Nokama sank down the wall, dripping from the sudden down pour that had struck Ga-Metru. Her face stained red as she tried, in vainly to hold back her sobs.
She refused to believe that Vakama had deliberately hurt Norik or any of the Rahaga… that the Mask Maker had destroyed the Great Temple… He couldn't have done something so horrible… Not Vakama…
Not the Mask Maker who had become a leader and brother to them all in such a short time, the Fire Toa who had once been so shy and unsure of his own abilities… he just couldn't have done something like this…
She hadn't listened when Matau and Oneua had told her to stay, instead she ran off, heading for the Great Coliseum…
There, unseen by Vakama and all others, she had seen everything that had happened and heard everything Vakama said to Roodaka…
And it had broken every dream she had once held close into tiny shards.
Unable to stay and watch the Toa she loved deeply be touched and spoken too by another woman, Nokama ran into the sudden storm to the one place that she felt safe in.
Ga-Metru.
She didn't need to look where she was going, she knew Ga-Metru better than anyone else and she also knew that no one could have followed her in here, as only a teacher would know the tricks to get inside.
Visorak might have seen her come in to Ga-Metru, but they wouldn't find her in this place…
Here, Nokama could cry without fear of someone seeing or hearing her as she hugged her knees to her chest. "I heard him sing a lullaby… I heard him singing from his heart… When I heard that thought I would die. Because that lullaby is mine…" she sniffled, ignoring the pain in her chest as the rain grew heavier. "I heard him finish with a kiss… I find it so hard to believe… Because his kiss belongs to me…"
How could he…?
How could he let someone like the Queen of the Visorak of all Females, do such things to him…?
How could he…?
Nokama tried not think of what else might have happened while Vakama was away from them, but being a female she knew far too well how easily another female could at times win a male over, ESPECIALY when said male was confused…
Nokama sniffled and shook her head, no longer trying to stop the flowing tears, looking out of the small window to the rain, faintly able to see the outline of the Coliseum and some odd webbings.
"How could an angel break my heart? Why didn't he catch my falling star? I wish I didn't wish so hard… Maybe I wished our love apart? How could an angel break my heart?" She asked the rain, as if it held the answer. And when no answer came she turned away, missing the shadow that had fallen beside the window, drawn by her song.
"Is it her face within his flame…?"
"You're face betrays your pain…"
"Soft eye like flowers in the rain?"
"Hard as the frozen rain."
"He keeps her arm with in his flames..."
"He doesn't want her..."
"And when he sleeps he calls her name."
"He's never called out her name."
"I wonder if she makes him smile…?"
"He'll never make her smile."
"The way he used to smile at me…"
"He only smiles for you."
"I hope she doesn't make him laugh…"
"No one can make her laugh."
"Because his laugh belongs to me!"
"He cries at night for you."
Nokama clung to herself as she began to tremble, hearing the rain getting heavier and more like a flash flood than anything natural, faintly she knew that this was somehow connected to her, but right now she didn't care nor did she realize that whoever was singing with her wasn't one of her brothers.
"How could an angel break my heart?"
"You are his heart…"
"Why won't he catch my falling star?"
"He'll catch your star,"
"I wish I hadn't wished so hard…"
"No one can wish to hard,"
"It seems I've wished our love apart…"
"He'll come to you…"
"How could an angel break my heart?"
"And mend your heart…"
Nokama shuddered and looked towards the sky, tears joining the rain as she continued to cry. "Oh, my soul is dying, it's crying… I'm trying to understand…"
"I know, I know your soul is crying, I know your soul is dying, I know your heart's denying and trying to understand…"
"Please hear me… How could an angel break my heart? Why didn't he catch my falling star? I wish I didn't wish so hard… Maybe I wished our love apart… How could an angel break my heart? How could an angel break my heart?"
"Believe me… You are his heart… he'll catch your falling star… you've never wished to hard… He'll mend your heart…"
"Nokama?!"
"Nokama! Where are ya?!"
"Sister?"
Nokama slowly looked out of the window again in time to see Nuju kick a Visorak aside, Oneua and Matau with him, apparently searching for her.
Slowly, reluctant to leave the safety around her, Nokama made her way out of the school house, not seeing Sidorak stood in the rain a few huts away, watching her and her brothers leave.
