OCs 2 - the Sequel

Quiet

Liana and Mark hadn't been to the ship lately... Hailey and Kaylee had stayed quiet about it, and so had Robin - but he was always quiet. But the point was, it was as if they'd vanished for the past week...

Liana: Mark, why does this have to happen...? *eyes full of tears as she hugs her big brother tightly*

Mark: *frowns and hugs back, wishing he could make her pain go away* I'm sorry, Ana...

Liana: I feel like it's my fault... *sniffs, a tear running down her cheek*

Mark: It's not your fault you got hurt, Liana. And what followed could've happened eventually anyways...

Liana: I miss things being normal... Baking cookies, seeing Owen, being with my friends...

Mark: I know... I miss it too.

Liana: ...will I ever be able to feel my legs again?

Mark: I really hope so, Ana... *small smile*

Liana: *smiles slightly then frowns* If only I knew how to protect people like I'm supposed to be learning... Dad might have been okay...

Mark: Stop saying that, Liana. I mean it. You were attacked... You can't blame yourself for that.

Liana: *sniffs* Do you think mom blames me?

Mark: Even if she did, she shouldn't. You were attacked just like the others around you. Even with magical space wizard powers, you probably couldn't save everyone. Besides, you're a beginner. I don't blame you... And I wish you didn't either.

Liana: Thanks... *quietly* ...You're the best brother in the world.

Mark: *jokingly* I know.

Liana: *small smile before resting her head on him again, becoming quiet*
