Sakkri'a'she
whispering in my ear,
I hate Ramla so much,
and she's baiting someone's father
(Karma's father)
Vision twists and now I'm in a prison cell,
gasping from the pain of
abuse by husband, swollen stomach please don't kill me.
I wake and I'm still in the tree,
legs straddling that branch and my
wings covering my skin.
My breath comes too fast, those visions
are too true.
But I don't say a word as I'm packing my group's
supplies.
Iris crying out, mad rush to her
as she falls.
"Karma, don't follow, you'll fall too fast."
"But Acelan!"
"I know."
We wait, hands clutched together
so tightly my fingers might fall off,
but I need Acelan to come back.
Bring Iris, save her, save me,
save us.
I hate Ramla so much.
Sobbing, girl breaks out of Ecl
straight into her brother's arms,
and I'm so happy I could cry with her.
He's always saving us from Nothing.
Karma and myself
back away, give them privacy,
before we start on our journey
once again.
Bad news, snow melting in my hair
as I'm sitting by the fire four days later.
Sleep comes, with wings wrapped around me,
but I wake the same time Acelan does.
Where's Karma?
It's a blind run in the blizzard, searching for the girl
who screamed in Acelan's dream
as snow blinded her.
We follow him and find wolves,
dragging mongrel princess in the snow,
"Deadria, let her go!"
She-wolf laughing, hurts my ears,
I don't miss the glance Karma sends him.
Leave before you get captured.
No.
Chains hanging from my wrists,
I walk with all the others,
barefoot in the snow,
terror in my throat but I know I won't let go
of Acelan.
A/N: Just an update if you're reading Notebook's story. My poem reached the end of chapter 28. Mara, Acelan, Karma, Iris, Nahun, and Naosis have been captured by the Howlkin, which is where they were heading so Acelan could reclaim the throne (he's half-wolf, half-phoenix, remember). Make sure to review!
