The Dawn: Rise of The Phoenix

Chapter 2

*Kharuna's POV*

We travel through the forest just past the walls, I can't help but smile as we walk.

"I didn't have a choice Misa! All my other clothes are dirty and I have to face the general of the water tribe!" Aiz is noisy again trying to save his own dear life. "I need to look presentable, right?" He gave a nervous smile. "So please forgive me?"

"Blah blah, trying to save yourself isn't gonna work Aiz." Misa glared at him. "You're indebted with me, pay me 50 golds for that clothing." Misa put his hand out with fingers wiggling. "The interest will be 10 gold for each day you haven't pay so better hurry and pay up." The infamous 'devil's smile' of Misa is now being witnessed for the first time by Jabez. "You can also pay by doing all my task and chores if you want."

Misa looked up as if thinking. "Let's see, wiping the castle's floor, trimming the trees and bushes, washing the bed sheets.."

Aiz groaned in response, defeated once again by Misa.

"Misa will be a great debt collected." Jabez whispered right at my ears sending shivers.

"Y-yeh."

"I must say, the devil's smile is quite amusing." He chuckled beautifully. I looked at my sister and as usual, just following along the path quietly.

"Please, I beg you Misa! I still haven't paid my last debt, I can't have another one!" Aiz said with a desperate tone.

"Well, I guess you gotta work for me if you don't wanna pay."

"B-but I can't do that either!"

"This wouldn't happen if you're not an idiot." I slip in the conversation.

"You stu—." I began to run at our destination, the noise of me, Aiz and Misa, while Jabez reacts at every conversation and Sheena just follow along quietly. I really missed this.

"But I missed this place the most!" I shouted as my voice echo through the caves. I picked up the match and lit up the Oil lamp. I looked around and see memories being carved all over the place. I smiled in satisfaction.

"This place.." Jabez went around and picked up some stuff, he smiles as he do so.

Sheena sat down at her usual place, the cave has a narrow upper part and there where she used to read her books and swing her legs while humming. "I still fit." She said.

Aiz jumped at the pile of blanket. "Do you guys still remember when I stole these blankets." He rolled around. "I got in trouble but we got to keep it anyway." We all laughed remembering the day.

"And your father really beat your ass." I added.

"And cried like a baby." Misa back upped my teasing.

"H-hey!" Aiz complained, Jabez joined our laughter.

My sister, even though turning away, we can still see her covers her mouth stopping herself from laughing.

"Even you Princess Sheena?" Aiz said all red. Misa joined the blankets and lay down, eventually leading everyone to follow. We spent the day laughing at forgotten memories, reliving left out routines. I wish we all can just forget about the serious matters and stay like this forever.
