"Now then," Triskix continued. "Kyxsha is still missing with Yanii, and the Leader has informed me that if she does not return she must be dealt with as Tamex was."
"What happened to Tamex?" I asked shakily looking up at Triskix.
"He left the Organization and paid the price," Triskix answered simply.
"Death," Lexian said calmly looking up to Triskix. "To leave the organization is the same as being a traitor."
"D-death...." I hear Aidex's voice whimper up from were she sat.
A soft familiar noise was heard under my chair, looking down I saw that Aidex was beginning to shake and cry. I could feel a pain where my heart should be and quickly I summoned Aidex up to my lap. Hugging her I made my voice as quite and as soothing as I could, and began to try to calm the young girl down.
"So the waves are completely mine again," Xemmsur commented, next to me. I knew that those words she said were more to herself then anything else. She enjoyed having another person that can manipulate water, and he reminded her of Demy.
"Aidex..... it's all right.... it's all going to be fine," I tried getting threw to the small child to calm her down, as I tried figuring out what was going on. This wasn’t Triskix; he doesn’t kill just because someone told him too. He never did it for Xemnas and he wouldn’t do it for this leader, right?
My vision became a little blurry but I wouldn’t let myself cry, not now. Raising my head to Triskix I looked him in the eye, as if to ask ‘is this true’. Ignoring me he simply looked away like this was just a nuisance to his order and continued on with the meeting.
Aidex moved in my lap and softly cried, "No....no I don't want death. Don't make me kill. Don't...."
I knew that if I had a heart it would brake with this child’s sorrow filled words. Triskix voice barley caught my ears as he went on about the missing elite’s, but all I cared about right now was this child.
She has gone threw so much, both of them have, and not just when they were with Minx. It is hard for children to be nobodies, yes they can have a stronger will then adults, but the world is so much harder on them. And it is so easy for that sadness to turn to revenge in the name of justice which only cause hatred, and for them to turn bitter. All alone on the streets and no one to watch out for you, everyone against you because you are different. You are hated because of something you never wanted.
“Shh… Aidex it will be okay. I wish I could promise you what you want… I wish I could say that I will protect you from everything, but I will not lie to you. I have found that nothing last forever. But I can promise you this… as long as I am here… nothing will happen to you or your friend, and you always have a choice. Just because we fight doesn’t mean that you have to kill, I have found that out. But don’t think wrongly of Triskix… he always has a meaning behind the things he does, Aidex.”
'Even if I strongly disapprove of the actions he takes.'
“Don’t worry yourself with things that you can’t control, that is my job. Your job is only to become strong to help the ones you care for. ‘Live for today and look forward to tomorrow, and also don't forget to smile,’ my master taught me that is what to life by, and now I’m tell you to life by that. I haven’t kept to that myself, but I hope to now.” I said whispering in calming tones to the child, I didn’t want her to worry and be sad anymore.
Glancing over to RaXi I saw that she too had Xyta up by her, and before I knew it she turned and looked straight at me. Smiling at her I looked back down to the child on my lap, I knew that later I would have to ask RaXi or Xemmsur what I had missed. Then maybe we could talk about what they think of this. Everything is getting so tense around here and sooner or later someone will brake, and I think the only war we would have to worry about around here is a Civil War.
Pulling Aidex’s long black hair back behind her ear I gently hugged her and smoothed out the rest of her hair. I watched as her sad blue eyes somewhat began to close, worn out from everything that happened. Only then I allowed myself to go back to the meeting at hand.

Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart tell me why are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn out...
