Volli- Hey! My heart hurts because some Canadian chick thinks my story, Almost Alone, is crap. I want to let you know that I really love all of you people that take the time to review my stories! (Sniff! It burns)

Spencer watched as Brian stirred slightly. Spencer had been watching him for hours. Brian really hadn't done anything except mummer about something about a doctor.

'I wonder why his subconscious is thinking of a doctor.' It was interesting. Most of his patients called for their family or lover. Brian doesn't really have either. 'He has me.'

Spencer jumped as Brian suddenly sat up.

Glancing at Spencer, Brian's lip started to tremble. Spencer reached out to comfort him but Brian beat him to it.

Grabbing Spencer's arm he started to cry saying. "I'm so sorry Spencer! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything. I was worried! Why did you leave? Are you okay? Do you want me to get anything for you?" The questions spilled from his mouth. He couldn't stop he was too concerned.

Brian cried harder at his concern.

"Spencer what will I be when I get older?" Brian asked suddenly.

"Brian you will be whatever you want!" Spencer said shocked at the random question. "Why?"

Brian looked him in the eye, green eyes burring into blue ones.

"Do you really care?" Brian sounded urgent.

"Yes I really do care. Do think I wouldn't?" Spencer said still shock.

Brian told him everything. About Mr. Loght, about his dream to be a doctor, about the punishments he has had to go though and about his life.

Spencer sat there and listened. His heart hurt every time Brian choked back a sob.

"Spencer the reason they want me is because years ago I had to memorize pages of information about ancient worlds and the secrets on how they were run. On one of the pages told about an artifact that held the secrets of the world and where it was hidden. Apparently the one who knows the secrets can hold the world in his hands."

Spencer just stared at him.

"Brian I believe you." Spencer laughed at the look Brian gave him.

"You see Brian I read the same papers when I went through the Unit. I even looked for it for a while." Brian's eye got wider as he took in what Spencer said.

Spencer paused and sighed.

"Brian I found it when I was on a recovery mission, almost 9 years ago" Spencer's eyes became distant. "Brian you have to understand… it was… a huge mistake… I didn't mean to find it." The last part sounded remorseful.

"Spencer what happened?" Brian was worried by Spencer's tone.

"When I found it… I felt weary of my mission partner… and I killed him." Spencer's eyes looked away as if he was hiding something.

"Spen-," Brian was cut off as Spencer quickly spoke

"Brian it really doesn't matter what matters is if you are okay?"

"I'm fine." Brian wanted to press but he really didn't want Spencer to feel uncomfortable.

"Brian I think you should rest some more" Brian couldn't help but raise an eye brow. "Brian listen when you almost freeze and trust me I know from experience it hurts!" Spencer paused as Brian ran a check over himself.

Brian realized for the first time his feet hurt!

Spencer smiled in empathy as he read Brian's expression. "You lie down and rest while I go get you a pain killer."

Brian sighed and laid down starting to feel his nerves burn.

Volli-Really guys sorry it is so short! And now a 'sneak' peek to my story Almost Alone that I posted for Christmas!

Softly he sang a sorrowful tune. It betrayed feelings of confusion, hurt, fear, being trapped, and loss. It called emotions from every living thing. The song was like the howls he called with the wolf. It called for help, for company. He steadily grew louder until all life was filled with his call.

He stopped a moment to listen. A slightly joyful song reached his hears. It was the bird with white feathers. It was calling to him, telling him that he had friends and companions that would be with him.

Howls that were always changing in length seamed to entwine themselves around the song.

Kai smiled at the sound he knew that the creatures of the night would join him this one so they could have their own calibration.

Kai always felt close to the hunters of the night he could never tell why.

Moments later he watched as the bird, fox, and the wolf enter the yard.

He got onto the windowsill and jumped the three stories to the ground. He landed perfectly on his feet.
