Leaving...(Brendan's Journal thingey)
Well, this has most definitely been an interesting last couple of days, and an interesting turn of events, to say the least...
I woke up a couple of days ago to find a note from Bella, explaining that she was leaving for the mainland, and that she wanted myself and a few others to come with her. Upon getting over my initial surprise, my decision was made relatively quickly.
I swore loyalty to the Brotherhood, yes, but even before that I had given my loyalty first to Sabella. One only has to take a look at the marks on my neck for proof of that.
She was the one who took me in when I had no place to go, and treated me like I wasn't just some punk from the gutter she found wandering the streets. She made me feel useful, like I could actually do something productive with my life...that I could use my abilities to help the cause of misunderstood mutants everywhere.
For that, she will always have my loyalty and friendship, whether my life is at risk or not because of it. It definitely goes far beyond simple life and death.
Also, there was something else that influenced my decision to leave the island and the only real friends I ever had (it's now like I'd like to apologize to Padraig, Raidha, Chrome, and the rest of those I spent my time with on the island...guys, I'm sorry, but this is something I had to do.) Her name is Averillix.
I feel that now I am no longer obligated to follow the rules of the island, I can now freely search out my best friend, and we can possibly continue the relationship that we had started a few years back. I know that there will be many risks involved, so I assume that we will have to keep this a secret...but again, this is something that I am willing to risk my life for. I only hope that she still feels the same way, and hasn't found someone else in the shattered pieces of our breakup about a month back.
Now I find myself sitting in the city of New York, someplace I never thought I would ever be again, save for the occasional day trip. My future here is uncertain, but I do know one thing...my trust is in Bella, and whatever she thinks is best, I will do without question.
So...here's to the start of a very interesting future...
