~*from you one look*~

just one look and everything is shattered

from you one word

~*towers burn and fall and fall*~

Brennen stood there is disbelief. Shalimar, dying? He couldn't believe it. He felt his heart breaking. She couldn't die, she just couldn't

*** They all had gone their separate way, to deal with their pain in there own ways. Brennen went to the sparing room. Emma had gone to the reflective pool. Adam had gone to the lab. Jesse went to his room. ***

Brennen ran, and ran. He couldn't stay there. He had to get away. He ran to the sparing room. There he strapped on some hand grads and began pummeling the bag. He always was active when he was upset, and Shalimar knew that. He beat the bag harder. He hated it when the was a problem and there was nothing he could do. Shalimar couldn't die. He promised himself he would protect her, and look what happened. If she died it would be his fault. He couldn't get there in time. He heard someone walk in behind him.
"How you doing?"
"How do you think I am Adam? And why aren't you in there trying to save her. Or trying to find a way to kill him!"
"I'm not going to kill anybody"
"Why not? He did this to her! He's killing her and you don't even care"
"Or course I care! Don't you think I want to! Don't you think I'd like to take him by the throat and hold on until there's no more life in that son of a bitch? But I can't" Brennen heard the tears in his voice.
"Adam I-I don't know what to do!"
"I think you're in a lot of pain, and I think you should talk about it"
"What do you want me to say Adam? That I'm in so much agony that I feel like I'm dying. That it scares me to death that I might never get to see Shalimar again. That I might never hear her laugh or see her smile. Or that I might never see her Kick some ass again. Or that I might have to watch her little broken body be lowered into the ground. A body that was once full of life put in the cold ground." His voice broke as he pictured it He fell to the ground, his head in his hands. Not Shalimar, not Shal. Why couldn't it have been him? Why? He felt the tears coarse down his cheeks. He couldn't live without Shalimar, he didn't want to. He felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Adam, she-she might never know that I- That I. . ." He couldn't finish. It was too much.
"That you love her?"
"Yes, so much. . . "Adam waited, Brennen wasn't done, not by a long shot "I promised myself I would protect her, and I failed. Why couldn't it have been me?. . . I'm scared Adam, I've never been this scared in my life. I can't bear to think that tomorrow I'll wake up and she won't be there" The tears can freely now. He didn't even try to hide them. "I-I can't live without her Adam." Adam rubbed his back as Brennen sat there weeping over the woman he couldn't bear to be without.

~*fires curl*~

shadows surge

a hollow sound

that no one else can here

but me in silent streams

forever more we dream
from you one look

just one look and everything is shattered

from you one word

~*towers burn and fall and fall*~
