Lex laid awake in his bed at the Rebel HQ he was up early that day. He gazed at the ceiling, he had that dream again he was at his house, on the day that would haunt him for the rest of his life. He kept going through the chain of events wondering if he did or said something different then maybe things would be different now. As he looked back he realized it had been almost a year to date. He remembered, he had awoke early that day too not because he wanted to but because his father was waking him up. He can still remember every detail of that morning; one of the few things that stuck out the most was the fact that for the first time his father sounded concerned for him.

~Flashback~

"Come on Lex we don't have much time you need to wake up. Lexington Sean Bock, wake up right NOW!!! You two must leave now they are evacuating and I do not want you two separated you have to leave and hide. You don't have to worry about anything I have made sure that you will be safe, but if you don't get up now then I can't guarantee anything. Except the fact that you two will never see each other again!!!!!!" His father shouted

With that Lex shot out of bed like he was on fire.

"What do you mean?" Lex demanded.

"Lex move it we have to leave now!" A voice said from behind his father.

Lex pushed past his father.

"What's going on are you okay, are you...?" he asked as his voice broke a bit.

"No I am fine we just need to leave, now." The person said.

You two if anything happens remember your story and stay together. Lex's father said as they headed down stairs.

At the bottom of the steps were two semi-small bags. They had just moved into the house not more than a days ago and had to pack a small bag each just incase. Lex remembered how he wished he packed his bag a bit lighter. His thoughts were interrupted.

"Lex are you awake yet?" Ebony shouted as she kicked the side his stomach.

This pulled him him back to reality. He wanted to remember but it was hard and painful but he would never let himself forget. It was his fault and some how he need to fix it or at least make up for it.

"Whoa you looked deep in thought hope you didn't hurt yourself doing that." Ebony said with a smirk on her face. "Now wake up Bray is outside covering your guard duty. So get your butt out there!! Ebony continued

"Okay, in a minute I am going to get something to eat first. If that is okay with you?"

Ebony had an expression of disbelief on her face. Lex had never seen that look before, but then the reason why came to him. It was because he was actually semi-nice to her when he said that. Lex quickly snapped back to his old self adding.

"Besides he is probably out there just waiting for Amber to come back. Don't know why he will be with another blonde in a month." Lex said sounding certain.

"How do you know that?" Ebony said as she raised one of her eyebrows.

Lex realized quickly what he had done and then started to stumble his words a bit, but soon regained his tone and covered his tracks.

"Well you know Bray he just can't make up his mind. Plus if you haven't noticed Pride is still not back. The way I figure it is nature boy and Amber are probably in the woods some where making with cuddles if you know what I mean." Lex said as a coy smile grew on his lips

"Oh get over it Lex just because you miss Tai-san..." Ebony said with disgust in her voice

"Hey!!" Lex shouted cutting her off. "Don't you bring Tai-san into this. We all know you have a thing for Pride and don't want to hear that he could actually care for Amber more than you just like Bray does." With that Lex got up and left leaving Ebony to fume over what she knew was the truth.

As Lex left for the kitchen area his thoughts were drawn back to that day. How he wished he could forget that day or even redo it.

~Flashback~

As they were leaving the people that were helping evacuate all the kids were right there at the door.

Good your ready come on lets go it is not safe for you here. One said grabbing a hold of both their arms.

Lex knew that he would be able to out run them but if he did he would be alone. So Lex watched helplessly as they were both put in to the van. Which was one of the last times they saw each other.

As they were in the van she stared out the window. She saw their neighbor house and she regretted not going over and introducing herself. She had to smile at herself. What a stupid thought to have at a time like this. She thought to herself.

Lex asked

She was about ready to speak but one of the people told them to be quite. She was on the phone letting the base know that all the children in the area have been evacuated.

~End of Flashback~

As Bray stood outside his thoughts turned to Amber. He could swear that if he thought about her and how it was before all of this happened then maybe he could love her like he did before. He still loved her just not the way she loved him. He remembered the other day, it was just after the chosen attacked them when they were trying to capture Trudy and un-brainwash her. Amber was a mess she thought Dal had died, and in that moment they both were weak. Amber never regretted that moment but Bray thought that maybe they should have waited. The next day Dal came back a bit beaten up but fine. His thoughts then turned to Danni, he felt horrible about what happened to her he needed to find her but then what would happen after that he didn't love her like that either. He loved them both as if they were his sisters. As he pulled himself out of his thoughts he noticed a figure in woods moving closer to the camp. At first he thought it might be Pride but as the figure got closer he could tell that it wasn't Pride. This person was too small to be him, maybe. Oh how he hoped it would be anyone else but Amber he still needed time to think. He wanted to be alone to figure things out so much has happened. The person was now close enough that he could tell it was not Amber the person was a bit taller and thinner than Amber. The person was now close enough that Bray could talk to them.

"Stop, who are you, what business do you have here?" Bray asked with a forceful tone.

The person stopped for a second and was about to talk when Bray felt a shiver run down his back he could tell the person no longer was looking at him even though he could not see the persons face. It was like he wasn't even there, the next thing he knows is he is on his back and the person is now walking towards Lex and Ebony.

"Hey stop I don't want to hurt you." Bray heard Lex saying.

The person stopped. As Bray got up, he saw the person was now taking off their cloak. As the cloak fell to the ground long strawberry blonde hair fell over the back and shoulders of the person. Bray looked on in amazement both Lex and Ebony had expressions of pure shock on their faces, which Bray thought probably matched his own. He could have sworn that the person who had flipped him was a man he had never known a girl to have that much strength. Bray's thoughts were once again interrupted when the girl finally spoke.

"Lexington?" a tear-filled voice questioned

Lex embraced her tightly.

Bray was given a even bigger shock as he saw tears fall from Lex's face. Bray had never seen Lex cry not even when Zandra and the baby died. A few of the mallrats said that he had cried but would leave when he did, so no one would see him. But now he was openly letting his emotions out. Final the silence that seemed to last a lifetime was broken.

"Kimiko is that really you?" The girl just nodded right before she collapsed in Lex's arms.

Lex screamed which brought both Ebony and Bray out of shock. Dal came running out to see what was going on.
