"Sometimes it's just darkness," Aria said, staring at the dirt floor, her hands still upturned but no longer claiming her attention. "Sometimes I can remember bits and pieces; but when it's of Daniel...everything's crystal clear." She swiped away dirt in her eye. "Everything is past promises, isn't it, Rowan? Everything's past promises. We can only hope that things will end up okay; that we can hurt the Government, blow up their stupid things, make them think we're a threat. And even that's hopeless. They have resources we can't wish for, things we can never replenish--but they can. They can rebuild, they can bomb more rebellious cities, they can design more weapons to use against KQP members. We're past promises, but they've got more than promises, they've got flesh-and-blood things that are true and cannot be broken. And even if they are broken, they can be fixed or replaced. They've got more than we can dream of." She clenched her hands together. "I only wish..." she trailed off. "I only wish that I could make them pay for all the little kids who have died for this. For Daniel...for everybody. Don't you have somebody you want to help? The memory of someone that you want to destroy the Government for?"

(Grrr!) (...wait....wait...NOW Look at the picture!!!)
"Stephen..." Rowan murmured almost inaudibly, her eyes unfocussed as if she were hypnotized for a moment by the mere thought of him, " Stephen." She repeated, shaking her head and with it shaking the dazed look off her face. "If for anyone it would be him...I don't even know if he's dead or not. One day he just disappeared, promising to return, although I haven't seen or heard from him since." Rowan sighed, wiping an imaginary dirt speck from a tearful eye. Forget him! Forget him NOW!!! He's dead, and if hes not then he has forgotten about you. Move on, just as he has. Crying is only for the weak, especially crying over a guy who doesn't even care. Her mind scolded her, told her to do otherwise. "I'm sorry." Rowan said, realizing shed been thinking to herself for a few moments, " I guess I still wish he were here at my side. He'd be a really great help here at the KQP."

"I've heard people say that revenge is the deciding factor," Aria said. "That whether your intentions are good or bad, you never really put so much of yourself into it as you would if revenge was your goal. I guess that's why I'm such a damn big part of this group." She stood up, sighing. "Sorry. Come on, I haven't heard any screams or bombs for the past ten minutes, we should check the tunnel out." She walked over to the door, opening it cautiously, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, I don't hear anything or see anything, but considering it's pitch black--" she walked into it hesitantly, then a small smile lit her face. "Nope, nothing. We might be able to move back in at dawn, after the kiddies get a little sleep."

Aria slowed her walk. She reached a bench and sat, crossing her ankles almost impatiently. "I ran away when I was little," she said in superspeed talk--the kind that signaled that she hated the subject, "and I met Daniel two weeks later. We teamed up. We were each other's family--we took care of each other. We found other kids, malnourished, dying. One little girl made us decide it all--she was about six, covered in lice and dirt and mud. She was clinging to her brother, telling him to wake up. He'd been dead for about three days. Maggots were in her hair. "I guess that just did it. Daniel and I raised those kids, took them in, trained them to take vengeance against the people who'd taken so much from them. And I hated that, but those children wanted to help so much... "Then Daniel died. And I started raising them myself. The girl with maggots in her hair--Maggie, we all called her," she laughed, "--died in a bomb raid against us. She didn't get in the safehouse in time. I took some time off of KQP, left John in charge. I came back a few months later, ready to be in charge again. It's a burden some have to bear." She laughed, shrugging her shoulders, and looked up. "Majorly depressing, huh?"
((Sorry this post is so short--I had a longer one, but it decided to delete itself just as I posted it!!!! crying ))
