DRAXI'S POV
" Wow, that was one of the most amazing afternoons I've ever had!" Lexi confessed as she lied on her bed, her face flushed and excited. I liked seeing her happy but what happened today was wrong, even if *picture of Near's face when I kissed him pops into my head*, I wish it wasn't.
"We can't be doing that anymore..." I say softly from my posistion against the wall, looking out the window at the setting sun.
Lexi sat up, "Sis....what do you mean?"
I look at her for second before turning away, "Remember who we are. We are Meli and Kyra Kusomai. We are fugitives and princesses. We are the last guardians of the portals to the realms to the land of the shinigami, the land of humans, and the land of spirits, and the land of the dead. We are the only surviving descendents of the first guardians and so we have to live. The presidents and royalty of the human world know about the portals and are trying to take control of them so that they can rule the earth...and the universe. They already caused our aunt to kill herself in order to save us and what about the murder our cousins. They found us and took our loved ones to cause us to feel miserable, so we would be forced to save them. They almost took you. We can't love anyone. NOT NOW, NOT UNTIL WE FIGURE OUT A WAY TO KEEP OURSELVES...AND OTHERS SAFE."
She looked heart broken, but I saw understanding in her eyes. "We told L coming here was a bad idea because we knew we would love it here. I can call this place home without even thinking about. I also love the guys," she pauses, "love them alot. Because of that I'm going to keep them safe."She blinks back tears.
"It was a bad idea coming here," I say, "but I don't regret it. We found love, now we have to lose it." I sigh and walk to the bed. I climb on and Lexi leans into me and starts sobbing again.
"What," she sobs, "do you have in mind?"
I sigh again and start my explanation, "Well, the guys hate Linda so, why don't we act like Linda, but even worse than her. They'll hate us and if we act worse than her they'll hate us more and quicker and we beat Linda at her own game."
I feel Lexi stop crying and ponder the thought. She nods and gets up. She walks to her closet and throws an outfit into my hands. "I know you have some prep outfits but yours were for the geek persona, those are cooler."
She doesn't turn from her closet and so I get up. I turn her around,hug her and walk out of her room. As I walk out of her room I think:And I loved him too. This is for his own safety. He has to hate me. He has too, even if I love him...even if I would rather die myself, I can't leave him, Lexi and the portals. Why us?!?
As I walk into my room the sun completely sets. So it's twilight once more. I sit on the floor and break down crying.
