[10.1] Distance
Kale woke up alone and screamed. Trever wasn't there next to him. He didn't even feel him leave. But that was normal. Trever woke up earlier than him to check on the animals. He liked the animals more than Kale did. But this time it was different.
Trever wasn't there. On the farm. On the planet. He could barely sense him. Away gone. Far. He didn't know where. Trever hid it from him.
"Kale!" his mother cried, rushing into the room. Naldin just behind her. "What's wrong?" She sat on the bed and put her arms around him. He leaned into her, sobbing, clutching at her.
"He's gone, he's gone, he's gone," he repeated over and over again. "Gone, gone, gone."
Talia ran her hand through his hair, like she did to scare away nightmares when Kale was a child. "Trever?" Though Kale knew she knew that even before she said it. Who else would it be? Their father had died. Who else would it be? "Where did he go Kale?"
"I don't know! He's hiding." He shuddered, clutching tighter to her like a life line.
"Hiding? Why would he be hiding?"
"I don't know!" Kale wailed again. His mother made shushing noises, rocking him.
"Shh...you'll find him again. You will."
"When?"
"I don't know. But you will. You two can't be apart long. You never are," she said. "You'll find him soon enough."
Kale curled up away from her, even though she was right, it still hurt. Like he had been stretched far in half.
