Chapter 38

"Reunion"

(Back at Starfire's Hut)

"Come Starfire, we must hurry." Fiera said as they ran out of the house and into the yard.

"We don't know where to look for him." Starfire cried. They stood there for a few minutes, trying to contemplate any possible places he could have gone. Then Starfire thought of a place. "Mommy, he must of gone to Tendra's grave!" she shouted out. "We have nowhere else to look." she said as they shot down the path to the mines.

"Tendra, friend, what will I do?" asked Anders. He was sitting in between the mounds that contained his friend and his first section leader. "I don't think I can live without her. I miss her so much. Tomorrow is her funeral. I made sure she'll be buried by the lake." He hung his head in shame. He was talking to his dead friend. He lay down and stared up at the star filled sky. He heard footsteps approaching. He didn't bother to look up, he knew who it was.

"Anders! Where have you been? I came to check on you, but you weren't there." Fiera said frantically.

"Starfire stared at him in what was near to disgust. "What's the matter with you Anders? Why do you so this? Their dead, and she is too. Except it."

Anders blinked and sat up. He looked at the ground, thinking about her question. "I don't know Star. All I know is that I loved Renee, and she's gone. Maybe I should go too."

"Anders, your scaring me." Fiera said quietly. She was near to tears.

Anders rose and hugged his mother. "I'm sorry mom, I just really miss her. So, so much…" he was sobbing now. Fiera hugged him. They sat on the ground, Fiera rocking Anders in her arms, allowing him to cry. Starfire stood there beside them, not crying, but staring in disbelief at the mess that is her life.

After a half an hour of grieving and crying, Fiera got up. "Come now, we have a funeral to go to tomorrow."

Anders rose and allowed himself to be guided by his mothers arm around him. It was extraordinarily wonderful not to be alone and have to carry this pain yourself. Starfire dragged on after them.

The family arrived home and all went to sleep, not uttering a single word. But after all, what was there to say?
