FOUR MONTHS LATER."My body is demanding a long rest, Sia but I can't consent to the request," Damon muttered, emptying his mug of beer. They're in the army base bar for a drink after a hectic day at work, Damon looks wry while Sia just stares at him with admiration. "You know, you're one strong man, yeah, I know the general meant well for you but fuck! You're getting drained, look at you... You study, train, go on different deadly missions, and still carry out your duty in his office. I'll want to be like you when I grow up." She teased and Damon gave her a smirk. "In a way, I love everything I'm doing but I still feel shitty sometimes. When I'm working or studying, I just wish to give in to laziness and sleep like a baby." He muttered and she chortled.Damon grinned, he still asks himself sometimes how he and Sia get to be so close, he just sees himself warming up to her suddenly, he still has his reserves but they're on good talking time.It turns out Sia was staying in the gene
"You're unfortunate Damon! You're frivolity!! you'll always be nothing!!" A female voice screeched, despite the blurry image, one could tell how much hatred her voice held. "I regretted getting involved with you! I hate you Damon, I hate you!! I wish I never met you. I cursed the day I met you, cursed the day our eyes locked... I curse you and everything that you represent, you're not worth being called a man Damon, you're not." The voice rants and rants on the silhouette sitting quietly and listening to her. The silhouette of the woman went towards the man's silhouette sitting and began to hit him but the man did not attempt to block her weak punches, he just allowed her to hit and scream at him. "I hate you, Damon, I loathe you!!" She shouted, her vulnerable fist connecting to the man's back.His hands suddenly grabbed the woman's hands and their eyes locked, "You can detest me all you want Celena but I love you and I always will." A deep voice muttered and hugged the crying strug
Having lunch with the general was not part of his off-day plans, he'd planned to have a training session with Trevor during the afternoon. Lunch or eating together wasn't something that happens at the mansion so he was surprised when the general called him down for lunch. He waddled down with confusion, his brain recounting the scene that happened in the morning, he stopped and banged his fist on the wall. How stupid was he? He shouldn't have allowed it in the first place but he was helpless. "Are you okay?" A concerned voice asked from behind and he was quick to turn."Good afternoon, general." He saluted upon sighting the general coming towards him with concern etched on his face. He took Damon's hand and examined it and the baffled Damon was in shock due to the sudden show of concern. "I'm fine, sir." He muttered, shock evident in his voice. "What the hell was that for!? How could you bang your fist on the wall, do you know you could have a fracture or sprain? And I'm sure y
Many eyes gazed at the two moving figures that seem to be in a deep conversation, it was a wonder to them that the general had taken a fondness to the new man when he had entered the base, no one thought he'd become the general's favorite because the general has no favorite, he treated his soldiers equally but everything changed ever since Damon came into their base. Everyone had thought that General Leo despised Damon because of how brutal he was towards him, how he thrusts him forward in diverse dangerous challenges, and whenever he emerged victorious, he pushed him deeper into dangerous life-threatening ones. It was a shocker to most of them but it doesn't surprise some because the general is a man that's unpredictable and Damon seems to be following his unpredictable nature when it comes to his dealings though he has his distinctive traits. It was rumored that the general must have known him from the past or perhaps he was part of his past but no one dared say it out of fear of
Everything was peaceful in the base for the past few weeks, everyone go about their normal routine without any fuss, there had been a little fight over here and there but it was a normal thing around the Base. The Base cafeteria is huge and beautiful but Damon hardly uses it, he's so used to eating Sia's meal that he doesn't like the taste of the food being prepared in the cafeteria. "Why's your face looking so unpleasant?" Joe asked, puffing on his cigarette."Nothing, just don't like the taste of the food, it's bland, dude." He replied, pushing the tray forward.Joe chuckled and took another puff of his cigarette, "The food tastes fine, Damon. You're just too used to taking Sia's delicious food that you forgot how the food over here tastes like." Joe grinned, offering him a cigarette which he refused immediately. The general would punish him if he finds out that he smokes so early in the morning. It had become Joe's habit and most of the other soldiers but the general had strictl
"Damon...I love you, I love you so much and nothing would ever change that. I don't care what my family says about you, I don't give a fuck, all that matters is that we love each other." A female voice breathed out the confession to Damon who was all smiles. Just by looking at his face, one could tell that he was feeling on top of the world, the only woman that ever mattered to him, wants him as much as he wants her, loves him as much as he loves her. For the first time in years, he didn't curse the wrenched world, he didn't blame God or life... He was feeling content and fulfilled to have her, as long as she was by his side, he'd conquer the world. "I love you too Celena, I love you so much and I don't want to live without you by my side. I promise, I'll prove myself to you and your family, once we graduate, I believe I'll get the best job ever and take care of you like the queen you are." He assured her and the happy woman engulfed him in a deep hug. ********
"What's up, man?" Sia waved with a smile, coming towards Damon whose eyes were closed, head resting on the chair."I don't wanna talk to anyone Sia, let me be, will you?" He asked without moving an inch, his eyes still closed.Sia chuckled and sat next to him, there was no way she's gonna leave him. He'd been introverted ever since the casualty that happened two weeks ago, he didn't come out to do anything and she was surprised that General Leo let him stay in all day without doing anything."C'mom Damon, you need to get off this gloomy mood, it doesn't suit you, believe me. Wanna go to town and have some little fun?" She asked but the man sitting next to her didn't make a sound."Shit! You're becoming a boring person. I told you, you'll get your memories back soon but that doesn't mean you should sit idle at home. Everyone is asking about you, let's go to the Base club." She suggested and he opened his eyes lazily and sat upright, his hands palming his face. "I don't think anyone in
His eyes opened widely, angry fire reflected in his eyes…. "No.." He breathed out the phrase when he saw the mansion he'd left a few minutes ago lit up in furious fire and… and General Leo was still inside! The debris of the explosion decorated the atmosphere, soldiers came running towards the mansion that was blazing in an angry fire that threatened to burn anything down to ashes if neared. "Where's the fire squad!?" Sia asked angrily when there seemed to be no response from the department."All the water in reserve has been destroyed, nothing is left! We have no idea how the pipes got broken but we're trying our best to set everything up. They'll be here soon." A deep male voice replied and Damon's eyes flared in anger. This isn't ordinary, something is up but this is no time to think about such, "He can not die, he should not die." He mumbled to himself, his eyes trying to locate something in the burning mansion.He knew the general won't give up on his life, he'd fight, and wa
