"Darren," Kora stopped and turned to face him. "I understand why you are against this, and this is also the reason that I didn't tell you, but I want you to know that…." He interrupted her,
"I am not losing you. I won't lose those I love anymore, not by my hands or anyone else. Never again, Kora," He said, and she smiled.
"I do not want to lose you either, nor do I want to leave your side. Believe it or not, I am selfish too," Gaia said. She placed her head on his chest as she hugged him. "I won't die."
"You are lying, I can feel it," Darren said, but she shook her head, denying the accusation. "It may not all be a lie, but you are hiding something from me. Tell me what it is," he insisted.
This time, she remained still, and he knew he was right. "Kora," he called her name in a pleading tone, but she remained still. It hadn't been long since they got together, but she was willing to leave him because of others.
