Redemption

Whispering Voices

Chase POV
I sat quietly in the mentor quarters, searching through my thoughts, trying to overcome my constant doubt I had within myself. Ever since Sebastian tried to take over the academy, I have felt this overwhelming fear that something is going to go wrong. It was my fault Sebastian got as far as he did, and if it wasn't for my stupid actions Mr Davenport would have been safe, and wouldn't have nearly died.

It was true that over the past few days I felt something different within myself and I knew it had something to do with the rebellion.
I glance over at the three capsules, Adam and Bree resting in theirs with their eyes completely shut. I release a deep sigh as I slump back into the couch, lost in deep thought.

I had been waking up in the middle of the nights lately, reflecting on the missions that had happened previously.
It was like my leadership skills as mission leader were slowly deteriorating. I found that with every mission that came it would be a close call, or a near escape.

Every time we came back from a mission, I saw the look that Mr Davenport gave me almost like he was disappointed. I tried to avoid making eye contact with him but I could feel his stare, burning through me skull.
Lately I haven't really spoken to anyone, I have just left myself quite distant to sort myself out.

No one really understood what it felt like to have so much pressure placed on yourself and as mission leader it was crucial that you did your job right. One wrong move and I could not only put the team at risk but many more lives.

" Chase are you ok?" A hush voice asks
I jump in a little shock but turn myself around to see Bree looking at me, while rubbing her eyes to get her clear vision back.

" I.. I'm fine" I stutter in response
" Are you sure? You haven't exactly been yourself lately." She says while strolling over to the couch and taking a seat next to me.

" Uhhhhh, What do you mean I feel fine!" I exclaim
" Chase I know your lying. You have been very distant and I feel like your not telling us something. Every mission we go on, you avoid Mr Davenport and you haven't exactly been very concentrated on missions. Somethings up!" She explains, while gazing into my eyes

" I'm fine trust me!" I lie, but no one needed to know what was going on, and I knew no one would understand.
I hear Bree release a deep sigh, before leaving me and returning to her capsule.
" Good night Chase!" She says
" Good night Bree." I respond

After a moment of dead silence, I pick myself up and walk towards the training area, I needed some time to myself to cool off.
I approach one of the training dummies, and begin to attack it practising some of my combat skills.

I know that I haven't been on top of my game lately as mission leader and that is something I need to fix and urgently.

Flashbacks of the rebellion consume my thoughts, and I find myself fighting even stronger against the plastic figure.
After 5 minutes of solid combat I allow myself to rest by the side step. Breathing heavily, I finally take a gulp of water quenching my thirst.

The thought of Sebastian made my blood boil and I felt so disappointed in myself. What didn't help was the small comments Adam would make, and sometimes even Bree and Leo would join in.

I already had growing doubt in me and I didn't need any more pressure. I just have to pull my weight that's all, I just need to focus, concentrate and remember that I am mission leader. I have to act like it.
I have to ignore the
