,,-starshine..?"
,,-.. Pink..? What..what are you doing here?!.."
,,I-..i m sorry..for everything..i m really..really sorry,i-..I love you,i don t want to leave you"
,,-...pink...i.."
..ge wasn t wearing his mask..The arstotzkanian observe everything about him in great detail
,,-I missed you so much,I-"
,,-..Vladimir..? Vladimir,wake up,we have to go"
..Just a dream..
..but everything fekt so real..He coukd swear he coulf still feel his presence..and the smell of mint and motor oil..black..motor oil..
...He got oyt of sergius bed-they let him sleep there while Viktor slept on the couch and sergiu on the floor...
Chalenks left the room and went outside..Probably to smoke among Sergiu.
..He really limed smoking.
Nonetheless,vladimir took the clothes Sergiu showed him yesterday..Kolechian clothes.
He ruffled his hair a bit,put his bag on his back and went outside,joining them
,,-..How did you boys sleep?" Asked vladimirs beloved general
,,-..dreamed about elisa again"
,,-..You dream about Elisa?"
,,-...In this house i dream about ger the most..It was our house..our home..I either dream of her or have nightmares about loosing her"
,,-..oh"
..pershaps the warming presence of someones soulmate made vladimir dream of his...
..Inventor ..aswell.
..The frail blonde arstotzkanian tought about what his general dreamed ...if it was someone he lover aswell
,,-..What about tou,vik?" Asked sergiu ..
..But the general didn t hear him..he was staring in the diatance..his hair was swifly blown by the wind
..he had a glimse of light in his eyes
...Vladimir recocized that look..it was the same one Pink had whenever they would have ..a moment
,,-..Did you dream about your crush,sir?"
The general twitches as he turns his view towards vladimir
,,-W-What?!.a..acrush,m-me?!..Do you even hear yourself vladimir?!"
,,-...S-..sorry,sir,i was just thinking.."
,,-..It s..alright..We should get going"
The next hours?..They remained blured for Vladimir.
..Glimses of himself walking along the dark forest..Some vague details about crossing the boarder..giving some insepctor the papers sergiu gave him..
..Then..ariving in kolechia.Finally crossing the boarder.
..Each step made that country look cheaper and more poor...
Never the less,he continued walking,with each broken pice of country getting his head more and more out of the clouds
,,-..we have to be carefull..we re ariving in war teritory..Let s hope they aren t doing anything because we have to go trough there."
,,-..we..have to?"
,,-..Yea..But we ll have alot of cover place..If anything happends to any of us..the rest that remain shoukd get in contact with Shae to understand what to do next.."
,,-..Don t say that sergiu..We ll all get out of there unharmed"
Sergiu nodded
,,-we can t be sure,vik..."
...without saying another words,the 3 men start going foward..They hear a loud thud
...a bomb is trown as some ..soldiers run from.their cover
They didn t arrive earli enough.
..sergiu sights
,,-...follow my lead.. whatever you do,hear or see,don t stop..and just follow me..If i fall,take cover and try your best to survive"
Then he runs forward..hides behind a fallen wall,and waits a bit
The others take his lead.
..it was chaos..
..tall kolechian soldiers with big heavy shield mask where fighting ..soldiers from the order..With vlack masks with the blue simbol on them..and some protecting clothes.
Vladimir was following his general and sergiu the best he could when-
...a memebers mask fell off..
..he couldn t belive his eyes
..the man with the fallen mask had
. ..pink hair..and colur on his eyes..
..he quikly took it back befoure shooting another kolechian soldier in the heart..
,,-p-..pink.."
..he was frozen kn his tracks.
..the inventor turn yowards him, hearing his name ..He was frozen aswell in..what vladimir assumed to be shock.
..then..?
..a rain of blood poured from his leg as it god cold..he was shot by someone.
,,-Come on vladimir! "
..he could barely take his eyes off his..old friend..and walked as fast as he could with all the shock and the shot leg after him.
...so that was the secret?
..His beloved..pink..his dear soulnate,his..
.. ligh.
..Was from the force he fought all along..?
No..no it couldn t be..how could that even make sense..?
..how dis the general found out so late..?
..why did he wanted to help..?
..was everything fake?
..did he really needed that bond just ..for some shit from the order..?
..was pink actually not from Federation..But from either ewst Kolechia or west Arstotzka..?
...
,,-..Vladimir are you alright..?"
,,-..wgat..?"
,,-You were absent for the last dozens of minutes..you were just walking robotically..running and dodging..your mind was Somewhere else"
,,-...oh..no..no,i..i am good.."
