tune

Jake got up and started following the voice, it was getting louder and louder.

Ember got a bit ticked off that someone was playing at an hour like this, for she knew it had been two days since her brother had slept and didn't want him to wake. That was until she followed the sounds and found out it was coming from room seven, she paled and turned, not daring to check the door.

Em spotted Jake out of bed and called out softly "Jake! Did you forget something? Why are you up again?"

Jake kept following the voice, until he made it outside, and there stood his daughter, in the mist. Next to her was… A Woman.

Ember had followed him out at a distance, for it was her duty to keep all members safe. A bow and quiver appeared slung across her shoulder, in case she had to defend Jake.

"Kat?….What are you doing here with …LIVIA!" He ran to his daughter but just as he got close, she disappeared into the mist. Then he yelled out in anger, " WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER KAT?!"

Em slung her bow from her shoulder and nocked an arrow, ready to put it in the forehead of the woman if she tried to hurt Jake

She just laughed in a low growl like voice.

"Back away from Jake or I will fire." She warned the woman, shockingly letting out a just as threatening growl.

you think you have power over me? HA! the woman said in a deep voice. Then turnin to Jake said If you wish to see your daughter again, you must bring me in return…your heart, you have 10 days to do so

Ember's bow dipped a bit as she said that

Jake put his hand towards his heart as she disappeared into the fog. " Livia…my baby girl…" he looks down.

"Jake…I-I had no idea." The smug tough demeanor of Ember vanished instantly in shock as she realized that…his daughter was in danger.

Jake then looked at Ember just realizing she was there. " what did you hear? "

"All of it…Jake we're gonna get your little girl, I promise you that." Ember said, her bow and quiver vanishing.

Jake looked down at the ground, then pulled himself together. " Thanks, thats why i crashed landed…i was in a great battle against creatures of HER making, and within the fighting, they took my daughter and killed my wife…and ever since i've been searching for her. I'll tell the others in the afternoon, give them a chance to wake up."

"I'm so sorry Jake." Tears actually stung at her eyes "We all understand death and loss here, but I'll put down my life to make sure that little girl isn't added to the numbers we've lost."

"she's my everything…But 10 days is only so much" he once again reached down towards his heart. "lets go inside and go to bed, or at least try to.."

Ember nodded and held the door open for Jake feeling like she had gotten stabbed in her heart

Jake went inside and said goodnight to Ember, then headed to his room, thinking of his little girl. It's seemed like only minutes until morning came.

Em didn't sleep that night. "It's okay I slept last night." She muttered as she headed to the training arena

Back in Mal's room Anna was cuddled right up to her, snoring lightly.

Mallory woke up in the middle of the night, holding Anna in her arms. She smiled lightly and kissed her forehead before sliding out of the bed.

Anna kept asleep, curling up in the bed as Mal left

It was close to morning, maybe an hour or so before the sun would rise and Ember was already out to lower the shields and camouflage after working out in the training area for a little while.

Mallory wrote a note letting Anna know she had gotten up and gone to explore. So she went and pulled some clothes on and made her way out ready to explore.

Jake got up and showered again, to refresh up.
