Jade P.O.V
"SNIPER." Dash shouts on the intercom.
"Fuck." I mutter knowing someone had to be shot for them to know that. I grab my own 50. Caliber and look at the top of buildings. I look behind me hoping Tori followed my instructions. Good, she's know where in sight.
"Tori, I'm moving from my post. No matter what you hear next to you, don't move till I or Shark gets you. Got that?" I instruct into my intercom.
"Jade I'm scared." She whispers over the intercom. I stop and lean against the wall.
"I know. I know. It's going to be okay. You'll be okay. I promise." I whisper back.
"Will you be okay?" She asks with a worried tone in her voice.
"I promise." I repeat not answering her question.
"Jade, will you be okay?" She persists on. I don't respond back and move from my spot. I look across from me noticing the apartment building. 3,2,1 I sprint across street and enter the apartment building door. I rush for the roof and set up my caliber and look through the scope for the enemy sniper.
"Come on Lilith, don't fail me now. Dash what's the situation?" I ask on the intercom. All I hear is gun fire from 4 blocks over.
"Dash, Report." I snap on the intercom becoming frustrated.
"Sorry boss. Saber's been hit. We got into nearby house. Delta team is working their way up to us with a medic. I think that was their gun fire." I glance through my scope again noticing movement on a nearby water tower.
"I located the sniper. I want Shark to stay back with Saber. You and Giant move out and get into positions on the outhouse."
"Roger that." I look into my scope again to see if the sniper is still there.
"We're moving into position boss." Dash says over the intercom.
"On my count boys. 3,2" I say aiming my scope for the other sniper's forehead.
"1! Open fire ladies. Dash the rest is up to you." I shout over the intercom while pulling the trigger to my caliber. My sniper jerks back but the bullet still hits the enemy square in the head.
"Tori I'm coming to get you. Don't move." I say waiting for a response.
"Tori?" I repeat. Then I hear it. Footsteps come from her intercom.
"TORI!" I shout, the nothing but static.
I place my caliber on my back and sprint down the stairs. I put a mirror out the door way of the apartment. I see no one in the street so i begin sprinting down the street. I turn a left corner then a right corner entering a neighbor hood. I look around for the house i put her in. Looking around i open the door and close it quietly the run a bedroom up stairs. I quietly knock 4 times and I hear the door unlock. Toris face pops through the crack of the door. She opens it slowly then lets me in. I enter the bedroom and close the door behind me. Tori looks at me the rush to me. She clutches on me tightly and starts crying.
"Shh. It's okay im here now. Tor you gotta be quiet okay?" I whisper into her ear trying to calm her down. Thats when I here glass break from down stairs. I put my hand on her mouth to silence her. She goes wide-eyed and stops sniffling. I take my hand off her mouth. I then sign to her that ill check downs stairs. I pull out two pistols and hand one to her and put a silencer on mine. I then sign to her to not open the door unless there's a knock. I put my hand on the doorknob but she stops me. She turns me to her and kisses me softly. I rest my forehead on hers. I pull back knowing i have to go now or i wont be able to leave her side. I kiss her forehead then turn around to open the door. I put my mirror in the hallway. I exit the bed room and head for the stairs. I hear someone talking down stairs.
"Sarg. Are you sure someone came in here." I look around the corner into the dinning room and see a guy in a red military suit there.
"Yes I checked up stairs. Okay. I'll go check." He says. I pull back against the wall and wait for him to enter the hallway with a knife in and pistol in my hands. He turns and looks surprised. I shoot before he can do anything. I rush back up stairs to get Tori. I knock on the door and she opens it.
"We need to leave now." I order. She nods and hands me the gun.
"Hold on to that. We aren't safe yet." I open the door again and walk the stairs. I turn around i and look at her.
"We need to exit through the back." I say and motion her to follow me around the dead guy on the floor. We're almost out when the front door slams open.
"Shit." I mutter.
"Keep quiet. And no matter what if anything happens you need to leave." I crouch walk to the hallway and put a mirror to look. Theres a guy examining the dead body. Thats when i hear gun fire from Toris direction. I stand up and run back to where i left her. Another dead guy is in front of her and she's stands there wide-eyed. She looks up and a flash of horror shines on her face. I quickly turn around remember the other guy in the house and shoot. He drops dead but a sharp pain enters my right shoulder. I look down at it and crimson red start to appear on my military jacket. I fall back but Tori catches me.
"JAADDEEE." She shouts on at the top of her lungs.
"Somebody Shark, Dash. ANYBODY PLEASE HELP. JADES BEEN SHOT. PLEASE HELP HER." Shes shouting on the intercom. I look at her and cough.
"When enemies are at your door.." I try to sing out but cough again. The metallic taste of blood enters my mouth. She looks down at me. Shes crying again.
"I'll carry you away from war..." I finish smiling at her. I cough up and start gasping for air. Her eyes widen and she turns my on my side till i stop coughing. She rolls my back to her and applies pressure on the gun wound
"Shhh. Don't talk. Please Stay with me jade. I need you... I love you" She says crying over my body.
"I love..."

1 MONTH EARLIER; June, 14, 2035
"Hey Lightning?" Its Dash. I drop my fork into my plate of mac n cheese, stand up and turn around and give him my nastiest look. His eyes widen and he looks like he just peed his pants. I laugh and ruffle his dark curly hair.
"What's up kid?" I ask even though he's 2 years younger than me. Dash joined the military at 16. His real name Robbie but we all call him dash for how fast he can do things. I've known the kid since he was 12 but he's lived at the base ever since he was born. I will never forget the first time i met him. He asked me to race him, and when I told him it wouldnt be fair he just laughed. I then raced him and got my ass handed to me.
After WWIII ended in 2027 The government changed the age to join the military to 16 instead of 18. WWIV broke when I was 17. I joined the military that summer. Ace took me under his wing and thats when i met the team. Our team consists of Ace, Saber, Dash, Shark, Giant, Hot-Shot, and I. Ace is our captain. His real name is David and he's in his 40's now at 6'3 with dark brown hair and brown eyes. He has a wife and 2 daughters. His right hand man, or woman is Saber. Sabers real name is Cat. She's 22 with long Red Hair. She's a bit bipolar so she can make your day very happy or very hellish. Then theres Shark. If i wasn't gay then i'd probably date him. His real name is Beck and he is defiantly a looker but is also a kind guy. But you can't forget Giant. His real name is Andre. He has big long dread locks and is defiantly a giant. Last but not least theres Hot-Shot. His real name is Ryder. Hes good looking like Shark but has the opposite personallity. He's sort of an asshole and a big ladies man, but I put him in his place when it's needed.
"Ace wants to talk to you?" Dash says looking a little less sacred.
"What for?"
"I don't know. He just said it was important." I ruffle his hair again.
"Thanks kid." I say smiling. He smiles back and i exit the cafeteria. I quickly walk to his office curious about what he wants. The door is open but i knock anyway. He looks up and smiles. I notice someone sitting
"Enter." He says. I enter, stand behind the empty chair and salute.
"At ease, Light. Sit," He says still smiling. I smile back at him and sit.
"I want you to meet someone. Jade this is my daughter Tori, Tori this is light... Jade." I turn to her and study her carefully. When i look back at her eye I notice the nervousness in them. I smile lightly at her.
"The name is Jade, but everyone calls me Lightning or Light." I say holding out my hand. She looks down at my hand and looks confused. She looks back at me and i smile again. This time she smiles back and shakes my hand.
"Victoria Vega. But Tori for short." She says still smiling. She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear and thats when i notice how pretty she actually is. I shake my head and turn back to Ace.
"I would like you to show her around. She's going to be here for a while." He says.
"It would be my pleasure. How about the famous Alpha tour?" I say directing to Tori. She looks at her dad then back at me.
"Sure." She says still smiling.
"Alright, Lets go." I say standing up. I salute to Ace and he salutes back. I then turn around and hold the door open for Tori.
"Sooo, whats the famous Alpha tour?" She asks. I pull out a key card and show her.
"The team your dad runs is a special black ops team. He intrust 2 members of our team with a key card like this and we can enter and room on this base with no questions asked. Being part of the Alpha team you only have 3 people you really listen to. Ace, The President, and.. medics." I finish. She giggles a bit but trys to cover it up.
"Why medics?" She asks trying not to giggle again.
"When a medic tell you to stop, or to be careful, or anything, you should listen. I learned that one the hard way." I say sheepishly.
"How?"
"I had a cut on my leg and my doc told me not to train for a week. I didn't listen and it got infected so she put me on bed rest until i healed." I say rubbing the back of my neck. She laughs and pout a bit. She laughs even harder so i just begin walking. I show her the medic center, the training, the pool, the sports courts and the dormitories and their showers. I hear a low grumble next to mea and i look at Tori. A slight blush is painted on her face and she looks to the ground.
"You hungry?" I say laughing. She shakes her head and her stomach growls louder. I smile at her. I look at my watch at it read 12:15.
"It's the middle of lunch, I think they might still be serving if you hurry." I say.
"Thanks." I show her to cafeteria and she orders a burrito. I look around to see if the guys are still sitting down and to my luck they are.
"Over here." I motion her to follow. The first person to notice Tori is Giant
"So who's the lady friend?" He says wiggling his eye brows as i pull out my chair for Tori. I give him death stare to shut him up.
"Guys this is Tori. Ace's Daughter. Tori, This is Giant, Shark, Dash, Hot-shot, and Saber." Everyone says Hello to her except Saber. She looks from Tori to me then looks back at her food. I sit next Tori. My stomach grumbles loudly and i sigh.
"Look who's hungry now." She laughs.
"Here take my fries." She says offering her food.
"NO TAKE MINE." Saber says out of the blue. I raise my eyebrow at her and she retracts her hand. Tori glances at her then looks back at me.
"I think ill take Giant" I say taking his tray of french fries.
"Hey, I was gunna at those." He says through a mouth full of burger. Everybody laughs at him Including Tori.
"Well, now i'm eating them." I say waiting to see if he's going to challenge me. He pouts a finishes his burger.
"Im gunna go for a work out session, anyone in?" Shark says.
"I'll Go." Saber gets out quickly. I watch her leave like the last time I watch her leave. I shake my head clearing my thoughts.
"Whats up with her?" Tori Asks. I sigh and look at Giant and Dash. They both get up and leave.
"Was it something i said?" She says in a worried voice.
"No, they just know Saber and I are a touchy subject."
"Oh.. Im sorry, you don't need to tell me." she says tucking her hair behind her ear again.
"No, its fine, Ill tell you. I joined the Alpha Team when i was 19. Saber was my first real friend besides Ace. We'd train together, eat lunch together, everything we did. On night she asked me out on a date and by the end of the date, she kissed me. We were a thing for 8 or 9 months when she broke things off..." I trail off now picking at my fries.
"Oh, Im sorry." She says. I look into her eyes like im searching for something.
"Don't be... You done yet?" I say changing the subject. She looks down to her plate.
"Yeah just about. I have stuff to do like unpacking so i should go do that." She says shyly.
"Want me to walk you to your room?" I say not want her to leave yet.
"You don't need to."
"I want to." I smile. She looks into my eyes and gives me a small smile. On the walk back we don't say anything but its not awkward. Its just a mice soothing silence. She opens her door then turns back to me and kisses me on the cheek. I feel my face heat up.
"I was nice meeting you. Sorry about Saber." She says. She then closes her door and leaves me to stand here with my emotions. I walk back to my room to take a nap. When i enter my room I strip down to my Bra and Panties and put on and big t-shirt. Im about to lay down when a soft knock resonates from the door.
"Enter." I say sitting guessing who it is. My guess is right when Sabers head pops into the door.
"Youre about to take a nap?... I should come back later.." She says softly.
"No, its good. What's up?" I ask.
"I just wanted to say... I needed to say... I.." She stutter. She looks at the ground frustrated. She then walks up to me and kisses me. My heart beat pick up quickly. A million emotions corse through my veins but the one i feel most is pain. I feel her start to pull away so I grab her hand and gently kiss her back. Her tongue snakes out and she licks my bottom lip almost begging for entrance. I pull back and rest my forehead on hers. I feel tears stream down my eyes.
"Why? You're the one who ended things." I whisper.
"I couldn't stand seeing you with her or anybody else. I miss you so much." She says trying to kiss my again. I pull back and turn my head.
"Cat, please leave." I say sighing.
"But I..."
"Just leave." I say pointing at the door. She gives me a sad look at leaves. I walk over to my bed and lay down wanting to fall asleep. My heart feels like its been ripped in half, and my head fills like its going to explode. The last thing I think about before i fall asleep is Tori kissing my cheek.
For Clarification: I staggered everybody age. Jade is 20 and Tori is 19. Trina and Holly (Tori's Mom) are also on base. There will be a bit more Cade but this will turn into a Jori. Lilith is the name of Jades sniper rifle. It's also a character from the game Borderlands and Borderlands 2. The beginning song is Gone Gone Gone by Phillip Phillips (Which is inspired me to write this.
AN:I know exactly where i want this to go so i will have next part up pretty soon. Like i said before I break next week so ill be able to update this and other things as well. Im thinking about taking JP down. I won't take it down if i can get chapter 4 to be really good, but for now im focusing on this on other things I have to finish.
