Secrets

"Thank you," I heard my father say and then the door slammed shut. As I noticed, my mother was sitting in front of my bed and crying.
"Why now?" She sobbed desperately when my father walked into my room again. I hadn't been up long enough to know what the two of them had been discussing or to know what had happened. I just remembered that there was this boy. Sasuke, exactly Sasuke was his name. Even though I had my eyes closed, I saw him again. Involuntarily, in readiness for the pain I had suffered the last time, I winced.
"Runa?" I heard my mother say weakly.
Now there was no point in pretending to be consciously loose. I opened my eyes and looked right at my crying mother. Why was she crying?
"Are you okay? Need anything? Wait, I'll get ..."
"Mom, it's fine, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I don't need anything right now," I interrupted.
Relieved, she looked at me briefly, but then this worry was in her eyes again and she began to sob again.
"Mom what's going on?" I got up from my bed and had a little trouble finding my balance right away. I walked up to her and hugged her, which only made her cry more bitterly.
"Oh ... you know I was ... I was just worried about you," she whispered. I was sure that she felt that I didn't believe her, that there was much more, that her look had told me. I looked at my father, he had the same worry in his eyes as my mother.
"But everything's fine now, isn't it? See, I'm fine," I tried to cheer her up and looked into her blue eyes. I looked over at my father to confirm that I was really fine too. The look in his gray eyes brightened a little, it looked like a glimmer of hope. I just didn't understand what was going on here. I let go of my mother, who had calmed down in the meantime, and went through my room to the window. Something made me just startled and when I let my gaze slide to the mirror, my gaze caught on my eyes. Brown eyes.
"Mom, Dad? Can I go into the forest again?" I asked carefully and turned back to the two of them. The two exchanged worried looks.
"Please," I added.
"Okay, but be back soon. Your mother and I have to go tonight and we want you to be home then," my father finally gave in.
"Thanks!", I fell around the neck and kissed them on the cheek.

I hardly looked for my clearing in the forest. It was a small clearing in the forest inside that I always went to when I had to think. Like today. I lay down on the fallen tree trunk and closed my eyes and listened to the sounds of nature. It calmed me down a lot, just what I needed nowImages from my past came up to me. I was different from her. I didn't look like them, the only thing they had in common was my black hair. They had always been so overprotected, but why? Today as well.
What was my parents hiding from me?
Is that what they were, my parents? This thought alone seemed completely pointless to me, but the more I thought about everything, the more logical it became. The training at home, this overprotection and last but not least the appearance. Everything went together. But was it important that maybe they weren't my real parents?
What if they only protected me from my real parents? And what did you know about my little fit? I just had to talk to them, there was no other way, because speculating about it didn't help me. I just wanted and needed answers.

"Mom? Dad?" I called softly into the apartment. As agreed, I hadn't been away for long, but they were already gone. I went into the kitchen because suddenly I was hungry. I found a note on the table.

Don't wait for us Runa. It could be late, go to sleep already.

She must have been upset when she wrote it. Her otherwise neat handwriting looked so different. I got suspicious. Something is wrong here.
Couldn't be right.
After getting something to eat, I lay down on my bed and tried to fall asleep. But again and again I began to doubt that their secret would not end well.
