#2 of This War Is Ours: Chapter One
"Xzenya, Wake up, please wake up!" Cried a voice, out of her thoughts. A voice she never heard before. "Xzenya, please!" cried the voice again. She could feel the pain and distraught in this voice, but who it belonged to, she had know idea. She tried mumbling something in reply, but no sound came out of her throat. "Please, wake up. Say something" She then realized it was a male's voice. How attractive it sounded, how familiar... She felt her heart race, and her blood start pumping, she didn't know that it had stopped. She didn't feel the pain, now she did. She screamed at the searing pain on her left side, shocked, and terrified, she screamed louder, and louder, the rage boiled up inside her, all came out at once. swiping, and biting at whoever was holding her, then she saw black, pitch black, and all was numb.
Two days later, I woke up in a hospital tent. Not knowing where I was, or why I was there. I've never been in this place before accept to bring other soldiers in. I moved around, and regretted that decision the second I made it. The pain, cause my whole body to jolt and shudder, causing the pain to sear through my entire body. "Miss, Are you okay?" asked a nurse that showed up beside me in an instant. "I'm just fucking dandy!" I screamed at her. "You are a fisty one, your commander told me you would be. "Well, my commander can go fuck himself, right now." I replied, growling. "well miss, you should be grateful, He saved your life out there" she replied in an overly happy tone. I looked at her in shock. 'Was that whose voice it was?' i thought to myself. "okay well, we need you to try and sit up, so we can change the bandage" She said after I didn't reply. I looked down at where she was pointing and saw the blood seeping through. Shocked again, I looked at the wound carefully, and without thinking I starting sitting up.
I gasped in pain, as the nurse told me to take it easy. 'yeah, right' I thought to myself sarcasticly. I watched her carefully unwrap the used to be white gauze, and watched her taking out the alcohol to clean it. I winced as I prepared for the pain that was about to come. "you'll be fine miss, it will help it from getting infected" She reassured me in that same happy tone that irritated the hell out of me. I looked at her and said "Do you get a kick from cleaning someone's wounds, because I think you're all to damn happy to do this job" "No, miss, i don't. I smile to prevent from crying." she replied, in a someone unhappier tone. A tone that made me feel more comfortable. Less, happy. "All done miss, now please do me a favour, and get some more rest, you need it." She said to me, smiling like she's the happiest person alive. I looked at her and rolled my eyes, relaxing onto the not so comfortable cot. Closing my eye's I fell asleep instantly.
"Nurse how is she?" I heard the voice asking, quietly. "She'll be fine, sir. The bullet skimmed the side of her torso, making the wound look worse than it actually is. Although, She hasn't eaten much yet in three days, so her waking up now would be a good idea" The nurse replied. 'Three days? really?' I opened my eyes slowly to see who the voice belonged to. I looked around at my surroundings again. Seeing that nothing has changed, I looked up at the two people who were talking about me. My eyes caught the first glimpse of him, and shuddered. He stood straight. His hair cropped in the perfect army style that goes to all commanding officers. I looked at his huge brown eyes. There was something mysterious about them, something amazing. Something I wanted to get to find out. As I continued down, I could've memorized his entire face, in the thirty seconds that I stared. My eyes wandered unconscously down his muscular body, memorizing every line and scar that was on his tanned skin. It must have been sunny and warm out, considering he was wearing a T-shirt like suit. I continued to stare, until the nurse caught my attention by saying "She's awake, I'll leave you too alone as I go get something for her to eat and drink" "Thank you lizzy" he saluted her as she walked away. He then turned and looked at me, and if I wasn't so confused about these new emotions, I would've said something sarcastic.
"Xzenya... Are you okay?" He asked worriedly. I continued to stare at him dumbfoundedly, wondering what this was about, why did I sense worry in his voice? i've only heard the tone once in my life, Before I became a machine... He stared at me in silence, after a few minutes he said "Xzenya, don't you remember me? It's Drayden. Officer Drayden." I tried to remember, but why couldn't I?
(thats all for now. :])
