This entire chapter, previously called 'Arin', has been redone and is completely in Arin's POV.
I walked around the camp searching for Anya. Joyla has been gone for a few days now and I was beginning to worry.
I had finally opened up. I had finally let someone into my heart and now she was gone. She vanished.
I knew the Sky People had something to do with her disappearance. Joyla was too smart to get caught up with a rival clan. The Sky People, however, were uncharted territory.
My gaze finally landed on Anya. She was having a discussion with other members of our clan. I walked over to them and placed my hand on Anya's shoulder.
She turned around.
"We need to talk." I said. Anya nodded her head and excused herself from her company.
We walked towards the back of the camp where not that many people were.
"We need to find Joyla." I said as we came to a stop.
Anya practically scoffed.
"That's what you wanted to talk about, Arin? Joyla is a warrior. I'm sure she's fine." Anya said. She started to walk away but I blocked her path.
"She could be hurt. Maybe the Sky People have taken her as a prisoner. She's one of us, we can't let that go unpunished."
"You're drawing conclusions. If you are asking me to assemble some of our best warriors to go after her, I won't do it. I will not risk the lives of many for the life of one girl." Anya stated.
She tried to leave but I blocked her path once again.
"She's not just some girl. You've known her since she was a child. How can you not care?" I asked.
Anya didn't say anything as she walked around me and left. I angrily walked away and to the home I shared with my sister. She wasn't home. She left to be with Kaisher hours ago.
Whatever she was up to wasn't any of my business, but that didn't mean I didn't worry at times.
I dropped down to the floor and stared at my hands, deep in thought.
I wasn't in love with Joyla. But I cared about her enough to not just stand here wondering if she was okay or not.
I sighed and grabbed my spear from the back of the room.
I was going to look for her.
AN: I was editing the story and thought of how much more interesting this chapter would be if it was in Arin's POV, hence me redoing the whole thing.
I hope you like it better than the original one :)
