Tahu walked inside the hut Tali was being taken care in. He walked up behind Gali and wrapped his arms around Gali's waist," How is she?"" She'll be fine. She just needs to rest."" All right. What about you? You need to sleep too."" I'll get some sleep when Tali wakes up." Tahu kissed Gali's cheek and sat next to Tali on the bed. Tahu looked down at Tali and rubbed her head," Get well soon my little Toa." Tahu left the hut and joined the others," How is she?"" She'll be fine Pohatu. She just needs to rest."" That's good but what are we going to do about Makuta?"" I don't know Kopaka. We thought he had been destroyed by Takua but he survived. We'll just have to lay low awhile." The other Toa nodded and left, except for Lewa and Tahu, who set to helping the Ta-Matoran.

Memories consume

like opening the wound

I'm picking me apart again

You all assume

I'm safe here in my room

unless I try to start again

Tali moaned and awoke from her sleep," Where am I?"" Your home honey."" Mom? What happened?"" You were kidnapped and injured by Makuta. Your father and the others saved you."" Oh." Tali tried to sit up but her side hurt where she was slashed. She laid back down and looked at Gali," Mom, Could you send Dad in?"" All right." Tahu came in and flashed Tali a smile," How you feeling Tali?"" Sore but I'm okay."" Well we're going to attack Makuta soon."" Dad, can I ask you something?"" Yes Tali?"" Is it okay if I don't go with you?"" Yes its fine. I kinda figured you wouldn't want to go."

I don't want to be the one

the battles always choose

cause inside I realize

that I'm the one confused

Tali smiled at her father," Thanks Dad."" Your welcome. Remember you'll always be my little Toa. You don't have to fight."" Dad its not that I don't want its just, I don't see the point. I know we have to protect Mata-Nui but, every time we destroy one evil another always takes its place." Tahu looked at Tali and pulled her into a kind hug. Tali wrapped her arms around Tahu's neck and began to cry," Tali its okay. We will defeat any evil that threatens Mata-nui."" Okay dad."" Good now get some sleep." Tahu dried the last of Tali's tears, covered her, and kissed her forehead.

I don't know what's worth fighting for

or why I have to scream

I don't know why I instigate

and say what I don't mean

I don't know how I got this way

I know it's not alright

So I'm breaking the habit

I'm breaking the habit

tonight

' Tali come to me.' No, I won't join you.' You must Tali, or your parents shall die.' No you can't kill them.' Oh but I can and will. Join me or become an orphan.' I will not join you nor shall I fight you. I won't fight, I won't fight.' Aaaaargh' "Aaaaagh." Tali's own scream brought her out of her nightmare. She was covered in sweat and she was terrified. Tahu and Gali came into Tali's room and Gali hugged her close," Its okay Tali it was just a dream."

Clutching my cure

I tightly lock the door

I try to catch my breath again

I hurt much more

than anytime before

I had no options left again

Tali calmed down and looked at her parents," It was Makuta. He came and told me if I didn't join him he would kill you both." Gali looked at Tahu who was filled with rage," Your not going to join Makuta nor are we going to die." Tahu left to get the other Toa leaving Gali with Tali," Oh Tali don't worry we won't die."" Promise?"" I promise."" And if you do die?"" You will go live with Kopaka" Gali hugged Tali and left. Tali watched through her window as the others left,' I have to make sure they stay safe.' Tali collected her armor and swords, following the other Toa.

that I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for

or why I have to scream

I don't know why instigate

and say what I don't mean I

don't know how I got this way

I'll never be alright

So I'm breaking the habit

I'm breaking the habit

Tonight

I'll paint it on the walls

cause I'm the one at fault

I'll never fight again

and this is how it ends

I don't know what's worth fighting for

or why I have to scream

But now I have some clarity

to show you what I mean

I don't know how I got this way

I'll never be alright

So I'm breaking the habit

I'm breaking the habit

I'm breaking the habit

tonight
