"Oh....sorry Mom I didn't know.....that sucks.....maybe Uncle Alex will be the new second..." Delta said softly.

"I... I don't know Delta to tell you the truth..." Alora murmured softly as she thought seeming very worried about Ratchet now. She hadn't wanted him to kill Damen... though she did want to be his... she wanted to be able to love him... though... she knew how much pain this would cause him. She could see clearly how upset Ratchet was and she couldn't do anything... she didn't know what she could do at least.

He shrugged, "okay…" he said frowning.

Reyol wrapped his arms around his mom's neck frowning. 'Don't worry Mommy…'

(ugles... I is stuck... Could you help me?)

((Umm maybe Alora goes to find Ratchet to talk to him alone.))

(OKAY! thx)

Alora sighed as she stood after giving Reyol a hug and kiss on the head. "You guys stay here okay..." she murmured softly as she walked out of the area to go find Ratchet once more... She wanted to find a way to comfurt him and try and talk to him about this... she sighed and started slow into the main area to see if he was there.

Ratchet was hurriedly talking to Mika who was sobbing and pounding her father's chest with weak punches. "I'm sorry..." He said finally not sure what else to say. Mika just shook her head wiping tears out of her eyes glaring at her father.

"That doesn't change anything! It doesn't change anything at all!" Mika said suddenly looking older than she had in months past.

Ratchet just shook his head silently.

Alora stopped when she saw Ratchet and Mika immedeatly feeling horrible that Ratchet had done this for them... Worse then she already felt. She lowered her head and stared down at her long dark navi flaired blue jeans and her short healed, calf high, black leather pointed boots. She loved these boots... They were the only items left after that first day with Ratchet... Even the hint of the thought sent a small chill up her spine. She loved Ratchet... Though those first few weeks she could never foreget... Even though she really wanted to... Like she wants to foreget about Mura... And... *Most of all Calence... The lover that waited till death and still never took her... *

Mika backed away from her father quickly rushing away to her room hurriedly. Ratchet sighed deflated as she left. He looked up at Alora, forcing a small smile.

Alora looked at Ratchet and shook her head knowing he was faking the smile she then looked back down at her feet still feeling awful. If she had just left his room the first time he said to none of this would or could have happened. She knew he was hurting though she didn't know what to say to him other then sorry.

Ratchet sighed going over to her quickly. He pulled her into a tight hug with a sigh, "It's not your fault...." He said softly. "I...should have thought before I acted..."

Alora was rather shocked when she was pulled into a hug... With Ratchet of all people to give her one. He hadn't shown any true feelings for her outside of his room and the dongeon and that was about it. Slowly and rather unsure she pulled her arms around him and leaned her head against his chest quietly still thinking. "Why would you do this just for me?" Alora asked the question again quietly... It was stuck in her thoughts and she couldn't get over it.

Ratchet sighed holding her close. With a sigh ge said, "I had to Alora…the system is flawed ad it had to be fixed." He frowned sighing, "Horrible isn't it?"

Alora listened to Ratchet quietly closing her eyes. She reopened them to look up at Ratchet and nodded softly and quietly with the look of appologies in her eyes. She still felt horible even though he tried to keep telling her it wasn't her falt... She still felt guilty... She then leaned her head back on his chest her eyes closed thinking quietly and just enjoying him holding her so close.

Ratchet kissed her forehead gently. He was content now to just hold her close to him. "dont worry…It's allright everything will be fine…" He said convincingly.

Alora nodded quietly."yes but will you be okay? Will Meka?" she finally asked softly still leand to him and hugging him. She loved him and that was obvious since she deffentantly acted and reacted in the way a lover would.

"I'll manage…we both will…and Mika will either move on or die trying to. It's cruel bit the truth…" He frowned a bit looking down.

Alora looked up at Ratchet worriedly and wished she knew what to say... But she didn't other the appologizing again and she knew he didn't want to hear it. She was worried about him and she was really worried about Mika and hoped she would be okay. She didn't really want to move though if he wanted her to let go she would.

Ratchet sighed holding her close to him with a sigh. "I've done all I've can for now…" He said sighing. He looked at Alora tiredly.

Alora nodded softly as she looked up at Ratchet and his eyes cought hers... His eyes always cought hers. "How about you go and rest some? You look tired..." she said softly hoping he would since he did look worn out.*

He sighed looking at her and nodded softly. "Alright...alright I will..." He said. He paused for a moment looking at her intently. It almost seemed like he was looking for something. After a while he blinked and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead before turning to leave. Heading quickly to his room with a sigh.

Alora sighed softly as she whached Ratchet walk off and went to find her brother who was close to her kids and some of his kids that were playing. After about, at the most, 15 minutes Alora sighed and gave in as she started walking back to Ratchet's room... she just hoped he wasn't too awful upset and that he didn't mind her being in there.

(sorry only thing I could think of :sweat: not much to work with XP )

((XD Alora could just follow him to the room. Him meaning Ratchet.))

(kk fixed it ^^ )

Ratchet was laying on his side in bed curled up with a pillow thinking. He lifted his head looking back at Alora with a soft smile. "Oh....hey...." He said smiling a bit as he rolled over facing her.
