She could feel her eyes swell with tears, she didn't want to leave. But she hadn't really made a life on earth, it's not like she would leave and anyone would miss her but Alex. But Alex was enough to make her want to stay. "I'm scared that if I leave.. I'll never be able to return." Her tears fell more easily. "I didn't expect so much pain." She sobbed quietly. She Turned and wrapped her arms around him a small noise escaped her as the pain surged through her entire torso. "I don't want to leave again."

Alex silently raised her chin. Looking deep into her eyes for a moment, he leaned forward and touched his lips to hers. A warmth spread from the touch and suffused her entire being, washing away the pain. When he pulled away, there was no blood on her bandages, and in fact there were no bandages. Ashes were all that was left of the bindings. "Now you don't have to."

Her tears streamed as he leaned her head up, their eyes locked which only made her want to cry harder. She was scared that he was going to send her off, tell her goodbye and that she needed to leave. She braced herself for it as he leaned down to kiss her as if she thought it was the last time, once their lips met she gasped against them feeling a rush go through her body, immense pain hit her at first before it cooled the angered wounds until she felt no pain at all. When he released her lips she smiled but her body felt limp against him, recovering from how tense her body had been. She looked up at him weakly, "Kiss me again." She whispered.

"Always," He said, bringing her up into his arms and kissing her deeply. He held her tight against him, not afraid of hurting her anymore, and stood up, taking her with him. He carried her over to the bed, "You'll need to sleep again soon," He said, breaking the kiss for a moment. "Don't worry, this time it's because you're recovering, not because you're wounded. When you wake up again you'll be better than ever." He fell backwards, ending up with her lying on top of him, their lips locked together again. Finally he pulled back, breathing heavily. "I told you I would never let you leave me again."

By the time she came out James was dressed in his other set of clothes, a dark green hoodie and black jeans with ripped knees. He was sitting on the bed staring off into space with a dead look in his eyes. James didn't even look up as she came out of the bathroom. Flashes of memories were attacking James's mind as he sat there. Slowly James turned to Nessie, "Huh..." He smiled and all the pain seemed to melt away, "You look awesome!" James blushed, "And beautiful."

Nessie smiled, going over to him, and sitting down beside him. "I d-d-don't l-like it w-when you d-d-disappear l-like that" She said softly, kissing his cheek. Nessie would do just about everything to make James happy, but she just didn't know how, when he seemed to go away.

She would try, and that was all she could do. She smiled, and hugged him, "you s-s-said s-something about i-ice cream?" she said enthusiastically

Kyron chuckled, "Whats the matter? Afraid of cooties?" he asked sarcastically at her. "We arent that cheesy of a couple to make out in front of someone. So anyways, where did you appear from? Were you not introduced here when the others were?" he asked her curiously.

"I was in a coma, I think I already told you that." Forest replied, folding her arms and squinting. "And no, I'm not afraid of the cooties you'll give." She stated looking between the two and mentally separating them.

James smiled and simply kissed her, "I know...I'm sorry...I get lost in all of it sometimes...my dad was like that...he served for years as a peacekeeper...it changed him allot..." James looked down att his hands, "Sometimes he would have these fits of rage...thats when he hit mom..." James breathed in slowly, "And now I fear that I suffer with his curse..." James turned to her and his sadness melted, "Oh icecream for sure...with chocolatey stuff on top!"

Nessie held him close, arms around him, "I w-w-won't l-let you s-stay l-lost f-f-from me" She said, smiling. "And I know y-you w-won't hurt m-me" She added, confident in that. "C-c-chocolatey s-stuff is t-the b-best" She kissed him before starting out to the mess hall, her hand in his

James smiled and started walking next to her with the air wrapping around them softly, "I do love chocolate...Its almost as sweet as you." As they came into the mess hall he made her sit down and he went and got them ice-cream. When he came back to the table he was carrying two triple dipped chocolate fudge sundaes, "Chocolaty goodness...Don't you think so Nes?"

Nessie sat down, watching him go off, before glancing about. She watched almost warily for her brother, looking up when James came back. She smiled, and nodded "t-they l-look amazing!" She said happily, standing to take one from him

James handed it to her with a smile and sat down next to her, "So...Whats your theory on why we are here?" James was looking around as if Z were going to jump out from any corner of the room, "All of this is very militaristic...It makes me wonder...Are we being trained...whittling out the weak ones and making a militia...It worries me." James reached his hand down and pet hope softly while his eyes scanned the room for some unseen enemy.

Jacob slid out from his table and nodded to him, "Yeah see you around." Jacob passed by James and Nes and nodded and tilted his head to the door to let them know he was heading out. After a few minutes he came back into the training area and went over to the Phorros side and pulled out the two geodes from his pockets to create his sword and shield which he then used to bludgeon a training dummy to death.

Nessie thought on that as she ate her sundae. She ended up with chocolate all over her face, and tried to wipe it off with a napkin, "W-w-well" She said, "I t-think w-we are here b-b-because..." She trailed of, frowning, "I t-t-think we are h-h-here b-buh-because we are d-d-different. Buh-buh-because we n-need to learn c-c-c-control. B-buh-because...perhaps we are an army" She shrugged, "W-w-we will l-learn in t-t-time" She said, licking her lips.

She looked about, seeing Luke, and looking down. She knew if she let herself, she'd go back to simply letting Luke do everything for her, and she didn't want that.
