'Malik, please be okay...'
Kaya thought as she rushed to his hospital room.'It's all my fault you're here...If I was stronger I could protect myself, and not put you in danger...'
Upon arriving to his room, she began to cry. Malik was lying on his stomach, the covers of the bed around his waist. He was naked from the waist up and had a large bloodstained bandage around his injuries. She slowly walked into the room and sat in a chair by the bed.
'Mali...'She thought as she place her hand on his bandaged one.'Why did you protect me?' A tear fell from her eye and landed on the sheets.
Kaya never noticed how handsome Malik was-the tan of his lean, graceful body, his hair like strands of gold, the strange, hypnotic, yet beautifully haunting of his amethyst of his eyes-would they remain close until the end of time.
"Kaya..." Malik said weakly as he stirred from his sleep.
"Mali! You're alright!" She said as she began to cry.
"Kaya...Don't you cry. You..know...that I hate it when you...do..." He said,
sadness showing in his voice.
"Okay, Big Brother." She said as she brushed a strand of his blonde hair from his face as another tear fell from her eye.
Taking his hand, Malik wiped away the tears from her face before he winced at the sudden pain that shot through his body.
"Mali..." She said as she stroked his hair hoping that it would take his mind off the pain.
"I'm okay..." He said as he winced at the pain again. "I'm used to this pain."
'What pain? The pain of being lonely? His damn loneliness is what made him so dead and emotionless.'
"Kaya ...what's wrong?"He asked, no emotion showing in his eyes.
"You're what's wrong!" She yelled. "The only emotions you show are pain and loneline. I haven't seen you happy since you've created the Rare Hunters."
"Kaya...I guess that's what happens when you live in the darkness for so long..."
"Then stop! I wanna live with the care-free Malik I knew when we were little!"
"But..."
"No buts, Malik. I'm sick of it!" She yelled, disgusted by her brother's ignorance.
"Okay, I will...You win.' He said smiling for the first time in three months.
"Thanks." She said as she lightly hugged him minding his injuries.
"I really must look horrible..." Malik said, as he looked away from her.
"Get away from him you slut!" A female voice yelled.
"Oh no..." Malik said in despair.
