Chap 7.

"So, uh, where are we going?" I asked.
"Deep into the forest. They've set up a small little village, where they live away from normal humans." Weston replied.
"And we are hunting them because?"
"They slaughtered innocent's. They killed a whole section of the city, before being driven out."
"Alright. I can kill em now. Going in with blind conviction isn't my style."
"Listen Adamska, I enjoy this as much as you, but it's also my JOB. I plan to end my creations. All of them. That includes you."
"The day when I put a bullet through your skull is the day I kill my own demons, Weston." I said, telling the whole truth.
"Boy, I would strike you down now if I didn't need you so much."
"Why me, anyways? Why not my brother, who is far better. Or Alex, who cancels out Biotics. Or Danni who was brought back by em, or Elizabeth, who is a synthetic version of Aster?"
"Because I hate you the most. Think about it. All this teamwork. And then a simple stab in the back. It's so....relishing." He said, grinning.
"I don't know whether to kill you now, or when you're on yer knee's begging for mercy."
"Let's focus. We are almost there." Aster said.
"Right. Come on." Weston said. Hmph. I cant wait till I punch those sunglasses off his b*****d face. I still hear them... The screams of his failed patients.
"Ah, here we are. Aster, you know what to do."
"Hahahaha...This will be enjoyable." He quickly possessed one, and set the area around him, people included, on fire before causing his victim to explode.
"Kill without mercy Adamska. Do what I made you for."
"******** you." I said, before hitting them with a burst from my SCAR, and hacking with my Hunting Blade.
"So much gore. Enjoyable isn't it? Someone who relishes war so much. It must feel like home to you. As soon as he said this, I stopped time around us, and encased us in a Biotic shield.
"If you don't shut the hell up, I will cripple you here and now. I cant kill you because I don't have Mop's .45. That will be the gun I kill you with. Keep it in mind. Now, shut the ******** up, or I leave." He simply stared into my eyes, and laughed. I dropped the shield and continued my dirty work. Slaughtering men women and children. How quickly bloodlust returns. After a few minutes, I was completely into it. Ripping them in half, tearing away, causing screams of pain. I'm a monster.
"Hahaha. So you are enjoying it Adamska. The taste of blood quickly becomes an addiction, does it not?" God. Does he ever shut up? At least Aster knows when to be quiet. Eventually, we finished and burned everything.

"Guy's, need a sitrep. What's going on?" I asked.
"FFSSHH-Being Overru-FFSSHHCRACKLECRACKLE-Need assist-CRACKLE-Now dammit!" Then it cut out.
"******** it. We're going over there now."
"Fine, fine. I agreed to help you." We were on out merry way. When we got there, it was a scene out of a ******** textbook. Bodies everywhere, carnage left and right. I saw Fox and Kindert, so I rushed over.
"The hell happened?"
"Over run. Freak's everywhere. We stayed for clean up. Go on. You'll find em." And sure enough, we did. Fighting a good sizable army.
"Uh, Weston. You gonna fight with that P226 of yours?"
"Of course. My only weapon of choice."
"Aster, what about you?"
"I have my Biotics, and Lyla." He drew a strange, handmade Magnum.
"Great." We leapt into battle. I met up with Alex.
"So, i'm back. How're things?" I said, as I unloaded into the zombies, and reloaded.
"Fox give you the overview?"
"Yeah. We're ********."
"Pretty much. Marx is pretty much FUBAR, but he refuses to leave."
"I'll tell him." I leapt away and found him, and he looked as if he would drop dead, but was still cracking skulls.
"Marx, leave. Head back to the LZ."
"No sir. I can-"
"That's a direct order, dammit. Follow it. NOW."
"Yes sir." He quickly departed, and I continued to clean up. I noticed Weston, simply slowing them down, and shooting them in the head. Aster was causing mayhem, making them time bombs.
"Look out!" I turned, and a Stinger was dispatched by ACR fire before it impaled me.
"Thanks." I said, as she leapt to my side.
"Not a problem." At least someone had my back.
"So, how long have we been over run, and how many have we dispatched?" I asked Danni.
"Over run for a little less than an hour, and we've been fighting the good fight."
"Good." We continued clearing out for what seemed two hours, and finally finished, before Aster set a massive fire so no collector's or Necrotics could retrieve the bodies.
"The stench of burning flesh. Do the memories come back to you, Adamska?" Weston said, making me remember those times. He then grabbed me by the head, and made me relive them. Once he let go, I fell to the ground convulsing, and then puked up my breakfast. Ugh. Orange juice, bacon, grit's and buttered raisin toast never looks as good the second time.
"You b*****d. You're lucky he doesn't have Mop's .45. I'd kill you myself, because of what you did. What you did to the whole team." Alex said.
"Carriker, You and Alexander are the only member's of M.F.U. left. I'd silence myself if I were you to keep it that way." Weston replied coldly. I stood up.
"Weston, I will never forgive you. You just made me relive the past of hell. Do it again, and I will kill you." He promptly grabbed me by the throat, and pinned me to the wall encircling the town.
"Show me what power you have, you insolent fool. Show me you were worth creating." Everyone leveled their weapons, even Aster, who appeared beside him, with Lyle to his temple.
"Don't do it. Do not interfere. You would all die before you pull the triggers." He said. I was losing air, and couldn't concentrate. He squeezed harder.
"FOCUS BOY. CENTER YOUR HATRED." He made me relive the memories. Over and over. Then, he showed me her death. Mop's horrible death, continuously. The rage built inside me. To the point where it released it's self. In the form of a Wolf. A white wolf, covered in a red aura much like Aster.
"That's more like it. Now, more hatred." He made me feel the pleasure in her death, and my anger erupted. The Wolf attacked, and he let go. It promptly disappeared.
"Another reason why you are the White Wolf Adamska. Ha. Child, tempt me again and I WILL finish you off. Also, the pleasure of her death will forever be inside your memories." I wanted nothing more than to chew open his jugular, to make him bleed, but I couldn't do it. I wasn't strong enough.
"Now. We have another hunting in three weeks. Control your hatred. Manifest the Wolf. Do not disappoint me." With that, he left. Aster went with him. I barfed again, and walked to the plane.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Danni asked.
"No. Never. The memories make me want to kill him. And myself. I want nothing more than to rid myself of them. When we get back, i'm going to the training room. Don't enter, any of you. Unless you want me to kill you."

After my training session, in which I couldn't even manage to make my Aura red, I went to the roof. I placed my .357 to my temple, and sat there with my eyes closed.
"You wont do it, will you?" She asked.
"No. It helps me think. It also helps me forget." She sat down beside me, and I holstered it.
"Why are you out here?"
"Locked myself out of my room. That or someone locked it and hid the keycard. I tried your room, but it was locked too."
"I swear. When I get my hands on Alex and Elizabeth..."
"How do you know it's them?"
"Oh come one, it's obvious they want us together. Alex knows how I feel about relationship's in my units though. Maybe he think's i'm over Mop."
"What the hell kind a name is Mop anyways."
"Don't insult her. Please. She's important. She still is. And it was her nickname."
"Oh. Wait, if you don't want me...are you saying you like Elizabeth better?"
"No. Truth is I've always liked you more. But a relationship means pain and fear of you getting hurt. If you get killed, I wont forgive myself. I'll end up killing important people. And myself."
"Fine...Also, where are we going to sleep?"
"We can share the couch. You get one half, I get the other."
"Fine, but...um...could you hold me? I get nightmares sometimes...You know... about the carnage."
"Fine." I could tell it was a half assed lie, but I wasn't going to say I knew it. We headed in, and I got the left half. I couldn't sleep, so I lay there, thinking. Eventually, I stared at her and gave in, allowing her to snuggle against me. I quickly fell asleep. ******** you, fate. Making me fall asleep with her in my arms.

"Huh?" I was waking up, and she was still there in my arms
"What time is it? Shouldn't we be getting ready?" She asked.
"What's this?" A note was on the blanket over us. I picked it up and read aloud.
"Stay in. Alex and I have this mission handled. Sleep in together, love birds~ Signed, Elizabeth" And then after wards was a drawing of her and Alex smirking at us. I'm going to kill them. I swear. I will.
"Ah well. We should do as the note says~" She yawned. Do I ever get a break?
"Hmph." I rolled over.
