Chapter 13
To say that Gwen was shocked would be an understatement. As she continuously finished from the sudden gunshots she looked at David confused. He wanted her to shoot the gun, first. He did not even offer to help her hold it nor did he show her a demonstration.
"I- how could I?" Gwen shook her head.
"I just want to see how you hold it. I want to get an idea of what you would need to fix. And who knows. You could shoot it and end up being a natural."
Gwen almost scoffed. There was no way she would be a natural, she wanted to decline but it looked like David was not going to back down.
"Come one, you joined the army because you wanted to help us. Well, you can help us even more if you know how to shoot a gun."

It has been a week and Gwen can say that the life she was living was not something she would get used to any time soon. With the intense training that stretched into the late hours of the night, to the fact that they had to get up, right as the sun broke past the horizon. To say that she was struggling would be an understatement, but there was no room for her to complain and lag behind everyone. She was constantly reminded by the General that the situation they were in was serious and that he would not accept anyone who was not pulling their weight.Aside from the new environment that she was still integrating into, Gwen was also terribly homesick, at times she would lay awake at night, despite her body begging for sleep after the physically exhausting day she had, and would think about her parents. Her mother was definitely worried sick and that made Gwen worry more than she should have

"A peacock?" the Captain asked with an amused expression.The two turned around and continued walking the way they were before Ace came."He obviously walks around flaunting his existence and thinking that he is above everyone else and that everyone must look up to him and treat him the greatest thing ever. I only just met the guy but he seriously needs to calm down. He is probably so out of touch with reality." Gwen rolled her eyes.The Captain nodded a little. "His father, Axel Puckett, was an old friend of the Generals back in the day, they trained together and all that. Axel was one of the best soldiers and was pretty popular, everyone knew him as one of the best. So when he had Ace, he made sure that he would turn out like that, and being the son of someone so well known he of cou

Gwen's days all began to blur together. Everything became a routine for her and most of her days looked the same. The drills and exercises, the same food and same people. It all beagle to feel familiar to her. But as soon as she found the familiar, the unfamiliar once again appeared in her life. Because of her past interactions with Ace, she had now been noticing him more often. The way he integrated with the people around him. How he would constantly try to one-up everyone and would sometimes do the most out of timing things just to prove a point. The point being that he was better than everyone else.It was almost embarrassing to watch. And it of course got even worse when he would sometimes try to challenge Gwen. Because of their last conversation he seemed to have some sort of vendetta against her and spared no effort to try and show her that he was superior to her. Gwen had never ig

It took her a couple of seconds to recover from the shock of Ace's actions. She didn't think he would actually go as far as to get physical with her just because he did not like how she acted with him. Gwen looked and examined his face. He looked like he was about to wring her neck. She tried to pull her head back but he kept her secured."I don't think you understand who you're talking to. You need to learn respect and it seems like this is the only way to do it."Gwen would understand if he had a higher title than hers and she was just being rude to him, but he was a mere soldier just like her. He held no special title and the only way he was above her was in age. But it seemed like Ace had deluded himself into thinking that he had to be treated like royalty just because he is somewhat famous. Well, Gwen had a special hatred for royal

There were a couple seconds of silence and in those moments the general was mostly glaring at her. Ace, on the other hand, was looking off in the other direction, as if he wasn't the one who started all of this.“What happened?!” the General demanded again.“Puckett started it. He came up in my face with outrageous demands about me respecting him when he does not even show me any. And then he started to get aggressive. I wanted nothing to do with all of this.”Ace scoffed, finally looking at her. “Oh please.”“Oh please, what. Am I wrong? You came and bothered me. All of this was your fault.”A sneer appeared on his face and he took a step forward. But the General sent him a look that made him stop.“And so what?! You want to fight and disrupt everyone’s peace?!” he glared at Gwen.Gwen took

Life continued as normal, or as normal as Gwen could get it. The next day, her morning was filled with glares and whispers. The glares from Ace and the General and the glances from everyone who didn’t interact with her. It seemed like their fight caused quite the stir within the camp. Gwen hoped that it would be brushed off as just two soldiers who were stressed because of the current situation and so emotions bubbled up which resulted in a fight. But she knew that most of them knew the real reason they fought, and with the fact that gossip exists, she was sure the entire camp would figure it out. Gwen just hoped that people would not judge her for throwing a rightful punch at Ace’s face. It seemed that everyone knew what an insufferable piece of shit he was and so they should agree with her on the down-low. The only person openly opposing her decision was the General and he didn’t miss the opportunity to bring it up in front of everyone at the morning as

The thought of an attack was the first thing that popped into her head when she rushed outside with the others. Gwen could feel her heartbeat and could hear her blood rushing through her veins. For those few minutes of uncertainty, the reality of war became very prominent as the soldiers all waited to see what would happen next. The alarms did not stop sounding and that was the only thing telling everyone that something was wrong.Both males and females gathered in front of the barracks, and soon enough the General made an appearance. It seemed like even he was getting rest and Gwen could not help but sniffle when she saw him dressed in casual clothes. Upon seeing him, the soldiers saluted him and stood up in lines in front of him. Gwen was still out of it but followed the crowd so that she did not look like a fool. She was sure that her sleepiness was the least important thing at that moment. With the chance of an enemy attack, it seemed like the other so

The first day of patrolling was calm and there was nothing out of the ordinary. But on the second day, things decided to take a turn and become interesting despite Gwen’s wishes that they did not. She would have preferred if she and the others in her group just got to wander around the forest. Aside from the fact that she was woken up at an ungodly hour and was tired most of the time, she did enjoy walking in the forest for the most part. When she and her group had been patrolling the area for about an hour. Gwen heard the rusting of some leaves in the distance. She wanted to pass it off as an animal but knew better to be safe than sorry. The soldiers around them were mostly quiet and since they moved slowly, their footsteps were barely heard. Gwen and the people in her group slowed down and listened. They waited for something to happen and unexpectedly, they saw movement. Gwen’s heart jumped and she bit on her lip to keep herself calm.
