As the weeks passed, the tension between our clans escalated, ending in a confrontation I never anticipated. The inevitable clash came one fateful night—it was ugly and chaotic, each side fighting fiercely, but it was Luka's face I searched for in the crowd.
Amidst the chaos, I spotted him, cornered by a group of Lions. Recklessness overcame me, and without a second thought, I propelled myself into the fray. "Get away from him!" I shouted, my own gang turned to me in shock.
"Are you really defending a Serpent?" one of my brothers spat, disbelief spilling from his lips.
"You don't understand!" I pleaded, finding Luka's terrified eyes locking onto mine. "He's not your enemy. He's mine."
The world turned silent for a moment, tension hanging thickly in the air as both gangs halted mid-fight. My declaration shattered the delicate balance of hatred and protection that ruled our lives. I was thrust into the center of it all—the world I had known wavered beneath my feet.
