Explosions went across the hallway!
"KILL THEM!!!!!!" screamed the lieutenant.
Soldiers fired away at his command. Soldiers of Leidenschaftlich fell down left and right.
But one young girl, about 12, rushed at them fearlessly. Her movements were so light, graceful, but her blue eyes remained cold and distant. It took her minutes to dispatch the enemy soldiers, no, it took her minutes...to kill them.
BANG!!!! SLASH!!!! SLASH!!!! BANG!!!! BANG!!!!
3 soldiers hit the floor. Dead. She stood over them with a bloody knife in her hand. She didn't care. She moved on to the next room.
"SHE'S HERE!!!! THE WAR MAIDEN IS...AHHHHH!!!!"
SLASH!!!!! SLASH!!!! SLASH!!!!
The girl stabbed the last soldier with her knife...I won't describe any further the brutality of it.
Only the lieutenant remained. And he was terrified. Traumatized. He was crying.
"PLEASE, I HAVE A FAMILY! DEAR, GOD!" he begged her for mercy.
He went on his knees and cried.
"GIVE ME A CHANCE! WE NEVER HURT ANYONE IN DENNING BAY! WE WERE JUST OCCUPYING IT! I SWEAR!"
Sadly, his cries were not heard. His pleas were not given a chance. The young girl tilted her head, stared at him, took her knife, and that was the end of it.
"VIOLET!" screamed the senior soldier as he rushed into the room.
He looked at the carnage. 3 soldiers killed in the other room and 4 more in this one. This horrified him. She did this all by herself. He saw the young girl sitting next to the body of a dead lieutenant. But she continued to stare at the ground. She was unaware of anything happening around her.
"Oh, Violet, what have you done?"
"Did Violet do wrong?"
Violet looked up at the soldier, pointing at herself.
"Sadly, yes, Violet," the soldier replied.
"Major? What Violet done wrong?" she asked.
"You didn't show him mercy, Violet. He surrendered already," he said sadly.
"Mercy? What is mercy, Major?"
"Let's talk outside."
He held his hand out to her.
"Let's go."
"Teach me, Major."
She took his hand.
"I will. I still have hope in you."
"MAJOR!"
