Rebel Tord x Reader Sequel to Tainted

6. First to fall

Your POV

We only had the eight of us since the Red army been killing off our scouts so us eight against Red. Only we're skilled with combat, that'll help us to win I'm sure.

Edd, Matt, and Tom had the frontier while the four other ex leaders took position in cover behind them. And me? I'm the person who is first to fire, I'm close to the gate, farther than Edd, Matt, and Tom.

Soon enough we see the other army coming this way.

Inhale, aim, exhale, shoot. That's all I had to do. I loaded my gun as they came closer, soon enough we all opened fire.

No one's POV

Some people on the Red army panicked when they were fired upon, others rushed to find cover. And their leader? He already was shooting back at the rebels but missing his shots.

Y/n pulled out a remote and pressed it, triggering an explosion to occur. But it wasn't by the rebels, no it was by the Reds, killing over half of them. Their leader could care less, he just wanted the rebels gone, as if they were little fleas that kept coming back to the dog.

The Reds finally stopped panicking and got hold of their guns and did their share of bullets, y/n got hit in the arm but kept firing, proving that the rebels won't back down so easily.

Edd, Matt, and Tom finally got their aim right and killed at least over forty people. The ex leaders killed over four hundred. Then there was y/n who killed over one thousand people if you count half the army.

The Red army was starting to tire, they couldn't keep up with the system, soon getting shot when not firing. Their leader was close to y/n, as well as his two trusted men; Paul and Patryk. If needed, y/n would kill them but would try to avoid that under any circumstances.

Your POV

I pulled out a sword while I kept pulling the trigger, I'd make this count. Red was close to me so I rolled out of cover and swung my sword, barely hitting him. I got on my feet and held my gun to him.

"Go ahead, shoot me. If you can." he said. I narrowed my gaze on him.

"You can't do it, can you?"

I threw my sword past Paul and Patryk and into a wall behind them. "You don't think I can do it?" I asked as I crooked the gun and held it to his head.

"No. You would've pulled the trigger already." A gun crooked underneath me. I realized what was going on and kicked his gun out of his hand.

"Cut the bullshit. I'm giving you a chance to leave. Don't and I'll make sure you're dead." I said firm. "Now go, come back when you actually have a thing called an army."

Red looked offended but got up and did the smart thing, he retreated. At least he still has common sense. But I wasn't lying, I wasn't going to fight him today, to many died today. Otherwise he'd be the first to fall.

"You sure that was wise?" Edd asked as he came by my side.

"To many fell today, there doesn't need to be more blood. I think he got the point." I stated. There was a lot of blood that covered the ground, even mine. "He's not coming back anytime soon."

Edd nodded as we started to clean this mess up, it's an ugly sight anyways.

*

We finished cleaning up everything but the smell of blood was in the air. Edd kept eyeing me, not because of the bullet in my arm 'cause I got that cleared out a while back.

"What's wrong Edd?" I asked.

"N-nothing. I'll be fine." He turned his head away from me.

"Are you sure I can't do anything?"

"There is one thing but... I don't think it's the same."

"What do you mean?"

Edd cleared his throat as he finally turned to me, his face was red. "I think this explains it..." I opened my mouth to say something but closed it, I was in shock. Even after all that has happened... he... tried. And that's what angers me, I don't know if my heart still belongs to Red. Hell, I couldn't even pull the trigger on him.

"Thank you," I say studying Edd's bright colored red face.

"For what?"

"For trying. If things were different I might have felt the same."

"I understand. I asked to soon anyways."

Even though Edd said it was fine, his face said otherwise. I hope he knew I meant well, he saw how I froze up on Red, I'm not ready to move on... yet.

"Let's get some rest for tomorrow." I said turning away from Edd.

"Sure..."
