The Archers Mark (on hold)

Miss The Memories Pt 4

Stars pov.

"You're the only one alive with the real reason, Star." Crystal spoke lightly as she stared at me. I stared back at her. Fear, guilt, hatred, anger and everything coursing through my veins.

I closed my eyes, laying my head against the rocks and took a deep breath. There were so many reasons. So many explanations. I don't want to. 

"Crystal, I would rather not. Theres no reasons to drag this out it is over and done with." I stated sternly. She looked at me her head cocked sideways.

"But Stary they're about to die tomorrow they should at least know who it is that caused all of this. Because I'm pretty sure if it wasn't for that we would have had way more people then them and less need to take them." She stated her voice sounding more adult and monotonous then her childlike voice.

I gritted my teeth again, not even looking at Marco even though I felt his gaze. I could hear murmurs of 'what happened,"

Sha even stepped up and looked at us two. "It's ok Commander Star-san we trust you, you don't have to tell us." She stated.

That broke my heart. I felt my eyes tighten as I held back tears. "You shouldn't trust me." I whispered to myself. I heard shocked glances and saw gasp's as I began to bite my lip.

"It was more than a mishap with our General. If you keep saying that then we are forsaken everyone we loved. As you wished I will tell the truth. Everything you or anyone else wants but I am not going to sugar coat it. After this, many of you will not follow my lead but you want the truth so damn much." I stated sternly. Angry at her for starting this. Even more so for our clan not telling them our history.

I opened my eyes and glanced at every single person in this cave. Then I looked down at Marco who sat attentively in front and watched me with his big blue eyes. I sighed staring at Marco talking only to him.

" Exactly Two years ago tomorrow, Crystal, Cookie, Knives and I, where all a part of what they called the 1st generation recruits." Ahhs and ohhs where heard then quieted as I continued.

"Unlike many of you who where taken recently, we were bread or taken at young ages specifically to join the clan. We had grown up learning and harnessing the very skills we are just now teaching you all. It was such a big project we had multiple trainers. From Commander Karen, now General, all the way to two former Mistress's, Mistress Domino, and Mistress Comet."

One person shot there hand up. I glared at it before nodding. "Like the Gate guard who was killed?" She stated bluntly. I took in a sharp breath and gave a slight nod. My voice going back to its dark undertone.

"However none of them, where as influential as Our 1st General." I briefly glanced at everyone before my eyes, then quickly went back to Marcos as I kept talking. "Even though we had grown up in the clan, we could not officially join the clan till we were 16, some exceptions of course." I nodded at Crystal who smiled and waved her hands.

"I'm Only 16 now!" She stated. Everyone gasped even Marco went wide eyed before he scolded his expression back in place. Or should I say lack of one.

"Your only 16?" Mel asked. Crystal smiled and nodded vigorously. "Yepaity yepaity." More words were exchanged as I glared at them before I took a breath cutting them off.

"Anyway, we had attended Rankings before as practice dummies or various odd ball jobs on the coliseum. Some of us where even ushers for the spectators. (Crystal cheered up) Until we turned 16. We where all excited and in this very place made pacts for the future, (I smiled) But on that day our 1st General, Went mad." I stopped holding in my breath and biting my lips before I scrunched my face till I felt it going back to its natural expression.
