*24*

PREVIOUSLY ON DARKNESS BEFELL US

"I only did it to protect my tribe and yes you were right about getting help and that is why the second in command of our enemy is helping us believe it or not he too wants what is best for his people and nothing more the only problem here is their queen! " I said already irritated with this whole meeting,

"You are speaking like a child Leader Karth!!How sure are you that you can trust him? " Councillor Eric said glaring at me and I sighed, these people will never believe and have always under looked me because I am young,

"Because I do want what is best for the Hnerez tribe, " I heard Zod say from behind me and I turned and looked and he was in his real form,

I gasped and everyone else gasped because I wonder how he knew Farath, Noth and I were in a meeting!

AND NOW.....

KARTH (NARRATION)

I looked at Zod and honestly I was not ready to show him to the council members, I was rebelling against them but now I was concerned I wanted to convince them first about him so that when I introduced him to them they would have lighter jugdement but now _____

"Yes I do want what is best for the Hnerez tribe I am only here to help and if you can let me explain then I will, " Zod said as he slowly started turning himself into the one we know,

The council members had their mouths dropped even that bastard Clay who basically met him already, they were all very surprised well obviously right,

"How can you let this ___this___thing into this building?! " Clay yelled at me looking at Zod who lowered his head and I rolled my eyes, both Noth and Farath looked at him _____basically glared at him,

"Watch how you talk to our leader Uncle!! " Farath said standing up, and I sighed,

"You are just like them both I trained you better than this boy ___your parents abandoned you and I raised you all by myself and now you talk back to me! " Clay said and I saw Farath glaring at him, how could he say that to his nephew,

"You have to give our leader respect! You don't know what he goes through everyday! He has to do what is best for this tribe thinking of everything and everyone!! " Farath said looking around at the council members,

"Can you believe this? My nephew here wants us to praise Karth because he brought an etocrite into this tribe! " Clay said looking at the three of us in disgust, and Noth sighed,

"I honestly think this meeting is over because you cannot see reason I came here to consult with you because I respect you all and I respect your say but if you start questioning me about my decisions I would rather not talk about this anymore! " I yelled in the room and the council members got wide eyes and I turned to leave,

"You cannot leave Karth this meeting is not over! " Council Kevan boomed and I just got out, but not before I said one more thing,

"I called for this meeting I can leave whenever I feel like it! "

I reached the hall and I sighed I wanted to punch the wall so bad, the elders, the council members!! they are getting on my damn nerves!!

"Leader Karth I am sorry for coming in unannounced but they were going to know about me anyway, " I heard Zod say from beside me, I turned and looked at Zod only to see Noth and Farath there both,

He is not wrong though!

...

CAZ (NARRATION)

I was walking with Nen in town, we just walking around, I was glad I could do things like this again with my sister I regret ever leaving and I don't think it will ever go away,

"Is Rik really gone? " I asked and she nodded laughing a little,

"It happened at dinner last night and by the way I didn't see you there, where were you? " Nen asked looking at me suspiciously, I sighed,

"I wasn't hungry so I decided to go to that hill we used to go to just to relax, " I said honestly but she was looking at me like she was reading me, I guess anything I do will be suspicious according to her and I don't blame her,

"I was happy when Karth finally told him to leave it was so unbelievably surprising because he didn't tell me about it so I was shocked, " Nen said looking happy really, I know she hates Rik with a passion,

"I know when I heard this morning I couldn't believe it either I was shocked too, " I said laughing and she laughed too,

Well I am glad he is gone from this tribe

"I don't know if I have to tell you this Caz but I am starting to trust you little by little so I want you to help me," Nen said looking around a bit,

"You can tell me anything and I can help you with anything at all, " I said looking in her eyes and she nodded slowly,

"We have a mole in the tribe, " she whispered in my ear and I was surprised I didn't see that coming, if the person who gave information is not me or Rik then who could it be!!

"I will help you Nen don't worry, " I said truthfully and she nodded her head smiling softly which made me smile too,

I really got back my sister.

....

NOTH (NARRATION)

"Karth calm down!! " I said as he was pacing back and forth looking angry, in fact beyond angry!

"Noth is right you need to calm down don't let them get to you, " Farath said calmly and I almost rolled my eyes,

We were still in the large hallway but Karth was really losing it right now,

"Leader Karth you need to calm down," Zod said and Karth turned to him glaring at him, oh no,

"You_______why did you come here?!" Karth pointed at Zod accusingly, and Zod looked down,

"You shouldn't have come here!! "Karth yelled through the hallway and I sighed, fighting isn't going to help us,

"Karth calm down this is not helping at all! " I yelled too and he pushed me away, I looked and felt sorry for my brother everything is becoming too much for him because he is the leader,

"Shut up! Shut up! You don't know what I am going through! I feel like my head is about to explode! you don't fucking know! " Karth yelled at us and we moved back all worried, I think he freaking lost it finally,

Council Kevan and the other council members came out of the room and looked at us glaring at us, then Clay glared at Karth,

"I thought you decided to leave Karth, " Council Kevan said glaring at Karth too,

What happened next surprised us in fact all of us,

Karth pounced on Council Kevan grabbing his robe tightly, he was sweating a lot, Council Kevan looked really scared because Karth was breathing in his face and Clay immediately tried to grab him but he couldn't,

"You do not tell me what to do you hear me! " Karth said in a deep voice and Council Kevan nodded his head frantically trying to get away from Karth,

Karth grabbed Clay who was pulling him and pushed him away and he fell, Farath went to help his uncle while Karth pushed Council Kevan away from him, he was really pissed, I pulled him away and he pushed me too walking out, Zod followed him,

"How could that boy push me Farath?! " Clay said looking at his nephew and Farath was just quiet,

"Uncle just stop, " Farath said helping his old uncle up from the ground,

"That boy should not be leader of this tribe! He doesn't even respect elders at all! " Clay said looking at the council members who were quiet,

"You know you really pushed him to the limit Clay this is your fault, " I said pointing at him and he gave me a look like I was accusing him,

"I didn't push him! This council should know that he is a bad leader! He should be changed to someone worthy! " Clay said pointing at the door where Karth left out,

"And what____put you as leader?!" I said and smirked leaving with Farath,

Good luck on that then.

....

NOTH

"What is it Noth? " Nen asked on the acview and I was glad she finally answered,

"You need to help us, " I said as I was walking with Farath,

"What is it then? " Nen asked looking off screen at something,

"It's Karth Nen ______he lost it, " I said and she immediately looked at me confused,

"What! What happened? He left here happy what happened in that meeting, " Nen said now looking fully into the screen,

I told her everything that happened and her eyes got wide,

"Oh no where is he now? " Nen asked getting up and then I saw Caz too,

"He just left the building we don't know where he is, " I said and she looked off then looked back in the screen,

"I know where he is, " Nen said and cut off the connection

I sighed and looked at Farath who shrugged and we continued walking

...

NEN (NARRATION)

I breathed in when I saw him sitted at the graveyard, I felt bad when I saw that his head was down and he was touching it, I walked slowly to him,

He was sorted in front of his father's grave as he was holding his head, I was worried I thought he was okay when he left home but I guess that meeting really touched a nerve,

"Hey honey," I said and he slowly looked up, I gasped when I saw his eyes were red,

I opened my arms and he grabbed me pulling me to his lap,

"Hey hey what happened? " I asked and he just stayed quiet looking at his father's grave,

I looked at it too,

*GARTH "THE LION" STONE*

LEADER OF THE HNEREZ TRIBE

I smiled when I looked at it, it was right Leader Garth was a very tough leader like his nickname, he didn't tolerate any nonsense and everyone knew it,

I looked at Karth and he was looking at the name intensely,

"I don't think I can match up to him, Clay is right, I am a bad leader, " Karth said slowly like he had given up on everything and I just decided to listen to him first,

"Don't say that honey when have you ever listened to what Clay says, and also you and your father are different ________he was ruthless and you are tough but still you think before acting and I like that, " I said and he still didn't look amused by what I was saying,

"Of course you cannot match up to your father, " I said and he looked at me looking hurt and I smiled,

"Because you are a better leader than he was, he must be truly happy that you became leader of this tribe, " I said softly touching his cheek and he smiled finally, I knew I could get to him,

"What happened at that meeting? " I asked and he looked at the sky exhaling deep,

"I don't want to talk about it, " he said when he looked at me and I nodded in understanding,

"Come on let's get out of here, " I said getting up and pulling his arm to get up and he got up ,

"Everything will be okay Karth I am here for you baby, " I said looking up at him and I leaned in slowly pecking his lips and he nodded holding my waist leaning his forehead on mine,

I grabbed his hand and pulled him and we walked slowly to the front only to look and find Noth, Farath and Santi there waiting,

"Took you long huh, " Noth said smiling and I knew Santi told them I came here because I was with her and Caz before I came here,

I looked up at Karth and he smiled a little, he has come down, that's good,

"Are you okay Karth? " Farath asked Karth and he nodded slowly I know he will be fine he just needs to rest and relax his head,

"Let's go then, " Noth said and I nodded, we all started walking,

We walked for some time and we finally saw a train that leads back to the city, Nothing suggested we get on it to go back quickly and we did,

When the train started moving we sat down and the conductor bowed slightly to Karth who smiled a bit,

We sat in silence when the train went into the little dark tunnel and it slowed down a bit,

When it went through the other side, we were shocked to see a woman with long white hair standing at the front, we immediately went to fighter mode,

"Well nice to finally see you again Karth, "
