The Archers Mark (on hold)

The Nurse

Cindys pov.

I watched with awe as Commander Star left us and ran down the wooden bridge.

I saw her face!? I totally saw her face! She has eyes! She can see, Oh my gosh and earlier I asked how did she see. Ug I'm so stupid. I thought to myself.

As these thoughts swarmed in my head, I looked around frantically, "I need to find Flames!" I exclaimed scaring poor Piers who was staring in aw as well.

Flames needs to know that Commander has scars and the rumors of her being eyeless or blind are fake.

Piers looked at me with big sad brown eyes and sighed "Why does she have to have so many scary scars?" He whined kicking the dirt as he did so.

I shook my head in disgust at his words and looked around the pillar seeing most of my fellow recruits sitting down bandaging up the wounded from Commander Knives division. I made a nasty face at the sight of my fellow recruits having to fix up the supposedly better members. I didn't believe that we should have helped them because they didn't stop and take the time to listen to what Commander Star had to say they just, jumped and failed.

"That doesn't matter right now Piers," I stated still half listening to him.

He looked at me "It doesn't? Then what does?" He asked. I looked down at him
Surprisingly he was only about an inch or so shorter than me, but still short. I gave him a knowing look "Telling Flames, Sha, and the others about Commander having eyes is." I stated.

He shook his head and walked over to the wooden bridge "I think Commander doesn't want people to know (he had to stop to catch up with my strides) or else we would have seen them already." I ignored him and waved over to Sha who was wrapping some persons arm in a white bandaged.

"Oiiiiii Sha! Come here." I called. She looked up at me and nodded giving me a one minute sign.

I turned and looked at Piers. "No that's dumb." I stated. He gave me an evil glare and I stared at him back. We were stuck in a staring contest. I kept staring till finally someone touched my shoulder.

"Gah what?!" I jumped and yelled causing everyone to look at me. I quickly gave them all glances and fixed my armor, I was wearing full body like Sha and the other recruits.

I focused and saw it was Sha who had tapped my shoulder, "you ok? You called me."

I nodded " I'm fine. Girl guess what?" I said eagerly.

I heard Piers mumble "We're gonna die." I turned and looked at him "Sush." Sha tilted her head and smiled pointing at us "Y'all two together now?" She asked.

I took a step back and placed my hand on my chest, "Me!?(I looked back and forth) Him!?"

Piers burst out laughing and said "Ha I rather die then go out with her." He stated. I stopped and looked at him "What the fuck does that mean?" I asked. He gave me a small look and pointed to the wooden bridge "Ima go hide."

"No you wont, all of you in Stars lousy division front and center!" Commander Knives commanded.

We all instantly filled in line from tallest to shortest, Sha and I where behind Knives who was a step up above us and then it went others in the division (which where all Teenage Girls 17-19) then Piers last. We looked down like we where supposed to, it was rude to look a commanding officer in the eye and stood still as could be. The Commander before Star  was very forceful about this rule of not looking the commanders in the eye. Even Star asked that we didn't look in the eyes.

Knowing from what I hear from the others in the barracks. Commander Knives must be way worse about the same rule.

I saw Commander Knives metal guarded feet walk up and down our line of recruits. "Due to your Commanders." she paused "We'll lack of better words Insubordination she has been taking to the Pit where she well be severely punished," Her voice almost showed a smile that I bet was on her face.
