I decide to go to the waterfalls again because the Dragon clan might have another person being held there.
Maybe Lilys still alive
No that's a childish thought she was taken months ago and we haven't heard about her since. I can still hope though. As I walk towards the waterfall I see familiar boots walking on the trail,
"Jacob! I haven't seen you in two months. Where were you?" I say as I leap up into his arms.
" I'm so sorry I was chosen to be in the battle so I couldn't risk meeting you."
"I thought you were dead. I was so worried." I can't hold back any longer I lean in and he kisses me. I stay there for a while then we slowly separate.
"Jacob, I have terrible news, the Dragon clan has taken Lily." I say through watering eyes. He stands still for a moment processing what I just said.
"What's worse is I think they've killed her." Now I am truly balling.
"Marigold, I-I don't know what to say, I'm sorry."
"You don't have to apologize it was the Dragon clan that did this, not you." I am still heartbroken now even though it has been a while since she was taken.
"I have to go Marigold I'm sorry,"
"No please don't go, I need you." I grab his arm and keep begging,
"NO Marigold I don't have time for this." He yanks his arm free and storms of. I fall to the ground, and start to cry. I've been crying more now that the war has gotten worse. I think it's a great way to express my feelings to the world.
It's getting dark, I should head home
I head home thinking about what just happened. Jacob yelled at me, why do I feel like the war has already taken him away?

As I trudge out of the woods I see more people gathering around the box, there are no children here this time.
Maybe we've gotten more civilized
I walk up to see who's in there,
Never mind
Up in the box is a CHILD who looks to be five years old! Now this time we've gone to far. I storm up onto the platform and yell,
"This is uncivilized, I can't believe we think the Dragon clan is evil! This is exactly what we are trying to stop! It will not help the cause to become evil ourselves! Imagine this is happening to your child! Would you want to stop it?!" A few murmurs turn into yells as we open the box and take her out.
"Maybe some of us are still civilized," then I see the executioner walk towards me glaring.
Oh no
He gets so closed I feel his breath down my back.
"One time" he says menacingly then walks away. Thank God that didn't escalate anymore.
"Can I talk to you, in private?" My father practically spits out the words then grabs my arm and pulls me away from the crowd.
Mayday mayday we are going down I repeat we are going down!
This cannot be good.
