Landon punched the bag furiously taking out his frustrations on it. It had now been two days since he'd seen Tara and he wanted to see her again. "Concentrate,"he commands himself punching the bag then kicking it,"You don't even know if it was all lies or if she really was tellin' the truth." "So you don't think I told you the truth, Landon?"she asks appearing behind him with a child of about six maybe a little older or younger. "Tara...."he says only her name as he picks up the bottle of water lying by his and the shirt he had been wearing earlier. "In the flesh....someone else wanted to see you, too. Here he is, Takira......" The little girl with her only smile as he kneels to her level,"So you're Takira?" She nods and he continues,"I wish I could remember you, but I don't remember much. My mind's a little off right now." Takira nods as if she understands but he could see her confusion and also the tears in her eyes. "Ok, kid.....you stay here and play with the bag while Takira and I talk a little,"he tells her putting his water down and pulling the shirt back on. Landon takes Tara's arm and pulls her out of the gym into the hall before either one can argue. "I've got some classes soon, but tell me everything you know about me." "Ok.....you're 17-my age, your only known family is a sister and cousin who both recently died, you've been with the brotherhood almost a year, you hate Toad-another brotherhood member, and you and I had a relationship......" "How physical was our relationship?"he asks remembering how he'd reacted to her kiss. She looks away as she speaks,"Not very; I'd been hurt before and you were kinda distant about the careing for people issue." "Was I the one to hurt you?"Landon questions placing one of his hands against her face to make her look at him. "No....you never hurt me, except forgetting me." "I'm sorry; I didn't chose to.....my sister and cousin, how'd they die?"he asks wanting, needing to know the answers. "Candra died in an accident with you-the one that gave you amnesia and Neo's unknown....."Tara tells him looking away from him which made him feel she knew more. "Why were Candra and I fighting?" "Landon, it's complicated....you're both half-demon and she wanted you both to become full demons. You would have had to sacrafice Takira to become that and you wouldn't...." Landon felt sick thinking about hurting that adorable child that he'd left in the gym and turns away resting his head against the cold metal of the locker. "Landon?" "Take her and get out...I need to be alone." He turns back to her adn kisses her aganist his better judgement. It was the same recation as before and he held it for longer this time, before pulling back. "Landon....."she tries again but he shakes his head. "No, just go...you'll know when I understand." He walks back into the gym, grabs his bag, then hurries out before he makes another mistake. Was it really a mistake though? What is she not telling me about Neo? I'm gonna find out...somehow....he promises entering class and sitting in the very back.
