Before I start, sorry bout the switch in character's point of view. Figured
you deserved to hear a little from the dark side. As a heads up, I might do
that again, but no worries, you'll know whos head your in. Enjoy and please

It took me forever to get back to the temple. The scouts and I searched through the whole park, looking for victims. We ended up with a total of 12 people dead. Not a good thing for us. Even worst, we aren't sure how to stop the enemy this time. Seems that our normal powers barely affect them. As I climbed the stairs to the temple, I suddenly remembered that I had promised to meditate with Tobias. I ran the last few stairs, bursting into the temple out of breath. " I'm so sorry, Tobias, I totally lost track of time," I cried as I stepped into the meditation room.
I found Tobias on the floor in a traditonal position with his eyes closed. He looked absolutely stunning in a pair of sweatpants and an unbuttoned shirt that showed of his muscles. He looked good, not overly muscled but enough to show definition. I sat down next to him and started to meditate along with him. I sat there with my eyes closed too, just listening to his breathing, which was slow and even. As hard as I tried, I could never fully get into the deep concentration I was hoping to slip into. I couldn't stop thinking about Tobias. I glanced over at him. His eyes were open now, but he was still just staring out into space. Suddenly, tears slowly started to form at his eyes.
He finally blinked after a few more minutes. " Oh, shit!" he said quietly while he dabbed at his tears. He turned his head towards me, looking at me as if this was the first time he saw me. " Are you ok?" I asked, wondering what the tears were for. " You weren't here, Raye," he simply said, turning back around to face the fire burning in front of him," but it's not your fault. I couldn't handle it. I thought I could. Excuse me, Raye," He quickly stood up and left, leaving me to sit here, beyond puzzled. I wonder what the heck he was talking about. Figuring I could never concentrate on my meditation, I went back to the main entrance of the temple to see if I could help grandpa with anything. Instead, I ran into Chad.
" Hi, Raye. What's going on?"
" Hey Chad. Not too much. I'm just worried about Tobias. He had a breakdown while meditating. I don't know why and I'm just worried about him."
" No need to be. He can take care of himself. Seems he's been through some hard times in his past. You can always ask him about it, ya know. I was just on my way to deliever this glass of water to him. Uh..if you want, you can go give it to him, Raye."
" Yeah, I would like to. Maybe he'll tell me what's going on."
" He's at the hot springs."
" Thanks, Chad."
" Hey, Raye.....don't push him too much ok?"
" Yeah, I won't. "
" You don't like him do you? I mean like him like him, not like him as a friend like him."
" (laughes) Chad, you can talk like such a girl sometimes. And yeah, I think I do like him. He seems... nice."
" Troubled is more the term I would have used. Just be careful, ok?"
" Ok already. Can I go now? "
"Yeah, Raye."
Wonder why Chad was acting so weird. I'm just going to talk to him, not marry him. Ooo, I wish I could. I can't believe myself. Falling for some guy I just met and haven't even gotten to know yet. What am I going to do with myself?
