Chapter 3

Izzudin was sitting at the cliff looking down at the waves that was hitting the rocks violently. It was a mirror of his own feelings, what he felt deep inside, and he almost hated himself for comparing himself with the sea, the water, which was their current enemy.

Izzudin sighed, deep and harsh. He closed his blue eyes for a while a took in a lungful of air, trying to calm his raging feelings, letting the breeze to caress his cheeks. He could almost hear her laugh and see her smile, the one that always light up the fortress..

"Izz.."

His eyes snapped open and he quickly turned to his back.

Miezza was standing there, a hand holding her hair from her face as the wind blew through them. Her eyes wide as she took cautious steps towards him.

"What are you doing here?" She asked, taking another timid step.

Izz tilted his head, trying to figure what she was thinking, and when he did, he smiled and turned back to face the ocean.

"I'm not going to jump, Miezza."

He heard her let out a breath, and a second later he felt her figure standing beside him.

"May I..?" She asked and he shrugged.

She sat down next to him, looking down at the hard waves on the rocky surface, thinking how she could survive if she ever fall down.

"You don't have to be so polite." He said.
"Well, you are one of the leaders.." Miezza trailed off and he chuckled.

"Do you think we want to? Just because we're the part of the original clan." He said softly, almost whispering.

Miezza sighed and looked up at the starry night. It was really beautiful there, she can't get enough of the view. It was different than the city, where she came from.

"It must be very hard.. being born in the clan I mean."

"It was." He replied. "It was even harder after the attack. Everyone was gone, it's only us." Miezza turned to him who had his eyes set on the dark horizons.

"Farra took it the hardest. She was only a little girl, but the weight of the burden she has to endure is too much. We have to fend for ourselves, train ourselves. And Aieyn too. Sometimes I wish I could help her with her sorrow. She wasn't always that hard, Miezza. She was a lovely girl, but after the ambush.."

He took a deep breath. "They are the only family I have left. I will die for them, that's why I can't think straight, not with Sheron's gone."

The cute face of the short girl flashed in Miezza's mind. She was always with Izz, no wonder he will become crazy due to her disappearance. Miezza's heart contradicted by the feeling that she was starting to get since a few weeks ago, since she first arrived to the fort with the other new members of the clan.

"We have our own grieves, but as long as we have each other, the grief will be forgotten." He finished the words with a smile. He knew she was still alive and well, and he vowed to himself that he will save her, no matter what.

Farra looked around her with confusion. She was fast asleep in the room she shared with Aieyn, but someone or something woke her up, and when she opened her eyes, it wasn't the same dark and familiar room she knew.

She was in a dimmed room, with no window, just the small bulb to light up the entire space. It smelt of dirt and wet, the walls were just plain bricks. It was then when she realised she was surrounded by steel bars, cage.
