I wake up with tear stained eyes and gets up. I walk out of my room to see my brother Zouci talking with Lilkat, I sit by them and ask " How are you two holding up?"

Zouci stares at me and asks " What do you think?" Alright what the hell was I expecting? Lilkat sits silently for a sec and then says " Cuffs is right we need to rebuild." I look at her in shock and say " What about the ones missing? What about Crystal, or Silverio, or Angel?"

Zouci gets up fuming with anger and snaps " Don't you see you dumbass? She's dead I saw it with my own eyes." I put my head down remembering Mello and say " I know how you feel Zouci." He explodes " NO YOU DON'T! YOU DIDN'T SEE HOW SHE DIED!" I look at him and say " I may not have saw how Angel died but I did see Cold and Mello die."

Zouci scoffs " Your used to death after all you killed your only family." Tears start streaming down my face as I say " I'm not the monster you think I am Zouci." Lilkat rubs my back as Zouci looks at me in pure rage as he says " You wanted her dead anyway."

I look up at him in disbelief and ask " How did she die?" He takes a deep breath and says " We were fighting a group of Deorum soldiers. We easily killed them, but then the leader of Deorum Apoc the demon appeared and started fighting Angel. He shoved me away as they fought. Angel nearly killed him but then Apoc cut her wings and then cut her head off. In rage I dipped my sword in holy water and killed him."

I stare at the floor thinking of all my dead friends Cold, Mello, Bam, Shelby, Silverio, Rexy, and all the rest my thoughts are interrupted by Cuffs and Kaebae. They walk to the center and Cuffs says " I am searching for Crystal Kaebae will watch over the guild. I need three volunteers to help."

My hand immediately raises Zouci and Lilkat also join. We head to the body infested battle field the stench of death and dried blood fogged the air as we searched. After a whole ten hours we meet up and found no trace of her. Lilkat closes her eyes for a good ten minutes but then opens them in fear and sadness.

Cuffs walks to her and asks " What's wrong" Lilkat says " Crystal is dead and I know who killed her." We all stare at her. I step forward and ask " Who did it?" She takes a deep breath and says "You."

I stand there silently as more tears fall down my face. Zouci looks at Cuffs and whispers something. Cuffs walks up to me and says " You killed a fellow guild member, now you must go on trial. If you are proven Innocent then you shall remain a crow. If you are found guilty you will be banned and hunted like a dog." I stare at him in sorrow as I think I killed her I couldn't have she was my friend.

We head back to the guild and inform everyone of our findings. Cuffs calls a mandatory meeting for all crows. We head to the meeting room where Cuffs sits alone in the center.

Cuffs says " Zeus here killed Crystal, not only was she a crow but she was also a vice leader. The terms are as stated you will vote by a raise of hands. If Zeus is proven Innocent then he remains a crow. However if he is labeled guilty he must leave crows, and tomorrow we will hunt him down and kill him. Now based off what you know who votes he's Innocent?" Lilkat, Luna, and Sadist raise there hands.

No this can't be happening Cuffs smiles and says " Very well we shall hunt him down tomorrow and kill him." Tears start running down my face like waterfalls as Cuffs shoos me away. I start running as the others throw stuff at me. Now I'm an outcast now I'm pray now I'm afraid.
