Chromia's Pov
"Fire!" Hol yelled and we all did just that, some missing the target but the majority hitting it. I was in the majority of course, my fist on my hip as I admired my handy work.
Maybe my friends and siblings were actually right, I should have joined the army ages ago.
"Not bad but let's try again, focus guys!" Hol yelled as she paced around for a bit. She then waited a brief moment before yelling the word 'fire' again.
"Just picture a bitch you hate, that should help" Morgan suggested and Hol elbowed him in the rib.
"Don't listen to him!" the ginger haired woman yelled above the gunshots. Soon the firing ceased, Morgan and Hol examined the results.
"Not bad but sad to say we won't stop until this is as sharp as possible, on the grounds of battle the sharpest shooter wins" she stated and everybody sighed upon hearing that.
We were excited to hold the gun at first but now the routine had become tiring.
"Keep practicing guys, Jackson you're in charge, ensure nobody shoots nobody. Morgan I need to speak with you" Hol stated and Morgan nodded before following her. I was actually stunned that she gave Myra a responsibility regardless of how cowardly she behaved.
The thing about being a metallic alien was that you had bionic hearing. As a result while I practiced my shooting I eavesdropped on my trainer's conversation with the use of my advanced audio receptors (ears).
"How long have you two been sleeping together?" Hol asked and Morgan made a sound I could not quite describe. I raised my rifle at my desired angle, my optic (eye) on the target in sight.
Now, what could Hol be speaking about?
"What?" He asked and his voice was far from sounding innocent.
"Don't give me that look Morgan, I saw you taking her back to her tent around 4 am this morning" Hol stated. I fired at my target, the bird going limp once my bullet sounded. I dipped in order to have the creature replaced, the bird in my hand squealing for its very life.
"I never denied your question Hol, you still hadn't mentioned a name" he clarified and I swallowed.
"Mia Emilio... The best recruit in your batch" Hol stated.
"I hadn't been sleeping with her for a long time Ma'am, in fact I've only touched her in the midst of being lost and last night" he stated and I was stunned that he actually confessed that so easily.
Was he not the one to believe we would get in trouble or was it a trick for me to keep my mouth shut?
"You're my friend Morgan and I am going to be honest with you, it's best you leave that woman alone." she steed firmly and he actually laughed.
"Is she seen as that delicate to you?" he asked and I chewed my lower lips slightly.
"Her husband died in the army, remember Grayson? That's his wife" Hol asked and I am afraid she was without the knowledge that we all knew each other.
"How could anyone forget Grayson Ma'am? He was a force to be reckoned with in my recruit year" Morgan stated. My eyes widened, he joined the same year my husband did?
That meant he knew him. I aimed at my fresh target and fired as I zone out of their conversation immediately, I really didn't need to hear anymore of this.
When evening came and we had eaten after taking our respective showers I went straight to Hol. I tried not to cry but I couldn't help it, I went to my trainer in tears. As soon as she saw me she stood from the stone she was resting on while she cleaned combat boots.
"Emilio?" she questioned and I believe while she was a senior in the army she was a woman first and my tears bothered her.
"I would like a word, if I am permitted to" I stated and her hazel eyes roamed my face.
"What's wrong?" Hol asked and crumbled, falling to my knees on mud and dirt.
"You knew him didn't you?" I asked and she got on her knees rubbing my back gently.
"You aren't making sense sweetheart" she stated as she continued to comfort me while I tried to dry my eyes.
"Grayson...my husband, you and Morgan spoke about it" I told her and she swore under her breath.
"Morgan and his fucking big mouth" she stated as though she would strangle her partner.
"Did you know him?" I asked in a shaky voice.
"I trained him for some time honey, he was just like you, he stood out from the others I got that year" she told me with sad eyes. "It shocked me when he was found hanging from a rope like that, I didn't see the reason for a man like him to kill himself. He was exceptional and he had a beautiful wife that visited him everyday. He seemed happy" told me and I covered my face.
"It's my fault, I drove him to his death" I state before telling her the reason as to why I had said such a thing.
Finally I could spend some time with someone who I had not seen for a few weeks. He was coming home tonight and I was quite excited to see him interact with his son.
But I waited for hours and he never came so I gave up and closed the door with teary eyes. He wasn't coming and I was saddened, nothing could be more disappointing than telling a child that his father was elated to see him when it stood to be far from the truth. Ironhide did not give a damn about me or my son.
The phone rang and when his caller ID flashed across the screen I answered.
"Babe...baby" his voice slurred and it didn't take a genius to know he was drunk.
"Where are you? You should be home three hours ago, you told me midnight and I even disregarded Emanuel's bedtime in order to have him see you" I hissed.
"Don't shout babe...I can hear you, you don't have to yell" he stated and now I felt like yelling because I was speaking rather softly.
"I'm speaking softly Ironhide where the fuck are you!!!" I yelled and there was noise on his end.
"He can't speak to you because he's drunk in a bar's sex lounge with me" came a glitch's (bitch's) voice and the call cut immediately. My eyes widened but I didn't cry, I decided I'd wait up for him instead, by this time Emanuel had already fallen asleep.
Her flashbacks continue in the other chapter guys so gear up guys ;)
