Something Different

Johnny's P.O.V

I sat on the roof of the train station fiddling with the scope of my sniper. I've been here for a few hours now. After we took the city chambers we knew the royals would send someone to try and get it back but we're ready

The street were silent apart from the crackling of flames from the fight before hand. "Johnny their right in front of you!" a voice came over my head piece shattering my calm thought.

I quickly snapped my scope back onto my rifle and moved to the roof edge. I peered through the scope at the camo uniform of the royal army as they piled out of the jeeps.

"Okay boys here's the second wave, wait for my mark" I said quietly to my team scattered across the roof tops surrounding the square.

"What's the mark?" Danny's voice boomed over the headset. He was the youngest and newest member of my team. (The night hawks)

"Trust me Danny you'll know it when you see it" I chuckled back. The royals were now about in the centre of the square. I took aim at the general and took a deep breath and held. My finger moved slowly towards the trigger and then.

Crack!!!

I pulled the trigger and a red mist filled the air around the general. As the rest of my team joined in, the window to the chamber shattered and the ground force (the rhino bombers) opened fire.

The royals scattered and returned fire but it was no use. I scanned the dispersed group and started picking them off one by one. My gaze soon landed on a solider crouching down behind a car with his face between his knees and hands over his head.

I chuckled and took aim but as my finger slid to the trigger at horrible feeling spread through my gut. I shook it off and once again took aim at the boy behind the car but again my finger refused to squeeze the trigger and end him.

I looked up at him and new straight away that he was not like the other royals. I don't know what it was but there was something different about him like he didn't want to be here or something.

I shook it off and let him be. Hopefully none of the others see him, I thought as I returned to the soldiers that were fight and had not problem finishing them off.

The last soldier fell at my hand and the battle was won. I looked over and the boy was still behind the car. I shook my head and attached my cable to the rooftop railing and with one swift jump I slid down it to the ground.

"You did great guys, head home and relax you deserve it." I said to my team as i walked to the ground team.

"It's it was you that fired the first shot" the leader of the Rhino bomber and my best friend zayn laughed as I got closer.

"Well do else can aim that good" I chuckled and engulfed him into a hug.

"Great to see you man" Zayn said pulling away "go see if there's any survives" he then said to Jack and Frank who were on ether side of him. They nodded and left.

"So what's the damage?" I asked folding my arms.

"Well as far as I know we have 3 dead and 4 injured" he admitted

"Well it's not our worst result" I said and bowed my head.

I raised my head at The sound of bodies hitting the ground I looked up to see two royals staring at us. One was wearing a really nasty scowl and the other looked terrified.

It was the boy from behind the car, I cocked my head to the side as I peered into his eyes. He looked so innocent.

"We're not telling you anything you'll have to kill us!" the other boy yelled attracting my attention.

"Fair enough we didn't want you to anyway" jack shrugged and pulled out his handgun. The boys head exploded and then fell to the ground. This wasn't the prettiest part of the job but there can be any whitenesses that could identify us.

Jack then pointed his gun to the other boy who had curled up into the tightest ball he possibly could. I know what I just said about whitenesses but I couldn't let this boy die it's just wrong.

As jacks finger moved towards the trigger I grabbed the gun from his hand. Everyone spun round a looked at me in bewilderment.

"You can't kill this one" I simply stated and dragged jack and Zayn to the side leaving frank to guard the boy "I mean it don't touch him" I warned frank.

"What the fuck are you doing" jack whisper shouted.

"I just can't let that one be killed" I said handing jack back his gun.

"Why? what's going on?" Zayn asked.

"I don't know, he just looks so innocent and scared like this isn't what he wants" I explained Zayn turn and looked at the boy and his eyes softened meaning he seen it too.

"Bullshit, he's a royal and needs to die. if you stop me in taking it to kelly!" jack shouted

"You mean Kelly my friend and has been like a mother to me since I got here at ten years of age? yeah let's see who she agrees with" I snapped at Jack.

"Jack he's right something is different about this boy. now take frank and get the wounded back to base" Zayn said with a stern voice.

"But..." Jack tried to protest.

"That's an Oder" Zayn cut him off.

"Yes sir" Jack said with a frown and left with frank.

"Now what will we do with him" Zayn asked looking from the boy to me.

"I'll take him back to mine, until we can finger something out" I said flatly and walk towards the boy still tightly curled in the ground.

"I hope you know what you're doing" Zayn called and left to help the others.

"Me to" I whispered to myself hoping I had made the right choice in letting this boy live.
