I look over to where we just ran from. Something told me those guys were pissed and I'm not volunteering to find out.

"Nice work guysnow let's catch up to the others." Landon said, he didn't look faze by what just happen and honestly we were not even going to talk about it.

We steadily walk to the location. While the others walk away I stood watching as the smoke escape the cave like a flood, but a figure moved fast like the wind and it was gone.

Out of breath.
Heart pounding.
Even the adrenaline seize to
slow down.

We all gathered meeting up with the other group. My thoughts played with me whatever that training was, it got near death experience all over it.

But what to expect.

Marines.

The deadly silence pinched my ears, bo one made a sound even when we reached the camp grounds, not a sound.

"Ahhh fuck, fuck, fuck!." Jackson surprise us all, he went to a near by tree and punched it. No one dared to stop him.

Honestly we all were feeling that way but what's the use it's not like it will change anything.

Footsteps could be heard by the crunching of twigs and dry leafs. General Grey presented himself in front of us as always, a serious look marked his face.

"You all look like hell." He said lowly while his voice came to a high pitch at the end almost giving me a heart attack.

"You all pass ladies." He said with a sharp glare pointing at us, "Go clean up, training is over." He turns around leaving.

"That Bastard almost got us killed." Jackson snapped one more time as soon as the general was out of sight, while giving the tree another hit. Frank pulled him away heading in the bunkers.

"Is it just me or this training was more than what it seems." He scoffs out with curiousity in his tone as he walks off following the others.

But he was right, that training put all our lives on a run for our money.

"What's the use thinking about it, that's a taste of a real situation." Connor said behind me always sounding annoyed at the world. "Don't be a baby when your wearing that uniform." He walks off leaving me alone it didn't help that ye was right.

Yeah I might be a little bit of a baby, but he dosen't know the scars and memories I have to carry around day in and day out. The emotions that have been hurt time and time again, at th hands of the one person who was supposed to protect from people like him not be an abuser. And just like that all the ugly and unwanted memories come rolling in like a wave on the ocean. And I can't help the few tears that escape from my eyes.

Come on Maddie you have to be strong!.

I mentally yell at myself as I try and fan my eyes with my hands to cover up that I was crying.

As if on cue a wolf howl sounded.
I ran after Connor's departing back.

♤♤♤

I lay in bed, my thoughts kept playing me ever since I haven't seen Damion and that shadowy figure back in the woods.

Deep down I i know it was him but why do I feels sad all of a sudden.

The lights were off the men feeling exhausted after everything that happened.

And furthermore we never received a thank you from the other group.

Assholes.

I decided to go out for some fresh air, if I was ever caught out here probably would be put to 50 laps around the field.

I sigh as I watch the stars shine, with no trace of imperfectio, I have always envied the sky, at day it's blue shine with white clouds giving glow at night it's pitch black with little lights shining through.

I felt a tear slide down my cheek, I lift my hand to wipe it but I stop myself. I just let the tears flow.

From my mess of a life.

To my deceiving of others.

I fell to the ground my legs weak, I wanted to scream but I know that I shouldn't.

I finally wipe my tears, my vision clear, I guess my body wanted to go here.

I look up at his door, I was knealed down at his door step.

I don't know how I end up back in bed in the bunker but all I can say is that I'm here.

♤♤♤

My shallow nerves I got up without the sound of a drill alarm or anything and believe me when I say that made me nervous.

I check the calendar wondering if I miss something, but no graduation is tomorrow.

Then can someone explain why I'm the only one here.

As if on cue Jackson races in as if a child in pure happiness followed by Connor with his unbreakable steel look on his face.

"Good your up." He said coming to my side, Jackson was always happy but he made me nervous right now.

"What's going on?." I said still trying to toughen my voice a little thought I just got up.

"We got a day of fun activities planned." Connor said in mock excitement, a giggle left my mouth as I see Jackson's expression.

"Now your just being rude." He said like as mother to child.

I laugh even louder at the way Connor glared at him but Jackson only brushes it off while putting his arm across his shoulder.

"So get up and get already."

Connor shakes his head when Jackson ran out the same way he came in. He exited following suit.

I laugh at their departure.
