The location that was sent to me was pretty far. I walked for a few hours then hopped on a bus. I basically spend the whole day traveling because I lived near the cost of UK.

I was halfway there. With the saved money I had in my bank account, I slept for a few nights at a motel. In two days was my very first training and I continued my journey. When I arrived at my task force's base. I stared with awe, not only because of how big it was but it was also a whole new feeling. At last I felt free, I didn't feel trapped anymore.

I jumped with joy and made my way to then entrance of the base. I looked at the guy in his little box, who was in control of the gates. "uhh... excuse me sir?" I said hesitantly. He turned to me with a blank expression. "mhm." he answered. "I'm here because I was accepted." he turned around and typed into him computer. "Can I see some identification?". I fumbled in my bag and pulled out my ID card and handed it to him. He grabbed it through his window and held it in front of him while he typed again on the computer. "oh I see you are on our system, y/n... correct?"

"yes sir." I nod to him. He smiled at me "welcome." he opened the gate. "thank you sir, but I need directions to captain john's office". "of course, walk straight to the training field then you'll find the entrance to your right. Just walk straight in, his name will stand on the door." I nod and ran off to the field, but two other soldiers notice me.

"oi!" there was a soldier with a mohawk running towards me. I stopped in fear

"Whatcha up to las?" he put his hand on my shoulder as another soldier with a skull mask walked towards me. "I'm looking for captain John..." i spoke hesitantly.

"Oh ya mean price? Here in the military it's disrespectful to call someone by their real names." he giggled

"yeah ok..." my eyes flickered with fear between him and the masked guy. "can you guys take me to him?"

He smiled "sure! my name is sergeant Johnny Mictavish but call me soap, and the quiet guy behind me is lieutenant Simon Riley, but you can call him ghost."

I nod after his introduction, and walked into captain price's office as the two men followed me in.

"sit down." captain price commanded all of us. We took our seats and waited for price to speak. "so I'm assuming you're the new recruit?"

"correct, sir."

"whats your reason for joining the military."

"for respect and freedom, sir."

"you don't have to say sir after every sentences." he chuckled

"okay, sir."

"so you say you're here for respect and freedom, huh? So I'm guessing you come from an abusive home?"

"no, sir. Neglectful home."

Price picked up a file and wrote in it. "this is your file, i need you to full the rest in and then you can go to your barrack."

I took my file from price.

"Don't worry, these lovely two gentlemen will show you where your barrack is."

There was nothing gentle about these men... I took my papers and followed these two men to a room full of bunk beds.

"this is your bed las." soap pointed.

"Is this your first time joining" ghost spoke loudly.

"Yes, sir" I jump

"Ok so this is how it's going to work. Your curfew is 9 o'clock and you wil wake up at 5 in the morning. You will be on the training field at 7 sharp to start your training, got it!?"
