A Fallen Soldier

A SAD AWAKENING

SCARLETS POV

I rose up and stared at Daniel for a few moments his eyes, his eyes make me feel like I'm drowning yet not wanting to rise to the surface, I'd rather be lost in a ocean as long as it's his eyes, everything feels like a blur for only a few blissful moments then I blink a few times staring at him but now more as a deputy captain then a stupid teenage girl, he chuckles at me it's thick but soft, sickly sweet it's very different to me, a bitter laugh now leaves my lips and I can feel the disproving looks I'm getting from my captain and commander. I almost smirk as I stare at them both.

"What you lookin' at?"
They both sigh as Luke speaks up his hands on his hips.

"Welcome back, Thomson."

"Why, thank you,"

My tone feels and is meant to be sickly sweet, as I stand up, and my head feels like a mess again, spinning over and over until I'm almost sick, but someone grabs me by the waist from behind holding me in place making sure I don't fall I look down and I'm met with tinge hands a little darker then my own, Daniels I feel his breath close to my skin and he speaks his voice not a whisper but its also not the loudest.

"Take it easy, ve'll get moving shortly,"

I fight back a smile and nod. Everything feels like it's burning more like this electrifying feeling in my viens, but it was already there, just now more noticeable. He looks at his own hands he realises what he's doing and pulls back, and I chuckle.

"Entschuldigung"
My eyebrow rises.

"Entschuldigung?"

"It means, apologies."

I nod at that.

"Noted-"

"Can we focus?"

Commander Katzs voice cuts through us like a knife, and I nod again.

"Right, let's get moving"

ISABEL POV

Thank. God, to be honest I don't know what Luke would do without Scarlet from what I've heard their better as a team, well isn't everyone Luke has just explained to Scarlet everything that just happened and handed her dagger back to her she twirls it in her hand a few times before putting it back in her belt, I now feel, very weak, holding this shield up feels almost impossible I feel as through I might pass out myself and my father doesn't seem to care much until his head finally faces me his eyes widening a little as his eyes fall on me he walks over to me and speaks so softly it's hard to hear.

"Isabel you can stop holding it"
"I can't, this"
I say moving my eyes all around the purple shape that I've made.

"Is our only light, we almost lost Scarlet because of it"
my eyes fall to the Commander, Daniel, and Scarlet and then to the blank glassy eyed man before my eyes fall back on to ones exactly like my own.

"And we don't know if there are anymore unwanted surprises"
All my father can do is nod at me before he turns to the others then speaks.

"We need another way of getting

light, Isabel can't hold this for long"
They all give him a 'no shit' look before Daniel goes looking through his bag and then another voice speaks, a females.

"How bad is it issy"

I'm starting to sweat that is my answer. And Scarlet looked to be in deep thought before she grabbed the same rock that had her blood on it, and she eyed it for a moment like she didn't know what was really on it, before she pulled something else out from her belt pocket, Ferrous rod known as fire steel why did she have that? She placed the rock down before her eyes fall to Anderson again a new kind of look in them. trust. And that makes me smile just a little.

"You got anything cotton?"

She asked him and he shyly smiled before handing something white that I can't quiet see.
"Anderson bloody hell, please tell me you have more cotton then that"
He handed her more and she started to try and do something, light it.
