"Aspen get your ass up." I groan. She rolls over and looks at me before taking the nearest pillow and throwing it in my direction. I side step, missing the pillow and proceed to rip the blanket off of her.
"We depart in less than 2 hours, you need to get up and get ready. I know how you are and we are not being late." I snap.
"Grumpy this morning are we?" She laughs.
"No, get up." Now is not the time for her games, I'm anything but calm this morning since I can't stop stressing about the upcoming trip.
Around 12pm we'll exit our sector on the north wing and head about 200 kilometers to an evolving station. It's not quite ready, but due to recent events our deployment couldn't be put off any longer.
"Would you like some breakfast?" I ask Aspen as I walk into the kitchen.
"Yes please!" She says before walking into the bathroom to comb out her long blonde hair. I search the fridge before settling on making some eggs and toast.
Fifteen minutes later we're sitting at her granite countertop eating as she stares at her food.
"Aren't you hungry?" I ask.
"I am, i just can't eat. All I can think about is how underprepared I feel. How can I fight them when I barely weigh 120 pounds?" She mumbles.
"Aspen, it's not about your physical abilities. Your mindset is how far you'll go out there. And besides you have me, okay? I'm not going anywhere." I answer her.
"But for how long Lissa? I can't always depend on you to protect me. I'm not a child, I'm supposed to be able to take care of myself. But honestly, I've never felt better about my abilities than I do right now, I'm just not sure it's enough." She runs her hand through her hair before standing and washing her plate. "I'm going to go grab my stuff, let's go." Just like that, and then we're off.

"Alright, everyone listen up." Krosin demands. "Due to recent agreements, I've been compelled to announce ranks." A few groan, while others make some hooting noises. "Now don't get too excited, this is a small platoon so all you'll have is one major sergeant, this person will be in charge and will make all final battle decisions. In addition, you'll also have a master sergeant, a position just as vital, this person has extreme leadership capabilities and will help the master sergeant to ensure discipline policies."
I let out a laugh at his over the top explanations and look over at Aspen who is in no way paying attention. I'm so caught up in trying to get her attention that I don't notice Krosin say my name until several people begin to look in my direction.
"Vasilisa Ivory, master sergeant. I have great hopes for her. She will do a great job." He grimaces, as I know he was forced to appoint me, and that it wasn't his decision. I let out a hell yes, he gives me a look before continuing.
"And finally, the major sergeant, highest in command will be Harry Styles." I see a few people turn and look at a boy nearby, he's very tall and has chestnut curls tucked into a red bandana. I almost don't recognize him until I see his green eyes meet mine.
"Pleasure to serve aside you." I say extending my hand to him.
"You also." He says in an English accent as his large hand shakes mine. I hold his gaze for a beat too long before I hear Krosin calling our attention back.
"Now privates, the road ahead is curved and bumpy. Keep your eyes open, you're about to face some great challenges." He gives a salute and everyone follows suit, he takes a step off stage and I hear Harry begin to speak.
"To the cars, we head out in 20 minutes." He declares.
"We aren't scheduled to leave for another hour." I hear someone say. Harry straightens his shoulders before giving the guy a look.
"I'm in charge now private, and I encourage you to be on time." He turns and leaves and I let out a quiet chuckle. Now this ought to be interesting.
Hey guys! Yes I know 2 updates in one week go me! Whoop whoop. I hope to set a schedule for updates on Mondays and Fridays. So you'll be seeing me more often. ;) (not literally but you get what I mean.)
