Notes
Malik’s past is so darn sad!!!! *sniff* And so is Isis! Poor girl, she never got
a chance to smile did she? She lost her innocence even though she was so young!
*sob*
Anyway, how did you like the chapter? I love this chapter. It’s now my
favourite chapter. I feel sorry for Malik but feel even more sorry for Isis, who
has to watch everything happen but has no power to change anything. As Serenity
said Isis’ eyes look so sad!!!
I hope this chapter shows you something
about Isis and Malik, and I hope you like them even better now that you know
about them. Especially, Isis, who I think deserves so much more attention than
she is given. *sigh*
