Amzela slunk down to the beach. She was tired and weak from the lashes Markus, the new team leader, gave out. There were only eight out of the 30 of the Tiger gang left and Slika had fallen ill. In all of Lomedor, Earsul Marina was the one best places to go for a young, disapointed thief. Feeling the worst of the worst, she stared at the water. She sat at the edge for 15.675 minuets, staring at the water as if a mermaid were there.
What has gotten into him? He use to be so nice. Amzela thought. A voice inside her answered the question.
You know, Amzela. Markus is a half-demon. So was Sargraysa. Amzel side. She lifted up her sleeve and touched her brand. It was a tiger, easteren of the kind, that slithered from her upper half of her upper arm and onto her shoulder bone. It was the marking that she was bounded to her leader. What was worse, though, was that if the leader was strong enough, he or she could control you and you couldn't stop it unless you came into their view or they stopped controling you. You couldn't remove it unless the person you were bounded to died and they weren't thinking of the gang. She sighed again.
Markus?? Where are you?
It was beautyful day. Fraylis always was looking for a moment when she will be able to forget all troubles and rest. Today she finaly got such chance. Swimming in a sea helped her to relax. The water was warm enough, pleasureable to swim in. She took hours to remain in the water until finaly she decided to dive and disappeared in the water for a half hour. Soon she showed up again and swam back to the bank walking gracefully out of the water. Her long red hair were wet as was her body as well. In one hand she held something. Finaly she layed down beside Amzela closing her eyes at the feeling of sun's warmth." Hope this place isn't taken yet?" she said.
Amzela looked up. "Oh hello. Sorry, I could move." She looked into the water. A shadow moved across the lake. Amzela eyed it suspicously. "Do you know what that is?" She walked into the water. Something slimy grabbed her by her foot. "HELP!" she screamed as she was dragged under by the crashing waves.
