Salvation Mercenary

Chapter 5 - Aiden

She giggled. I love that giggle. It was so hot. I can't put it in any other way. I was tickling her side and despite the fact she was a trained soldier she couldn't help but laugh.

Olivia pulled away smiling and gave me a peck on the lips. I couldn't help but fall head over heals for her.

"Okay I've got to go now." Olivia demanded.

"And why must you leave me?" I said in mock offence.

"Meeting Louise darling, besides - '' she paused doing up my top two buttons attempting to prompt me into doing them myself. "I've spent all day with you. So you're being ditched in trade for some best friend time." She smirked at me.

"Okay." Sighing at her playfully. Olivia is strong and independent. I knew she didn't need me. She never needed saving. She and the rest of her family are poor - her being black.

She is looked down on in our society. She is what others would call scum. Her family had nothing. When Olivia turned sixteen she left home in search of a better life. She snuck through back streets and alleys. Lived off of scraps until she made it to Pzech, where our guards found her. They let her in and later moved her to SPR (the Safety and Protection Regroupment base) they gave her a bed and protected her. She was safe.

She had neither brother nor sister. It was only her parents and her. They lived in extreme poverty. Ainran, from a birds-eye view, looked as if it had a border. On one side was fancy hotels and brilliant houses ranging from rustic to modern. On the other was muddy houses made from scrap metal and food cooked by campfires. They were separated by a river.

This river was often crossed by 'scum' as an attempt to steal scraps from the hotels bins. So when I say extreme poverty - I mean it.

Olivia came from this. And at the age of eighteen she had the choice to join the Extreme Defence Unit (EDU) - so she did. She already knew her way around, vaguely, as she had lived at the base for two months before her transfer was carried out, having been certified by the QAS (the Questioning and Assessment Sector).

Olivia wasn't to fond of the second base (QAS). Their entire job was to review and maintain other three bases making sure no brash or undesired decisions are made to take the SM off course. They also verified and had final say on any regulations or legislation to be passed through the Salvation Mercenary. They are in charge of all transfers and some assignments.

They were soon going to be surveying the Extreme Defence Unit. Making sure that no missions that have been carried out have crossed into their jurisdiction. Olivia was wary about them because upon her transfer to the Safety and Protection Regroupment base, she was assessed by a rather unfriendly woman, who had physically abused her. She was later disbanded from the SM for obvious reasons.

Olivia has been through a lot, at the EDU she was able to make a little money on small missions, helping her family slightly with money. The few things good in her life was her love her family has for each other, and Louise.

Louise lived near the end of the river, close to Olivia's shanty home. Olivia, although rather caged description of her past, used to sneak through back allies and climb through the river to Louise, wear she would plait Olivia's hair. They spent limited time together. Olivia would then go to the small gathering they called a school and Louise would go to her proper school.

Louise at the age of eighteen joined the SM to help Olivia's cause. Louise, Olivia's mum and dad were the only people who knew that Olivia had attempted to make it to the SM. Louise only found that she had made it when they were introduced to the EDU on the first day.

Olivia could never go back to her house without SM escort (as it was to dangerous to her safety) that only happened once, on a mission. However, Louise could come and go on her days off, so she used that to inform Olivia's parents on her wellbeing.

Olivia has been through and incredible anoint if pain and misery in her life. Had she had never once complained about it, and she had never once acted weak. Olivia is strong, independent and more intelligent that half the girls in this place and I am proud to call her my girlfriend.

***
I know these chapters have been short recently. And I think I am going to keep writing this way. I hope you like. For now it's a little back story, but please don't lose faith. There is a side plot of romance in all of this. And hopefully, successful character development. But this is only to make the main plot more exciting and emotional to read. So sorry for short back story chapters. Hope you don't mind.

Don't forget to vote and comment.

Thanks loads lovelies ❤️❤️
