Abandoned At The Altar By My Mate CHAPTER 65
Price of Survival"Is this over?" The voice of Flora was hoarse, just a whisper over.Adrian didn't answer immediately. His gaze swept across the battlefield-if one could still call it that. The fires had burned out, leaving only charred remains of buildings that once stood proud. The scent of blood, metal, and something acrid, something wrong, hung thick in the air. Bodies, too many to count, lay motionless, some half-buried under rubble, others sprawled where they had fallen.A gust of wind kicked ash around them like ghostly reminders of the many who had already died. Adrian clenched his jaw. "Looks like it." But it didn't sound very convincing, even to him.Flora swallowed hard and pushed herself up from where she had been crouched behind a broken column. Her sleeves were bloodstained—some of it hers, most of it not. Her body ached with exhaustion gnawing at her limbs like an insatiate predator, yet she ignored that. There wasn't time for weakness. Not yet.Adrian turned to her, h

" After The Storm"" Christ, I do not suppose we escaped that catastrophe," Adrian breathed, his voice slightly audible as he hugged the cold wave of the emulsion wall. His aspect danced from one swathed branch to the other, trying to make sense of the raw destruction.Flora shifted beside him, her tone edged with both weariness and determination. “ You say that like it was some kind of palm. senses more like we’re holding our breath until the coming damn explosion, ” she replied, quailing as she flexed her hand.Vincent, who was perched on a depressed essence president, let out a dry chuckle." Palm? Sure, if we count surviving as winning. I am still feeling every pellet and bruise. What do we do now, also?" He stroked a new bruise on his jaw, his voice saying both prostration and a touch of affront.Lorne, his gruff, calm voice coming in from the other end of the room, where he was tightly dressing his own arm with a piece of new cloth." Next, we determine who among our own we can act

The News Spreads" Have you seen this caption?" Vincent's voice cut through the restrained hum of discussion in the emulsion's confined dispatch room." Headline?" Adrian inquired, rubbing sleep from his eyes as he leaned over a battered press." What now?Callum's dead. each over the damn news," Vincent replied, scrolling through a tablet with a mouse." Every channel, every point. It's like the world will not shut up about it."Flora shifted in her seat, her voice edged with disbelief." due? As in, really dead? You know Callum was a fighter, right? This can not be it.“ supposedly not, ” Vincent said, a hint of bitterness in his voice. “ But there’s more. I’m picking up whispers rumors that his network did n’t just evaporate with him. Someone, nearly, is keeping his operation alive in the murk. ”Lorne strangled from across the room, his tone kindly softer, however." I noway believed it would be that easy. The bastard had further tricks up his sleeve than a magician at a children's bir

Shadows of Adversaries" Adrian, hear that?" Vincent's voice repatriated in the low light of the command center, his words pigmented with both urgency and mistrustfulness." Yeah, I heard a tale on the line," Adrian said, leaning forward as he studied a live feed on a handheld device." It's hard to tell if it's stationary or someone trying to shoot a communication.".Flora intruded, her voice tense." I have heard the same. A hanging phone call, anonymous, something about' They are coming' Do you believe it?"Lorne lumbered from his corner chair." True or false, it's got us all rankled up. We can not go to take indeed a scuttlebutt on faith.However, we would know it now, If someone's watching our tails."Vincent frowned, reading through a sequence of cryptic dispatches." These are n't your average taunts. They are meant, targeted. Look at this bone. ' The huntsman becomes the hunted tonight.' It's as if they are trying to shoot us with enciphered communication."Adrian's tone dropped t

Decoding Faithfulness"Hear, I am not saying I do not get your reverse," Vincent began, his tone husky as he leaned against the broken wall of the common room." But occasionally I question whether I am fighting alongside you people or against you."Adrian's eyes turned cold." What the hell are you inferring, Vincent?" he rumored, his tone strained but low." We have been to hell together. You suppose I do not flash back your choices?"Flora tossed uncomfortably in her seat, her voice pulsing slightly as she went on," Each time you play the' you're above it all' card, I am reminded of those cases — of every treason, of every time that trust was traduced. It makes me wonder if you are the same man who dissatisfied us the first time."Vincent's jaw muscles flexed." I know I have done wrong. I know there are hurts that go deep. But I have been trying to do the right thing," he replied, his tone humorless but laced with frustration." I noway wanted any of you to misdoubt me, especially now.

A Dire Warning“ Hey, did anyone differently just get that? ” Vincent’s voice quivered slightly as he spoke into the comm- link, his tone low and critical.“ Get what? ” Adrian asked, leaning forward, his eyes locked on the blinking device in his hand. “ You sound like you’ve heard something intimidating. ”" It's a communication in law," Vincent replied, his voice catching on every syllable." It's not the usual ramble. I mean, read it —' The game is far from over. Prepare for the rush.' Who the hell sends something like that?"Flora intruded, her tone soft but pigmented with solicitude," That communication felt so cold. Like the existent was going out of their way to remind us our fight is not over yet. I could not shake the shiver it gave me."Lorne snarled in the background," Well, hell that is not assuring at all.However, also perhaps our adversaries are formerly cooking something over, If notoriety is issuing warnings. You all feel that too, yes?Vincent's tone sustained as he c

Echoes Of The History" Adrian, can I ask you something?" Flora's voice quivered as she leaned in, her voice softer than usual." Sure, Flora. What's it?" Adrian's voice was soft, conservative yet open.Flora dithered before speaking," Do you ever wonder about where we all came from? I mean not what we have done, but who we were before everything."Vincent, harkening in from the table next to them, cut in," You are getting philosophical now? I allowed us to be busy waging our wars out then."Flora smiled noiselessly," I am not being deep, Vincent. It's just occasionally I hear the ghosts of my history bruting in the gloamings. They remind me of a time when I was a little child, floundering to understand everything."Lorne moaned," Ghosts, yeah? Okay, also go ahead and tell us your ghost story."Flora let out a deep breath, her eyes far down." Fine, if you are each set to take a walk down memory lane, also hear.She took a slow breath."

Adaptability Assignments" Life, Flora, flashback when you told me your Pater was insurmountable?" Adrian spoke in a hushed, reflective tone, leaning back against the ad hoc table in their present safehouse.Flora's response shook with pride and also with anguish." Yes, Adrian. I flashback him saying to me,' No bone can keep a legionnaire down for long.' It was his war cry, indeed when the world around him was falling piecemeal." FlanovaVincent intruded," I heard him formerly, a glass of cheap whiskey to himself, and telling you that any reversal was just the launch of coming back. He was noway about palm — about getting back up no matter what knocked him down."Lorne let out a moan," Sounds like great inspiring steed crap until a healthy cure of reality slaps you around. But if he really did feel that way, also he sure got tested oppressively.".Flora's aspect softened at the recollection." He was, Lorne. I flash back him speaking with me on some cold night and telling me,' Flora, l

Paths That Diverge“ Flora, do you feel it too ” asked Captain Morales as he leaned over a table in the crowded strategy room, his voice hushed yet violent.Flora’s reply came in a measured tone, “ Every day, I feel the distance widening — not just between us, but throughout the pack. It’s as if our shattered bond has strained into every decision, every order. ”Adrian’s low voice fitted from the far side of the table, “ I hear you, Flora. The absence we created together now echoes in every corner of our species. I see it in the reluctant eyes of our soldiers, in the query of our strategies. ”Lieutenant Carter added still, “ When leaders are divided, the whole unit suffers. I can smell the ripple effect — fidelity falters, morale dips. It’s a heavy cost to pay for a broken history. ”Flora’s tone grew bent , “ I erected my identity on my own strength, but I can not ignore how important our separation has altered the veritably fabric of our pack. The dogfaces no longer see a unified f

A Hint Of Hope" Flora, did you get that communication?" Lieutenant Carter asked, his tone laced with dubitation as he handed Flora a crumpled note in the dimly lit briefing room.Flora's voice shook," Yes, I did. It's enciphered, but there is something about it that seems. particular. It says,' Flash back the dawn when stopgap was our companion.' Do you suppose it was from Command or someone differently?Lieutenant Carter lowered ," I do not know. But it's the kind of communication that reminds us of effects once — and perhaps new options."In the room's corner, Sergeant Daniels leaned in," perhaps it's time we stop hiding from what we used to love. Indeed in this dark place, there's a hint of stopgap to guide us if we'll seek it."Flora's eyes grew soft for an moment before returning to hardness," I flash back when stopgap was all we had. Adrian, do you flash back that night along the swash when we pledged that nothing could ever shatter us?Upon citation of his name, Adrian, who h

Silent Battles" Adrian, I feel like I am losing myself every day," Flora rumored, her voice pulsing as she leaned against a cold wave, essence table in the dimly lit barracks common room." Every night, I fight these internal wars alone, and I wonder if the offerings have been worth it.".Adrian's eyes, dark with remorse, locked with hers as he spoke in a low, agonized voice," Flora, I know I have burdened you with my guilt and my miscalculations. Every moment piecemeal from you is like an echo of the failures that I can not escape. I am visited by your absence, and every remorse is like it's leaving a deeper scar on my heart.".Flora's tone was protective, nearly brittle," And what of you, Adrian? Do not you believe that your soul is rent apart by the weight of your own guilt? I see you, day after day, tortured by the ghosts of what we formerly participated, and it only serves to broaden the ocean between us.".Adrian's voice quivered with despair," I am trying, Flora. I try to keep

Unanswered Prayers" Marissa, do you hear me?" Her voice quivered in the silence of the new base's mess hall, where every word sounded like an critical prayer." I am then, Marissa," replied Flora, her tone burdened with insulation." But I find myself wondering if these offerings are worth the ocean that now exists between us. Every day, I am wondering if I can ever fill this void."" Voices do not lie, Flora," broke in Lieutenant Carter, his voice deep and reverberative in the darkened room." We see the pressure on your face, the weariness in your eyes. You lead with a strength that's lesser than the insulation within you, but you carry regrets like chains."Flora soughed," Chains, yes. I flash back the nights when the silence was near blaring, when I misdoubted all the choices that had led me down from the man I formerly loved. Do you suppose a heart can endure so important loss?"Adrian's distant, withdrawn voice reverberated across the other side of the hallway," Flora, I — I did

Echoes of Regret" Adrian, do you ever flash back the way effects used to be?" Flora's voice was soft but pulsing as she spoke under her breath, her words not much louder than the steady jargon of drops on the windowpane.In the quiet of the barracks after curfew, Adrian was sitting on the edge of his bunk, his voice a tale as he started to recall a memory." I flash back that night by the swash," he said, as if speaking to a ghost." Flora, you were laughing, your eyes foamy like the moonlit water, and for a moment, the world was whole."Flora's voice came from across the room, a distant response," Yes, I flash back that night too. I felt so delivered that night, as if our hearts had no room for fear or anguish."Adrian's voice quivered with nostalgia," Do you flash back how we talked of our dreams, of freeing ourselves from the chains of our pasts? I swear, for one night it was as if nothing could ever tear us apart."Flora's voice was nostalgic and rueful," I flash back every pledge

A Void Unfilled" Adrian, it's late again," growled Corporal James as he passed the bedimmed mess hall, where Adrian sat by himself at a battered table. The distant soft murmur of voices from conversations slightly reached him as he reflected on his recollections." Every night is a penance," Adrian spoke under his breath, nearly to himself." I close my eyes, and there's only that we used to partake — Flora laughing, she believing in me."Private Reyes approached timidly. His voice shook when he asked," Sir, I know that you're distrait. Is it about her?"Adrian's eyes darkened with remorse." Yes, Reyes. Flora every day her absence is a void I can not fill. I flash back her smile, the glint in her eyes when she spoke of a future with me. And now, all that's left are whispers of what might have been.".Just also, Lieutenant Carter, who had been harkening from over there, cut in," Adrian, you are one of our top leaders. But it looks like the recollections of your history are importing on

Anguish's Aftermath" Adrian, I just can not get through one further day of this bleakness," Flora told Marissa late in the evening." Flora, I understand it hurts," Marissa rumored," but occasionally the hurting is the only substantiation we've that we formerly loved." I loved so important," Flora rumored with a bitter edge," and all I am left with is these injuries that will noway heal."Across the room, sparely furnished, Adrian's voice sliced in a low, agonized sound," Flora, I have reached out each day. Every time I call your name, it's like screaming into the void."Flora's response was low and distant," Your calls remind me of all the pledges you broke. I am sick of dwelling in the murk of your neglect."Adrian stepped closer, his tone cajoling," I am tortured, Flora — each moment without you is a discipline. I wish I could abolish the blunders, rewrite the history."" You can not brush it down, Adrian," snapped Flora." Every word that leaves your lips, every cringing entrety,

The Impracticable Choice" Flora, you are serious? You are asking for a transfer?" Lieutenant Hernandez inquired, his voice low as he leaned across the mess table, the clinking of spoons and shanks dying into a tense hum among the men.Flora's aspect was bent , her tone strict over the pulsing beachfront of emotion that pigmented each judgment ." Yes, Hernandez. I can no longer stay then suffocating in the weight of long- held prospects. I want a fresh launch — a new place where I can eventually be relieve of all that has tortured me."Captain Morales, having fitted himself into the exchange, frowned." But Flora, this choice is not simply one of leaving. It's about cutting away ties that may be pivotal to our concinnity. Why now?"Flora replied with acid," Because day by day, each order, each battle memorial rings with the pain I endured. I have had enough of being with my worth minimized only to the scars of my history.".Adrian's low, regretful voice spoke up behind a cluster of sol

A Divided HeartThe barracks were silent, save for the distant ring of armor and the stifled murmur of soldiers preparing for the ineluctable battle ahead. But in the sequestration of private diggings, two hearts were hurting in ways that no war could ever compare.Adrian sat at the edge of his hut, his fists intertwined in his hair, elbows pressed against his knees. The inviting burden of Flora's final words counted down on his casket, choking and grim. He'd fought against numerous foes, endured backstabbings, and survived fights that had left him battered. But all of those did n't compare to the agony of watching Flora drift down from him again.A knock on his door was conditional but pertinacious. He did n't look up." What?" His voice was gruff, its usual authority lacking.Marissa came in, arms folded, face impassive." You look like hell."" senses about right."She took a deep breath and stepped further into the darkened room." I do not know why I am then. perhaps I allowed you
