"You can't honestly kill a child even for her, Landon." Tara's voice was between angry
and desperate as he turns in his sleep. "You would actually kill your own sister for a
single child?"the voice asks as if in disbelief. The last two voices he heard were mixed
together. One sounding very young repeating quietly,"Daddy?" The second stronger
and mocking,"Yes, nice to see you again, too, Landon," "No, no!"he struggles to reach
conscienceness, but his mind stays in the dream. He watches himself or a form of
himself facing the two people and knew them- Candra and Neo. Tara stood behind
them just out of either of their views. Everything that happened next was a fast blur,but
he saw enough: Candra's attack, heard the snap of Neo's neck, watched Tara release
him then yell to him, Takira's crying, the sirens.............
Landon woke up. She killed him, Tara killed Neo....the though made him cold all over
and he realized that he was shivering. "I gotta get outta here,"he mutters pulling on
clothes, shoes, and his leather jacket before hurrying out. His room mate stirs a little,
but doesn't waken at all. Why would Tara keep something like her killing him from me?
Why?I wish I knew the answers....he wonders about all this as he walks out of the
gates heading toward an unknown destination. I want to be with her, but how much
more is she hiding from me about my past?Landon shakes his head willing away the
voice in the back of his mind. "Shut up, shut up, shut up..." He walks on through the
town and stops outside the giant building where he could see a single light on within.
His eyes scanned the darkened rooms knowing she'd be there waiting for him to tell
her that he understood. The roof...he nods remembering a time with her on the roof
and exits his blades beginning to climb the wall to the roof. He steps onto it and looks
around. At first he doesn't see her, but afterwhile he notices her shadows falling
across the roof. She stood with her back to him looking out over everything below.
Landon puts his blades in and walks to her without a sound. He stops just behind her
and puts his arms around her pulling her back against him. She struggles at first, then
looks up at him,"Landon...." "Yes, Tara, I understand,"he tells her leaning down and
pressing his mouth against hers hard.
Tara struggles trying to turn to him while still kissing him. "You remember everything?"
she asks moving away and looking up at him. He smiles, but she could see there was
everything, but a smile in his eyes. "When were you planning to tell me about you and
Neo? That you kill him?"he demands his voice cold as ice in the cold night. She stares
at him, then answers,"You needed to remember on your own. It was for you, Landon.....
he would have helped Candra kill us, then takira; it wasn't how you seem to remember
it...." "It doesn't change that you killed him and hid it; he was my family and you killed
him." He only knows that fact about what happened; I have to make him remember the
rest.... "Landon, more happened that night then just my killing Neo,"she tries breaking
through to him and places one hand against his face. He stares at her for a moment
then shoves her hand away. "I can't trust you anymore." As Landon speaks his blades
slowly exit his hands......
