Chapter 26: chapter 26:

ZINA

Do you know how it feels to be out of place?

I looked over their faces, all of them shocked. Omar still tackling Smail to the ground and Mohammed was frozen, his face paled hearing Omar's words. 

"Yes, I did," Was the words Omar said, the simple words that got everyone tongue-tied, and Zina confused and lost.

I put hugged myself, putting both my arms around me, feeling cold. I looked over to Omar to see him pin Smail with his eyes. They continued staring at each other, their eyes speaking louder than words. 

 Mohammed was breathing heavily next to me, his eyes distant and somewhat sad.

"Omar," he whispered to him. His voice was so weak and vulnerable. No response.

"What did you do?" He asked him, 

"Something both of us needed," he said, his voice cold and emotionless, sending chills all over my body.
