Everyone stood in shock. Shadow had quit? It seemed impossible...
"I can't deal with you people! She deserves to leave The Army and I'm leaving too!" Griffin yelled
"Griffin, Do not walk out that door!" I yelled back
"You're not commanding me anymore, Red."
Griffin walked out the door.
I looked over the remaining people in the group.
Pen, Dusk, and Angelina. Pen looked up at the empty doorway.
" I can't survive when the Army is falling apart." Pen whispers
"No, no not you too." I begged
She looked up at me with tears in her eyes "I'm sorry."
She left too, The room was silent.
"Dusk, Angelina, please..." I begged
Dusk looked at Angelina "Are you okay? To stay?"
Angelina nodded. "I'll stay."
The next day...
Dusk walked in silently.
"Is everything okay?" I asked
"Angelina.... Told me to tell you.... That... She's sorry, she just doesn't want to be put into danger."
Dusk shifted her weight from foot to foot and looked down at her feet.
"No not you...." I cried
Dusk looked at me, "The Army... Will miss me."
The ARMY will miss me.
THE army WILL MISS ME!
THE ARMY will miss me.
I woke up sweating.
"Red...." Jekyll said quietly
"Yes?"
The doctor came and sat on my bed "Another dream?"
I nodded "Sadly...."
"I know you miss them."
"I caused all of this?! Why? Why? Why?" I cried
"Shhh. You'll be okay." he said hugging me
"Red. They'll be back. I'm sure of it. Now try to get some sleep."
I nodded. He then left.
I fell asleep after I cried myself to sleep. Another dream overtook me. This was awful. I locked my door the next morning and stayed in my room.
I wrote a little but no near enough to publish. Not that anyone would read it if I did. I didn't care.
I deleted the draft and covered up in my blanket looking like a burrito or something. I was so tired Yet wide awake.
Jekyll and Hyde at that moment sat across from Angelina and Shadow.
"She won't come out of her room." Jekyll choked out
"She won't tell us why." Hyde continued
" and she's having awful nightmares." Jekyll rememberers
" is there any reason that she might be like this?" Hyde asks the two former Red Army members
"We quit the Army." Shadow whispered
"You did what?! Jeez, losing two army members can certainly be why!" Jekyll exclaims
" it's not just us two... The entire top four and Dusk."
Jekyll looked to Hyde. Just then the door flew open. In walked Skit.
"Hehe, hello everyone... I see your concerned about sweet little Red." She greets
Shadow charged at Skit.
"What. Have. You. Done." Shadow says
Skit looks up "Well... I can't tell you that. It will ruin all my fun."
"Tell me now! What have you done to her!"
"It's not what I've done, dear Shadow. It's what you've done...."
Shadow shook her head in disbelief "Lies!" She screams at the alter
"How can you be so sure? You didn't mistake Red for me. You saw me, yet the whole Army disagrees and you run, so this is your doing. Red is broken without the Army, one more crack to her and she might not be here tomorrow." Skit says her plain expression behind her mask turning into a sinister grin.
"No, no. I- She can't be broken." Shadow stutters
"But She is, Darling.... go see for yourself."
Shadow gulped "I'm going to need an army to fix this."
Skit leaves with a laugh "Good luck with that."
But Shadow knew what to do.
"DUSK!!!! OPEN THE DOOR! NOW!" Shadow yells while pounding on the door
"Why should I? The Army is in ruins so I don't lead much of anything anymore...." Dusk whispers back
"Red's in trouble..."
I sat in my room crying my eyes out. A shadow covered my window. I opened it and In came Ryasami.
"Red, you haven't been yourself. what's wrong?"
Ryasami reaches to put her hand on my shoulder for support but is blocked by Skit.
"Hehe, not so fast...."
"Let me get to her." Ryasami says
"No."
Skit pushes Ryasami against the wall.
"Leave..." Skit whispers
Dusk ran out of the door, "Is the Army assembled?"
She asks frantically
"No, only Shadow, Jekyll, Hyde, and I know what's she's doing." Angelina replies
"Skit?" Dusk questions
Angelina nods
Dusk cusses under her breath then they reach HQ.
Headquarters looks rundown and it looked abandoned
Dusk sighed, "I need the Red Army here, ASAP."
Angelina calls everyone to come, including that if the silent sector. Ryasami looks down at her phone while she's still pinned to the wall by skit.
"Sorry to cut our conversation short, but I have to go." Ryasami smiles then she punches Skit in the face causing her to stumble backward and ran out of the house towards HQ.
Himeru is the first to HQ, he is panting.
"What's going on?" He asks out of breath
"Red is in trouble. I'll explain when everyone gets here."
Once all the soldiers get to HQ, Dusk explains the events of the past two weeks.
"So we have to save her.... Once in the Army, Always in the Army."
"Once in the Army, Always in the Army." The Army repeats back.

There's going to be a part 3 but at least this was cleared up. :) have a good day.
