Chapter 10
"Sunny! Abort mission!" Commander Red shouted, he was coughing excessively due to the gas granade that was thrown at us. The air was covered in gas, bullets flying everywhere and a lot explosion could be heard that made our ringing sound in our ear.
"No!! Were so close!" I yelled at my commander while trying to push through the Enemy's base. If only I could plant this nuclear bomb close enough to them that would complete our mission.
"NO! Sunny! Listen to me! Abort Mission, the enemy had already found out about our plan, someone must have told them. We need to warn the other soldiers that there's a traitor among us!" Commander Red shouted while firing amo at the enemy, both of us took cover at the near by rock as bullets came flying to us.
"Damn it! If I found out who told the enemy, I swear I'll kill her with my own hand!" Commander stated, at that moment I froze it was like time had come to a stop. I felt like I couldn't breathe, like something was strangling me and my stomach was flip up side down.
It took me a few second before snapping out of my reverie, then as calmly and quietly as possible I reached for my gun, the nuclear bomb was on my back pack.
I took a step back, "Sunny? What are you doing?" Commander Red asked in confusion. I didn't answer him instead I grab the strap of my back pack, securing the nuclear bomb that we were task to implant on the enemy's base.
"Sunny?! What's wrong with you?!"
"How did you know the traitor was a girl?" I asked him, he flinched for a second but tried to touched me, I immediately dodge his hand.
"W-hat are you s-aying? It was just a hunch." He tried to explained. But as time passed by I couldn't help but have a bad feeling about this.
I grabbed my walkie talkie and channeled it to our baseline troops. "Hello? Hello? This is Delta Sun, is someone there?" No one answered.
"Hello? Hello? This is Delta Sun, is someone there?!" No answer.
"Hello?! Hello?! This is Delta Sun, is someone there?! ANSWER ME!" Why is no one answering? At this point I was getting anxious, I looked at Commander and my heart almost dropped seeing his sinister smile.
"It was you. You were the traitor." I said to him, trembling in my feet.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! YES! IT WAS ME!" He laugh maniacally, his eyes was wide and he was drooling from his mouth.
He's crazy.
"Why?! You've been with us since day one of training! You ate with us! Laugh with us and even shared secret with us! Why would you--" I didn't even realized I was already crying, I tried wiping my tears off but for some reason it just wouldn't stop.
"You--you I thought you were our friend." I said to him, I could feel my own voice tremble.
"Friend?! What a bullshit word. This country had taken everything from me! I became a commander, serve with absolute loyalty to the president and gave my whole life and what did I got in return?!! The government! They told me they were paying for my families expenses and my Mother's medical bill! But when I returned three years ago they were already dead!! They didn't even gave them a proper burial but instead threw their bodies in the lake a fucking trash!!"
I didn't know that, when we got a vacation leave three years ago he told me that his family was fine and that they enjoyed their time together, I didn't know that his family died.
"This Is for my brothers and sisters and my Mother whom the Government killed!!" He said, so that's what he want. He wants revenge. I still could not believe that the commander that I once knew and respected is a traitor of our country.
"Now. Give me the nuclear, Sunny. They said they would let me reside in their country if I could give them the nuclear in one peace." He stated, I held on the strap of my bag tightly.
Then a crazy idea came to mind.
"Did you kill them?" I asked him even though I already knew the answer.
"Yes, don't worry you'll soon meet them in hell!!" He shouted as he pointed his gun at me and shoot in point blank range.
Suddenly I felt cold, I looked at my chest and there was blood on it. Ha. He really did shot me.
I fell to the ground, I saw him looking at me. His eyes that held no regret was piercing right through me.
But I wasn't about to go down without a fight. I Couldn't let my comrades death be in vain.
He grabbed the backpack from me and turned around, "Goodbye Sunny."
With little strength that I had I grabbed the gun laying beside and shot the back pack. The last thing I heard was commander's scream, then bright white light covered the entire surrounding, it wasn't a loud explosion like any other granade.
It was eerie quiet and bright, it was slowly when I felt I could no longer breathe and my body was frozen solid, at that moment the only thing I could do was close my eyes....and prayed.
-
I jolted up and gasp for air. "HA!" it took me a second before I could catch my breathe. I looked around to see where I was, I was in a small room laying in bed.
A sudden throb on my head caused me to wince in pain. 'That dream it was too realistic, what was that…. Don't tell me...
"I HAVE A PAST LIFE?!" I yelled in shock and horror. I grabbed my head and quickly gathered my thoughts. I am Novaliches Tia Villasis, Dethroned Empress of the Stellae kingdom and a mother to three beautiful boys, that won't change. I didn't die, I just remembered my past life.
The throbbing of my head keep getting intense. "AHHHHH!!!" I screamed in pain. A sudden gush of memories came flooding in, the memories of my past life, Sunny Crox that was my name.
Phones, laptops, survival, televisons, guns these are things from my past that we don't have here! But these technology did I came from the past or future?!
"Goddess! Why are you doing this to me?!" I yelled in pain, the sudden flood of information was too much for me. I was sweating and I could feel my heart beat beating out of my chest.
"Mother!!" The door suddenly burst open revealing my three crying children worried and in dis stress. Ahhh yes. My sons no matter how many life I had it doesn't matter, all that matter is the present.
I am Novaliches Tia Villasis, Mother of three.
