When Zenia woke up she seen Xavior staring at her.

"I'm sorry." He spoke up. His bright blue eyes suffocating her.

"For what?" Zenia looked away from the eyes boring into her.

"For not getting there quicker. For almost letting him have you." His voice broke off.

"You are not to blame." She said sitting up and rubbing her temples.

"Your head hurt?" He asked noticing the movement. Positioning himself behind her he began to rub her shoulders.

"No, but that feels good don't stop." A small chuckle escaped his mouth. Placing a small kiss on her shoulder he continued to rub her shoulders and neck.

After a few minutes Zenia got up stretching.

"Thank you, but I would like a shower." He nodded getting up and leading her into bathroom.

"This is hot and this is cold." Showing her which nozzle was which.

After he left Zenia hopped into the shower. This she could get used to. This side of Xavior. The caring compassionate one. Who knows how long this would last. She just can't keep up with the rollercoaster.

Letting the water beat her red. Letting it burn her soul. She finally got out wrapping the white fluffy towel around her. Walking out to Xavior sitting on his bed rubbing his face.

"Are you okay?" She asked. Xavior looked up to her. Something clearly written on his face. As if contemplating if it is okay for her to know.

"Please tell me." She said as she came to sit next to him. Instead of telling her he brushed her off while standing.

"Not now." He said as he walked out the room. Leaving her to her own disdain.

"What the fuck?" She whispered out. Kaylea came in 3 minutes later holding a pair clothes for Zenia.

"Here." She said holding them out to Zenia.

"Thank you." Zenia grabbed them from her hand. Just as Kaylea sat on Xavior's bed.

"Look I want to apologize. I haven't been around enough. I'm sorry I freaked out on you." Kaylea said as she leaned back on her hands.

"It's fine." Zenia said smiling earning a warm smile back.

"So I was hoping if you didn't hate me. Maybe we could talk Xavior into dropping us and letting us go shopping." I turned to her as she said it.

"Shopping?"

"Yeah as in back on earth." Kaylea said nodding her head with a bright smile.

"How?"

"With money? How else?"

"You guys are aliens." I whispered earning a chuckle.

"Yes with Alien's comes alien brains." She said poking her head laughing and continue. "Which means making a sizeable transfer into an account and being rich duurrr." She said it in the most dumb downed way to me.

"Whatever but sure yeah lets go. Now turn away please I would like to get dressed."

"I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS!!" I screamed as my body was rushing to the earth. Fuck what did I sign up for.

A voice clicked over through my helmet.

"It's okay. The control center can take over for you. See that red button on your left hand. Click that you will hear a beep and then control center saying they are taking over auto pilot."

"Okay." I whispered yelled out as I free fell to the ground. Kaylea a good two hundred feet below me. I forced my right arm to go to my left pushing through the wind like my life depended on it. It kind of did.

My right hand met the button on the left hitting the small red button. Nothing happened.

"Kaylea? It didn't beep."

"Hit it again."

Hitting it again I looked down the ground coming closer into view. Nothing happened. Panic began to set in.

"Kaylea it isn't working!" I cried out. Kaylea still a good two hundred feet below me began to slowly float closer or maybe stopped falling. I wasn't sure as panic hit me fast. I am going to die. My suit red 500 feet until ground. Red lights flashing on my face as kaylea gripped onto me. We both began falling spinning around.

"Control center!" She was screaming through her helmet and I could hear everything. My heart rate slowed. The whole world slowed. Adrenaline kicking in. The fear of death subsided it is what it is. My mind repeated over and over again. It has been one thing after the next with these aliens and now it's my death. I will greet it with open arms. If I had a choice I would rather die in my sleep but you don't get to pick and choose your death.

300 feet the red lights flashed. Kaylea's screaming continued as if no one was listening on the other side.

"FFUCCKK!!" She screamed. Flipping her body so she was under me. I could see her face. The look of I'm sorry on her face was enough to know what she was doing.

"Kaylea no! Just let me go!"

Kaylea smiled as she commanded her suit to do something. The falling slowed down but not enough.

200 feet

"Kaylea you're going to die! Please let go!" I cried out as sadness crossed her face.

"It will be okay." She screamed back at me.

100 feet

"Kaylea!!!!" I screamed right as we hit a tree. A rock the ground my body on hers as we were flipped and thrown about. Sliding to a halt. Grass and dirt surrounded our bodies like a disease. My body throbbed. Movement would not be my friend at this moment. If I could ever move again I had to. I had to get off of Kaylea. Who was unmoving underneath me.

"Kaylea?" My voice broke crying out for her. My body on fire as I tried to move off her.

"Kaylea? Please move." My body rolled to the ground not even an inch from her. As a tunnel of darkness started to surround me like a welcome. My hand trying to find Kaylea's unmoving one.

"I'm sorry Kaylea." I whispered right as the darkness took me. Welcoming. I never imagined my death but I wish it was when I was older. Have babies watch them grow something other than this. I didn't see the pearly gates. I also didn't see the gate to hell all I saw was a never ending void of darkness.
