Chapter 5 Revelations of the Past Part 3

Do you want to eat, or not?

=I walk in=

Because dying by hunger is one of the worse deaths.

(He looks back at Snow)
@Snow
I said.
Go.
Do not make me repeat myself.

=Ash mutters under her breath=
I would rather die then fight again...

=I sigh and drop my head=

Very well...

=I turn around and go to close the door=

Ash. I am sorry.

=I lock the door=

He doesnt understand.
His apologies mean nothing.

(He looks at Ash)
@Ash
Ash. I need to tell you something.
Do not get angry.
It will hurt. It hurt me when I found out.

=I sit at the bench and begin to eat my breakfast=

=She looks up at him, confused=
What do you mean? What are you talking about..?

@Ash
Its Jay.
She is here.
She is an undercover ONI agent.
She was sent to gather information on us and send it back to them.

=I try to ignore what Draco is saying=

=I try to eat my food normally=

"Staff Sergeant Knox." I looked to the other side of the range to see my LT. "Yes sir?"

"You are tasked to find and escort a UNSC Prowler. I will give you and your men your own for now, I want you to find there's, and escort it back, you got me."

"Got you sir, armed and ready?"

He nods and walks out.

"Alright boys, get some shud eye, and be ready in 14 hours. MOVE!"

What..?

=Her faces drops, she stands up=
Jay? Oni..? No... It can't be...

(He stands and walks to her)
@Ash
Im sorry.
So sorry.

(He goes to hug her)

=She pushes Draco away staring at him=
No...? What do you mean? She works for Oni..? Its not true..? All this time....

=Her eyes go blank=

(He drops his head)
@Ash
It is.
She told me herself.

=I slide open a latch=

I guess it is better to learn by her instead of someone else.

=She shakes her head, look away from Draco=
All that time... Everything we did... It was all lies... Her and Snow...

=She snaps her head back to him=
Wait? What about Dormii?! Where is he?

=She ignores Snow's comment=

Last I saw, he was in the mess hall.

=I interrupted her.. bad idea=

(He looks up at Snow)

What is with him

=She sighs walking over to the cell door where Snow stood=
Just leave us alone... Haven't you done your part... We don't want to see you...

=Her mind went back to the thought of Jay=
Why..? How could she do that...

(He walks back to the bed)
(Sitting down)

This.
Is just too much.

Yes, Ma'am

=I close the latch and continue to sit down=

=She drops back to her spot on the floor, placing her face back into her hands=
I can't believe this... It feels so unreal...

=Her eyes darken as she thinks about what will happen next=

(He sits on the bed silent)
(Not knowing what to say)
(Not knowing how to comfort her)
(Useless)

=Ash runs her hand through her hair, she speaks under her breath again=
What do they want from us....

@Ash
To fight.
They want us to go into rehab.
Then return us to the war.
We are still of value to them.
We are nothing but soldiers in thier eyes.

=The Colonel comms me and tells me to bring the Spartans to his office=

Yes sir.

=I open the door=

Follow me, please.

=She looks at Snow standing in the doorway=
What now? Didn't I tell you to leave us alone?!

I am sorry, Ma'am. Please, follow me.

=I gesture out the door=

Why?

=She stares into his eyes, anger building inside her=
Who are you? Why should I listen to you?

=I stand firm=

I am Corporal Snow of the 150th ODST battalion, Serial number 1392. Now, with me.

=She laughs at Snows actions=
You sound like you just got out of boot camp...

=She turns back to him, staring him down=
You didn't tell me..? Why?

=I look at Draco=

I can't tell you that here. Do not make me forcibly remove you, Ash.

=I look back at her=

=She laughs again=
I'd like to see you try...

=She thinks to herself for a moment=
Can you even begin to understand?

Ash, please, don't make it harder then it should be.

=I begin to push her out of the room=

What...? Harder for you..? What the hell are you talking about...

=She looks back to Draco as she's being pushed out the room=

Ash, I may be on the wrong side of the fence.. but you are a nice person.

=I begin to direct her out of the room=

Nice enough to deserve this..?

=She sighs to her self=
You couldn't understand what we've been though... What its like...

=She allows herself to be removed from the room=

(He stands walks over to her)
(He whispers)
@Ash
It will be okay.
It will.

=I close the door and lock it=

I realize it is hard for you. I am sorry I can't help you.

=We begin to walk down the halls=

But, sooner or later I am sure you can be free. This war will be over.

=She rolls her eyes frustrated with Snow's attitude=
War will never be over... If we live through this... Its back to killing ourself's...

=She continues walking muttering under her breath=
I can't believe your so naive...

(He walks at her side)
(Looking around)
(Marking areas)
(Counting Soldiers)
(Trying to come up with a plan)

=Put my arm around her=

Of course the war will be over. I hear that they have found another one of those Halo things. And they will make a new breed of Spartans.. if they have the money...

=I turn around to see Draco following=

Excuse me.. please get back in the room.

@Snow
One. Get your arm off of her.

Two. Wherever she goes I go.

Get it through your mind

=I remove my arm and try to say in a calm voice=

I am sorry, soldier, get back to your cell.

=I guards become a bit aware=

(He sighs)
@Snow
I told you soldier.
Even though I am a prisoner.
I still outrank you.
I am going with her.

=She looks back to Draco=
I's okay... Just go back.. I'll meet you there...

=She smiles at him=

(He looks at Ash)
@Ash
Okay.

(He kisses her)
(He turns and goes back)

=I back away from Draco=

Thank you.

=I keep my hand on my knife and me and Ash continue to walk down the hall=

=She watches him walks back before turning to Snow=
Don't make me regret that...

Don't worry, I won't hurt you.

=I smile under my helmet=
