Amidst the War

Panic.

April 26th.
"She has Linen! I know it!" Emersyn paced her room, panicking over her situation. "I didn't know Maddy was evil. But she wouldn't take Linen. They're good friends. She probably just needs some space, she'll be back." "Oh, c'mon. She knows I was just stressed. She'd be here. She took her." Ace wrapped an arm around her. "It's gonna be okay, baby." "No." Emersyn ran to her closet, grabbing her official military uniform, her gun, and her knives. "I'm going out to look for her. Come if you want, but if you don't I'm still going." "God, you're stubborn. I'll go, I don't want you to get hurt. But we need REAL shit. Not our assassin weapons. Lets go see Mr. Lee." She nodded.

"Mr. Lee?" Emersyn called out, entering their training room. "You're calling me by my official name? Whats wrong?" He asked. "I know Maddy took Linen. I'm not letting her die. Please." "No, that is a deathwish. You're already Maddy's biggest target. I'm not gonna let you get hurt or die. Just accept it. If she has Linen, she's probably already dead." Em gasped. "Fuck you. Me and Ace are going, with or without your approval. Now I was asking for your help to get real weapons, would you rather us fight an entire military with a pistol and no body armor orrr?" Lee sighed before agreeing. "Fine. But I'm sending an entire army if I'm sending you two. I'm not playing around with her." Ace nodded. "Yes sir."

Lee bent on a knee, holding his arms out for a hug. Ace and Em hugged him. "I hope I can return, sir." "I am so proud of you, Emersyn. I don't say it often, but you went from having no military skills, to being my best fighter, Ace right there with you of course. I hope everything goes okay." His eyes water. "Goodbye, Mr. Lee." She tightened her belt around her waist before walking out of the Caligan gates, rubbing her hand along the side until she passed.

"MADDY!" Ace yelled at he stormed into Maddy's camp. "You healed quick!" She was sat on what almost looked like a throne. "Is Emersyn with you? How I've missed her." "W-wait. Olive?" Olive was sat on her knees next to Maddy, cut up, bruised, and with a maid outfit on. "Oh, don't mind her. She's been taking care of our men." "Ace, please." "Where the FUCK is Linen." Emersyn screamed in a way that would curdle ones blood, as she ran in, gun in hand. "Why would I know that? Besides, I'm sure she doesn't want to speak to you." Maddy cackled. Em punched Maddy across the face, Ace pulling her back. "Tell me where she is."

"Wow, you really do want to know. Huh?" A psychotic laugh filled the air. Em looked up to meet eyes with Linen. She wrapped her arms around her. Linens eyes widened before she pushed her off. "No. Fuck off, would you?" "Wh-What? What'd Maddy do to you?!" "What'd she do? She freed me. I have a purpose here. I never EVER had one in Caligan." "Linen, you were only there a week." "Its Ms. Ormay to you. Lock them up, Lin-Lin." Maddy smiled. She pulled Emersyns hands behind her back. The army they brought entered quickly. Maddy blew a whistle, and the armies were met with each other, aiming their weapons. "Shit." Em fought and fought, trying to escape Linen, but their grip was strong. Em stood no chance. Cuffs were put around their arms. "Don't take Ace!" She yelled as she was walked away from Maddy. "Dealio! He can help me. Hi!" She smiled as she grabbed his arm, and motioned the chair next to her. He sighed before sitting.

Emersyn was walked to a dungeon, she had no clue where. She elbowed Linen in the stomach, knocking her to the ground, then straddling her. "Fucking stop, Ali. I'm armed. I will not hesitate to shoot." She flipped Em over, and dragged her by her hair to a cell. Emersyn's eyes darted from every inch of the room, trying to scout a way out of her situation. She had to be the hero. She was thrown into her cell, kicked further by Linen, until she was against the wall. "Stay. I'm sure you're a prize to Caligan, you could win us the war." Linen said, giggling. "Fucking traitor. I took you in, accepted you into our side. Should've known a nobody spy like you would betray me." She was met with a slap. Em yelped, but laughed. "Spooky. Wittle baby Linen finally decided to be aggressive. I know who you are." Em stood shakily. "You dont know shit." Linen kicked Emersyn hard in the gut, knocking her back down. "Spiked boots should be considered cheating." "Give me your arms." Linen said, motioning her to turn. She followed orders, Linen took the cuff one of her arms, cuffing it to the bed. "Fuck me, I can't move, Linen. Whats the point of this giant cell?!" "You're dangerous. You'll stay here until I deem you fit to go." "Whatever. Have you seen the state of Olive? You're okay with being on someone's side who treats your girl like that?" Em yelled as Linen began to walk away. "Wait, what? What happened to Olive?" "Did you not see her? She's covered in cuts and bruises." "Shit. I'll be back."

"Maddy, where the hell is Olive?!" Linen huffed, running towards. "Woah, woah, doll. Let's calm down. She just said she had to go for a walk. Go join her! You've done great today, soldier." Maddy smiled sincerely. "Thanks, Mads." Linen ran like lightning out of the gates, looking both ways down the trail before noticing Olive's distinct footprints, which had a medical cross on the bottom. "Yes." She followed them until she saw the girls black curly hair, as she stood on the other side of the railing on a bridge. "OLIVE!" She whipped her head around at Linen. "Lin... I- I'm sorry." She stepped one foot off the bridge, pushing herself off with the other. "NO!!" Linen ran, but Olive had fallen too far too be caught.
