Chapter 15: Forgotten Thing

Jin's POV

I can smell burning plants.
I can smell burning woods.
I can smell burning flesh of living beings.

I hear them whispers.
I hear them cries and plead.
I hear them shout help and curse.

I see my neighbors burning.
I see my friends being slaved.
I see my family being killed.
I see my mother's last smile.

As the sword fall down her head.
As her head fall down to the ground.
The smile still remains in her face.
An erasable smile with her eyes shut.

The sweetest smile that will make you calm.
But that smile is her last message to us.
A message that made us lost our minds.
A message that says, goodbye.

Voices of cries was heard.
All men and women stood up from the ground.
All men and women glared at the murderer.
Shouts of anger and curse rang wildly.

Sounds of groans and screams are everywhere.
Sounds of swords clashing are ringing.
Sounds of blood splashing are heard.
Sounds of heavy bodies falling are heard.

They killed some of us.
We killed some of theirs.
We fought against each other.
But we still got defeated.

We survivors didn't get free.
They put colars and chains on us.
They locked us in a cage.
We survivors became slaves.

Some of us have escaped.
Some of us are caught back.
Some of us became free.
Some of us still chained.

They sold us like a toys.
They played us like toys.
They tortured us like toys.
They killed us... like toys.

I woke up, i look around and see where am I, it is still dark, then I remembered that I was already bought and was on my master's bed. I look at the sofa and saw my master there sleeping. I walked towards him with the blanket in my hands. I covered my master with the blanket to make sure he was not cold.

I went towards the balcony of the room, I opened the balcony door and entered. The cold breeze of the night rush pass me, I turned around to close the balcony door. I walked towards the railings of the balcony and look at the view.

I feel the cold air rushing pass me. 'So this is the feeling of being freed.' I said to myself.

'Is this the feeling that the escapees felt? Or it's just me who feel so... empty.'

I just stared at nowhere, waiting for something to arrive. Waiting for something that I liked very much since when I was a child. Waiting for something that I already forgotten, something that me and my family was always waiting for it to rise.

Then in the sky started to lit up with an orange hue. 'Is this the one that I was waiting for? What is this forgotten thing called again?' I asked myself.

Suddenly a warm coat was wrapped around my shoulders. "Are you waiting for the sunrise."

'Right, it was called sunrise.'

I turned around to see my master who was standing behind me. "Brother?"

"Did you wake up early just to watch the sunrise?"
