty Hercules is afraid! I am afraid of you! You were my best friend! And . . . And..I don't know. A part of me wants to turns to you away. To treat you, the same way you treated me after our fight. But a larger part of me want to run to you and tell you everything.

I see him now as he get out of the cart. For a brief moment, our eyes meet and then you turn away as soon as you saw me.

Iolaus! Don't you dare?! I will not let you run away again! Not now!

Not ever!

You got it . . . because it just not who I am.

The End.
