I fell to my sleeping bag. My body was aching badly from all the training Kabuto forced on me. I panted and it made my throat hurt to take in the air. All Kabuto gave me for nutrition was the green juice, which was starting to make me sick.

Savannah, Luke, Larry, Nick, and Amoy sat down near me, oblivious to Time and Nature standing behind them. I could hear Bás grumbling in my head, making it hurt. My heart was bumping loudly against my chest. God kill me.

"I think you should send him back to Traperio!" Savannah spat. "By the look of things he's pushing you too hard!"

"It's Trapario and I'm not sending him back!" I shot back, too hurt to look up at her. "He's trying to help me get stronger! Without him, Bás might take over and I won't just kill Natas! I'll everyone! Then where'd I be!? I'd be all alone in this world responsible for killing the last of mankind!"

"What if he exhausts you death!?" Savannah yelled.

"He can't do that!" I shot. "Trapario needs me just as much as Earth and he knows that!"

"Alright, fine!" Savannah crossed her arms and looked away in spite. Like I give a damn. I was doing this for her and everyone else. It's time we all got a taste of reality! Except Nick and Amoy. They tasted reality along time ago.

I turned away from them all. I wanted everything to go back to the way it was. Where I'd wake up in the morning, get dressed, eat breakfast, get my stuff together, take my dog outside, go to school, daydream during classes, talk to my friends, go home, watch TV, or work. Then go to college, fall in love, find a place of my own, raise a family, and die happy.

It was all plucked away from me in just a few seconds of my life. I wanted it back. My mom, my dad, my dog, my life! It wasn't the best life, but it was my life! I had issues yes, but I looked past them and saw the best life had given me! A house, money, strength to go to school everyday and get past the horrible things people would say or do, same with the world around me. Why couldn't the world do the same? Was the all the hate in this world the reason why this was happening? Or was it all my fault.

I put my hand to my chest and curled up in a ball. My heart ached. That's when I went numb. Were these Kine's feelings? If that was the case, then how did I see my world? Who was I? Who was Kylen Erin Dooley before all this? Or was I always Kine!?

I held back my scream that was building up in my chest. How could I live like this!? I wanted to help Kine, I really did, but I wanted my own feelings. Was that what Kine wanted too? Confusion hurt my chest even more. I don't even know what's real anymore! I was surrounded by my friends and two invisible strangers, but I never felt more alone than I ever was!

"Kylen?" I looked over my shoulder to see Larry looking down at me. Everyone else was leaning on the wall, their heads on each other's shoulders, fast asleep. "You're... You're crying."

I quickly put my hands to my face, moving my glasses out of the way and felt the wet tears on my face. I wipped them away and sniffed back the ones that were trying to escape.

"I just want to go home..." I mumbled.

He looked down at me sympathetically. "You're not the only one..." he whispered, "I miss my mom and little sister... They're the most important women in my life... That's why I'm glad I met you... You're probably the only person I have, who can bring them back to me."

I sat up and used my staff to conjure up a handkerchief and give it to the blonde boy, who gratefully took it. "I'll do what I can," I assured him, putting my hand on his shoulder, "for you and everyone here... I won't quit on you guys... Even if it kills me..."
