Entry 10

I walked into my room and shut the door. I was surprised to find a note on my bed. I picked it up and read it. It was a note from Spy, saying that classes would resume tomorrow. I sigh and put the note away. I take a look and my schedule that I had pinned onto the wall. After Soldier, it would be Pyro and then Scout. Then, it would repeat. I lie down and dreamed about life before I ran away...and the incident... I soon began to feel myself slip away before my thoughts were suddenly interrupted to the sound of Soldier banging on my door, screaming at me to wake up. "I'M UP!" I say, groggily. He stopped hitting the door and ordered me to get ready and to meet him in the training area. I glanced at the clock. 4:30 AM. Did I actually fall asleep? I grabbed my helmet and opened the door. I walked into the training area and found Soldier by the door that led to the battlefield. "Alright, maggot. You will follow my orders at all costs, got it?" I nodded, still half asleep. "If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight! Sun Tzu said that, pal, and I'm sure he knows a little more about fighting than you do. Today you'll be fighting like a real man! Here, take this shovel. It was my first weapon and it destroyed people by the hundreds! So put it to good use!" I slowly raised my hand. "What is it?"

"Um...battle doesn't start until three hours from now..." Soldier glared at me.

"I know that, girl, but I honestly expected that you would remember what we were going to do. "

"Is...it...training?"

"Yes, soldier, it IS training. Nonstop training until battle starts! For you at least. Meanwhile, I'll be watching for a while drinking my coffee!" He picked up a mug from a crate and took a sip of it. "Ahhhhhhh." I stared at him in disbelief as he put the mug down. "What are you waiting for? Get to work!"

We were the first two to be in the Spawn room and I was extremely exhausted. I was given a few pity looks from the others as I sat down on the bench, nearly asleep. "Mission begins in 30 seconds!" I rubbed my eyes, trying to keep them from closing. Pyro walked over to me and sat by me. He mumbled something to me, but I still couldn't understand. He hugged me, which, to be honest, surprised me. I begin to hear Scout laughing and I look up to see him looking and pointing at us. "

"Hey look! We gotta couple of love birds here! Haha!" No one paid attention to it, they either ignored it or rolled their eyes.

"Mrghfrr!" Pyro exclaimed. He shook his head and looked down. "Mmmrpgh crpyha drghya!" Scout walked away, still laughing but not as loud.

"Th-thanks for the hug Pyro," I told him. "And don't mind Scout. He's annoying anyway."

"Hey! I heard that!"

"I KNOW YOU DID!" Pyro chuckled.

"Mission begins in 10 seconds." I yawned.

"Well, let's go, I guess."

The alarm sounded and everyone came running out. Soldier yelled at me to follow him, so I did. Almost a few feet away from Spawn, he rocket jumped into the air, and I followed, still tired. I held the shovel in my hand as tightly as I could, but in the few moments that we were in the air, I lost Soldier. However, I did see the BLU Sniper in a little hiding place. However, he found me as well. Well, crap. I heard a gunshot and felt my head violently jerk back, my world now going black. I woke up in the Spawn room. Dangit! I died! I ran out and began to look for Soldier. As I ran through the battlefield, staying in the shadows, I saw how my teammates were doing. A lot of BLUs were falling because of the doc's ÜberCharge on Heavy. Pyro was currently burning someone to death next to Engie's level two sentry that put the poor guy out of his misery. I heard the announcement that we had captured the intelligence, however, the battle continued. As I found everyone else, I couldn't find Soldier. God damn this. I was just about to not give a crap and run through the battlefield when someone pulled me back. It was Spy. "What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Stay here and don't move. No matter what anyone tells you!"

"Why, though?! Spy, tell me!" A bomb went off by us and Spy pulled me back again.

"I'll tell you later. Just do what I say, alright? This is important!" And with that he left, leaving me alone in an alleyway. I backed away, deeper into the alley, before sitting down on the dirt and just watching from my horrible view of the battle.

An hour after the battle was over and the BLUs' victory, Medic called me in for classes.

I had barely entered Spy's Smoking Room when he quickly told me to follow him. Confused but hoping that this would explain what happened earlier, I followed him. We walked to the room that kept the enemy intelligence. Spy opened the case. "I took a brief look at zhe intelligence during zhe battle. Each team is required to have zhe same classes, a clone of us on each team. This goes for you, as well, mon amie." He handed me a folder that had a picture of me on the front. "In this folder, there is a plan to abduct you to make said clone. However, there is no rule saying how long the other team should go without this clone. It just says that they'll need it eventually. We'll need this small advantage and we plan on keeping it for as long as we can. Unfortunately, this folder says nothing about dates or times that this abduction might happen. We need you to be extremely careful for a while, oui? " I nodded. As I opened the folder, I saw more pictures of me in there with unintelligible words scribbled in the folder. I closed it.

"Okay...I'll be careful..."

"You have Pyro tomorrow, oui?" I nodded. "Good. The other team won't recognize you with that suit on. And they certainly wouldn't want to be caught on fire..." I grinned. "Now, mon amie, let's go back. We have a lot to catch up on and have already wasted time."

Dinner was normal, I guess. However, I did notice that the others were excited for something. I didn't ask what it was or why. Oh well, I'll find out eventually.
