Chapter 5 Revelations of the Past Part 4

=i slam my head against the door=
Dammit...why did I get angry? Why did I doubt her? Why did I do that?

=i slam my head again=
Idiot...she's gone, and she hates you right now.

Dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit! I'm sorry Jay, if I could take it all back, I would. I never meant to say it like that...

"Dormii, hitting your head against the door and screaming, isn't going to get her back here......It'll probably just knock you out." I stand on the outside of the door.

=I awake in a daze, holding my head=

I needed.. that...

=I wobble over to my helmet and knife which lay next to eachother=

=Ash woke up raising her head the ringing in her ears subsiding, she clutches her head=
Draco..?

=She looks around the cell noticing she had been moved=
What happened...?

=She slowly got up limping over to the cell doors, her bruise appear even worse than before=
Hello..?

=She calls out hearing no one, she looks down sighing to herself=
Alone again...

=I try to get up but I fall into one of the empty cell doors=

Ok.. I got this...


=I stand up straight still wobbley=

"I guess Dormii knocked himself out." I look to the other cell. "You must be that Spartan in the training yesterday?"

I look down at the ODST and get on my radio. "Kirby, you there?"
"Sup sir?"
"Mind coming to pick up this ODST?"
"Got ya"

No, no Staff Sergeant... I am good..

=I try to reach for my comm to see it is missing..=

Wha..

=I look down and pick it up off the floor=

=She stares at the man through the bars on her cell=
Is this another one of Jay's ''trainers''?

=She holds onto the bars to help her stand as she slowly nods at the man, she ask nervously=
Who are... You?

=As soon as she hears Snow's voice she retreats to the back of her cell, not saying anything=

"Cpl. I got my man running down here already."

I look at the cell. "My name is Staff Sergeant Knox. I was assigned to come and protect the ship with the rest of the squad. And I'm guessing you are Ashley Cole...correct?"

(He wakes up slowly)
(The memories of the night consuming him)
(He looks at the bed)
(Empty)
(He sighs and stands up)

I could have stopped Jay

(He looks at the dried blood)

If I wasnt asleep

=I stand up straight as I regain my balance=

I said I got it, Sergeant.

=I sheath my knife=

=She continues to stare at the man from the back of her cell, listening out for Snow=
I can't do this... I can't... If he makes me train again... What will I do...

=She nods her head at the man still listening out for Snow=

(He looks at the door)

Idiots left it unlocked.

(He sighs)
(He goes over to the bed and sits down)

"Cpl....Shut up. If I wasn't walking pass last night. You wouldn't be talking right now. Go with Sgt. Kirby and get your body checked out."

Fine..

=I point to him as Sergeant Kirby takes me away=

You might want to stay away from the cells a bit

"Thanks for the tip Cpl."

I look at Ash again. "If you think I'm going to shoot you in the leg? I'm not."

(He hears a familiar voice through the window)
(The voice from last night)

You better not

=She sighs returning to her bed, inspecting her wounds=
I don't know what do to..? What can I do from in here...? How could he... He attacked me when I couldn't defend myself..

=She glances back to the cell door, watching Knoxx=
Why is he down here..? What are they going to do..?

=She stands up again speaking nervously=
Then... What are you here for..?

"I'm down here to make sure that one of the Spartans down here, dosn't try and kill someone. And I'm on patrol."

=She laughs limping closer to the door=
Then why are you talking to me..? Does it look like I can hurt anyone..?

"Well, I heard your name a couple of times last night. So, kinda wanted to now why."

Last night..?

=She tilts her head in confusion, reaching to cell door=
Do really want to know what happened...?

=I get inspected=

I told you.. I am fine.. just a couple of bruises and scrapes.

=I put my helmet back on and begin to return to my post=

"Would be nice."

=She drops her head looks down at her wounds before looking back to the man=
I... I was shot.. By Jay... She's a Spartan in charge of this ship, then left to bleed out... When she came to her senses she came back and helped... What little it did help...

=She leans against the wall to keep herself upright=
Then... I was dragged out by Snow, the man who's in charge of our training... He deafened me...

=She stops herself, talking very quietly ashamed=
Then... He beat me... I couldn't even walk... And Jay just watched...

(He speaks loudly)

Nothing but a monster.

=I reach the cell area again and say nothing=

=I sit down on the bench=

"Sounds like a couple of O.N.I operatives to me.....Crazy O.N.I operatives. It's part of there mission."

=She shakes hear head returning to her bed=
How could he understand...

=She continues to stare at the cell door=
How did we get split up..?

=I stand up=

Sergeant. Dismissed.

"Don't get your ass kicked again ODST."

=I give out a careless chuckle=

Right.

=i wake up, trying not to think of Jay, of what I said to her. i stand and turn around. i continue to glare at Snow=

=She shakes her head looking back at her wounds, nothing but shame in her eyes=
Please... Don't come to me... I can't do it again....

(He looks at the door)

Despite all my rage. Im still just a rat in a cage

(He sighs)

I need to see her, I need to talk to her

(He looks around)

Least I can do is give her some more time

Hey Snow. Lets do some Training

=I turn to Draco=

Negative.

=I go to a control panel and shut off the cameras in Ash's cell=

@Snow
Aww come on.
Why not.

(He tilts his head)
(An evil smile on his face)

Or you can at least let me see Ash.

=i look at Draco, gesturing to if he can open his door=

(He looks at Dormii and nods)

@Snow
Please. Let me see Ash.

=I walk into Ash's cell and lock it behind me=

=I unsheath my knife=

@Snow
I SWEAR TO GOD SNOW.
IF YOU HURT HER I WILL NOT HOLD BACK.
I WILL NOT STOP!

=Ash watches Snow enter the room, unable to move in fear=
What the hell are you doing!?

=She stares at the knife in his hands=
No...

=I flip the knife so that I hold the blade and walk closer to her=

=i see part of whats happening in Ash's cell. i look to Draco=

Draco, he has a knife.

=She continues watching the knife trying to move away from him=
What are you doing! Put the knife down! Stop!

=She limbs into a corner of the room, the fear almost paralysing her=
There's nothing I can do... I have nothing to defend myself with... He locked the door... what the hell can I do!

=after landing on the prowlers hull makes his way to the hangar and activates impact mode to remove part of the door to get inside=

(Rage begins to fill him once more)
(He feels the pull)
(He stands and opens the door)
(He rushes over to Ash's cell)
(He tries to open it)
(Locked)
(He screams)

SNOW!

=I try to put the knife into Ash's clenched hands=

Here.

=I step back=

It is your turn.

I hear metal being pulled apart. And I look up at hanger, so those the rest of the Marines there. And we see a man pulling the part of the door. I grab my rifle and point it up. "HOSTILE FIRE, FIRE!" A large amount of Rifles open up on the figure.
