Nya's P.O.V.

I walked around Ignacia with Zack. It had been a day since we found each other and so much has happened. I learned that once we left, Ignacia has been waiting anxiously for our return. I forgot that Kai was suppose to become a council member on the board here like our father. I got lost in my thoughts, I forgot that Zack was with me.

"Nya, do you think everyone's OK?" Zack asked, causing me to jump.

"I hope so, I can't stand the thought of my brother hurt," I sighed.

Then we walked around a corner and saw a group of people gathered, mumbling. Even some of them crying.

"What's going on?" Zack asked.

"I don't know, let's go find out," I said, starting to run towards them.

Zack followed me. The crowd made room for us to get through, and I gasped. No, they can't be dead. And where are the others. Only three, and at that, only two were part of the team. What about my brother?

"Nya," Zack mumbled.

All three of them, lying on the ground, motionless. What happened to them?

"Miss Smith," a man asked.

"Get them to the medicine bay," I said.

In Ignacia, we didn't have a hospital because our little village was so small. Instead, since we're a far ways from the nearest hospital, we have a medicine bay until we can get help. Right now, we need all the help we can get. Six of the strongest men came and lifted each of them up. We followed them to the large tent. Each of them were laid on the beds, asleep, at least I hope.

"Miss Nya, we will alert you if they awake," a nurse said.

"Ok, please do," I said.

With that, I walked out with Zack and back to Jessica's house. We walked inside and it was empty. I walked into the kitchen and found a note saying Jessica's at the farmer's Market.

"Nya, do mind me asking something," Zack asked, very politely.

"Sure, what is it," I said.

"Kai's told me many stories of your parents, but never what happened to your father," Zack said.

"So he told you our mother died fighting the serpentine," I sighed. "Sounds like him."

"What happened to your father?" he asked.

I sighed. "Ok, I'll tell you the story."

We sat down, he'll have to find this out at some point.

Nya's Story

A few years after Kai and Nya's mother died in the battle, Kai's father was found and brought home. Nya and Kai were overjoyed for his return.

"Dad!" little Nya cried.

"Oh, my little raindrop," their father replied, hugging his daughter.

"Father!" Kai cried.

"And there's the firestarter," their father chuckled.

"Da-ad" Kai moaned.

"I'm kidding, come here," he smiled.

They had a big family hug and live continued as normal. Until….

"Kids, come down here," Their father cried.

Kai, now 14 and Nya, now 12, ran down from their bedrooms on the second floor of their house. The came into the living room together, but sadness soon filled them when they saw their babysitter, Jessica.

"Father, you can't leave," Kai cried out, running to him, hugging him tightly.

"I'm not leaving, I'm having some old friends over, your just going to Jess's for a few hours," he explained.

"Ok, but only a few hours," Nya said.

"Yes, now come on," Jessica smiled.

The kids loved Jessica so much. She was a kind, generous person who loved kids, but didn't have any of her own. She was friends with Kai and Nya's mother, and would watch the kids on the odd occasion. The kids hugged their father, for the last time, but they didn't know that.

Nya's P.O.V.

"A couple hours later, we were told that we were staying over night. The next morning, we learned that bandits broke into the house, killed our father than burnt it to the ground," I said, tears streaming from my cheeks.

"Nya, will you be OK?" Zack asked me.

"Ya," I sniffled. "I'll be fine."

I rose to my feet, "Come let's go continue our walk."

So we did. We walked outside, sunset. It's been a day already. How!? We walked, with no interruptions, until….

"Miss Nya, someone's wake and asking where he is," a man said, out of breath.

"We'll be right there," I said.

We followed him, back to the medicine bay. Once we got back there, I heard someone screaming, yelling and shouting. We walked in and I knew exactly who it was.

"Tell me where I am! Stay away from me!" he cried.

"Please sir, calm yourself," a nurse said.

"Not until you tell me where I am!" he shouted.

"Enough! Don't make me use this," a doctor cried out, holding a needle filled with sleep serum.

This is getting out of hand fast. I need to do something.

"Stop this right now," I screamed.

Zack stared at me, shocked. I guess it's because I don't yell a lot. Everyone was staring at me.

"Yes, our apologize, Miss Nya," the doctor said.

"N-N-Nya," he said.

I walked to him, and he was frantically looking around trying to figure out what was happening.

"Nya, where am I?' he asked.

"You're in Ignacia's Medicine Bay. You're OK," I told him.

He looked at me, confused.

"Oh Jay, you're fine, i'll explain when the others wake up," I told him.

"Others, who else is here?" he asked.

"Zane and Skylor," I answered.

He went silent. I helped him over to the bed where the others were lying, still sleeping.

Then, after a few minutes, he mumbled, "Kai."

"My brother, what about him," I replied.

"He….." Jay went silent again. "He saved us."

"What!" I said. "Is he OK?"

"I don't know," he replied.

Then I finally took note of the cast on his leg.

"Jay, what happened to your leg?" I asked.

"It broke when Linda blew up the Bounty," Jay sighed.

I smiled and hugged him, "I missed you so much."

Tears started from my eyes as he whispered back, "I missed you too."

We hugged for a while. When we stopped, we just smiled at each other. I couldn't hold this back anymore. I needed to. I leaned in and kissed him, on the lips, and he returned it. He smiled at me.

"Gross," Zack complained.

We laughed.

"Someone, get this girl help!" a lady called from outside.

I saw Jessica, with a shorter girl with dark hair in her arms.

"Wait, Dash!" Zack cried.

"DASH!" Jay and I cried together.

I'm just going to say, JAYxNYA FOR LIFE! Yes, I love them, they're so cute together. Anyways, i hope you enjoyed this chapter.
