Angel of war (ON HOLD)

Chapter {9}

(Liz's POV)
'Elizabeth Stone please come to the office immediately, Elizabeth Stone please come to the office immediately' Blasted over the main speakers. That's odd usually they don't call specific students over the main speakers. Well whatever, it dosnt really matter anyway.

As I was walking towards the main office, I unintentionally bumped into Chris. All he does is weirdly stare at me with a grim expression and opens his mouth to say something but then decided against it and keeps on walking.

I mumbled a few curses under my breath and kept walking.

Ok now I'm sure of it, there must be something seriously wrong here because I've never seen Chris act like that before. Now that I'm thinking about it, Chris' name was just announced over the speakers and he was sent to the office as well. Something just seems off.

By the time I concluded that something seemed off, I found myself in front of the office doors. As I prepared to knock a voice cut my train of actions...

"Come in"

The doors opened and I walked in. "Elizabeth stone, and I correct" the unnamed person cut in.

"Um yes it's me?" I replied a bit confused as to why I'm here. "Um, if you don't mind explaining, why am I here? Also why was Chris sent here and wh-"

"I'd prefer if you'd shut your mouth now he said.

That's when my short temper popes and I basically lost it.

"Excuse my mister 'office man' but don't you DARE talk to me in that way, I don't care who you are, I don't need to be effin talked to like that an-" my rant was cut short by one of the scariest glares I have ever seen in my life. He stood up and slammed his fist on the table and spat. "I don't know if you are just dumb, or like to push your luck but if you talk to your superior like that again you are going to be stuck in some serious shit."

"I-I um I-"

He took a deep breath and sat back down. "I'm sorry for my outburst" he said nonchalant which just made me a little bit more irritated. "As I was going to say, I asked you to come here for a reason, and your friend was asked to come here for the same reason.

"The board has made a specific decision, and we all came to the same conclusion. You and Another student from your class have been the two top students when it came to combat so we are having both you, and a few other students immediately deployed to the actual battle...you may go and pack your things."

I just stood there white my jaw gracefully resting on the floor taking in all that he said. It took a good twenty seconds for what he said to process and click in my mind.

"WHAT!!!!!" I screamed "no, no, no no no! This can't happen. This can't be happening, there must be some kind of mistake right?" I started to freak out and hyperventilate. " Ya, there has to be some sort of mistake because no-one ever comes back from the front lines, I'm not ready to die yet, I can't die yet, you can't make me g-"

"CALM YOURSELF" he shouted over my histaria.

"I-I I can't, please no, pleas-"

"Go pack your things and prepare to leave" he said. I swear I saw a little bit of guilt and sympathy flash in his eyes, but I could never be curtain because it was covered up by his blank expression quickly.

I ran, I ran and ran and ran. I didn't want this. Tears were streaming down my face as I ran into my empty and alone room. This can't happen I thought, I just can't.

'You better start packing your things now, you don't have much time. Chris must be feeling the same way, but we have no choice. Come on let's get packed...' The voice inside of my head said sympathetically.

Once I had everything packed I got up and prepared to go. I'd be best to not say goodbye to Chloe, it would just make it that much harder on the both of us. I'd much rather her hate me than be sad and depressed. She's too much of a kindhearted person to be all depressed all the time for my sake.

I went and grabbed my luggage and hauled it out the door, I wasn't sure what was ahead of me but I had my friend by my side. Nothing could bring me down, not even this. I'm sure I'll meet new people along the way in this new chapter in my life. So here I go...

Little did I know that in the upcoming times I would face heartbreak, loss, and betrayal like never before...
