“Are you kidding me!?” yells my friend Nate. “Thrown out like you’re nothing?” “I’m fine, it’s okay.” I answer. It’s not. I’m not okay. I’ve been “released”, as General Tre would call it, on medical terms. No more army, no more fighting, no more justice. Normally I’d be happy, but under the circumstances given, it’s completely different. “Well?” Nate yells. “What? I wasn’t listening.” I say. “What are you going to do about it?” He asks. “About what?” I ask, as Nate sighs. “About getting kicked out the army!” He exclaims. “Oh, Right. I don’t know, what should I do?” “I’ll tell ya.” He laughs. “All you need to do is-“ “ALL SOLDIERS TO THE TRAINING GROUND!” Booms a voice from behind us, me almost using my crutches as weapons. Nate follows the voice as quickly as possible, leaving the conversation immediately. …show more content…
“I’ll talk to you later!” He answers. “The imperial’s are on their way!” I never saw him again. Dead. Killed in battle at the footsteps of the Confederate Outpost. Supervised by mister helmet hair himself. Tre did nothing to stop it. He could have, but didn’t. And now, I’m here with him, at his burial a month later. I had just gotten of my crutches when I found out. Tre loomed over the grave stone like he was trying to intimidate it, acting like it was worth it. I was about to leave when he said something to me. “Pity, he just didn’t know how to save himself” he spat. I couldn’t control myself. “What!?” I shouted. “How on earth can you say that? You could have easily helped him, but you just stood and watched as he was ripped
“I can’t believe you’re still alive! Your family is worried sick about you, back in England. You will be sent back immediately! This is an outrage! I’m very sorry, very sorry indeed.”
“YOU BASTARD!” he screamed, his face contorting into a twisted mask of anger. “HOW COULD YOU FORCE YOURSELF ON ME AFTER WHAT HAPPENED? I WAS RAPED, YOU MOTHERFUCKER! I WAS FUCKING RAPED!”
“ Are you sure? I was standing right close. I could hear him gasping for breath.”
She looks up shocked. " It wasn't his fault. ... It was an accident. It's
She wrapped her fingers around his wrist to stop him. An image flashed of her face, upper lip bloody, color returning to her skin. “I thought you were dead. I saw you get shot.”
“You fucking bitch!” I screamed. She laughed cutely before pulling the knife from my stomach. She pushed her finger into the wound and bit her lip softly. The corners of my vision started to fade to
“ You can’t say that it wasn’t your fault, I should have been more safe.” He said with a reassuring
He’s a short man with a broad chest and a clean shaven face. His buzzed peppered hair is short and starting to thin. His broad nose is long and his eyes are almond and honey brown on a broader dark olive face. He’s dressed in better clothes than Samuel with a high tech gun on his belt. It’s one of the guns from this year’s stock. It looks brand new and unused. It’s odd to find such a nice gun on such a rough man.
I looked back at her, hands stuffed in my pockets. "If I haven't been ordered to save him, then I'll let him die."
“Yes it was. If I was fast enough, he wouldn’t have had to save me and the kid.”
“WE FIGHT FOR OUR GOD!” high command shouts.I know we fight for our corrupt government.What can I do I can not and will not continue the murder innocent people, but I can not die here and leave my family.On horses, we ride into battle.The army in front of use is just fighting the same war on the other side.I get off my horse and ready myself for war.I can not do this.I'm sorry family I’m sorry I failed
Again, the dark laughter echoed in her head. Shit, shit, shit. She was so damn stupid, so bloody arrogant. In spite of the sunglasses she wore to lessen the risk of overstimulation to her senses, the lenses were no safeguards against the weighted stares of the people on the bus, and Tung wasn’t here acting as a buffer.
“Nay, I cannae risk it. I dinnae think I kin take another one of his beatings!” she shook as she said the words.
whatever. He needed to be a big boy about it. And as far as going back—absolutely impossible. “It won’t happen, Sherry. He wants both of us dead.”
Kaliyo snapped her fingers. “He’s got it where it counts. Just had to close my eyes and hold my breath. It was worth it, though.”
