"Alexander." muttered Alexandra, before she took off on a sprint to base, Adom hot on his heels. The only thought in Alexandra mind was her new family. She couldn't let them get hurt, she had to find them before Alexander did.
"Alexandra wait!" Adom tried to make her stop. Alexandra was running to the Gard were everyone seemed be going to - all the younger kids were being guided the opposite way. She knew Prea and Win would want to fight, and if the fight seemed to be coming from there, then that's exactly were they will be. "Alexandra!" Adom took hold of her hand, stopping her from moving any further. Alexandra pulled her hand back, Adom letting her after realising what she has done. "I'm sorry. Ale-"
"Don't." She gritted through her teeth. "I understand you don't want me to go in there. But Win and Prea could be in danger. My whole family could be, and I will not cower back just because it's Alexander."
"Your family wouldn't judge
"Were have you been?! We've been looking everywhere for you!" Alexandra was surprised at how worried he was but then gestured to Adom and Mike seemed to understand. Mike looked around in confusion. Alexandra could get a better look at him. His hair was messy and the hair that fell on his forehead had some blood on it. His mouth had dried blood, and his shirt was dirty with blood all over especially in a small area where Alexnadra was sure Mike used to try to wipe the disgusting blood on his mouth. Alexandr felt a pang of pity for him. Mike never wanted to be parts this type of situation."Why aren't we being attacked?!" He screeched. Standing protectively on Alexandra other side as he watched the cursed army pass them by."Alexander most likely gave them orders not to hurt Alexandra." Adom said. Not breaking his concentration from the danger around them."Well, I hope you don't mind me staying with you
Flashback:-Prea woke up in an empty basement. There was no light. No windows. She didn't feel scared, only alarmed to her surroundings. That was until she remembered what happened. Ashly.Just when she stood up, a heavy metal door squeaked open and a light was dimly lit. The lightbulb hanging from the roof on a wire. Yanayn pushed Ashly in before leaving, closing the door behind him. The latter groaned and tried to stand on her knees."Ashly!" she threw herself beside her and helped her to a sitting position, though she was mostly leaning on her, unable to hold herself up. She checked her bestfriend dirty and tear stained face. "Your eyes..." she muttered. The Iris of Ashly eyes had little specks of black and his Sclera looked a light - almost pink - red. "What happened?" She shook her head. Throat dry from screaming after the torture she had endured.Aahly had woken up tied
Flashback continue:-Prea knew what Ashly meant. She might die if she didn't call Ashly's brothers, and she couldn't risk that. Ashly didn't see it that way, and her heart felt like it was being ripped apart. She was willing to die if it meant her brothers coming and rescuing them. If Prea survived, to her nothing else mattered. Prea couldn't let that happen though. She pressed the phone number and called. She heard it ring once, twice, thre-"Hello?!" Man voice sounded rushed and troubled. "Who the hell is this?! I swear if it's a prank I will find out who you are and kill you! This is hardly the time and you got me in a very very bad moo-""Man." Prea tried to sound as normal as she could."Prea!! Where are you?! Is Ashly with you?? I've been worried sick looking everywhere for you! I was on my way to get help from the others !" Prea felt guilt build up ins
Present:-Sucides are seen as dishonorable deaths by the officer's. In the case of the young officers, he had a proper death ceremony.Alexandra had learned the young boy has a family and love once like him. His big brother wanted to put them out of his misery and then turned his gun on himself. But that was not all. Before young had gone after his family he saw his little sister, Sofia - the little girl with dark brown eyes- running around in the Hall. He tried to get to her, but he was too late. He saw his little sister - his only sibling and family left - die, and then he had killed his young brothers. Alexandra felt an immense respect for him. He lost so much in one night, if Alexandra had been in his place, he would probably have done the same."There's nothing you could've done." Adom said. Alexandra ignored him. She didn't feel like talking. Young man and Sofia's ceremony
Alexandra sat beside Prea with Pheuk on her other side. She would prefer to sit beside adom but he was in his Representative chair. The meeting had started 15 minutes ago and it was the slowest meeting of all. No one felt comfortable in the Hall, two soldiers died just two hours before and even though the floors had been cleaned and the bodies cleared. It still felt dirty."Alexander has to be stopped!" Yelled another man Alexandra didn't care about. It was the 12th time she has heard those exact words through the whole meeting."Maybe we should turn in the girl, she was his Donna his wife she needs to go back to him!" Screamed someone else. That caught everyone's attention. Alexandra could see Adom sit up straight in his chair. His bored look changed into one of anger."Absolutely not!" He barked. His voice echoed through the silent room. Alexandra stretched her hand to grip Prea but she mo
Win marched to Prea. He had been in a heated argument with a man he didn't care to know his name. He was the first who suggested turning Alexandra in to Alexander and to say Win was pissed is an understatement. When he saw a look of surprise cross the man's face Win had noticed people were quieting down. He had turned around to find Pheuk trying to pull Alexandra back but the other girl was stronger."What is he doing?!" He hissed at Prea. Prea paled, looked once into his eyes and turned back to Alexandra."It's okay." She said. "It's the only way."Typical. Win thought. Of course she wants to be a martyr for the sake of all of us. Curse your selfless heart Alexandra. Win will not let Alexander get close to Alexandra, if it's the last thing he ever does."Alexandra." Adom voice was loud and strong. "Stay out of this.""This is my decision to make Adom, not yours." E
"Win, please take your friend out of here." Samantha said, her eyes were closed and she breathed heavily."But ma'am-!" Alexandra tried."Enough Alexandra!" She yelled at her, then her attention went to the crowd. "We are officer's! We do not sacrifice our own. We stand tall and proud, we will fight and defeat Alexander at all costs. Alexandra stays. If we want to win this war.." She looked directly at Alexandra. There was something in the way she looked at her that scared her. It was like she knew something about her that she herself didn't. "We will need her to lead us. She's our only hope." Alexandra paled. She didn't want this. She's fine with turning herself in. This, the many pairs of eyes staring intently at her, trusting their lives and the lives of their children, family, friends. It's too much. She can't defeat Alexander. She doesn't believe she can."I- I can't." She shuddered. "I can't do it."
The meeting was declared over. Samantha and Dean were going to take care of the gurd incident. They didn't want to send anyone out of city to follow after him in fear that more of them will be caught by Alexander army. Supposedly, they wanted to contact the other for help and to keep an eye out for the local gangs. Since they already had been informed about the some are going to betrayal, everyone was steering away from them. Some fights have even broken down between the local gang in the civilian.It was dangerous to leave any of them free. The guard could go back to their enemies and tell them anything she could use against them. But it was even more dangerous to get out of city. Now more than ever, officer's need to stay together.That doesn't mean Alexandra, Win or Prea liked the thought of him running around free. Win offered to go look for him but of course he wasn't allowed to.Alexandr
