It was night time, dark, foggy, and tense as the western armies moved out. I moved with them, silently, upon the ranks of the once lost "Technician". Beside me was my best friend Santana. Behind me, the rest of the squad. Ahead, the b***h sergeant. Sergeant Laura didn't quite like me, you could tell when she talked to me or looked at me.
Our mission was to sneak into the opposing eastern army's base and quit their production of eon. Eon is a bright green substance like toxic but worse. The eastern armies will load them into big, heavy guns for them to be shot at us. From what I've seen one shot can take down whole camps as it explodes. The rank for one who deals with Eon is called a "Blaster".
As we made our way through the field I happened to spot one of the Blasters getting ready to fire. I let the squad go ahead and snuck around the back of the flaming rubble that was once one of our watch towers. With a growl I used my feet and propel my self into the air. I landed on top of him, pinning him down as his gun flew barley out of reach. Swiftly, my gun was pointed to his head.
With armor leeched onto him it was then that I realized that he could easily toss me off. He was built and worn with new and old battle scars. He had a look of rugged handsomeness. I tried my best to hide the prickle of fear that was boiling up inside me as he stretched his arm as far as possible and grabbed his gun.
I froze. I couldn't bring my self to pull the trigger once he had grabbed that Eon gun. When he brought it up I closed my eyes tightly in fear. I felt the capsule containing the green substance fly by my head as a few strands of hair swished. I didn't feel it hit me. That was because he hadn't shot it at me. I opened my eyes in shock and turned around to see a dead solider on the ground. I got up and ran to see if i knew the person. With a confused expression I looked to the blaster, who was now standing up, then back to the solider. It was an eastern army solider.
"You just saved me." The words came out before I even realized that he had saved me. He only nodded lightly. "Thank you, but...why?" "Because, there was no one here to stop me."
After that He introduced himself to me. His name was Heath. Personally, I was both astounded and baffled why he even let me live let alone tell me his name. I told him mine, Aerith.
From then on during the war I would go around bringing down the eastern army as Heath helped me, and I helped him. We seemed to have formed a mental connection that was only good for saying "I wot let you die", because thats why we were fighting, to keep each other alive.
The war ended due to a withdraw of the western army. I wasn't ready to give him up though. I snuck away each day whenever I had free time to see him. Eventually Sergeant Laura's suspicions were raised and she sent one to follow me. My senses had been blinded by love and the thoughts that came with getting to see Heath again.
When i got back to camp that day Laura struck me with her hammer on the head as punishment. I sat there on the ground with blood dripping down my forehead and fists clenched as she told me I couldn't see Heath again. She had yelled that I couldn't date a blaster. When she did, I heard a p***k of jealousy.
I was kicked out of the western army once Laura reported me. After that, I left to join the eastern. to join Heath.
Once in the army, after about two months Heath confessed his love for me. I was ecstatic. I had been waiting for him to say that from the start. I was determined to have him as my own. Things were going great. The clothes came off once or twice and missions kept us busy. from there on out i knew things could only get better, and I did.
The western army attacked. My friend, Santana betrayed the western army and switched over to the eastern in the middle of the war. I got to successfully kill Laura, and eventually the war fell out to an all out victory for the eastern army.
when the war was over the army was no longer needed as the east took over the war scarred land and started repairing. Peace was made between many people out of fear, some out of friendship. With their friends spread across the land no one dared to defy the new ruler.
Heath and I got married and had two children, a boy named Nero and a daughter named Lilith. We lived happily, that is until the old western army got others and rebelled. We fled for safety and eventually found it.
At our new home I missed my friend Santana dearly and wondered what ever became of her. That my friend, is another story though.
