Book Two: First Chapter: The Blooming Alliance Is Born

Things around the big mansion looked suspicious tonight. It was midnight but from the cars that kept coming and the number of youths emerging from each car, it looked like it was midday.

No one had a pleasant look over their faces, as if they were forced to come here, dragged from their beds and threatened to enter the cars.

"They are here," a soft voice came from behind, "but… don't you see this is too much?"

"It's not," Natalie turned to face her friend, Peri while ruthlessly adding, "he started this war and he had to shoulder the consequences."

Peri couldn't help but sigh while watching the two puffy eyes and paled look over her friend's face. She knew how bad the past week was, and she only hoped her friend would return to her sanity, overcome her bitterness and agony and cease all these hostile actions against Dockrey.
