"You two mental share eachothers pain, but neither of you have said anything aloud so you feel more alone then you need to be. Anyway he's awake so you might want to talk."

~Lysie
"Awake?" I looked over at the door and saw Karris standing in the doorway, with an eyebrow raised. "I...uh....um..." My face turned a deep red. I felt so embarassed, 'what if he heard me?' I thought to myself.

~Karris
I nodded, "Yes, we have some...'things' to discuss. But anyways, thanks for helping." I turned and walked into my room to sit at the table I had. I could wait for Lysie to calm down.

~Sylvia

"Your not the only one with problems, just because I seem happy all the time doesn't mean a thing, what you don't know I'd that I'm an incredible actress. Now I'll leave you two alone."

~Lysie
I gave Sylvia a quick hug before heading into Karris's room. He was sitting down at the table, looking at me with a smile. The one he fakes when he is troubled. I sat down at the table and asked, "Did you...uh...hear what I said...out there?" Karris looked down and licked his lips in contemplation of something. Or he was just trying to word his response right.

~Karris
I waited for a few minutes to let Lysie and Sylvia finish their conversation. When Lysie came in I tried to smile as sincere as possible, but I was troubled by what she had said out there with Sylvia. I knew that Sylvia was trying to help and I am grateful for her being around. She carried a light not many possessed. Lysie then asked me after sitting down at the table, "Did you...uh...hear what I said...out there?" I looked down and I licked my lips trying to find the right words to say. But, they eluded me.

When I left u head toward the gym,
It's nice what you where trying to do back there, but they need to go their own pace.
I sighed, it was true but it was hard for me not to help.
'Are you close?'
Closer then you think, I'm in the building.
'Where?!'
Somewhere you've never been...

~Lysie
I waited for him to collect himself and I learned to try and not push him when he wanted to be himself. He seemed so troubled, so...out of character. It kind of scared me, but I knew that he wouldn't hurt me. He was too light hearted to do such a thing.

~Karris
I finally came up with this, "I heard what you said. And, I understand how you feel. But, it's a little too fast for me. As much time as we have spent with each other. There are things I must deal with before I can see myself as fit for any sort of relationship. I could barely protect you, and I had the strength to fight because I was fighting not because of my sake but for another's." I stopped to take a breath. "I'm pretty sure you can understand. But, since it hurts me emotionally and mentally, it also affects you because of our link. I don't want to seem like I don't like you, I'm just trying to protect you from me." I hoped she would understand, and care enough to know how I felt. But the truth was, I was afraid of being like the others. The ones who had tried and failed, the ones who went insane and turned into the blood thirsty monsters everyone sees us as.

'Where?'
A hiden meeting room near they gym, ah brings back memory's.
I almost laugh, but I didn't.
'So is anyone going to see you, or will you be the man behind the current.'
Talk to Candy then we'll see
Then I saw one of the 'nurses' run down the hall, "Sylvia, Candy is awaking again." I nod, then follow her.

[T1B3R1U5]

~Lysie
What Karris said, wasn't the least bit selfish. It made me feel sympathy for him since he suffered for my sake. All this time I thought it was because he couldn't see past me being a friend. I looked down and tried to stop myself from showing th tears in my eyes. It wasn't sadness. It was happiness I felt on a levl that had not name for. Funny, for our civilization for being around for many centuries you'd expect us to hav found names them. But of course, we still have a ways to go yet.

~Karris
I saw her try and hide her tears. I let out a small sigh and waited for her to compose herself. I knew that it wasn't pain that brought up her tears, but sense of happiness that brought them forward. I looked down slightly and started remembering the terrible incident she had with that Hell hound back on Holle. The bloody mess that it left her in, the smell of fear and pain mixed to create a rancid scent that wasn't perceivable by conventional means. The images flickered across my mind and only thought, 'If only I had been a few moments soon, I could have protected her. But everything happens for a reason. It also explains her fear of dogs.'

~Sylvia

As I walked into infermary I saw Candy sitting up in her bed, she gave me her 'I'm irritated with you' look but let a bit of happiness through.
"What are you doing checking on me when you have your father to talk to or whatever," bitter, as always. I smile.
"I wanted to say thanks," I replyed calmly.
"Please, we both know I didn't do shit," but she smiled. Leave it to Candy to bitter the mood.
"Fine drama queen I'll leave you alone, but don't think you'll get off so easy next time," then I turn around and before I left I whispered to one of the girls, 'If she wants to leave let her, not doing so would be bad for your health.'

~Lysie
I don't know why I cry so easily. It makes me seem overly sensitive. Karris on the other hand was my complete opposite. He was quiet even when he suffered the greatest pain possible. He held so many things away from him, because of his lost faith in himself and the world around him. A path of self-destruction. I looked at him and he was lost in the past again. Beating himself up about things he wished he could change.

~Karris
I needed time to myself again. But I had to deal with Lysie, it was getting to be tedious again. The weight of guilt and pain I felt about things that happened to her in my care, was almost to the point of unbearable. Vince would be ashamed of how I'm handling things right now. He was always the mentor to me, even though he was only a year older.
