Chapter 1 - I am not the one who you knew

[some time around warzone, Ground zero]

In the midst of the gun blasting, cannons volleying over the trenches, civilians screeching for help. A man on a trench coat, black and red uniform have his rifle pointed to a woman with a cross on her sleeve who wears a all black uniform…

"so this how it ends huh?" the girl said while her hands glued to her holster, ready to draw her pistol at any given time. With a sad tone yet smilling, tears flow on her rugged cheeks.

"sorry…" out of breath, gasping for air, he smiled, but this smile doesn't mean he's happy it's a smile with despair and guilt. His rifle still pointed at her, shaking, scrimmaging to fire, blitzing her chest into pieces. He looked around the battle field, both side suffer significant loss, bodies everywhere, blown, fried, torso missing its head and several parts.

"sorry f..for this…" his hand shaking as well his voice, nothing but pain flows in his each sentence that he spoken to her

"you didn't have to…" she tried to smile, sniffing her mucus "it's your task…right?"

He looked down on his boots, feeling so much guilt he fell on his knees, wiping his tears with his blood stained uniform, the blood of his enemies that he eliminated, the civilians he murdered, the hopes and dreams of this land that his people extinguished…

She kneeled down with her left knees on the ground, the clouds rumbling, still the voices of the people that are on the battle zone still echoing on their own ears…

The screams of suffering… "no…noooo…no please spare us…" the woman from afar said, proceeded with multiple gunshots… then a sound of a child crying soon followed not long after a sound of a pistol soon was heard…

The sound of the crying child soon disappeared as the gunshot banged .

Rain starts to pour onto the ground…blood begin to flow as the water on the ground gradually fill up…

The cheerful city filled with smiles, soon turn onto a blood stained city, with no one to ever smile again on the the land that they grew up

She layed her hand on his shoulder… he then slapped him on the cheeks

His helmet unhooked on the process…

"that's for lying…a-at me…!" she said with a powerful voice

"thi…this feeling…I have for you… it isn't a lie…" he said while looking down still on his knees

She chuckles, a sarcastic chuckle… she sighs "I…don't… if I…should believe you…you…"

*It really is not a lie… I…love you… us being like this means… we're not meant to be with each other…* "I really am…this feeling for you… it's genuine…"

The rain soon started to pour even more… she then kneeled completely feeling at lost she looks up in the sky

"the memories we…made…I enjoyed it… even after that wonderful evening we got raided on the next morning… thank you…" she looks at him trying to smile… the look on her eyes are nothing but love… she didn't have any hatred nor resentment towards him… she knew that one day it will come to this… she had the feeling that one day he will leave him… but not like this…

*Maybe on our next life we can both be happy? Maybe? We can live in peace?* She looks down, tears soon follow, flowing on her cheeks, her silver hair moving along the wind

He looked at her, still mesmerized at her beauty… he puts his hand on her cheeks, his thumb wiping her tears on her eyes..

"Your as beautiful as ever huh…? " he smiled…

Sniffing…wiping her tears…"idiot…haha" she tried to laugh it off but can't really do it…she doesn't have the enough strength to do it anymore… for hours she carried multiple civilians and military personnel on her back… aiding them with medical care

I'm telling the truth…

"of coarse you…you'd be mesmerized by me…after all I'm your…type…"

He stands up, charging in front of her to hug her…hug her while the sky snivels…

As he hug her a layed her head on his shoulders… she hugged him back, crying, tears streamed on her cheeks…

She's still the big baby huh… he chuckles, making sure not to make a sound to her that he's chuckling

A light flashing along the hills… flickering along the rain…imitating a shooting star…

He stared at it, while still hugging her… his eyes fixed to its position…soon realizing what it is…

"GET DOWN!" he shouted at her…

She looked up from his hug… taken by surprise she couldn't react fast enough… looking at him as he tries to get her down to the ground…

He pushed her to the ground… laying on top of her, serving his own body as a shield for her small frame…

"ARE YOU OKAY!?" he asked while searching her uniform and body for possible bullet entry…feeling nervous… his breath rugged…

She looks pale…she didn't get the situation fast enough… she slowly looked at the bullet that hit the ground…

He immediately pulled her up… rushing to take cover from the sniper that is located from the west of their location…

[Bang…]

He flopped like a dead fish on the ground…

She turns around saw his back with a entry wound…

"heeyyyy…heeeeeeey!!" she shouted while applying pressure on his wound she grabbed a tourniquet from her pouch bag from her left pocket…

He then grabs her arm…and said in a faint tone…

"sor-ry…I…le-t [cough…cough] them…manipulate…and…co..control us…."

"shut up!!! don't try to talk! Save your energy…"

The sound of blood spewing out on his body… the only thing he can do is let a small weak smile…

A group of West Easterials' soldier soon show uped restraining her and grabbing thier shotted comrade...

Her arms glued to him...fighting not to be separated...

The male soldier pulled her forcefully...

She then pulled her necklace then fought the man... she soon escaped for a moment... before she'd been captured she secretly hid it on his pocket... a symbol of their love
