From Predator to Prey

Roomies!

*RENEGADE POV*

When the door was opened, I was met with a very clean dorm, and a very scary (but kinda hot) woman. She looked at me suspiciously.

"Uh, so Six told me I'm staying here. You Zofia?"

She nodded.

"Do you talk? Or are you mute? I mean it's okay if you are, cause that's kinda cool, and I'm not gonna judge or anything..."

I started rambling, but stopped when I heard her clear her throat.

"Sorry bout that. Kind of a habit and all and...I started rambling again didn't I?"

She nodded again, then stuck out her hand. I shook it.

Zofia: My name is Zofia Bosak. I'm part of GROM, Polish special forces.

"Oh yeah, I heard all about GROM. Back when Ace was still alive, he'd talk about his buddy in GROM. She was kinda old, like 29 or something, but it's been like a year, so she's like 30 now. He also mentioned how she was really uhh, rough or something. And that she had funny hair. Different colors all the time, like she was an artist and all, and wait, why are you still listening? Only Baker ever does that. Well, Ace did too, but he died. Do you know who I'm talking about?"

She nodded, and told me that I was talking about her sister, Ela. I then mentally smacked myself. I forgot to introduce myself to her! Fuck!

"Oh shit, where are my manners? I'm Cole Jackson, or Renegade, but you probably knew that or something. Now that we ain't strangers no more and that we're roomies, ya wanna get some chow? Maybe make friends?"

She shook her head.

Zofia: I have friends. As for you, I am sure you will make some quickly. Additionally, it is too early for dinner. Dinner starts in two hours.

Damn. Talk about sharp! I went and wandered around the base. I found myself in the GIGN hallway and was met with a really hot brunette. I almost got a nosebleed but I noticed two kinda big guys so I just awkwardly walked over.

"Uhh, I'm Cole. Jackson. Yeah, Cole Jackson, that's me. You can also call me Renegade, but not Cabbage. Too many bad memories involved."

One of the guys looked at me like I was some retard, the other looked at me kinda funny, and the brunette looked interested.

Brunette: How old are you?

"Who, me? I'm 19, almost 20. Enlisted right out of high school and somehow found myself in MARSOC. Pretty cool, right?"

Brunette: I'm Emma, call sign is Twitch.

Thick Male: I'm Rook.

Other Thick Male: I'm Montagne.

"So now that we ain't strangers no more, that makes us friends, right?"

Rook and Montagne shook their heads. Goddamnit, you probably messed it up with rambling. No, shut up! Twitch nodded, making us friends! Score! I kinda wonder how Thunder was doing, but then I walked into the SASR hall and found him stoned on the ground with who I could only assume was Mozzie. Moving on. I walked towards the SAT hall, only to find a really hot Japanese woman to walk out and then see me.

Japanese Chick: Are you the 19 year old I heard of?

I awkwardly nodded. She ran up to me and hugged me, squeezing the air out of my lungs and somehow picking me up.

Japanese Chick: OH MY GOD! YOU LOOK SO CUDDLY, LIKE A TEDDY BEAR!

"B-B-But I'm a Marine. Able to kill someone in 700 different ways with just my bare hands. How am I cuddly?"

The Japanese chick ignored my question and called over two other equally hot chicks, one was Korean and the other looked like a JTF2 operator from the clothing. Both of them squealed. Fuck.

A SHORT TIMESKIP LATER, THUNDER POV

Hot damn, that was the best high ever. I was just exploring the base when I found Cole on the ground, trembling.

"Whoa, mate, the fuck happened?"

He began stuttering out the events that happened.

"B-B-Bunch of chicks...c-cornered me...couldn't b-breathe...."

Holy shit. I don't even know if I should count him as a lucky one or a poor bastard. I helped him back up and to his room. I then went back to my room.

*ZOFIA POV*

After Baker dropped Renegade off, he stumbled his way to the bed, took off his shirt (revealing a very toned body), and fell asleep almost immediately. I then realized that was the only bed. I shrugged, walked over, changed, and fell asleep soon after.

MORNING, STILL ZOFIA POV

I woke up to a warm and comfortable sensation, only to realize that was Renegade hugging me. Right before I slapped him awake, I heard him mumble some things in his sleep.

"No...Mama...I said I was sorry, please don't use the knife again..."

I was shocked. I very quickly checked for any scars, and sure enough, they were almost everywhere. All over, it was a miracle he wasn't even killed. I quietly slipped out of his hug and got into something for a more relaxed occasion. About five minutes later I saw him wake up.

Cole: Good mornin', I had the nicest dream. Someone tried to kill me with a knife, but then this person saved my ass. Kinda cause someone always needs to save my ass, cause I'm useless and al-

"No. You are in Rainbow now. You are not useless. I'm sure whatever happened to you wasn't pleasant, but now it isn't happening anymore. You are valued, don't ever forget that."

Cole: Whoa. That was deep, nice job.

I chuckled.

"Come on, let's get some breakfast."

Cole: Nothin' like a good ol' MRE to get me ready to kill!

"Nope, you're eating real food today. No more MRE for you."
