Ben observed as Latona looked at Tara. "Well, I was sitting on my bed, reading a book, and there was a loud pounding at the door. Next thing I know, I hear my parents....I'm sorry.." She burst into tears, obviously troubled by the memory.

After her moment was done, she looked up again. " My parents started....screaming and then...two loud bangs. Then I hear him stomping up the stairs, and my door bursts open. He was muscular, and he grabbed me and put a hand around my mouth. He....hit me in the back of the head and I blacked out. I then woke up at an abandoned mine. I managed to escape when lightning hit the man. From the looks of it though...he wasn't dead." She started crying again.

Ben walked up to her and gave her a hug. This was a soft side, that even Ben didn't know he had. Maybe, he just couldn't stand seeing someone cry. "There, there. It's okay. My parents are dead, I know how you feel.

Latona looked at Ben. "You...do? Thank you, I feel better now." She then looked at David. "So? Whats your story?"
