The storm was slapping the heavy rain drops against their skin. They wouldn't move, they couldn't.

Where should they have gone?

There was no escape. All they could do was praying and hoping, that the wave wouldn't hit them, that the wave would not be higher than Jongdae predicted.

Jia and Jongdae were wrapping their arms around the tree and around Bo, who was silently sobbing.

If Jia survived, she would never forget Bo's helpless eyes, that were desperately searching for security and safety. She would never forget, that she couldn't give him what he longed for, all she could do was staring at the horizon, where she saw the huge wave getting closer and closer.

Desperately she stared at Jongdae, who was trying to figure out, if the tsunami would be high enough to reach them. Then all of a Sudden he yelled out with a sparkle of fear in his eyes.

"Climb up that tree!"

With a start Jia helped Bo to climb up Jongdae's back and then she quickly began to search for a branch, that was strong enough to carry her. But that was easier said than done, especially, when she was under extreme pressure of time.

twenty

she seized a branch, she fell
repeated, fell again
she screamed in bitter pain
she seized a branch, a yell

fifteen

she took her strength, set upright
fingers reaching for grasp
her lips left a little gasp
she's haunted by the knight

ten

she grabbed his hands, drenched with tears
pulling up the little kid
giving him a place to sit
his loss is everything she fears

five

she had them both beside her
the child and the saver
but the wild and the braver
knight behind them didn't care

four

breathlessly staring at the enemy
would it bring pain with it
every inch'd feel the hit
protect your little family

three

in the eye of the feared one
covered with sweat he started to pray
when no one helped them, god may
don't give up now, help's gonna come

two

where hope was there is now her total despair
will she lose everything she'd ever won
never a family, never a son
and frantically she complained, this isn't fair

one

the knight would destroy the beauty in his mind
it would even carry the happiness away
the little boy expected a longlasting fray
has ever been innocent and always kind
...

A terrible crash jiggled the tree relentless and the muddy and thunderous water yanked off some branches below them. The water reached up to their toes, and made the whole tree shake dangerously. Jia put the jacket she used to keep Bo by her side with, around her waist and gave Bo the other side of it. She didn't want the shattered boy to fall down into the pouring fluency, where a lot of wreckage was floating by. The thundering wave dismantled everything it hit, it was a miracle, that the tree was still standing and keeping them save.

Then suddenly Jia saw something floating by, that didn't look like a piece of wreckage. She screamed in panic and grabbed the branch tighter, to not fall down from the shock. What she saw was worse than everything she had ever seen. It was a dead young man, he would still have had more than half of his life before him, but the knight killed merciless.

It still does.
WHERE IS XIUMIN?
Was he okay?

Minutes of pure anxiety were passing by until the water finally stopped floating and stopped. In relieve smiling Jia turned her head to Jongdae, who was silently shaking his head.

"It's not over yet. Where the water comes from, it'll also get back to."
