Chapter 15 ☾ Regret

Keifer POV I throw my suitcase back onto my bed, the thing is still heavy with my things from Spearhead. I haven't unpacked anything yet, so I start to rip clothes out of the case, ready to pack them up all over again in a small backpack. I need to pack light, and I need to hurry. I want to be gone as soon as possible. Going around my old room, I hardly look at the childhood bedroom I used to call home. It's filled to the brim with old memories that haunt me with their reminder of a better time. So many memories, both fond and depressing. I grab only the essentials, a few changes of clothes and some toiletries. By the time I'm done I'm seething. All I can think of is Opal, and the guilt I feel over not going out to find her sooner. And then there's the guilt I feel over Rain, and how I can't be here for her. My little sister is about to shift, and I'm leaving. It should a hard choice to make, but it's not at the same time
