Chapter 1

It had been three days since Sheronica's disappearance and none of the remaining three leaders were able to sit in one place for too long. They were always on the move, trying to figure out what happened. It was really obvious how her disappearance had affected the whole group, especially Izz.

Aieyn walked into the huge space of a room that served as their relaxing space, just next to the kitchen where Sheronica would normally do her job. Everyone turned their head to look at her. Miezza's mouth twitched into what it seemed like a forced smile while Lily simply nodded at her before turning back at Miezza's to continue their conversation in a very low voice. Jyra was nowhere to be found.

Aieyn's eyes roamed through the room, watching everyone silently before her eyes settled on a guy who was sitting on a chair with his eyes staring across of the room, to the kitchen, looking like he wanted to be anywhere but there.

"Zul." She called and the guy raised his dull eyes to meet hers.

"Oh hey, Aieyn. Sorry I didn't see you there." He said, straightening his posture. He was okay with the leaders, especially Sheronica, but not with Aieyn. Aieyn had this powerful aura with her that screamed fight, and he definitely didn't want to get to her bad side.

Especially at that particular time.

She walked to him and sat on the space beside him.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

Zulfikar tried to smile, but it seemed more like a grimace as he turned to her.

"Are you?"

Aieyn didn't answer, but watched as he sighed and rubbed his face with his palm.

"I don't know Aieyn. I really don't." He leaned from his seat and clasped his hands together on his knees, his head hung low.

Aieyn patted his back in what she hoped a comforting gesture. She wasn't used to any contact with anyone except with her fellow leaders. She even flinched every time Sheronica surprised her with a sudden hug.

"It wasn't your fault, you know.." she started but stopped when Zul turned to her. If she wasn't naturally thorough, she wouldn't able to see the hint of tears in his eyes.

"I should've gone with her. I should.. I don't know, did something." He stared at his hands. "I don't even know what to do now. She's gone and I.."

Lily and Miezza's seemed to had overheard their conversation, as they had both stopped talking to each other. Miezza seemed to be sniffing a little while Lily had her stone face on, but looking at her, Aieyn knew the girl were trying really hard not to break.

"We are going to find her, and we will punish the one who did this." She said to Zul who shrank back to his position before. Aieyn then looked at the other faces in the room and stared at every one of them with such intensity. "We will make sure of that."

"What if.." a small voice said, and Aieyn snapped her had to Miezza. "What if they.. killed her?"

Aieyn could feel the heat coursing through her veins, so hot that if she was not careful, she could burn the entire place down.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes, they were shining, and Miezza almost choked in her sob.

"If they dare to touch a single hair on her body, I will destroy them."

"Try to look for signs." The guy with bright blue eyes said, looking around the place.

"What signs? We've been searching through this area for three days." Danish groaned.

Farra did not answer, however looking closely for any kind of signs that Izzudin meant.
