A/N: Nothing really to say about this chapter except that it picks up right from the end of the last chap. :)
Stumbling blind
Is never a good idea.
Finding myself in the Nest
I collapse at his feet
Fourteen years old now and still falling.
"How can you do this?" I scream
at Acelan, calm Acelan.
"You knew!"
My accusation is biting,
And he doesn't understand.
But knowing he knew I'm not
A bastard all along,
That hurts.
The hole at my feet that leads to the ice
Is so inviting,
But he's pulled me out one too many times
And still doesn't know I go there when I'm alone
To see the stars sparkling
On the surface of the seas.
Bitter, bitter,
That's what I am.
And I can't live at home anymore.
He crushes me to him
And I'm crying so hard I can't pull away.
I only want to escape to Ecl
Where it is safe.
But I don't.
Through my sobbing I ask if he'll come to get my stuff
With me.
And there are no questions.
He understands.
Mother doesn't want me anyway
And I love dancing too much.
