Important Author's note at the end of the chapter.

They were sitting around a fire at the back of the massive house. It wasn't raining that night, which then they decided to hang out outside, talking about their plan, must there will be any attack soon.

"Sheron said they were planning something bad, so I'm guessing they will come to us sooner than we think." Izz said, his blue eyes glimmered under the light emitted by the fire.

"I agree. They did say something about attacking you, but I never know the details." Lissa said, eyes flickered to Alex and Dylan who sat on her either sides.

Alex smiled. "I don't think they know how to come inside though. Rusdi can only bring a handful of army per se."

Farra nodded in understanding. "That's why he never brought anyone to attack before. He was doing it all by himself. Even kidnapping Sheron." She looked at Sheronica who had her hands wrapped around her legs.

"He was afraid that we will know."

"Yes. That's why they needed you, Farra, but they got her." Lissa motioned to Sheronica. "They took her blood."

There were gasps around, and the voices of people asking why.

"Why do you ask? They are creating a potion to build an army of Alphabets." Dylan grumbled under his breath.

Sheronica hid her face on her knees.

Jyra gasped again. "Oh my god, only Alphabets can enter the Force." She looked at her friends.

Lily was paled, while Miezza bit her bottom lip. Farra and Aieyn's faces were unreadable, and the guys from their Clan were whispering in a low voice.

"Should it was you who was taken, Far," Izzudin locked eyes with Farra. "We will be wiped away in one attack."

"But they got my blood. What difference would that make?" A small voice said, and all heads turned to Sheronica who sat in a ball position.

Izz slung an arm around her shoulder. "Hey cheer up. A bag of blood won't bring them any good. For all we know, maybe it don't even work. Have faith, okay?"

She pulled a shaky smile. "Yeah, I guess so."

***

"How is she?"

Izzudin raised his eyes from his book.
"Oh, it's you. Who are you talking about?"

The tall guy let himself into Izz's workplace. Books were all over the carpeted floor, all opened to a specific page.

"Sit down," Izz ordered, "and no foot on my book please." He stood up and walked over to a small pantry. "Tea or coffee?"

"No. I just want to talk."

Izz shrugged. "Okay, suit yourself." He poured himself another cup of coffee to keep himself awake.

"So, what are we talking about?" He asked, putting some cube of sugar into his drink and stirred it with a teaspoon.

"Is she okay?"

Izzudin was about to ask who, but then he had an idea who he might be talking about. He smiled.

"Why don't you ask her yourself. She's on the field, judging the girls' fight."

"I won't talk to her, so I am asking you. You're the closest person to her."

Izz tilted his head as if figuring something else.

"You like her, don't you, Zul?"

Zul fixed his eyes on a book, avoiding Izzudin's gaze.

"I don't know what you're talking about."
And Izzudin laughed.

"Of course. How can I be so stupid? Is this why you're so grumpy after she came back?" Izz's smile widened as he began to tease the guy. "You're jealous because I'm too close with her." He barked a laugh and sure enough, Zul's white skin turned pink.

"You're talking nonsense." Zul huffed.

"Ooooooh, am I?" Izz grinned.

Zul stood up. Apparently he can't stand being a joke anymore.

"Look, I just want to ask. But if you can't answer that then I'll just go." He said walking to the door.

Izzudin appeared suddenly in front of him and blocked the door.

"Sorry, but I can't have you go around wearing that expression anymore. You look awful." Zul was shocked by the voice behind him. he turned back and realised.

"Did you just use your clone to stop me?" Zul raised his eyebrows and Izz laughed.

"Come on, sit down. I thought you said we needed to talk."

"Jyra win!" Sheronica shouted the final result and Jyra jumped in delight.

"Yay! I know I would defeat you one day!" She pointed to Miezza who collapsed on the ground beside her, with the flag she just retrieved.

Lily who was ousted a few moments earlier laughed at the sight of Jyra.

"She's so funny." She said, and Sheronica joined in laughing.

"Who would've known." Sheronica replied.

"Exactly." Lily grinned, and shouted to the field. "Atta girl!" In which Jyra responded with a fist pump.

A moment later the girls walked back to the fort, leaving Sheronica with the next group of players.

"Next, Hisham, Danish, Noorizan.." Sheronica trailed off, looking between the guys who were doing their warming up for their turn to play.

"Where is Zul?" She asked.

Danish ran a finger through his dark curls in attempt to tame them down so that they wouldn't disturb him during his fight.

"I don't know, he said he has something to discuss with Izz." Danish shrugged.

"Oh, okay then. Only three of you. Go take your place.." she ordered and all three of them walked down to the practice field that had returned to normal from the previous damage by Miezza, Jyra and Lily's fight.

"You know the drill. You are permitted to use your powers to an extent. Those who are injured or cannot continue with the fight any longer are required to forfeit. Are we all clear?" She asked, hands on her hips, as she looked from Hisham, Danish and Noorizan's figure on the field.

"Yeah."

"Got it babe!"

"Let's do this."

"Then let's begin!" She yelled, and their powers clashed.

"Hi," said a voice.

"Its you." Sheronica smiled, and watched as Zul came to stand beside her. "You missed the fight." She grinned cheekily, and turned to face the fight again.

Zul looked down at her and was about to say something when a loud scream was heard.

"Danish out! Come here!" Sheronica yelled, and rushed to Danish's aid. Zul followed.

"You just started, Dan." She said, and pulled off Danish's jacket. Zul watched.

"I know, I was careless." Danish replied breathlessly, shrugging the last of his jacket from his torso. He was left with a no sleeve shirt he usually wore inside.

He wanted to sit up, but Zul stopped him by placing a palm on his chest.

"Lay back dude." Zul said, shaking his head.

"Well, we can't be careless during a war." Sheronica said simply, inspecting the huge gash on his left shoulder.

"It's only a scratch." She said, placing a hand on the wound and started to use her power to stick the skin back together. A light came out from her touch and Danish sucked in a breath.

"It burns." He whispered and squinted his eyes close. After a while, the light disappeared, and his wound was healed.

"Of course it burns. His power is one with Farra's." Sheronica replied softly and smiled. She stood up as Zul pulled Danish back to his feet.

She turned back to the fight and surprised as the field was unrecognisable.

She gasped. "It's only about ten minutes."

Another rain of lightning arrows fell down and Noorizan took cover under the plant he pulled out from the ground.

"Hisham, remember rule number one!" Sheronica yelled in horror.

"Nevermind Sher, we're having fun!" Noorizan yelled back from under his cover.

Finally the arrows stopped, and he emerged from his cover, just to attack Hisham back with a huge root he had magically withdrawn from the earth.

"Fun? I'm freaking out!" Sheronica screamed as Hisham got hit by the root, but still attacking back with his arrows.

Zulfikar chuckled. "They can take it. Don't worry." He said, casually crossing his arms on his chest.

Sheronica turned to him.

"Get hurt and come running to me." She huffed in annoyance.

"There there." Zul laughed.

"You're our nurse, right Zul?" Danish grinned wolfishly.

"That's true." Zul answered, a smug smile on his face.

Sheronica rolled her eyes, but smiled nonetheless. "Guys."

A while later, Noorizan was lying tiredly on the center of the field, while Hisham smiled proudly holding the flag.

"Hisham win!"

The practice field started to repair itself back to normal as Sheronica trudged to Noorizan.

"Hi." He said tiredly, one eye was swollen and half closed which was because of Hisham's fist.

"Now who's having fun?" Sheronica rolled her eyes, and started to heal him.

"I do." Hisham said, walking near them.

As soon as Noorizan was healed, he sat up and stretched his arms and legs.

"Me too."

Sheronica gasped. "Unbelievable!"

Hi, after a lot of thought, I decided to alter my update schedule. So instead of updating every Wednesday and Sunday, I will update every day starting from today and post about two chapters per update. The reason why I am doing this is;

1) I have already finished the whole book, except for the last chapter, which I'm going to write after this,

2) I want to complete this book as soon as I can, so that I can give my whole concentration to my main book Wedding Dress (a Taeyang x Hyuna fanfiction - so if you are interested, you can check it out too. I'd be very grateful),

3) School is starting soon (on 5th of September to be precise), so I may not be able to juggle time between school works, updating this and writing my ongoing books.

So yeah. I'll be updating another chapter after this and another two tomorrow. My goal is to finish this by next week (Friday) so wish me luck ♥

Anyways, I think this will be fun~ first vote and comment will get a chapter dedicated for him/her ;)
