Izogie walked to Nanisca's chambers and knocked softly before entering. She walked in to find her sitting up waiting on her.

"I was waiting for you, you have questions eh?"

Izogie nodded slowly, " He kept asking about Solana, saying she would finally be his. What was he talking about?"

Nanisca sighed before filling her in, " He captured her when we were younger, made her his wife. He tortured, beat, and raped her. He used her as a war dog sometimes. Mahvee wasn't always that ruthless, he helped build that. When she escaped him, she came back home. He tracked her and she had to leave our home, it's why I haven't seen her in years."

Izogie nodded in understanding. She stood there taking in the information before returning back to her home. She entered her room to find Solana in the same spot. She softly smiled to herself before going to the bathroom. She turned on the shower and slowly slipped in. As the hot water ran down her skin, she took the time to relax and release the emotions shes felt these past months. She cried and cried until she couldn't anymore. She cleaned up and headed back out. As she slipped on a tank top and boxers she turned around to be met with solana standing in the doorway.

"What are you doing up?"

"Nothing, my love. I just needed a shower," Izogie spoke softly before grabbing her waist, "Now what are you doing up?"

"I rolled over and you weren't there."

Izogie chuckled before softly kissing her nose and then her lips, pulling her close she wrapped her arms around her waist burying her face into her neck.

"You missed me?" she whispered, kissing trails down her neck.

"I always do." Solana responded softly grabbing her head.

"Good."

Izogie kissed her slowly moving her hands underneath her thighs, lifting her up as her legs wrapped around her waist. Izogie carried them into the room and laid in bed with Solana on top of her. Solana sat up staring at Izogie while she traced circles on her thighs.

"Are you okay, Izogie?"

Izogie took a second before responding. Was she okay? They tortured her, yes. But, she was a warrior. There was nothing she wasn't used to.

"I am managing. I don't know if I am okay. I just need a couple days to readjust."

Solana nodded lying back down while Izogie rubbed her back. She soon fell asleep while Izogie watched her sleep. She missed her, longed for her, and her body missed being near her. She slowly let sleep over take her.

The next morning the women got ready for training as normal. Solana came before Izogie and got to work. Izogie on the other hand took a beat longer than her. Partially because she didnt know how the other women would react. Was she still an amazing warrior, feared, ruthless? Before the thoughts could continue she made her way to the training area.

Women whispered and pointed, while she held her head high as if she was never gone. For now, she would only watch and see how the women are doing. It was weird for her though, she was used to being in the midst of action and now she could only watch.

She did enjoy watching Solana train. She had to admit, Solana had gotten thicker during her time away and she was more than pleased by it.

She chuckled as Amenza called Nawi and Solana to fight. She watched as Nawi slowly made her way to the center as Solana stood prepared. As the fight started Nawi tried to dodge hits but failed miserably. In the end, Solana had her laid out on the ground while everyone cheered excitedly.

The women kept training until the sun fell and everyone went their own ways. She met Solana in the kitchen cooking some dinner. She crept behind her kissing her neck before going upstairs to shower. After her shower she was rummaging the drawers for her bracelet when she found an old razor with dried blood on it. She quickly slipped on a shirt and shorts, making her way back downstairs.

"Hey, Izo- what are you doing?"

Izogie walked over to her, grabbing her arms and looked at wrists.

"My love, what happened?" Izogie asked softly.

Solana's eyes watered as she looked down.

"It's nothing-"

"Tell me, love. Don't make me ask again."

Solana sighed and wiped her eyes.

"Well-"
