Without warning, Marc grabbed small pendant from his pocket,similar to mine.

   My father, he gave it to me... before he...

   My instincts immediately took over me as I embraced him in a hug. Neither of us moved. We didn't need to. We both understood each other's pain.

   You don't have to do this.

   I could tell his interior voice was strained.

   I simply said nothing and hugged him until it was time for training.

  On the training field, there were lots of sets of boxes stacked on top of each other. It was like a very high tech version of paintball. The only thing is... they use real sleep-inducing darts.

   The Abrava Perdi was located in the middle of the field. Our team is supposed to take the AP and deliver it to the home base.

As we were changing into our suits, I noticed something. Marc's fingers were long...slender too. Much like a musician's fingers. I wondered if he actually did play anything.

2 hours later...

The battlefield was intense. After defeating two other teams, my team was close to getting the AP. So, here is how it was set up. Two of our teammates were off distracting the other team, while Marc and I would approach the AP.

   Go around the corner. I want to make sure that nobody is watching us.

   I could hear his message loud and clear. The only thing I didn't hear was the "Watch out!" of a nearby teammate.

   Bam! Another person from the other team ran into me. I was out before you could say piña colada. It took me a second to realize why. A dart that was meant to hit the enemy had made its way onto me. My eyelids suddenly became heavy and began to close like velvety curtains, while I slowly fell to the ground. I could feel myself being lifted up by strong arms. I focused my gaze on the person holding me and watched and he gently lifted me up and took me off the training grounds. My hazel eyes took one final look at him and then settled down to relieve themselves. That was all I could remember...

Hello again! I'm sorry that this came out so late, but I had promised a special someone that I would show part 6 so here it is! Enjoy!

This time, I only have one question for you guys.

1. What do you think about Marc now?

(P.S AP is short for Abrava Perdi)
