Reji's eyes flashed with anger. "Your brother? That's about as f****ed up as you can get!"

Quidam nodded and wiped her eyes.
"Yea...I-Icouldn't believe that it had happened to me at first, but it did, and I'm here now. Sometimes- I Iw ish I could just kill him and watch him suffer- make him fe-feel what I-I fel-felt." she said, fighting the tears, though it didn't work, because a minute later, she had her face in her hands, and she was crying quietly.
"I- don't-don't kn-kn-know how I cope with it...I-I jus-just cry about it- I g-guess."

"I would try to comfort you, but...you are in a weaker state...and i can't turn off my power. So...sorry." He looked at her...and for the first time in his life, he felt like maybe somebody understood the pain you feel when you are horribly betrayed by a family member. He looked at her crying and he wanted to help, but knew if he got any closer or if he touched her...she would be gone. He hated this. This is why he felt nothing half of the time...he couldn't feel anything. It tore him up inside.

She smiled up at him, her eyes red and her face tear-stained.
"Th-Thanks..I appreciate-it." she said.

He smiled and nodded his head. "No problem. I know how it feels to be betrayed by a family member." He stopped. He had said too much. He hated getting close to people. He looked at her again and then walked to a seat near him and sat down. He laid his head back not wanting to be there anymore. He was softening and he didn't like it. He couldn't be soft...he would get hurt too much.

Quidam watched as Sam walked off to another bench. She anted to foloow but she understood that he just wanted to be alone.
'I wonder...what happened to hm?'

Reji stood silently, all the anger gone out of her. Something awful must have happened to him. But I won't pryy.

His mind raced, but he just wanted to sit there. He tried to clear his mind but nothing. He couldn't open his eyes and look at them again. He wasn't sure he could ever talk to them. A picture of his father popped into his head. His heart beat little faster in anger, but he quickly forced it out of his memory. He wanted to forget, to never remember. They were standing over there...probably watching him. Why couldn't they start talking and forget about him...or ever leave? He couldn't move..he was sure he would loose it if he did.

"We should go..." Quidam said, "I wondr what happened to him. I want to help him, but we shouldn't bother him."

He heard Quidam's voice...Could I tell them...should I tell them? I have never told anyone. I mean...NO, why are you even thinking of telling them. I can't and I won't. He thought finally and hoped that Reji would listen to Quidam and leave.

"Yeah, even I know when I wanna be alone," Reji agreed, glancing at Quidam.

Quidam nodded and got up with Ed, who barked at her pleadingly. She smiled. "Yes Ed, I'll get you something to eat." she said. She took a final glance at Sam
'I think I understand what you went through...What happened to you though?'

Reji grabbed her backpack and lifted out the ravens. They each chose a shoulder, and Reji headed for the door.

Quidam walked beside her and they walked out of the station silently, not exchanging many words.
"Do you feel bad for him too?" Quidam asked Reji.

"Yeah, kinda." Reji frowned. "I really do feel guilty for hurting him. I guess he's been through a lot."

"Yea, I feel the same...I wonder what he went through..." Quidam said, her mind wandring off.
"So...who are the birds?". It was the most pitiful attempt at small talk, but she wanted to take her mind off of Samuel and Ross.

"Oh!" Reji smiled slightly. "The one on the left shoulder is Edu, and his sister is Talim. Their mother was electrocuted, and I found her nest. She had left these two." Talim eyed Quidam curiously while Edu squawked at her. Reji put a finger on his feathered chest to silence him. "He won't hurt you, but he likes to make that noise."

Samuel heard them leave and he slowly opened his eyes. Images of his father and mother had been invading him and he was getting angry. He wanted to hurt someone...he wanted to do something cruel. He looked around for anyone on the subway...a female. He had plans for her...he wanted to torture her...like he had been. He looked around for a little while, but it was getting late, not many were on there...only a couple of drunk bums. He rolled his eyes and laid his head back, keeping his eyes open.

"So what now?" Quidam asked, as her and Reji walked onto the dark, loud streets of New York, near Madison Square Garden. "In a way, I want to go back and see what he's doing...I just have a feeling that he's going to do something dumb.".

Reji's brow furrowed in thought. "You've got a point. People like that - no way to tell what they'll do." She looked back grimly. "Let's just go spy."
