Shadowwolf:  WOW!!! I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING! It's just that stupid school. I love seeing my friends there (including LibaD 2000) but, jeeze, is it annoying.

Brad:  I thought you died!

Shadowwolf:  Me too! Well, here's the second chapter of Confusion-oh, you know the stupid title, you're reading the thing.

Naomi:  Is she alright?

Brad:  Is she /ever/ alright?

Naomi:  Good point.

Shadowwolf:  I can here you guys!  I'm right here! (Mad TV, he, he… ^_^) So, here's the next chapter, even though it's really short.  Thanks to all of my wonderful buddies that review!! ^_^ Here it is!  If it's stupid, just let me know so I can change it. ^_-

Brad:  She forgot again.

Naomi:  Let me do it!  Disclaimer:  Shadowwolf does not own Zoids or anything in the story.

Shadowwolf:  Thanks.  Hope you enjoy!

CONFUSION OF THE HEART AND MIND CH. 2,

CRYSTAL TEARS, TORN EMOTIONS, AND SILENT MOONBEAMS

            How could he do this to me?  I-I trusted him.  I cared for him.  I loved him.  And now, I find out he's nothing but a common cockroach.

            Naomi lay on her bed, crystal tears slowly running down her face.  She never cried.  It just wasn't the way she vented her emotions.  Zoid battles were.  Naomi never really wanted a relationship, but when she saw Brad.  It was like, well, strangely enough, like she had been struck.  She couldn't believe that she had such strong feelings for a guy she didn't even know.

            Stupid woman.  Love isn't real.  Only bad comes from expressing emotions to someone else.  Especially men.  Men are nothing but trouble.

            Naomi sighed and wiped the tears off her face.

            I promise never to fall in love again.  I won't cry either.

            She sat up, and reached for her lamp.  The lamp clicked as she turned it off, and then it was completely silent.  Moonbeams ran in through her window, and fell silently across her bed.  With this peaceful, cozy setting, Naomi burrowed under her covers, and fell into a very restless sleep.

Shadowwolf:  I told you it was short!  I'm sorry it's that way, but I got the inspiration at 11:30pm, so what can ya do?  Hopefully, if school doesn't get in the way -_-, the next chapter will be up soon.  And oh yeah, at 11:30, I also got inspiration for a sequel to Hunter's Prey.  So expect a sequel, that is if I ever finish the first one…  Thanks so much! ^_^
