Chapter 4

Camilla's pov

"20..21..22..23..24..25..26..27..28..29..30" I exhaled as I did my last sit-up. I went to the kitchen and got a bottle of water out of the fridge. I usually start my mornings with a work out, it keeps me energized and in shape for my job. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket and checked it to see I had a text from Lucas, I sighed another day another mission. I stripped out of my sports bra and sweatpants and went to take a quick shower. I got out dried off and put on my leather bodysuit that I wear underneath my armor, I slipped my boots on and grabbed my jacket and headed towards the door. 

"meow" 

I stopped in my tracks and turned around to see a black cat sitting on my couch staring at me with her big green eyes. I groaned "Jinks how did you get in here again?" I asked the feline as I picked her up and walked out the door with her. I locked my door and walked over to the door right next to mine, I knocked on it twice before the door was swung open.

"Jesus its 9 am Camilla wh- O hey Jinks did you have another sleepover with Camilla again?"

"Yea Jasper I don't know how your cat keeps getting into my apartment but you gotta keep track of her. How did you not even notice she was gone?" He shrugged 

"I don't know she just does her own thing, I thought she was in her bed, I guess not. Hey maybe she's trying to tell you that you need company at night" He said grinning at me as he leaned against his door. 

I smirked at him, "Nice try Jasper but no thanks, now if you'll excuse me I have to go decapitate some vampires" I said handing him his cat.

"Well it was worth a try, see you around neighbor". He winked at me before I walked away. I've been living next door to Jasper for 2 years now and every time he sees me he never fails to try and flirt with me. Don't get me wrong, Jasper is very handsome, Tall, blonde hair, blue eyes, but he's just not my kind of guy. He's a sweet guy though and a good friend, he just can't keep track of his cat who comes to visit me at least three times out of every month. 

I arrived at the base 20 minutes later, Lucy walked up to me "Good Morning Captain!" My team doesn't call me Camilla when we're at work, they wait till we're off duty. They call me captain because when I became leader of the team Lucas didn't really know what to call me so he called me captain or "Cap" for short and I guess it just stuck. 

"Why are you so cheery it's only about 9:30 in the morning" I said as we walked towards my fathers office to meet with the others. 

"I have to stay cheery I can't let this job get to my head or I'll loose my mind". We walked into my fathers office to find Lucas and Ivy sitting on the couch in there, Lucas was asleep sitting up while Ivy was eating a bagel and reading the newspaper. 

"Morning" Ivy said without looking at us. 

"Morning, how long has he been asleep like that?" I asked amused. 

"About 20 minutes" she said, putting her newspaper down as she already knew what I was going to do. I walked over to Lucas and smacked him hard on his forehead, he jumped up in pain. 

"Morning Luke, I see you didn't get your 8 hours last night" Lucas glared at me. 

"Come on Cap if you keep doing that you're going to give me brain damage" he said groaning as he rubbed his forehead. 

"You're already halfway there" Ivy said smirking. 

"Good morning ladies stop picking on Lucas" My dad said as he walked into his office and saw Lucas with a red hand print on his forehead. "So another village was hit last night... You already know what to do" We all sighed and nodded, "ok this village is 3 hours west of here, be careful out there soldiers".
