The Courage of Italy

~12~

Her boots hitting the floor as she ran was all she could hear. She veered around object and pieces galore as she found each girl one by one. Telling them they needed to finish up elsewhere, and she had a plan.

"What's the deal Chloe?" Marie asked, aiming the gun at a group of men.

"Trust me." she replied, looking back at Juliet's map.

"With Winter still roaming around Vlad and Lukas can't get here darling, we have to get down there." Juliet said, "What are you trying to do? We have to get the others."

"Just shush!" she shouted seeing her target, "There!"

Taking off again, the girls followed closely as they found a decorative hall. It was as if they had entered the grand CEO office or even elected officials wing as the rich cherry wood shined against the exotic green wall paper. She moved forward, her mind set on what to do as she finally found the room in question.

"Chloe!" Brie whispered as she pulled her arm, "I don't know what you are thinking but it will get us killed if we don't use caution."

"We're setting a trap for Doss." she told them.

All the girl looked at her, a glint of excitement and determination glittered in their eyes. It was it. Doss was all that was left of personifications of Genesis, and when he was gone, so was the war.

"He's at his end." she said, "He will have a last stand but before that he will go with a bang or at least attempt to. This office here has all the controls and we are going to wait for him."

"Now she speaks a good fight." Lily smiled.

Pushing the door open, Amber and Marie swept the room of dangers and people, just to nod its clearance. Rushing in, they all gathered papers of other locations of settlements and whom oversaw them. The amounts of military and civilians, to the weaponry and mass of the land and space. She even found the codes to the bombs they had in their hands, ready to hit their targets.

"This is fucking gold." Juliet said as she grabbed more.

"With all of this, we can truly end this, yes?" Harper asked as she skimmed through a book.

"I believe that is the thought." Nora replied, "As the boys are busy, we are taking knowledge and placing it where it truly belongs."

The boys. Her mind went to Feli and how he destroyed Alpha. A rage and power she had never seen before in her life from him. Even when he told Alpha not her, his voice was deeper, darker, more powerful than anything she could have thought of. There was something in him that opened, and it was her that opened it.

"Thinking there darling?" Juliet asked.

"A little."

"They're fine sweetie." Amber assured her.

"Oh, I know they are." she smiled, "I saw Feli cave Alpha's head in, I know they're ok."

Silence befell the room as the women stared at her in awe, "What?"

"Feli?" they all said.

"Yea. Hey, the bastard was trying to rape and kill me. Something in Feli snapped. It was like a whole different man came..." she paused, "No. No I saw him once. Rome is what someone called him, but he looked like a Roman soldier."

"The Roman Empire." Brie said. "You saw Feli's grandfather."

"You are saying Feli channeled the Roman Empire to kill Alpha?" Lily questioned.

"Why not?" Brie replied. "I believe our husbands can channel past selves or once empires and bring them forth when need be. Seeing Francis take off that one soldiers head with one swipe is enough for me to believe it."
