A/N Hello again. This chapter will be pretty disappointing, but I've kept you waiting long enough. So here it goes...


Chapter 3- The Brother I Never Had

Tala jump out of the bed as more glass shattered. He quietly walked to the door of his room as silence came from the room beyond. He stood next to the door and listened, his heart beating fast. But what he heard next surprised him. It sounded like a sob, then someone sniffling. It sounded like someone was crying.

Tala opened the door a crack so he could look out into the room. There he saw Kalea sitting on the floor against the couch. He sighed in relief and began to open the door to walk out, but stopped as another sob came from Kalea. He couldn't see her eyes because her bangs were in the way, but he saw the tears fall onto her shaking hands that gripped a white scarf. Why was she crying?

"Kalea?" Tala called as he stepped out.

Kalea froze, her whole body going rigid. Her grip on the scarf tightened.

"Kalea," he called again, worry and concern clear in his voice.

Kalea started to shake her head slowly. "There's nothing wrong Tala. I just…" she sniffed, "I just need to be alone right now."

Tala walked towards where she was sitting on the floor. He looked around the room at the destruction. There was broken glass and shattered vases everywhere. He looked down at Kalea from where he was standing in front of her and shook his head. "You don't need to be alone. You need to be comforted."

Kalea slowly looked up at Tala with tear-filled eyes. A sob escaped her lips as the tears ran down her flushed cheeks. "Tala?"

Tala sat down on the floor next to Kalea and pulled her into a hug. She cried harder as she buried her face into Tala shirt. Tala rocked her back and forth, making soothing noises and telling her everything was all right. She wept and wept for what seemed like forever, but Tala was patient.

Soon Kalea's sobs quieted until it was just sniffling. When she stopped sniffling, and when Tala heard her breathing change and her whole body relax he knew she was asleep. He stopped rocking her and slowly stood up with her in his arms. He silently looked at the room again then walked back to his room, and laid her on his bed. He silently started to the door but was stopped by someone calling his name.

"Tala." Kalea called softly as he turned to leave. He just looked back at her in question. She smiled sleepily, "Thank you…your like…the brother I never…had…" Then she was asleep again.

Tala smiled. 'Get some sleep…little sis,' he thought as he walked out. 'Yeah, she's the sister I never had.'


A/N Omg that painful. I am soooo sorry at the length of this, but I can't think of anything else to write. I have the same problem with my other sequel of The Bladewreckers. I absolutely despise writers block. This was terrible, and I'm sorry I made you wait so long just to get like a page of my writing. I'm so sorry.
