Zoltar: NOT A TALAxBRYAN FIC. There are OC's

Maybe...

Chapter 1

Tala stood in the doorway to his sleeping teammate's room. He kept thinking about how wonderful his life was, but how horrible everyone else's was. Ever since they had gotten out of the Abbey everything had been okay. But Bryan just couldn't lose the memories. The beatings apparently still lingered in his mind.

"If," Tala started, his voice a low whisper. "If you could only try to calm yourself down then maybe we could talk and go back to a time where I could sleep without my dreams being plagued with worry, and breathe without hesitance. Maybe we could live normal. But what is normal? Maybe an overly high standard for all already 'normal' people out there to try and grasp." he paused. Then continued after getting his thoughts in order. "Or maybe a word made up for everyone to reach a non-existant perfection that society created in order for us to believe we are the ulto species. That evolution ends here. When inreality it doesn't. But if are to be normal, we must first get rid of all the ab-normal things in this world. And in order to do that, we must first destroy ourselves..." his voice trailed off but he continued in his thoughts.

'But even if we were normal, we could still not erase the memories. Biovolt scarred us and scars like these will never heal. We may be sad but we must also be strong. We survived, don't dwell on the past. Live in the now! But you can't forget. You won't forget.'

"Maybe, we could be friends instead of teammates. Maybe, we could be happy. Maybe we could be free. If only you could find someone who does that for you. Someone who liberates your soul. Maybe you will."

He stared at Bryan's unmoving figure and his heart sank. Yeah right, Bryan. Uncaring, menacing. Those were two words that popped into your head.

"But then again... maybes seldom are..." He trailed off again. "Try Bryan, try to be strong. Good night."

After Tala left the room Bryan sat up in bed.

'He wants me to forget...' he thought. 'But I can't... he could, he found somebody to ease the pain but what do I have?'

"Pain..." Bryan said. "All I have is pain..."

Zoltar: just a little depressing.
