The Archers Mark (on hold)

Never Show Strength pt1

Stars pov.

I went on my way, another bottle in my hand as I started towards the forest bridge. I took a swig and looked at the bottle as I ignored the path I was taking.

The sun was starting to come out, and I thanked the being higher up that I had my hood on. I sighed and took another swig.

"So basically, your sister had a thing with the woman she was supposed to protect, When you were sent after a traitor, your family which had been slaughtered was basically brushed under the rug. And now you're throwing a fake banquet where everyone will be spitting out there deepest secrets. Can I have a warbeast, or maybe 100 please. Or Hell can I just Die right now?" I asked myself as I started on the wooden bridge towards my division.

They all seemed to see or sense (hopefully I taught them Haki. Which I doubt I only got one lesson in.) my presence. I quickly finished off the bottle as I heard Cindy yell "Commander Star!" I thought about dropping the bottle and watching it shatter on the sand below but decided against it.

Oh god I hope im not drunk. I looked at my hands as I wiggled my fingers while walking on the tight rope bridge. I made a face and shook my head as I hit solid ground. "Nah not drunk."

"What was that Commander?" Flames asked. I shook my head and stared at her, her bright red hair flowing in the wind. "Oi flames do you need a hair tie? It's always flowing, really beautifully." She looked at me as Piers nodded and stepped closer to her. A little to close.

"Well she is beautiful." He stated. Flames blushed harder and stepped aside from him. I actually had to giggle at that. "Flames, You and Piers your like a thing now?" I asked. I didn't get an answer nor did I care. "That's cute, just don't let the others find out they'll flip and it'll be all our asses on the line." I laughed at that last part.

Then I noticed everyone started to move around weirdly. What was it called? Oh shuffling. "Oi why y'all doing all that moving?" I asked. They all stared at me with blank and hurt faces. "What happened?" I asked my voice growing heavier. Flames looked down and sighed, " Is that an order?" She asked. I gave a questioning look and nodded, "If you need that to tell me then I did not do my job right. Im sorry, yes it is an order." I stated sternly.

Karly (or Carly I don't know how she spells her name so do I care? No!!! If you do fuck off my story) stepped forward. "Oh Commander it's not like that. It's not like that at all."

"It's not?" I asked. Flames stepped up, "Commander last night 1st Commander James-san,"

"Don't call him by any title he is undeserving just James." I cut her off. Sha looked at me with a worried look. Flames nodded. "Um James, pulled me aside and tried to reprimand me for my crimes, but General Karen stopped him." I nodded and looked at Cindy. "I see, did he get you too?" I asked.

"No he didn't," she stated.

"Good."

"He got me earlier that day." She stated. I felt my blood boil. "That god damn fucker! First my sister and now my Friends?! I'm gonna kill him." I gritted my teeth and headed towards the bridge.

Soon four pairs of hands where on me holding me back. "No no commander where okay really just a little shaking up that's all." Flames stated. "Besides won't you get your chance at him tomorrow?" Cindy yelped.

I sighed and stopped pulling against them then turned around. "chur right." I then made a face. "huh?" Cindy asked. I pulled my cloak down passed my red cheeks, "your right." I stated. They nodded.

"Hey, Commander what will Rankings be like?" Hillary asked. I looked at her and suddenly I saw my comrades asking the same question.

"General Versions, with all due respect I know we've been in Rankings before, for the practice but this is the real ones, the ones that determine if we survive or not. What can we expect?" Asked a Young Star, her blue cloak swishing behind her as she walked fiercely to match her generals fast pace.
