Chapter Three: In My Heart

X was walking around HQ late that night. He knew he should be resting, but the events from the day just kept running circles in his head. What Felsen had said, his own reactions, and ever that little chip. It just wouldn't let him rest.

Unknowingly his steps had taken him down one set of rooms typically used for visitors and the few non-hunters on the base. One door was slightly ajar, and through it he heard soft crying, and voices.

"Shh, shh." It was Albastru's voice. "Please, stop."

"Everything will be okay," Listina's voice followed. But the crying didn't stop.

"I know it hurts, even still," Albastru's soothed, "but you can't keep doing this to yourself."

"I - I - " came a gasping reply, seeminggly from Felsen. X heard the sound of shifting material, like someone sitting down on a bed.

"C'mon." There was a pause after Albastru spoke, and then X heard his voice again, very soft and gentle, singing.

"Come, stop your crying, it will be all right
Just take my hand, hold it tight
I will protect you from, all around you
I will be here, don't you cry."

Then Listina sang as well.

"For one so small, you seem so strong
My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm
This bond between us, can't be broken
I will be here, don't you cry."

Then, they sang together, as Felsen's weeping began to subside.

"Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on, now and forever more

You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always."

The crying stopped, and the sound of gentle breathing replaced it as Felsen had fallen asleep. There was the sound of more furtive movements, and X, suddenly feeling like an intruder, quickly hurried away.
