Receiving A Little Comfort

Marah looked over at Kapri, she was sleeping. Marah got out of bed and checked on her uncle, he also was sleeping. Some of the generals were still awake, but they didn't pay her any mind. She teleported down to Dustin and hers' bench. She had gone here a lot after she had betrayed him, it reminded her of simpler times. Those couple of times when it was just her and Dustin it felt like they were the only two around, and anything could be done. However afterwards she realized that he was good, she was bad.

She remembered hearing a story one of the times when she was done on Earth with Kapri, it was Romeo and Juliet. It was really sweet and romantic. However they both died in the end. That would have been her and Dustin. She couldn't have that happen. So, when Uncle, Kapri and Beevil came up with the idea to trick Dustin, she went along. Although it really hurt doing so. He had tears in his eyes and she wanted to cry too, but if she did then all would be lost.

She looked around at the scenery the moon was out, and it felt like it was shining down on this spot as if to say something. It had been two weeks since her and Dustin had kissed. It was an amazing kiss. She loved it, but it wasn't right. He was her enemy and she just had to live with that. Although she wouldn't mind kissing him again which was why she had come down here 8 different times in the past week.

She had been there for about an hour when she heard someone coming towards the bench. She turned around and there he was. Dustin smiled at her which made her heart go wild.

"What are you doing here?'

Marah looked down at her hands. "I was…I just wanted to…what are you doing here?"

This time Dustin looked away. "To think." He sat down next to her and then said, "I didn't think you'd be here."

"I can leave if you want."

"No, that's okay. I can."

"No, don't. Please. I like having some company."

Dustin just nodded and stared at his hands. They sat in silence for about half an hour. Marah wanted to say something, but every time she got the nerve to say anything, she would look at him and forget what she was going to say. She loved the way she felt when she was around him. He made her feel so special unlike the way she felt on the ship. She wondered if Dustin knew that.

Dustin stood up to leave and Marah grabbed onto his hand. "Where are you going?"

Dustin looked down at the hands and then at Marah, "Well I was planning on going home, but…aren't you?"

"No, not yet." She smiled because he hadn't moved his hand away and in fact he was holding it as he sat back down. After a couple of minutes Marah spoke up again in a soft voice, "Dustin, I'm sorry." Startled Dustin looked at Marah confused. "For…" Marah looked at the ground ashamed, "Ummm…"

Marah fell silent again not sure how to tell Dustin, the only one who trusted her, why she had betrayed him. Dustin stayed silent too. They both just sat there in a comforting silence until the sun peaked over the ridge. At once they both stood up letting go of the other's hand. "I…uh…school, you know." Dustin stuttered out while scratching his head.

"Yeah. Not school, you know…stuff." Marah smiled at him and he smiled back before they both took off. Marah made it into her bed before Kapri or Uncle woke keeping in her mind how good it felt to have Dustin's hand intertwined with hers.
