Il Passato Ritorna Sempre

- Let's see ... Where did I stop?

"Ariella filled her lungs with all the air she could fill, pulled more air through her mouth, filling her cheeks, the shadow horn had been raised and the thin point pressed against her lips that were now dyed in the purest darkness, her golden eyes were wild and hateful, they were injected with blood for the loss of their friends.

Ariella looked at the army knowing that this could be her end, but she didn't care, everything that had happened, all the struggles that she had fought, were of no use if not to prepare her for the end ...

Ariella blew "

- WAIT WHAT ?!

Hyun had appeared out of nowhere in the room making Helena jump in fright, had read the final part of the book aloud to try to have a new idea.

- What was Hyun?

- Wait, wait, wait ... Did you kill everyone ?!

- It is necessary for the development of Ariella .-- she tried to argue while the eldest walked to and fro. - But anyway you would be one of the first to read, why bother having a small spoiler?

- Why do I like this fucking saga! - Hyun soon fell silent, having the younger woman's scolding look at her, she didn't like bad words even though she said one or the other now and then.

- Anyway I advise you to get used to it, when I have new ideas I usually look for someone to talk about them, when I say it out loud they make more sense.

-- So I'm going to end up knowing the history of the books long before everyone else? -- She asked excitedly.

-- Yes!

Helena only smiled while watching the oldest celebrate, forgot to say that usually she did not tell the whole story aloud so as not to take the fun out of the book so the older one would have to read the books anyway.

- I'm going to order pizza, do you want? - Asked Helena to Hyun who soon stopped dancing and sat next to her, putting his arm casually over her shoulders.

-- Yes! I love pizza!

Maria had known Helena for a long time, when she was almost finishing elementary school that girl with a strange accent and a very relaxed way of behaving.

Maria at that time was trying to find and fit into something, that's when she passed in front of a karate dojo and saw Helena doing what they called Kata. The blonde cannot help but be charmed and impressed by the softness, dexterity, brutality and strength.

The other day while people teased the girl for curling up in Italian and still spoke Brazilian Portuguese, even though no one understood Maria, she thought she was probably cursing everyone in the foreign language.

Maria wanted to get closer, but she was ashamed to strike up a conversation with the girl with piercing blue eyes, she was also afraid of being beaten by her and ending up very hurt.

It was on a summer afternoon when everyone was leaving school and out of nowhere a circle of students formed, Maria ran to see what it was since her curiosity always spoke louder, when she arrived and looked through the younger students she saw something that made her apprehensive, one of the boys on the basketball team had provoked Helena again, but this time the girl lost her patience and threw a well-punched punch at the boy, Pietro, another player on the team was right behind Helena with blood dripping from the nose, Maria would only discover later that the girl was also protecting the other player's cousin.

Helena finished beating the boy and took Pietro to the infirmary, the other day a man, with hair as black as Helena's and eyes as blue as the rough sea, showed up at the school to talk to the principal.

Maria remembers the first time they talked, the first party they went to, the first exchange trip to Canada, the first LGBT stop after the brunette explained that she is a Pansexual person, remembers the second exchange to Seoul when they went to college and they met the Secrets boys, and the trip back to Italy for the reunion of the elementary school staff where everyone was perplexed that Helena had more money than everyone in that room and didn't want to talk about why she was so successful.

She also remembers the day of the other party, the party where Helena became pregnant with Asriel and only found out when she returned to Seoul and decided to settle in Seoul to raise her daughter.

When ten months later Maria received the call from Hyun, the brunette despaired, worried about her friend, cursed the oldest of all she could, and wondered how her friend would handle everything from then on.

Maria stopped dancing when she heard the bell at her home ring until her makeshift studio that stood in the closet of the second master bedroom closet. Whenever she danced, the girl forgot time and remembered some remarkable things.

Maria took a towel, wiping her sweat and wrapping it around her neck, went down the stairs and opened the door without checking the door peephole.

It could be anyone, it could be Helen with Asriel, it could be Vitor borrowing his toolbox again, it could even be his brother giving him a surprise, or maybe the press asking about Helena, or again that friend from such Hyun giving you another bad line. It could be literally anyone, except that prick who didn't know how to take responsibility for his actions.

-- Ciao Maria ... io ... volevo parlare con Helena ... di Asriel.((Hi Maria ... I ... I wanted to talk to Helena ... About Asriel.)) - The brown-eyed blond looked at Maria expectantly hoping she would tell him everything about Helena and Asriel.
