"What do you mean you almost killed her and what is this game you are playing at? Why would you do something like this Lex? With your own sister of all people!"

As Bray continued to yell at Lex, he just stood there and took it, to both of their surprise.

"Bray if you would just calm down and let me explain." Lex started "But before I do we should head back I don't want to be away from Kimiko much longer."

They started to make their way out of the city. As they walked Lex began to tell Bray everything.

Kimiko was really into gymnastics when she was young and she was good. I mean she was going to be at the olympics once she found a proper coach. Well this didn't set well with Kimiko she continued to practice without a coach and she would come home dead exhausted and sleep for hours. I don't just mean she would come home at 4 in the afternoon and sleep till like six or seven that night, she would sleep till like seven or eight the next morning. Eventually she started to get up at 4 or 5 in the morning she would get her homework done make breakfast, get Dad and I up so we could start getting ready for work and school. She became the head of the house she took over paying the bills and writing the checks. All dad had to do was make sure that she had enough money to do it all. Which was never a problem for him. Why am I telling you all this it is none of your business, because if I have anything to say about it you and Kimiko will not be together for long." Lex snapped turning back to his old self.

"Lex you need to talk about this it will destroy you and Kimiko. So you have a choice you can tell me everything and let me help or you can let Kimiko think she has to do it all alone. She'll probably confide in Ebony. I'm sure Ebony would be more than glad to help her. Don't you think so Lex? Bray said as he push all of Lex's buttons.

"No, I will tell you as you need to know but you need to help me keep Ebony away from her that's the last thing we need is Ebony corrupting another one of us. Lex said

Bray reluctantly nodded in agreement

So how or why did you almost kill her? Bray asked

After our father told us about the virus and that he was on the team that was trying to find a way to stop it from spreading or so he said. He was leaving and he didn't know if was going to be coming home for a while. So I decided that I was going to go out and celebrate. Well I brought a few friends home. Kimiko was asleep in her room she had double practice that day. And she stayed late to work on a few moves, then she helped get dad packed made dinner and cleaned the house. Anytime she gets upset she cleans. Well the house was spotless she exhausted herself by doing it but it made her feel better. So anyway these friends' that I had just meant were making a lot of noise. Kimiko woke up she tried to get them out of the house and me sober. This did not set well with them they started to fight with her. She final kicked them out of the house, which took even more out of her. Well I was upset that she kicked my friends out and started fighting with her well we went at it for a while. She must have decided that she had enough cause she started to walk away. That's when... Lex broke off for a minute and stopped walking.

He then turned to Bray "Bray you have to believe me I was drunk and upset I never would have done that if I was in my right mind. I was mad at the world and she was always able to take my bull. I never meant to hurt her. I love her to much she is my life."

"I know Lex please finish we are almost to the camp. How about this let's sit a little bit you can finish telling me what happened okay?" Bray put his hand on Lex's shoulder as to say he understands and he won't hold anything against him.

Lex took a deep sigh and continued, " Well as she started to walk away I grabbed her and started yelling I don't even remember what I was saying. She pulled away from me and I will remember what happened next until the day I die. She pulled away very quickly, she fell backwards and hit her head against the glass coffee table. The table shattered there was blood all over the place. I called 911 she was in ICU for about three months two of those months she was in a coma. They didn't give her much time to live she pulled out of it but the day after she got out of the hospital. We were evacuated and that was the first time we saw our father in three months. He never came to the hospital the only reason I know this is because she was in a private room and I hardly left the room if I had to Zandra or Ryan stayed with her. She doesn't remember much of what happened I told her everything. You know what she said to me? She said she didn't care she knew I didn't mean to do it so she forgave me. She forgave me for almost killing her. What kind of brother almost kills his sister? So now after all that she has been though I have no idea what condition she is in. So if you wonder why I am... what is the word you used, oh yeah controlling you now know why." Bray took a few moments before speaking.

"Lex you can't keep beating yourself up. Kimiko has been through a lot and right now she needs her brother more now than ever. You can't totally be there for her if you are still dwelling on the past." They both made there way back to camp, the rest of the trip was in total silence.

By the time they got back it was late Bray went to give the book to Dal still not realizing he hadn't told Lex he found it. Lex went straight to where Kimiko would be sleeping.

"My little Kitten I am so sorry I promise from now on you have my full attention. I can never forgive myself for what I did but I can stop reliving it now that you are back. I will see you in the morning." He said looking down at the sleep girl.

He kissed her on her forehead trying not to wake her. He made his way to his bed and laid awake thinking of how he was going to make up for everything that he has put her through.

After Bray and Dal talked a bit about what had happened that day at camp and what Lex told Bray. Dal told Bray that Kimiko would not let him check her out after she collapsed while she was talking to Ebony. Three hours passed and the two guys figured it was close to one in the morning they decided to go to sleep.

Bray laid awake for a few more hours thinking of Kimiko. The way she never let on that anything was wrong or that her brother could very well have been spawn of the Satan. She looked at him as if he was an angel. She saw only goodness in Ebony, and she thought that he was her soul mate. The last part even Bray had to admit was a stretch but he felt that way about her. Even though they have not seen much of each other. He knew it didn't matter he had a feeling they would have the rest of their lives to get to know each other. Thoughts of Kimiko went around in his head as he finally nodded off.

The next morning, Bray woke up late the sun was up and most of the others were up and working. Bray walked in to the kitchen area he saw Kimiko sitting on Lex's lap with his arms around her. She was working in some kind of book, the book had no title. It was just a plan book, maybe it's a diary, no Lex wouldn't be that close if she was writing in a diary. He finally gave up wondering, he was just going to have to ask her. Before he started over she looked up and smiled at him, she looked amazing she must have had Ebony help her do some tribe make-up. She had a soft blue band over her eyes, it would have been almost impossible to see it if it wasn't for the fact that the blue had glitter in it and it shined when the light hit it just right. She continued to work in her book as Lex whispered in her ear. Every now and then she would roll her eyes or giggle at him, he would kiss the back of her head or neck when she would whisper back to him.

Bray thought to himself "that's more like it neither one of them looked like they had a care in the world."

"They make a cute couple. Who is she Bray?" Amber asked as she wrapped her arms around Bray.

"AMBER!" Bray shouted

This caused Kimiko and Lex to stand up as if ready to fight. Kimiko just smiled at him and nodded as if to say it's okay. Lex continued to whisper in her ear, as they sat back down on the bench as if nothing had happened.

"What are you doing back did you talk to all the Tribes already?" Bray questioned

Amber just looked at Bray for a moment confusion written all over her face.

"No I just came back for a little bit, I am on my way to talk to more tribes that have passed through the city to get to a safe area. So I figured while we were in the area I would stop by and maybe spend some time with you. Are you okay? Amber asked disappointed at Bray's reaction.

"Yeah I'm fine it's just you caught me at a bad time. We have a new person who is on the inside with the chosen. So we're coming up with a plan to start undermining them from the inside out. Bray said pointing at Kimiko

Lex saw where is was going he got up from where he was sitting and made his way over to Amber and Bray. Kimiko a few seconds later got up too and joined the three.

"Wait, you are actually going to trust a member of the chosen just because Lex obviously wants to make her... Oh help me out here Lex what is this one going to be wife number three? Or are you just going to use her and throw her away?" Amber started yelling so that the entire room heard her.

Lex just stood there for a moment calming himself so he wouldn't say anything he would later regret.

"Amber you have no idea what you are saying can we please take this somewhere else to discuss like rational people?" Amber was shocked by his tone and his polite approach to asking.

"No I don't think we will take this someplace else." Amber said continuing in her previous tone.

"In that case I will go see if Dal or Ebony need any help with anything okay?" Kimiko asked in a soft voice, looking in Lex's eyes.

"Good idea." Lex said as he stepped back so she could get to the door.

"Oh no you don't" Amber said grabbing Kimiko by her arm and pulling her back.
