Christina was running all the way up, running and running until she reached the roof, she didn't know why her breathing was getting high with such a light run but with her lungs but her heart was also beating like crazy, she still vividly remembered the way he poured water on his muscular body. His drenched hair, shaking off the drops of water.
'breath, breath. This isn't the first time you saw something similar. Your soldiers do it all the time.'
she wanted to shout to the horizon letting out her misperception but she controlled herself, discerning about her pride.
Slap!
With a slap on her chicks. She finally controlled herself. Taking in the fresh air. She looked around, the giant wall with the head of many animals as its decoration.
"didn't he say, he build this wall alone, in one night? Didn't know it was this huge… from afar."
She couldn't help but be impressed, at his strength and at his tenacity. From her always an endangered place, this place was much much safer. From miles and miles away. She couldn't see a hint of imps and not to mention the certics. Only some huge elephants walking around.
"The animals here are much bigger." She said, enjoying the view. "haaa….should we settle here…?" she thought, resting her hands on the roof handle.
"no…there are still people at our camp. I have to protect them….at all cost."
She gritted her teeth, for thinking to leave her people. For resting her hands. No, she needed to be at the edge, be cautious at all times. Thinking the worst case possible.
"Don't forget about your mission, Christina." She said to herself.
She looked beyond, finding lise on a treetop. "hey…"
She was going to shout out to her but found somebody just by her side, someone who had unnatural hair color like her. "why is that white hair girl doing with lise?"
Taken over by curiosity, she chose to just watch. her silver eyes, glowing to magnify her view. "oh she is teaching her about….bow and arrows?"
She was going to complain, thinking what could a single arrow damage a target when even bullets can't hurt them but with the girls' serious eyes. she planned to watch. As the white-haired girl stretched her long steel bow.
"her form is good…" she said, her keen eyes still watching her leave her string be. The target was a mildly six-foot-tall deer, with glowing horns. And she thought the arrow would only scratch the deer's thick skin, forcing it to run away.
"If hunting the animals would be that easy, I wouldn't be searching for food, endangering my men all the time."
But what happened after, shocked her speechless as the arrow, ripped through the deer's neck like its metal-like skin was just normal, like it used to be.
"what the fuck?!.....how?" she shouted. Blinking her eyes again and again.
"I know right….they are impressive." Said someone from the back.
Christina didn't look back, her gaze still on Akia as she pulled her string again. "I hope you don't point your gun at me again?" she asked.
Scarface smiled, folding his hands. "…until you put yours down, I will do the same."
She finally looked back, her mood intrigued from his reply. "what are you? Their guardian?"
"hahahaha…I would like to call myself that, but you know who is running this place." He answered with a laugh. "but, I hope you don't underestimate me, if you try to harm those kids, I will run my dagger through your throat before you know it." He said, his voice turning serious.
Christina stared back at the Scarface's eyes. his eyes cold like ice. Like hers. "I know you will….so don't worry to much." She said, jumping on the railing.
"and, say to your leader to wear shirts." She said, jumping off from the roof.
Scarface didn't phase, looking at her as she jumped form the high roof to the edge of the wall. "wear his shirt….? What did Aiden do?" he thought in confusion.

Bang!
Lise couldn't help but smile, watching the wild rabbit die from her shot. Finally, finally she could be some use to her. She didn't imagine it, and it wasn't a dream. Using her strange energy on her bullet. She pierced the rabbits hardened fur so easily.
"gut erledigt!!"
"subarashi!!"
Akia glared at her side, watching the silver haired women. Speaking her unknown language. And the other one couldn't help but do the same.
Lise could only smile in worry, gazing at how both of them couldn't properly communicate with each other. In the past, she was a fan of Japanese anime and manga. So she had some sense while she talked with Akia. But her captain couldn't speak the language, using her English dialect, which only the golden-haired boy and Scarface understood.
"A bitch who can't even speak English," Christina said with her german accent.
Akia didn't know what she said but she had heard the word 'bitch' loud and clear. Which was enough for her English dictionary to know she was spewing shit on her.
"What did she say, bitch? You fucking whore."*
(*= speaking their native language)
Listening to her tone alone, the captain knew, she was rebuking her in her native tongue.
"what! Lise! What did she just say?" she asked, taking her knife, her hand ready to be bloodied. "if she is calling me names, I will just rip her tongue out her mouth." She bellowed in anger.
Lise quickly came in between, stopping them from fighting further. Pushing her captain and her trainer away.
"hm!... I will leave you two be." Christina said, walking away from lise's push.
Lise sighed, she couldn't help but stare at her new friend. Who started scolding her in many names when the captain arrived.
"why..you..fight?" she asked in rough Japanese.
Akia kept glaring at Christina's back, remembering the moment when she thought she lost it all. when she pulled the trigger on Aiden's head. He must have forgiven her but she wouldn't. no she couldn't.
She didn't know how she had garnered such respect from the many people, including the cute girl who she was training herself.
"Why do you follow her?" she asked instead.
Lise gave a kind smile, her hand felling her heart. " she is my…hero." She replied. "you must have yours too?" she asked.
Akia's annoyed look, slowly turned red, her cheeks puffing in shame. "….yes."
Lise wasn't a child, she knew a maiden's heart when she saw one and the woman beside her was giving her signals like raging wifi.
"oh…the golden hair.. man?" she asked with a smile.
Akia turned over to her base, her legs ready to blow away, and blow away she did, running to the base with breakneck speed. "tonight…." She said to herself.
