"URGENT NEED OF reinforcements OVER"said the man in the hand held radio( L3 Harris multiband) still looking through the binoculars on enemy's movements.

But there wasn't any response from the headquarters.

His eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "We are in urgent need of reinforcements" but no response came from the other side, rage filled him as reality dawned on him and he gritted his teeth so hard.

They were abandoned,

Their own country abandoned them in front of the enemy but he couldn't understand the reason, they literally left them to die.

"Captain", a soldier asked for further orders, he turned to see his team, almost hundred soldiers waiting for his orders.

His eyes roamed around them and connected with those light brown eyes, that unknowingly give him an emense sense of relief, the only girl in his team.

Those were the eyes that understood him without him even saying anything.

"Retreat" her small voice was heard by everyone thorough the bluetooth set and everyone looked at her and then at their captain waiting for further orders.

She had already tried to reach the headquarters as she had guessed the situation, but to no avail.

"RETREAT IMMEDIATELY" the soldiers heard their captains voice for a second nobody moved but they started to retreat after a while.

David walked towards his second in command and most powerful and sensible among his other soldiers.

"Did you were your vest?"

"I don't need it" said the brown eyed girl

"You..." he sighed and took of his bulletproof vest and gave it to her.

"I don't ne...."

he himself made her wear it and started to retreat with the other soldiers.

But they didn't knew that they were already surrounded.

Suddenly the firing started and they were caught off guard.

"OPEN A PATH, CONTINUE TO RETREAT"

David ordered, as he was leading the soldiers and Laurain was at the end guarding the back side.

The area was a forest near the border of country A and country C,

full of mines and traps, the most dangerous area if it was difficult to enter the forest it was even more difficult to get out of there unscathed.

The terrorists were approaching them as they were already waiting for them to fall in their trap.

"TRAITOR" Laurain gritted out

As she continued to fire, the situation was getting chaotic.

David's only goal know was to save the life's of his team. Many soldiers were already injured as they couldn't even understand from where the bullets were coming it was as if there was a rain of bullets, adding it was night time it was really difficult, each and everyone of them was vigilant and was seeing death up close.

But they were the best team so they managed to somehow survive this bullet rain

Laurain started shooting at mines causing an explosion one after another diverting the terrorists for a few seconds, it was not easy to blow up a mine from a gunshot. Moreover it was night time. The mines will only blow up if it hits the switch on it.

The helicopters were their in which they arrived but they were almost 4-5 kilometers from their position, the forest was empty if not for their intel they wouldn't have known that there were terrorists hiding there.

The soldiers guarding the line of control mostly keep their eyes on the forest only through the binoculars, of course they wouldn't have known the terrorists hiding deep in their pits and caves.

The area after the forest was save but

"Keep hidden, walk through the bushes to the copters don't let the soldiers know you are alive and save just go don't look back...

(Laurain gritted her teeth)

IF ANYONE TRIES TO STOP YOU SEND HIM UP EVEN IF THEY ARE OUR OWN SOLDIERS"

Laurain commanded as they almost reached the end of the forest.

Laurain herself was injured a bullet just crossed from the side of her head leaving a deep gash on the right side of her face just above the ear if she hadn't moved she would be dead by know.

She knew that if she didn't stop the terrorists from advancing they all will die, well she was not afraid of dieing but she can't die know without fulfilling her promise. Also that was not the only reason of her again going back in the fire.

She had already moved inward towards the forest as she was giving them orders David did the same as he himself knew the situation.

The both of them were perfect for being the leaders.

Laurain just keeping moving forward her vigilant eyes scanning her area.

There were more than two hundred people.

Some trees caught fire due to the explosion and it was spreading very fast, causing smoke.

Going forward while hiding behind the trees and bushes she killed many terrorists

Her vest already had 3 holes.

She was hiding behind a tree when a bullet pierced her arm but there wasn't a single change in her expression. She just turned and shooted in the direction from where the bullet came from.

She kept moving

"DID You reach the chopper" davids voice came through the ear piece and she stilled.

That bastard didn't go.

There was no response

And davids face paled a little

"Co..mm...rr W..rr I.. s.a..e"

And the line went dead.

But they soon heard the noise of helicopters above.

They both sighed in relief

"BASTARD why didn't you goo"

David who was relieved,again received a huge shock , he really didn't thought that laurain was still here,

Well the biggest shock was that she called him, HIM a bastard.

"You little... are you trying to run away again"

"If i get out ALIVE"

Laurain's tone was full of sarcasm.

"You should respect your leader"

"First you should make sure that you get out of here ALIVE"

They both continued their killing spree as they moved forward and towards each other.

The forest was abandoned by both the countries as there were many wild animals and the forest was really big. No one really know what lies in the forest but they took security measures by planting mines etc.

"Do you see the warehouse?"

Laurain asked she hid behind the bushes watching the warehouse through the binoculars.

"There wasn't any intel about it"

David also came and hid himself. They completely covered themselves by lying down in the bushes.

"You're fast"

Laurain looked at david inspecting him for any injuries, thanking God that he was not injured severely.

They didn't need words to understand each other.

"I will go forward you guard the back" she said it with such intensity that no one would dare go against her.

But it was David with whom she was talking to,

"You can't order me i am the captain"

"Captain guard the back I'll be back"

Laurain started to move towards the ware house

"This area is not in our territory"

"What do you mean"

"Mean we are no longer in our territory" Laurain replied rolling her eyes.

"You, come back""

"SHUT UP"

"You are surrounded"

"GO BACK"

David didn't replied,

"DAMN YOU, DON'T YOU DARE COME HERE "

Laurain almost yelled,

Attracting the attention of the enemies and they immediately started firing at her.

"Damn it" laurain hid behind a tree and started to shoot the snipers first sitting on the top of the long trees.

She took down most of them down and reloaded her rifle with the last batch of bullets.

Almost 100 people were hiding in the warehouse. She was still a few kilometers away from the warehouse.

They were coming closer and closer.

Laurain checked both her hand guns taking a deep breath she came in front of almost 30 people aiming at her

BANG

BANG

BANG

and starting shooting at them without batting an eyelid and immediately hid herself behind another tree.

She then taking the shield of the old trees came behind them and started shooting. More than half of them died in a matter of few seconds. She never missed her target.

She herself got hit many times but the vest protected her. She did such a stunt knowing that she is wearing a vest.

The remaining were killed by David as he came forward.

"You were hiding" laurain stated.

"You're good"

BANG

BANG

"Ahh"

David killed the man hiding behind the tree but just as he killed him he also fired.

Laurain didn't know what happened as in a flash David came infront of her and pushed her down She didn't knew that there was a man hiding behind the tree on her right side aiming for her head.

David got shot in the chest near his heart and fell down.

Laurain blanked out. She didn't knew what happened as she just stared at David as his shirt got soaked with blood.

She crawled towards him and put his head on her lap as the both just stared at eachother.

Tip

Tip

Tip

Laurain's tears mixed with blood landed on his face. As her eyes slowly turned red, blood red, the sclera (white part of the eye) completely turned red. It looked as she was shedding tears of blood.

David knew that there was no chance of him surviving in this situation, so he decided to finally confess to her.

David was breathing difficultly, his hand moved towards her small face

"I... l..o.v...e ..y..o.u...s.o...m..u.c..h"

The twenty years old man finally confessed to the almost 16 year old girl.

"I too i love you too don't leave me alone. Ok"

Laurain said hurriedly not waiting for even a second, with child like innocence, trying to believe that he will stand up in the next second.

But the reality was far from it.

David smiled a little, his eyes shining with love and adoration.

She was for the first time crying, like a child which she was, so loudly and miserably in front of anyone.

"Please please don't leave me not y..o.u ...too" she croaked out choking on her on own tears, begging for the first time, her one hand on his face as she fixedly stared at him, and other on his chest applying pressure.

".r...e..m..e.m..b.e..r......i..w...i..ll...a..ll..w..a..y..s ...b..e ..w.i..t..h ...y..o.u"

David said looking at her face as if trying to engrave her face in his mind.

"I'll save you, you don't worry ok"

Laurain said with confidence.

"H..mm...I...b.e..l.i..e..v..e ...y..ou" tears leaking from the corners of his eyes, as he continued to caress her face.

"Hang on for a while ok, i will get you out." Laurain herself didn't know what she was saying.

"I..w..i..sh...y..ou...l.i..ve ..a..l.o..ng..h.a.p..y....l..i..f..e"

And he closed his eyes, his hand fell down to his side.

"NO NO NO don't leave me , don't leave me please please i beg you" Laurain cried as she hugged him with all her strength.

Ahhh

Laurain shouted and cried as if she was in soo much pain, unbearable pain.

Her heart felt cold extremely cold as someone has dipped her in ice cold water.

She once again felt lonely.

Once again she felt more lonely than the dead night and more cold than november's cold and harsh weather.

5 years later,

"Do you accept Mr. Tom Long as your lawfully wedded husband"asked the priest. Laurain was in trance she never would have thought something so absurd could happen with her. She came back from her thoughts when she felt a slight pinch on her hand it was not a slight pinch as it left a red mark on her hand.

But who could blame tom he had to exert some force because she was not responding to his slight pinches. Laurain looked at kate sitting at the other corner in a beautiful bridal dress the real bride of the man standing next to her. The priest again asked " Miss laurain do you take Mr. tom as your lawfully wedded husband". At that time everyone in the hall was silent everyone was waiting for her answer everyone thought that she would not answer.

Atlast there was a faint voice "yes I accept" it was enough for tom to have sigh of relief he thought that she would just disregard everything and everyone and just went away as it was nothing. It was nothing to laurain she herself does not understand why she said yes but the way she spoke it looked as she is accepting a some type of thing. Tom has thought all of all the situations that may result in her rejection his reputation will be tarnished he will become a joke and his high self esteem and ego will be hurt he really doesn't want 'her' to see him become a joke. He doesn't want to look pathetic as he looked two days before the wedding.

"The groom may kiss the bride know" said the priest "you dare" was the answer laurain gave him in return. Her voice was so cold that even the priest did not want to look at her at the moment. It was like he was the one that did the mistake of asking them to kiss. The priest looked at the bride only to see that she was glaring daggers at him he felt like if he was alone he already would have been dead by her hands. Tom was caught in a difficult situation he moved a inch more closer to laurain and lightly kissed her on the forehead and whispered a sorry.

"We should start the ceremony for the next bride and groom" the priest said as tom and laurain went to their seats. Laurain's face didn't show any kind of emotion she was neither sad nor happy. It was only a mistake that disturbed her from her original path. Her path of revenge. Near her these things have absolutely no significance. But she was still stupefied that how she got herself married.

2 days before the wedding

In Air Force every soldier has to undergo different types of training. They train their soldiers both mentally and physically.

Its been a year and a half since laurain entered air force only for improving herself and she could even learn how to fly a fighter plane.

There were 9 girls that entered the air force with laurain. They were all friends with each other as there were only few girls that got enrolled in the academy as compared to boys.

Today was Nora's best friend Kate's engagement ceremony and she invited all of them as she was friend with all of them.

They reached the Royal Complex, most expensive complex in city M. The engagement ceremony was held in hall 3. The hall was decorated very beautifully there was a stage in the front there were 2 pillars on both side of the stage filled with red and white roses.The stage was not that big as only 5 people could stand. Laurain and her friends went to table at the right corner of the hall as kate was no where to be seen. They were all chatting when Mrs Vincent Long, Kate's mother got the attention of everyone and asked kate and tom to come on the stage.

Kate and Tom were cousins.

Everyone clapped as Kate and Tom got on the stage.

A little girl brought the rings placed in beautiful tray. Tom picked up the ring and put it on Kate's finger. Anyone could see that Tom was very happy from his expressions it was like a spring has came for him. Kate on the other hand was contemplating whether to put the ring on Tom's finger or not.

At last she did not and ran to a corner where Harry was standing. Kate and Harry loved eachother. Kate had told her parents that she doesn't want to marry tom but they told her that nothing could be done as their relatives have already known. They did so only because of her because first she fought with them to allow her to be with the one she loved. But a week before the engagement she wanted to cancel it. Nothing could be done at that time as two days after the engagement was their wedding. If they cancel the wedding at this time they will not be able to show their face to anyone. And their hard earned reputation will be tarnished.

"Will you marry me?" Kate said with a very beautiful smile.

Harry who was very sad hugged her the moment she spoke these words.

Kate Long was a beautiful women with slim body and pretty face her long hair were put into a flower bun with her red offshoulder dress in which she looked very petite.

Harry Bernard was a handsome gentleman. He courted kate for almost a year. He fell in love with her at first sight. He was wearing a black suit in which he looked more handsome his sharp features earned him many stares from girls but his eyes were fixed only on kate.

When kate came to harry he was so happy that he hugged her with all his might

All were silent at the moment no one thought that kate would run from her own engagement. Tom was speechless he didn't understand what happened she was just about to put the ring on his finger. He was angry when he saw her asking harry to marry her.

Their relatives started talking in whipers about what happened. Kate brought harry on the stage with her and said

"I'm sorry for what happened today but the one who I want to marry and the one who I love is Harry. I cannot get engaged with Tom"

She took of the ring and gave it back to Tom.

Tom snapped out, looked at everyone and kate than said

"I also have something to say. As kate is now with the one she loves than I should also be with the one I love." Everyone was like 'what the ****'. Saying this he went to a certain direction.

Laurain was texting at the moment. Tom, has seen a girl staring at their direction for a long time even after she saw him staring back at her she didn't looked away,and went straight to her. Laurain was typing a message when someone grabbed her hand when she looked up she saw a handsome man dressed in a white suit. He was looking at her with sadness and pleading eyes

Laurain's mind was already occupied with something really important she didn't know of the drama going on.

Tom grabbed laurain's hand and started dragging her to the stage. Laurain was dumbfounded she didn't have a slightest idea of what was going on she heard some voices but her attention was at something else.

Tom went to the stage and said

" I also love someone else so lets continue the engagement ceremony " he said as he slid the ring on laurain's finger. He was smiling all this time but Laurain could see the sadness behind his fake smile. His eyes gave him away.

Laurain was silent all the time. She didn't do anything allowing tom to do what he wanted. She didn't even show any kind of expression only staring at his face with her big brown eyes.

Harry took out the rings which he had bought for kate and himself when he first proposed her. He thought that he would give these rings to her as a goodbye, who could have thought that they would be used by them. Harry was soo happy that he didn't understand what to do. He immediately went down on one knee and asked

"Will you marry me? My love"

Kate immediately said "Ofcourse. Yes"

Everyone clapped.

Laurain didn't know what to do. She thought it was better to excuse herself first.

"Excuse me" tom heard the beautiful voice. Her voice was gentle. Only tom heard her voice as she was standing close to tom.

Laurain went straight out of the hall. She was opening her car door when tom grabbed her hand and turned her around. Seeing the delicate features of her tom felt more guilty. He just dragged an innocent girl in his mess.

Tom wanted to say sorry but he couldn't. He was embarrassed. "Not now" laurain stopped him before he could say something. Laurain freed her hand from his grip and opened her car door.

"Tomorrow at 5, cafe latte city centre . We will talk" tom said and turned towards his car.

Laurain rushed out of the city she was driving at 140km/hr. She held the steering wheel so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

City M is a beautiful city of country A. It had been 15 years since laurain came to city M.

After a drive of almost an hour and half. Laurain's car halted out side an old factory. She came to an old abandoned industrial area located many miles away from the city.

It was already 10 at night. Not a single soul could be seen. The wind blowed laurain's hair and white frock. She was looking like a beautiful angel wandering around in the dark night.

There were many factories and mills in the area. Laurain went to a factory which was the largest. There was no one on the first floor. It was completely empty and thick layer of dust covered the floor. It looked as no one had come here in decades.

The first floor had nothing. There were only the walls and small alley on the right side which also lead to a dead end.

For other people's.

Laurain went to the small alley. Pushed the wall in front. The wall opened like a door. She went in and walked through another alley. It was completely dark. After walking for 5 min she stopped in front of the elevator. There was a password on the elevator and that was also the only source of light in that suffocating alley. She put the password went in and the pressed the button for the 10 floor.

There was no light in the elevator. Only the buttons in the elevator could be seen.

No one could guess that there were 3 people in the elevator.

In the study room. Kevin was busy doing his work on the laptop. The whole tenth floor was his study room. There were floor to ceiling bookshelves on the front and the left wall. On the right one there was a big 70 inch television. And some couches in front. Beside the bookshelf there was a door which led to his room. The whole room was lit with lights and the dark and white background added more beauty to the room even the bookshelf was all black.

There was a big table in the front. Kevin was doing his work when he heard the voice of elevator opening. The elevator serves as the door for each floor.

Laurain came in and went straight to the couch. Comfortably sat there put her head on the couch and closed her eyes.

Kevin seeing her smiled and continue doing his work.

Laurain was thinking about the things that happened. She was recalling when Mrs. Vincent Long came on the stage also the man with her. He had almond eyes and some of his hairs had turned white. Stein that should be his name. Thought laurain. Tom's parents were also there.

Laurain smiled in a self\-mocking way.

They were getting old.

She always told herself that what happened might not be true. She did not bother to investigate about them. But it seems like life played a joke with her.

After about an hour kevin came and sat down beside Laurain. She didn't bother open her eyes.

Kevin Anderson, 24 years old was Laurain's best friend, brother, and also one of the people she trusted the most. He was handsome with his black hair and black eyes his eyes as clear as water and fair white skin. He was a tall muscular man of 1.88 meters.

He sat comfortably and also put his head comfortably behind and closed his eyes.

No one spoke a single word. It feels as of they were conveying their feelings and thoughts through silence.

"There is a good news for you."

Kevin broke the silence.

"Hmm"

Laurain replied only to let him know that she was listening.

Kevin knew that Laurain was thinking about something. Kevin didn't want to disturb her so he didn't say anything else.

After a while laurain said "Investigate some people for me."

"Sure" kevin replied.

"We found 'their' base in france" kevin continued he opened his eyes to see laurain's reaction.

Laurain started to laugh lightly more like chuckling.

"The game will start soon. Let them enjoy a little more." Laurain replied still smiling. Kevin regretted his decision of seeing her reaction which give shivers down his spine. Her smile was evil.

"Can't you think it over" kevin asked genuinely. He really wanted her to leave the path she was taking. She was young and can turn over a new leaf. With her skill everything was possible for her.

"I can't. What's the use of everything if I have to give up coming so far." She said self\-mockingly looking straight in his eyes.

He stared at her for a while.

"I am not weak" Laurain replied sensing his uneasiness.

He put his hand on her shoulders from behind and put her head on his shoulder. Neither of them spoke.

Laurain closed her eyes.

They stayed in the same position for a while.

"When is he coming back?" Kevin asked.

"Next week l guess" Laurain replied

"So you're leaving next week then."

Kevin said.

"Hmm" Laurain replied.

"Whom do you want to investigate?" Kevin asked looking at laurain.

"The Long family" laurain said opening her eyes.

"Didn't you said you don't want to get involved with them." Kevin asked knitting his brows.

"Fate played a game"Laurain replied. Before kevin could ask any further she said "I have sent you the pictures investigate the people in them. If my guess is correct they should be from the Long family."

"Hmm" replied kevin and didn't ask further. It was almost 12 at night so laurain stood up and said. "Its late goodnight" "Yeah,yeah you should go you wasted my precious time. I would have finished my work till know" kevin said.

"Huh , I have never seen an underworld gang leader doing work so efficiently"Laurain said sarcastically.

"Heh Heh I am also a businessman for your kind information. You should try to show some respect to me as i work so hard to make ends meat my DEER" kevin said smiling.

"DEER! Uhh \(putting her hand on her head and sighing\) now I know why I really didn't want to show you some respect. \( moving towards kevin and putting her hand on his shoulder\) keep trying you will improve."laurain said smiling which washed of the smile on Kevin's face.

"You you... really! Go go go i have work to do" kevin said shooing her away. "Are you sure?" Laurain said seriously.

kevin glared at her hard with a grim face.

This women.

Laurain went to the elevator and pressed the button the elevator opened before entering she glared at the two men standing in the black suit in the dark elevator. No one would be able to tell that there were two men standing in the elevator. They were able to hide their presence very well.

Laurain reached the academy at 12:30 only by driving at a higher speed or it would have taken more time.

After entering through the main gate and parking her car. Laurain was going to her dorm room when the guard asked her to go to the head office first. After changing into her uniform laurain went to the head office. She knew what was coming.

Sir Allison the head of the academy give Laurain Punishment of doing 3 sets of running 5 laps around the 500 square/metre ground.

Sir Allison was a man in his early forties and maintained himself verywell so that he only looked like in his thirties. Laurain was Sir Allisons favorite candidate and soldier.

Laurain accepted the punishment. And went to the ground on the other side of the dorms where the ground was. The head office was near the ground and Sir Allison was seeing Laurain running through his floor to ceiling window. Sir Daniel knocked and entered the head office and stood beside Sir Allison who were immersed in his thoughts. Sir Daniel sighed and said " Why are you punishing her. Isnt she your favorite student"

"A soldier" Sir Allison corrected.

Sir Daniel didn't said anything and thought that the conversation was finished when Sir Allison said "She is my favorite and my pride thats why I'm punishing her."

Sir Daniel didn't expect that Sir Allison would accept that himself. It was just that he complemented her a few times which was rare of him that everyone thought that she was his favorite student.

Oh soldier.

When laurain returned to her room it was 3 in the morning. She quickly took a bath and went to bed, taking her medicines.

..........................................

"Hahahahaha sis hurry up catch me" the beautiful voice of the little girl came. Running around the beautiful flower field the three girls played together. There parents watching them from under the tree as they play happily. The whole perfect family. Without a care in the world as they spend their time in the flower field. In the sunlight the girls ran after one another.

Suddenly the sound of gunshots came and they were in there house.

"No leave us... we don't know.. anything ... the women said between her sobs. BANG the women fell to the ground covered in blood

........................

"No.. No... leave them" Laurain cried in her sleep tears rolling down her face.

............................

"Le. leave us"the girl cried protecting her little sister behind her. BANG the girl fell down with eyes open covered in blood.

..............,....,,,,,

"No...Noo leave them" she shouted tears rolling down her eyes.

........................

The little girl cried her eyes out everything was covered in blood she didn't even know what was happening. BANG the voice of the little girl died down.

The bodies of her loved ones lay their motion less covered in blood. In their house.

.........,..............

"No Noo " laurain woke up shouting from her dream. Tears rolling down from her eyes. Her hand on her chest, gasping for air.

Laurain sat up on the bed her left hand on her chest and brushed her long hairs from her face with other hand and put it on her forehead supported by her knee.

Tears continue to roll down from her eyes as she hides her face in her arm.

Only the sound of her light sobs was heard in the dark room.

It was getting more and more difficult for her...... as days pass by.

It was 5 in the morning, Laurain stood in front of her window seeing as the sun comes and brightens everything little by little, the scene gave laurain a lot of peace.

Her red eyes cold not a slight bit of warmth in them.

Laurain took a cold bath changed in a black shirt and pants put on her long dark red maroon colour coat tied her hair in a simple ponytail and put on her black pencil heals. Laurain didn't like to put on makeup her fair white skin and beautiful features were enough for her.

It was almost 6:30am when laurain

left her room she handed her application of leave for a week to the guard and asked him to put it in the head office. She then went straight to the MORGAN enterprises.

MORGAN enterprise was laurain's fathers company in which she started working since she was 17 as a manager.

Laurain Morgan Stone was the top student in MBA in Columbia University in New York and also completed her course in one year.

Laurain has the position of Vice President in the company. From a manager to the director and to VP she earned it all by her own hard\-work. The company expanded much because of her day and night of hardwork.

Mr. Morgan trusts her very much. As she never did anything neither emotionally nor physically that could hurt him or his family in anyway.
