Love in Evil - Tammy (books for 8th graders .txt) 📗

Chapter 1: A… interesting… few days
I woke up panting; I had just had a dream which was unusual for me. Typically I didn’t have any dreams because I was trained not to, just like I was trained not to feel love, regret, and sadness, so for me to do all four at the same time was highly unusual. The dream had brought things to my attention that I had troubles forgetting but I thought I had. I knew that I couldn’t tell anyone though because if I did I would be taken away from the battle for re-training and if that didn’t work I would be killed. Besides in less than an hour I had to be at Area 2. I couldn’t help it though my thoughts floated to my dream while I hopped into my shower.
I was running the leader of the other side was almost in my reach. I killed people as I went, shooting them until my gun ran out and then using a sword to easily slice through them. However once I was at the top of the hill I saw who the general was. I stopped as he turned to look at the oncoming attack. My heart stopped. I hadn’t seen that face for four years. I felt a few tears escape and I wiped them away with a frustrated, dirty hand.
“Well isn’t this lovely I haven’t seen you in quite a while.” The, well I guess he was a man now, said.
“Yes since we had to separate because of you decision to fight for the wrong side.” I said bitterly. His face softened for a second before going back to the man he had become, an ass hole.
“Aqua you know that this is truly the right side and they have just brain-washed you into thinking that your side is right.” He tried to convince me again because he knew we would either kill each other or one of us would have to switch sides.
“Sorry but I think that you are wrong and that they are the ones who have brain washed you to be accurate.” I told him.
“Do you not feel anything for me? Is this the way it is going to be? One of us kills the other because you can’t just give in and come fight for my side.” He said angrily and I rolled my eyes.
“Coming from you! None of this would have happened if you would have just stayed with me!” I shouted at him.
“Well you could have come with me! So you have just as much blame.”
“No I don’t because the only reason you left was because of that girl, yeah I saw you kissing that day.”
“You don’t understand, she kissed me I didn’t enjoy that and you know you’re the only one I ever wanted to be with!”
“Yeah well you shouldn’t have done what you did then.”
“Whatever, let’s just get to business before people get suspicious.” He said, turning to stone and posing while I drew my sword. Then I felt the sword right through my leg, but he hadn’t moved. I turned to see another soldier. I fell, the sword had hit bone, and I pulled out the sword and killed him and then got up. However another one came and I was stabbed in the stomach and I fell again. They left but he stayed and ran to me. I saw the face I had known before that night four years ago and it was crying.
“Aqua! Listen it’s going to be okay, I will take you to a hospital tent. Okay don’t die, I love you, don’t die.” He said and picked me up. He killed people with one hand and the other carried me. I tried not to but I could feel myself slipping.
“Adriane I can’t I have to go.” He looked down at me.
“NO! Just hold on we’re almost there.” But I knew it was too late I was dying and quickly. My eyes drifted closed and the last things I felt I hadn’t felt for four years. “I love you okay? I love you.” I felt the love back and mouthed the words but didn’t have enough energy to say them back. He kissed me and regret for letting him leave so easily flooded through me and then a rush of sadness for never seeing him again. Then it returned to love before I felt my soul leave. That was it I had died in my past lover’s arms. I mean what was that supposed to mean? I didn’t feel anything for him anymore or at least that is what I told myself after he left. I couldn’t help it I felt regret for letting him leave me so easily and sadness at not knowing where he was. Once I got dressed I headed to Area 2. I had to plan the next attack with my twin Elle. When I arrived she cocked her head.
“Is something wrong?” She asked and I shook my head.
“No of course not I don’t feel pain of any sorts you know that.”
“Oh right, I forgot.” She said and we sat at a table and pulled out a map that we had stolen on our last mission of the other side’s third base. It may have not been the main one but it was a start.
“Okay so I think we should dress like them and sneak in through here.” I said pointing to a back entrance that I knew they stupidly didn’t guard well.
“Okay but if we dress like them we will need to dress in all blue; we would also have to dress nice because they tend to there.” She said and I nodded my agreement.
“Yes and I suppose Aaron will have to make us fake badges.”
“Not that that would be a problem for you, he’ll make you anything anytime.” She said wriggling her eyebrows and I just rolled my eyes.
“Doesn’t matter, he is stupid to let those emotions get in the way of anything. Besides I don’t feel that for anyone and you know you shouldn’t either.” I said blandly.
“Oh right sorry.” She apologized; she was still refusing to get rid of the love feeling. She was one of the best fighters though so she was a Class A with me.
“It’s fine you wouldn’t remember. Anyway once we are in we should start at the top people because without the leaders they won’t know quite what to do. Besides by the time they do it will be to late the place will blow up.”
“Blow up?”
“Yes, on our way to the top level we will plant bombs.” I told her and she nodded.
“So do we have a plan?” She asked.
“Yes, I will see you tomorrow at ten in the morning, they are lazy there and will find it unusual for us to be there so early.” I told her and she nodded. Then I left for training the Class F, the lowest level, newbies. Today we were focusing on getting rid of feelings, starting with love. When I arrived I was greeted by a gift. Me, being my usual suspicious self, took out a metal detector and whistled for my dog to come and sniff it for poisons or anything else bad. When all was clear I opened it up. It was a book from the normal humans who didn’t have any worries, at least compared to us. It was a reading about emotions from a cousin of mine. I threw it out and turned to the class.
“Let that be a lesson to you. Never accept gifts from anyone without thoroughly testing them for anything that could kill or harm you.” I informed them. “Anyway, who here thinks they feel love, whether for family or otherwise?” I asked and a few boys and the majority of the girls raised their hands. “Okay form a single file line, five feet behind the projector.” They did so and I grabbed the machine that wiped the memory of anything good with that person and turned it on. “Okay picture that person or people and very clearly.” I said and saw them comply. “Now this will hurt a little so don’t move.” I said and quietly scanned their brains of the good memories with those people. You could see it; it was a misty white kind of thing. Besides you could see tears escape their eyes to from pain and being left with few good memories. Our technology was very advanced. Once I was done I put it into the projector and had the first girl’s people pop up as virtual ones. Then I handed her a sword and had everyone back up. “Okay slice through them until they are dead.” I commanded her and of course she complied and then handed me the sword afterward without regret or sadness anywhere on her face. I had everyone do that and then we were finished when a girl’s hand rose.
“Who is that?” She asked pointing.
“Umm…” I said looking out of the window walking swiftly to it and felt my heart leap and then stop. He caught my eye and then ran, I ran out of the room and chased him but he was quicker and had a head start. He was gone but I ran still I couldn’t help it. Finally I stopped just out of the grounds and walked back in. I had to check for anything harmful on the grounds now. I stopped though and took a breather. I had just seen Adriane after four years and one dream. I didn’t know what that meant but I knew it wasn’t good. I shook it off; I didn’t have any feelings for him and him any for me. I dismissed the class and went to the tower to announce lockdown. I sounded the siren and grabbed the microphone. “Code red I need all high commanders at the tower immediately. Code red.” I waited while they all arrived.
“What happened?!” Aaron asked and I shrugged.
“Someone got onto the grounds but he had a head start so I couldn’t get to him fast enough. He left but we need to check the grounds for anything harmful. The lower commands need to get the untrained people and put them in a safe secure place.” I commanded and a few men jogged away.
“Did you see who it was?” Elle asked and I looked straight into her eyes.
“No, I couldn’t see his face, he was turned away from me the whole time.” I lied easily; after all I had been trained to lie. Aaron whirled me around to face him.
“Are you sure?” He asked and I looked him in the eyes this time.
“Yes I am completely sure.” I lied again and he nodded.
“Okay, what do you want the rest of us to do?” He asked me sounding very much like he didn’t know and I rolled my eyes.
“Obviously she can’t do the entire ground search on her own quick enough if there is a bomb somewhere.” Elle said rolling her eyes as well. I grinned as he nodded then we separated into groups of two and went off. “Sooo, you sure about not seeing anyone?” Elle asked and I nodded.
“Yes I am completely sure.”
“Okay then why were you shaken this morning?” She asked getting straight to her real point. I looked at her, she was my best friend and twin but I still wasn’t sure about telling her. Then again if I didn’t she hadn’t been trained not to feel hurt yet so I should probably tell her.
“Okay but
