He had warned her. It was on the car ride here that he had warned her, but she didn't want to believe him. Now standing in front of the large glass window, eyes filling with tears she turned and clutched to his arm for support.
(Earlier that day)
Kimla leaned her forehead against the window watching the road speed by underneath them, "So… why are we going to Michigan?" She sighed turning the radio on and began flipping through the stations.
Logan snorted, "Guess I should probably tell ya," he frowned glancing at her out the corner of his eye, "I found yer sister."
Kimla's eyes widened, "You found Lilly?"
"Don't get too excited yet, there's more," He turned off the radio glancing at Kimla once more, "She was involved in a hit-and-run and is in the hospital."
"Is she okay?"
"No, she's been in a coma fer three years."
Kimla could feel her heart sink right into the pit of her stomach, "T-three years?"
Logan nodded grimly unable to pull his eyes off the road. There was a deafening silence, then a slow sad sigh escaped passed Kimla's parted lips and she closed her eyes trying to hold back tears.
"I-I can't figure it out," She whispered, "What have I done so wrong to disserve a life like this?"
"You can't blame yerself fer this Kimla, it's not yer fault."
"It was him, wasn't it?" She looked up tears running down her cheeks, her lips twitched towards a frown.
He nodded gripping the steering wheel a little tighter, "We're almost there."
(Present)
Kimla tucked a strand of Lilly's long brown hair behind her ear then took her hand in hers and frowned, "At least I know where she is now," She sighed, "Do you think she will ever wake up?" Her voice had quieted to a whisper.
Logan frowned moving away from the wall and rested a hand on her shoulder, "I don't know."
Kimla bowed her head and closed her eyes, then after a few moments stood up and walked to the door.
She glanced over her shoulder at Logan, "I… I need to leave." Her eyes shining with unshed tears in the light she turned and walked out of room disappearing down the hall. Logan glanced back at Lilly, shook his head sadly and left.

Logan walked out the front doors of the hospital finding Kimla sitting on the steps staring down at her shoes. He watched her for a minute then sat down besides her looking up at the sky.
"I'm sorry, I thought you'd like to know."
"I did want to know. It's just…"
He looked over at her, "Just what?"
"Has someone ever done something to you and you don't know why?"
He smiled wryly running a hand through his hair, "That's the story of my life, darlin'."
"It is?" She looked up furrowing her eyebrows.
"You don't think that I've always had claws, do you?"
"I never thought about it." She frowned looking away.
He hesitantly wrapped an arm around her shoulders and she leaned against him, resting her head against his chest.

A/N: Sorry this was a pretty short chapter and took me a little while to get out. I rewrote it several times and changed what was going to happen twice… The next chapter will be longer. (Hopefully. -_-)
