  The angel followed the look of Connor on her back. The situation was not favorable for any of them. 

- Ali .. 

- I knew I should have done it all alone! All these years for it?!

   The demon threw a sharp look at Oliver, who made ​​him shudder. 

- This is not my fault. 

- No? And who was spoiling her during that time? I can say that I had no part of it in no time. Anyway, I want what belongs to me. 

   Oliver looked at him, bristling with wings and prepared to take off if necessary. Alice did not understand much of what was happening. There was a puddle near her that was enough to bring the vision of two large velvety black wings, with a demon. Her hair brought reflexes copper color. That was not exactly a problem as Connor had said, but his eyes were the problem. Were green as emeralds, but they also had blue reflections, like those of an angel. It became a stalemate, since she had a bit of both. This meant that she was nothing but a mestizo who, to become something, should choose between angels and demons. 

   But his attention was focused on the big jolt of energy coming from the two whose wings were ruffled and his eyes flashing. 

This is happening because of you. 

   She looked around, but found no one who could have talked to her. Maybe the sound of rain were deceiving her. They were far and Alice ran to catch up, since the new wings not obeyed her command. 

You are nothing. You will be the cause of a disgrace. 

   The girl tried his best to block these thoughts, but they came involuntarily. She was not thinking about that, but something that just unfolded in her mind. Kept running, no matter what he was thinking or not thinking. 

Alice Blade, you are weak. 

   As one thing know her name? Well, it did not matter. She was getting close to them, enough to draw their attention. Connor's eyes widened and came toward her with the fierce look. 

See? They do not need you. They need me. 

- Who are you? - Alice blurted aloud. 

   The voice did not answer. Connor continued advancing, with overwhelmingly strong energy. Oliver froze, screaming things she could not entendeer well. 

   A severe headache was enough to make her lose focus. She put her hands on the temples and a buzz took hold of his ears. The only sound she could hear was coming from inside her head. 

Alice Blade, you have to die. 

   The tears began to flow from her eyes. Everyone always told her to ignore it, but it was not easy. She even tried to walk, unsteadily, but her legs would not move. Nothing moved. Her legs tingled and her wings as her entire body. Alice tried to speak, but did not know if the words came out or not as she imagined. 

  

   Connor stopped abruptly. He could do nothing. 

- What are you doing there? 

- No use anymore. - The demon screamed in response. 

   Oliver flapped his wings as fast as he could, but it was too late. They failed to protect her and now all depend only on it.

  The apartment seemed to be the way he left, but when we arrived the room had to count to a thousand not to explode in anger. 

- But what happened here? White, what have you done? 

- I did nothing. If you could help I'd appreciate it. 

- There is nothing to help. Let's get through this alone. 

   Alice Oliver looked worried. He wanted to end her suffering, after all that had been promised but failed to deliver. Connor was indifferent as to what was going on, except for the irritation of seeing the floor of his room in the state it was. 

- I do not want her to suffer anymore. 

- It is not for us. 

   The angel was still trying to heal the pain of the girl, who was kneeling on the floor with his back bathed in blood. She was clinging to Oliver, hoping that the pain would disappear as quickly as it had appeared. Something inside her burned and tore his flesh with despair, as if trapped inside for centuries. With this, their backs were bathed in blood increasing. 

- Connor, this can not continue. 

- It is weak to have grown fond of you. Anyway, what she is going through will help her. 

   There was nothing to discuss. Connor always told the truth so sharp without giving chances that someone could challenge. However, he could not stand to see how the girl he wanted to protect was suffering so much. 

- When will it end? 

- I fear that soon. The only thing I want is the floor of my apartment clean. 

   Oliver pretended not to hear the end of his speech. What mattered was knowing what was happening. As her blouse was torn back and the bleeding had stopped, but he could see something emerging from cuts. 

- I told you this would end. Take it out. She needs to get some fresh air. 

- Fresh air? Connor, it's raining! 

- Is exactly what she needs. 

  

   It was laborious, but they managed to take Alice out of the apartment. The rain did not forgive and they were already soaking wet two minutes after they left. 

- Get away from her. 

- What are you thinking? 

- Only obey me. 

   He hesitated, but the expression of the devil said there was no time for debate. Oliver looked at her and realized that, in fact, could not question. Alice looked at them, feeling helpless, but neither of them moved to her. Your back again ache, but more than before. That thing was inside her began to leave and it made her back throb deeply. 

- I do not believe ... 

- What is the problem? 

- See for yourself.

☾ Ꮧct Ꮥeven

  Oliver felt the imprint of his hand unbearably warm. Yes, he knew what that meant, however, was not able to understand why. Connor said he should keep away from the mission from now, however, what might have happened to him to change his mind? 

   A few minutes later, the front door closes. The devil had come. 

- Hurry up. 

- What happened? 

- She wants to see you. 

   Angel jumped up from the couch. That was a joke? Because if it was, he would pay dearly. Anyway, he would have to believe in the devil. 

- Are you sure? So far she has always despised me. 

- I also found it strange, but it seems that the situation requires their presence. Just try not to mess up my apartment. 

   He was still not believing, however, Connor seemed to be fully serious about the matter. Oliver prepared wings, but was prevented. 

- If you want to die, go ahead. 

- Why can not I fly? 

- You go to a home for demons. 

   He had forgotten that detail. However, any sacrifice was worth it for her. Connor realized that would not help convince him to use the car and went upstairs without saying anything more. The heated angel wings and took the road to the apartment. 

   Oliver landed silently on the balcony from the living room. There was no noise, however, he could feel a strange energy, but familiar at the same time. He went to the bedroom, where he saw Alice lying in bed, asleep. Immediately, the boy felt the almost paternal affection that was stored inside all this time. 

- My little girl ... I missed you. 

   He ajelhou beside the bed and kissed her forehead. 

- Oliver. 

   The boy smiled. Even without knowing the reason of it all, he was happy to see that she was okay. 

- What happened? Connor said you wanted me to come. 

   Alice hugged him tightly and began to sob. Oliver returned kindly, but he could not hide his concern. Stroked her black hair and let her cry how it took until she was better. 

- It hurts, Oliver. 

- What hurts, my love? 

- My whole body. I'm not feeling well. Please make it stop. 

- Shh ... You'll get better, I promise. 

   The girl fell asleep in his arms again. What was going on? 

   The mark of Connor began to burn. The time had come. But why she needed Oliver beside her?

☾ Ꮧct Ꮥix

  There was not even a day that Alice was far and Oliver had become virtually invisible being inside the house. Connor felt immensely happy about it, while retaining the sober aspect and cold forever. The atmosphere was exactly like the devil wanted: calm and cool. That place, even if not his true home was more like Hell. However, the moans coming from the other were unbearable. Indeed he never cling to someone, especially if that someone were a human, because he knew that it would come with a much greater than the love that could be born suffering. 

- Do you think she will recover sooner than expected? 

- I suppose so, since she is away from you. 

- And leave her confined in a residential full of demons is a solution? 

- Yes, she will be alone and will have to think about it sooner or later. 

   The angel shrugged, keeping what he thought to himself. However, there was something he did not want to accept. 

- Connor, why I can not ... 

- You always ruin everything. If I let you go see it, all the work goes into the air. 

   Oliver hung his head. That he already knew, but Connor did not need to always repeat that. Angel missed her and the time they spent together when Alice was small. For a moment, the boy asked if that could be the cause of much bitterness of the devil. 

- Tell her I ... 

- Cut it out, ok? I'm going because it is my duty 

- Connor, let me go. 

- I already gave my answer. 

   Oliver decided not to argue over and climbed the stairs to his room. Connor closed the front door and went to the home. Increasingly he was dissatisfied, but had to do it if he wanted to get rid of it all as soon as possible. 

   The apartment remained as he had left there years and years ago, but no sign of Alice anywhere until you see her sitting on the bed staring at nothing, so she did not see his arrival, which was not something normal. The boy shook his hand in front of her face carefully. 

- Go away. I do not want you here. 

- Already hallucinating in a week? 

- I'm serious, Connor. I want to see Oliver. 

   The demon raised an eyebrow. What was the matter with her? During this time Oliver has always received scorn and now that they are separated she wants to see it? Anyway, would not give in to her request. Everything would start working properly and that angel would not involve at all. 

- That idiot will ruin everything. I will not allow it to delay my return home. 

   He knew there was something different about her. Connor moved a little closer and saw that all that remained of the past within it had completely disappeared and her soul was beginning to turn. 

- Where is Oliver? 

- You where always. 

- I want to see it. 

- I think in your case. See you next week. 

- Connor, I will not wait till next week! I need to see Oliver! 

- Why now? 

- I do not know ... I just want to see it. 

    The demon was not confident about it. However, with no residue of the past within it, one could say that there would be more danger. Once this happening, she forget the past and would not hold a grudge over any of them, although everything is stored in the depths of her mind. 

   When he looked back at Alice again, he saw that the girl had her eyes closed, in a state that could be classified as a state of unconsciousness. Connor knew what would acontecenr therefore had to yield to the request of a human for the first and last time.

☾ Ꮧct ℱive

  Impatience Connor was transparent, but Oliver did not want to accept. He clearly knew he was wrong, however, the demon could have given a second chance. 
- We're leaving soon. 
   Alice was almost being crushed by the embrace of the angel, who resisted the idea of ​​letting her go alone with the demon. He already knew what would happen next, but still think she would come under his wings was unbearable, even though she hated him. Oliver kissed her forehead for the thousandth time. 
- If you need anything, you know how to call me. 
   She did not respond as expected. Remained cold and distant, but it was not enough to convince the angel to let her go. Connor not take it anymore and the whole scene suddenly dropped the arms of the blond boy girl, who followed him without looking back and not even say a single word. The door black car demon closed, preventing the angel could continue watching her. Connor accelerated abruptly, looking away from Alice there sooner. 

    Not a bad place after all. It was an apartment that was on the twelfth floor of a luxury home in the most exclusive area of ​​the city. However, it lived only a few vampires and demons here and there. Being accustomed to the style of Connor, it would not be a problem for her, that would always be in the apartment. 
   While starters carried the bags to the room of the girl, the devil finished hit the final details. 
- We will take very good care of her. - The receptionist, a demon of course, responded by giving a half smile for Connor. 
- That's what I hope. - The boy answered dryly, picking up the keys on the counter and handing Alice - I come see you once a week. 
   She nodded and looked at the apartment number where you would live. No one waited indications, since nothing was printed in keychain itself. 

   It was a nice place to be inhabited by non-human creatures. It was arranged in their proper places, so she did not have to do absolutely nothing. The clothes were in place, the shoes, blankets ... Anyway, absolutely everything was neat the way she imagined. Anyway, she did not feel so free because I knew that apartment belonged to Connor, and even if he did not stay there, everything should be exactly the same. 
   In a way, that apartment did not seem to belong to the devil she knew. Alice expected something more ... dark. Even though the furniture was black, like the curtains and the entire floor, she saw that there were some things and details that were white. Anyway, she should respect the only order that Connor had given him, after all, do not know how long he would stay there. 
   But at the same time she missed Oliver. Until now, the girl had never realize how much she was wedded to him. Even with what happened, Alice missed the tender and heated atmosphere that always made ​​her better, even unintentionally.

☾ Ꮧct ℱour

  Oliver felt irritation in energy involving Connor and it was taking over the room, smashing the serene atmosphere of angel with ease. 

- What is it? 

- You are useless! How not realized she STILL has a part of her past! 

   The angel's eyes widened, leaving the demon even more enraged. Besides jerk, he tried to make paper innocent, as his kind required, he thought, biting his tongue and clenching his fists to hit Oliver. 

- What? How? 

- Do not look at me like that imbecile! You do not really use for anything! 

- No need for that. Learn to control yourself. 

   Connor stared at the angel and his feline eyes became dark gray cholera. He was getting annoyed every second by the impotence of that being, that could even be considered an angel. Oliver winced a little, knowing that it did not represent good thing, especially when the devil was coming towards him. 

- I'm tired of you! I swear if this happens again, I'll kill him! 

   Oliver was the mark of Connor's hand on the left side of his face. It was the first time that the demon assaulted. Apparently he was really tired of it. 

- It's your fault! I said this would not end well. Every time she look at her face that she remembers the past and this prevents it from moving forward. 

   The angel was crestfallen for a while. 

- Yes, it's exactly what you're thinking. 

- No it is not. She'll get over it, I'll help you. 

   Connor raised an eyebrow. Her tone was now quite rough and skeptical. 

- Help? His way of helping is just delaying things. I suggest you keep quiet and become invisible. 

   Oliver passed by the devil towards Alice's room, however, Connor would never let that statistics were kept even worse. He knew the end of a conversation I had with the angel girl and it never brought satisfactory results. He spread his wings and blocked his path in the middle of the staircase. 

- I have to talk to her. 

- No. 

   Only one word was enough to draw attention of angel. What was he doing? All that said Connor was right until now. What Alice was trying to do was right. As he put it all away. Yes, he always did. Lost her confidence and was now ruining plans. The demon was right in not wanting to work with him. 

- I'm sorry. Now I understand. 

- What I have in mind will be better for both of us. 

- Can I at least ... 

- Better not. The process has been delayed long enough. 'll All change tomorrow. 

   Oliver went downstairs, preventing the other saw his green eyes filled with tears again. It was painful, yes, but for the sake of it was better to stay that way. He heard the footsteps of Connor the hall, taking the library path. The angel looked at the door of the young Alice's room and felt his chest get tight and lacking air in your lungs. If the devil knew how much he was suffering ... But it was not fair to involve anyone else about it. The feelings were his and he should bear the pain. 

   He climbed the stairs sileniciosamente and opened the door of her room. Alice was asleep on the desk, writing something in her diary. 

- You will not enter this room. 

- Connor, she will not even see me. Moreover, this will be my last contact with her. 

   Connor sighed. Besides stupid was deaf, he thought, and left the hall to do something better. Oliver knew what that meant. 

   It seemed that little girl before, but she hated him. He tried not to think about it, but it was impossible. The innocent and that little image was blinding him. Oliver did not want to undo that memory, but her movements on his lap made ​​it back to the real world. 

- Oliver ... 

   Alice was nested in it, as he always did as a child. She still felt his presence and, as usual, did not try to keep him away. However, things have changed and it would not stay up all night with her. 

- Good evening, Ali 

   A kiss goodnight and goodbye was the last thing he could do for her.

☾ Ꮧct Ꮦhree

  Connor felt the atmosphere of your home will renew their strength. After all, staying in the human world for seventeen years bothered any demon. The cells of his body slowly absorbed every bit of the Hell. However, his mission was not yet over. The black wings beat slowly until you reach the abode of the emperor who could clarify the doubts he had about that mission.
- I was waiting for you.
- As expected, the Lord knows everything.
- You have not finished your work, is not it?
- No. And that's why I'm here.
  Satan hoped Connor proceed.
- Why do I have to work with that angel? Why can not handle it all by yourself? Oliver does nothing but cry for the past.
- I know it's difficult. However, it's who can interpret the signs of Raziel.
- With so many others, why him?
  Satan sighed.
- That I can not answer, after all it was not me who chose that angel.
- Well, then I'll have to go through this torment.
- It will not last longer.
  Connor bowed before leaving, still unsatisfied. He should not go through it, because it was more powerful than Oliver being. The devil does not regretted, was not guilty of what happened. He always moved on. If Alice does not want to talk to him, it was not a problem. Rather, it was a gift.

- What do you want?
- Why did it take so long?
- I should not satisfactions of my life to you. Will say what you want or not?
  Oliver swallowed what he would say next, preferring not get more confusion.
- Alice is taking the path. Her aura is crimson.
- It's about time.
  The angel looked at him, surprised. In a way, the fact that Connor did not like it was easy to learn, but Oliver had no idea how much until you hear the relief in his voice.
- Have you even looked at the depths of her soul?
- Yes
  Reaction by another, Connor knew that the situation was more favorable for him. It made him proud in a way, since his influence on her was greater. Not waited for the angel to come and knocked on her door, impatiently.
- What is it?
  The demon looked into her eyes and saw the crimson light burning with intensity in her soul. However, the feline eyes Connor could see even a brief remnant of the past within it. Alice stood, not knowing what was happening, was startling when viewed down the stairs without any explanation.

☾ Ꮧct Ꮦwo

- That does not concern you, do not ask you to come here.

  Connor came down the stairs like lightning and grabbed Oliver's throat.

- Yes, it concerns me. If there are any changes in her soul, I also lose it. So I better be careful with your jealousy.

  The angel knelt on the floor, almost suffocated. The demon looked at him with disgust and contempt before leaving out the door. Why he was asked to work with a weak enemy, and sentiment was a question worth thinking about and why he did not want to stay in that house.

- You can not leave.

- Take care of your own life.

  The front door closed quietly behind Connor, who cared little for the heavy rain that was falling. At least he could free the black wings and exercise them a bit, since humans do not usually walk in the rain. He was not of those who questioned orders, but he could not work alone?

- Oliver, are you ... Okay?

- And now you care about me?

- Connor could have killed you.

- But he did not, thankfully.

  Alice stood before him without reaction. Oliver was catching his breath slowly, but he was already standing. The girl turned away to leave, but the angel hugged her with hurt feelings. She remained indifferent, waiting for him to let go.

- Why do you do this? What Connor did to you?

- He has not done anything, you are obsessed with putting the blame of their actions on others.

- Alice ... Are you defending him?

- I'm not defending anyone.

   He held her face in disbelief.

- Ali .. Why?

  She looked at him wistfully. Even though he still had some affection for him, everything had changed. The relationship they had was just a simple reminder. He also felt, but could not believe what was happening. The angel looked deep in his eyes and the girl finally released her, defeated.

- Have you finished?

  She did not wait for an answer. Just kept walking until she disappeared in the hallway upstairs. Behind her, Oliver could see the crimson trail it leaves. Her soul was taking a course, but that was not favorable to him. However, he remembered the warning of Connor. Even if he did not, had a duty to warn what was happening to her. Came out through the rain, searching for the demon. However, finding it was never easy. In addition to fast, he was always discreet and never failed traces. He spread his wings and flew away, but could not find.

  

  The pentagram that bound them burned on the pulse of Connor, but he would not return to hear lamentations. Had other things in mind and now was well away from the human world. Oliver had to wait. What was related to that girl was not paramount to him at the moment. On second thought, never would be paramount.

  They returned some time later exactly when it started raining. They did not get any satisfactory result with the search they have done. Oliver stopped and stared at a single window whose curtains were drawn and began to reflect on his actions. His green eyes watered for a second, but he recovered when he saw Connor closing the door in his face.

- If you keep this up, I will lock you out.

- You do not get tired of so much bitterness?

  He looked at the angel with silver feline eyes narrowed. What he did or did not do was not a problem for anyone and only concerned him. Therefore, an ordinary angel should not meddle in his life. The other raised his hands as if surrendering.

- Okay, okay.

  Connor went to the library on the second floor, which always used to be to stay away from them. He crossed with the girl in the hallway, but his gaze on her lasted no more than a second miserable. When he walked down the hall, the atmosphere was cold and heavy, forcing her to go to another place that was out of reach from the icy power of the devil.

  As she descended the stairs, the atmosphere changed gradually. The air was getting warmer and pleasant as she got to the living room where Oliver was reading a book.

- Something wrong?

- No.

  He knew that. Even though she had a deep hatred of him, the boy knew Alice was around to warm your soul after Connor pass on the corridor. Even the devil would not bother them, the coldness and darkness that came from him was contagious.

- Are you still angry?

  She did not answer. He was used to it, however it was becoming unbearable. Yes, he had no right to do what he did, but there was no other way. Think years ago they were like brothers increased his guilt, however, could never redo everything that happened. Set the book aside and tried to approach.

- I do not want you near me!

- And yet you come here to warm up with my energy. Why you can not forget it?

- Why did you lie to me and killed my family! - She replied, with tears in his eyes and rushing to leave.

- You will not do it again. I'm tired of suffering that every time I talk to you. Alice, no one can continue. Bitterness and hatred do anyone any good.

- Connor survives as well, so I can do the same.

  He sighed.

- Connor, Connor, Connor! He cares for you! He's only here because it fulfills his job! Alice, I care about you, I love you as I always have those years! - Oliver dropped his voice, bitter - I didn't it because I wanted to, I was forced.

- What's going on?

  Alice went back to the room and Connor, who had left the library after hearing the discussion. The girl closed the door and turned the demon feline look for Angel.

- Listen, avoid conflicts is your work, not mine. Also, what do you think will win it? If she will not talk to any of us, leave it as is.

  The tone of his voice caused a shiver to the angel's spine. Connor did not used to lecturing, but when did it was threatening.

☾ ℬring my Ꮥilence

  I can hear the wind rustling the leaves on the outside of my window. Going to rain any second.

  I closed the curtains. There was nothing in this world that I wanted to see. What I really wanted was to go home, which is all I have left, including a part of myself. The house where I lived was empty now, but soon they would reach again and I would lose the magnificent sound of silence that hung in the air. I had no right to wander around the house in their absence, but that mattered little to me. One way or another, they told me clearly that I would die soon.

  Qualqer the way, I will not remain immersed in these thoughts of melancholy that I am now. I was not so only after they brought me here is that I ended up becoming so. Cold, isolated and indifferent. I have no contact with the outside world for nine years. I was taken from my family when I was eight years old. I trusted him blindly and then I was deceived, deluded.

  My name is Alice Blade and today I'm seventeen years old. When I was little, my parents and I lived in a quiet town in Wales. However, a family friend, Oliver White, who was sixteen at the time, managed to captivate me slowly with games, gifts and all kinds of goodies that a child wants to receive. The considered like a brother and I developed a great brotherly love for him.

  However, on my eighth birthday, he promised me a special tour like this. I ran out the door without even looking back and waited for Oliver, who did not appear. I went to look for him and saw my dead parents. Oliver had wings on his back and were cream color, but he was not alone in the room.

  Connor Declan. He was there too. A demon of cold eyes and sharp as a blade and could easily be mistaken for a shadow. It is quiet and fast, which makes it dangerous. I never had a conversation that lasted more than five seconds with him until then. I feel he does not like me one bit, because it avoids being in the same room as me. That does not matter, because we have a peace agreement. I did not bother and it does not do me any harm.

  However, Oliver tried to redeem the betrayal he had done, but I did not want to talk with him. Once a traitor, always a traitor.

  And since that day, they are my "family". Connor was sort of an uncle, while Oliver tries to fulfill the role of father. Both he and I know very well that this is a scam and always will. I will never forgive nor forgive myself for being so naive. So I become what I am today; I may have received some influence from Connor, however, I modeled it my way.

  The American colonel turned to our colonel, with his gun ready in hand. He seemed upset after Williams runs so cold that way. I noticed the restless movements of my brother, and like others, I prepared to shoot guns.

- Listen, Peter. Let your soldiers out of them, as I will leave my.

- We are in a war, Collins will not let my soldiers resting.

  The enemy soldiers lowered their weapons and began to dissipate quietly, except for the captain, who stood in the same place. Since this was not normal, we remain silently static.

- Are the principles of the New War. - My brother whispered - Come on.

- What do you mean?

- Commanders decide the victory of the country. We took the field only if both die.

- Are dismissed soldiers. The Nation thanks.

  The helicopters were in the sky, with stairs ready so we can go home. I looked at the colonel and he nodded confidently. Johnatan not wait for me and when I looked forward again he was almost inside the helicopter. I quickened my step and felt someone pushing me.

- Come on! Come on! Did you want to stay here?

  Samantha was happy to have survived the first time participated as a soldier in a war like that. I looked in her arms and saw the dog happy and radiant.

- Congratulations. You worked well.

- I can not say the same for you. - She replied, smiling - you always distracted. However, you are a good shooter.

  We were the last to rise, but at least we were saved and ready for next time. My brother was sleeping in a sleeping bag while Samantha and I were each looking out the window the battlefield, and if they dwindled away from us.

  We had arrived at the military headquarters when a messenger appears, euphoric. Johnatan was close enough to hear what they said and motioned for us to be quiet. He was fully focused and he did not seem any reaction, until I saw a frown forming. I did not know how to interpret it to my brother to turn around and look beyond where we were.

- And here I thought I would get rid of you, old man.

- From me you will not get rid of so easily.

  The colonel was back, visibly tired and scratchy. A shot had hit his leg, but was already bandaged. Another wore military clothes, but was clean. How long should he be back? Well, that meant that the UK had been the victor of all this war. Three months of bloodshed for nothing, just for domination.

- Prepare your belongings, if you have some, it will return home.

  None of us had anything to take home, so do not linger to divide in each group for a car. Not many were in the car that would go where my house was. Leon was no longer there, so there were only Johnatan, Samantha and me. There was silence until we arrived in our city, where the remaining villagers were out of their homes and shelters, admrando our return.

  The car stopped and I saw my mom talking to a military agent distractedly, so that not even realize our approach. Johnatan picked her up and spun around, leaving the surprise. When he put it back on the ground, my mother hugged us and did not hide her tears of happiness to see us live and at home again. Samantha was talking with the agent, who handed him an envelope. She nodded and ran home.

- Should I give my congratulations, it's not often that two brothers can return home safe and sound. You are true wonders in full battlefield.

  Thanks with a silent nod of his head and he continued, poking the inside pocket of his coat he was wearing. A few minutes later he had two envelopes equal to that Samantha had received before. There was nothing written on them, unless the seal of the army and the government. Johnatan and I looked at each other, confused.

- The Armed Forces is proud to invite them to join the army, but in the training of new recruits. Your skills will be useful for our young soldiers have a brilliant performance.

  Looked at each other, unsure whether to accept.

- I'll be honest with you; We're not waiting for an answer, but the goodbyes. Let's go back to the capital, where will all of you permanent residence.

  My mother nodded happily. She had already packed up all bags, including ours even before we got home. You could see the joy on her face by moving to another place. Since this was not an invitation, but a concise and direct, calling into the car seconds later. Samantha was entering the other, which was across the street and waved. She was also convened to train recruits.

  People who were in the street cheering us gladly, even with the noise of construction machinery that was redoing houses could capture the enthusiasm of all. I never thought my life would end so after a war. But all this I owe thanks to my brother. Without him, nothing would have happened.

☣13. ｔｈｅ ｌａｓｔ ｓｈｏｏｔ

  I felt something poking my leg and looked down. The dog came bringing a note wrapped around the mouth, which had molhaddo almost any paper. Thank you for wearing gloves. 

"We need help. The enemy is well armed and even with help're in a bad situation. Need you and that strange soldier. The media is filming everything and do not want to give the taste of defeat. Will be of great help if you can come . "

- Come on. 

- What? 

- They need our help, right? Williams can expect. Let's not let the UK lose this war. 

- What do you mean? 

- There remained only two powers in this war: the United Kingdom and North American Union. 

   Yes, indeed it was fair. After all, the North American Union was consolidating the union of all countries formerly located in North America. However, now they were only one. And the same applied to the UK, it was the union between Wales, England and Scotland. I do not know if Ireland was participating in it, so I can not place it. If so surely we should hurry. 

   We hear no more sign of Williams since. Perhaps he had finally died from blood loss or else were in another direction. The dog was still there, looking at us appealingly and ready to start a race back to the battle zone way. Johnatan was running in front of me without the mask. 

- Hey! You will not put the mask? 

- It does not matter, at least our mother will see that we're both alive, at least for now. 

   The place was twice the destruction. The debris had turned into dust on the floor, mixed with the blood of the wounded and dead soldiers ambs sides. However, our army was clearly impaired, even allies, who were equally well armed, were decimated in large quantities. It was after a while I realized that all the other soldiers of our army were there. Even the Colonel was active. 

- Prepared for all or nothing? 

- I'm here for that, is not it? 

   We were loaded and ready to shoot guns, however, all the soldiers paralyzed when my brother and I entered the battlefield. The cameras that were around focused on my brother and then me. 

- Johnatan? 

- That's it. Did you miss me? 

   The Colonel was speechless, looking from me to him all the time. 

- Well - he started rough - let's get this over with. 

   A shot went and hit one of the enemy soldiers. Seconds later, something hits one of our army, but the gun did not come none of us was there. 

- You two will not escape me! 

   Williams was already covered with blood leg and, ironically, it belonged to the North American Union. Tensions rose on the battlefield, but the American soldiers did not provide aid for Williams in no time. 

- I'm still the master of you! Help me now! 

   None of them moved, only a few were in towards the soldier who was wounded to help you. He was getting impatient and angry. 

- What are you waiting for? I gave you an order! 

   One, it should be the new commander, stepped forward. No, he was not the commander; should be the Colonel, for she was a little gray hair. He approached Williams.

- You is not nothing, Seth Williams. Along with this war, you are already in history. 

- Do not you dare say that to me, you fucking old, I'm still the law in this army! 

   The North American colonel shot without mercy against the head of Williams, who was paralyzed for a moment and then fell dead in their own blood. Apparently, he should have been some sort of traitor or master drawing, since no member of enemy army was pleased when she saw him.

  Johnatan being dragged me away from Williams. Even though he was with the injured leg, we did not know if he could come after us or not. I did not know that area, but my brother seemed to know exactly where to be going.

  That place looked a little more full than others, since there were still buildings in perfect condition, as well as some homes. I imagine that the enemies were not interested in this area of ​​the city and began to invade it. Johnatan was looking for something but I do not know what it was until I saw him taking a box of a hole in the ground with various ammunition and first aid for objects that should be in the hands of military doctors. He took the hand of ammunition, which made me feel pain in his shoes and used a bit of gauze with saline to clean the wound.

- You will need also.

  He threw the box so I could leave my fully loaded gun to confront Williams, who certainly would not give up killing us. I returned the box to him and received a bottle of water that was full.

- Hey, John.

- What is it?

- Are you angry?

- No. You ended up saving me another shot.

  Johnatan I knew enough to tell he was angry. Amazingly, when he only looks good deeds does not mean something good. Rather he was pointing out everything I did wrong.

- Come on, O.K.?

- I said I'm not angry.

  I decided not to respond, because things would only get worse. It would not stay that way forever, I was sure of it, so I thought best to leave it with him a grudge.

  I took a sip of water, but when I thought I'd sit down for a bit I heard a shot. Did not belong to a weapon of our army. And the only person who was not of our army I knew was Williams.

- We're outta here. Williams can reach in less than minutes.

  We went out of there as fast as we could, always running silently through the rubble. I saw the shadow of Williams not far from us. He was limping, leaving a thick trail of blood behind him. Maybe he would not last more than a few minutes, however, none of us was an expert to know.

- Here.

  We began to crawl across the floor carefully, but soon the sound of another invasion began. Came from the area where I was, what was not so far. I knew that my duty was to be there, but now they were allies and not need me. However, there was something that was bothering me a lot since when I heard the roar of a fighter jet across the sky, which was gray, indicating that it would rain.

☣11. ＢＵＲＩＥＤ ＰＡＳＴ

  I approached over where they were, but not let them see me. Samantha was also muted, perhaps because she finally understood my message. I approached over where they were sneaking through buildings that had not been completely destroyed during the war.

  I saw them with bloodstained clothes, but were still able to fight. Johnatan was without the mask, as well as Williams, whose eyes were flashing with hate in its purest form.

- Do you think you'll stick with that smirk on his face for how long? I'll kill you before you can think about trade places with anyone again!

- Dogs that bark do not bite, Williams. You were not even able to kill even more than one of my army recruits. Besides, you know very well that I did not do it with intention.

  Williams did not respond, but fired several times, and one of the shots hit the left forearm of my brother, who made no sound of pain or suffering. Anyway, I wanted to shoot that bastard, but there was one thing I really wanted to know. What Johnatan had done unintentionally? And what did that have to do with Williams?

- Finished her tantrums? - My brother finally spoke.

- I will make you pay dearly for what he did.

- Why do not you cared for her? You knew it could happen. Moreover, it was her fault and mostly their for letting her do that.

  Williams saw his hand tremble for a moment, but was not sure what. From what little I suffered with him, that soldier has no guy who is unshaken by anything. Wonder what happened. Johnatan made it clear that what happened was an accident that clearly could be avoided if Williams was more cautious.

  My brother rummaged in his coat pockets and threw something to the enemy.

- I found it. I think it belongs to you.

- Do you really think that will get rid of that?

  I saw a small gold ring in the hands of Williams, who was struggling to contain a tear, but still escaped her eyes. Squinted to see better, because I thought I would never see tears of soldiers in a war. He raised his right sleeve, showing the name Katherina who was tattooed.

- Look, Evans! You think you can even forget that? Even if you have done by accident, I will not forgive you, because you could have stopped!

- Keep bringing the past to light will not do good to anyone.

  Williams tricou jaw and returned to shoot vigorously against Johantan, now fight back. A shot passed me and almost hit my chin. Even so, I could understand what was happening there. Katherina should be the wife of Williams must have been shot from my brother when she tried to somehow protect her husband. Yes, I was sure this was it that had happened. Anyway, will not help them stay arguing for a person who is already dead.

  I heard the growl of my brother seconds after a shot and saw that his left hand was covered in blood because of the shooting. I decided then it was time for me to start doing something. I took my gun and shot precisely in his right shoulder.

- What does that mean?

  Johnatan was furious with me, but now I had already made my contribution.

- Luka Evans, I ordered you to stay out of it!

- Did the person who is with the hand covered in blood. - I replied.

  Williams was alternating glances between me and my brother.

- So you are brothers, right? It really is a great pleasure to have both in the same place, so I can avoid efforts.

  Johnatan took another shot, this time in his right leg and started running, pulling me away while the other was kneeling on the floor with his leg bleeding.

☣10. ｓｌｅｅｐｌｅｓｓ

  Today was the day that Johnatan would finally resolve the conflict he had with Williams. Wanted very much to have gone along to help you, but I could not. Had clear orders to stay here coming from two sources that I could never disrespect: one was the colonel, the other was my brother.

  With the help of the asian soldiers, the attacks that emerged ended quickly because we were now in greater numbers and could rest more during the night, since there were more people who take turns every night. They showed great people and trustworthy, so that none of us doubted most of them. We were almost becoming a family, but it would be an exaggeration on my part to say that.

  It was my turn of guard overnight in the group where I was. Took turns to two, so that Samantha made the rounds with me. I was thinking of going after Johnatan to know if everything was going well, because until then I had not heard from him, but with her getting custody along with me it would not be easy. Would have to account for what was happening and that was something I did not want in any way. Johnatan promised I would never say that to someone until the war was over.

- What are you thinking?

- Nothing.

- You are too far from Earth.

- It's okay.

- Do you trust me?

  The question caught me off guard.

- If we're working together I have to trust you. Why?

- Because I know you're hiding something from that day's letter and is avoiding everyone. When you showed the other day and said it was recognizing the territory I knew you were lying.

- Let nonsense.

- I'm serious. I saw you follow the dog hurriedly.

  I did not answer. I wanted at least once she stopped worrying about what is happening to me. Her gaze was heavy upon me uncomfortably so.

- You really will not tell me, do you?

- And why should I?

  She did not answer. Maybe I'd hurt but had to think about myself first. I would rather say that than be forced to tell another lie.

- I'm going.

- How so? You can not leave in the middle of the guard! Evans, come back!

  I heard her footsteps hurrying behind me, so I started to hurry. I ran the best I could for her to lose sight of me. However, what I got was a shot that almost hit my arm.

- What is your problem?

- You will not do everything yourself! Moreover, we are a team and we have to work together!

- This has nothing to do with the war nor with anyone. It has to do with my family and no one else. Now do not get yourself into my life and take care of herself.

  She looked down, but I had no time to stand there waiting for her reaction. I kept running towards what I remember to be written on the ticket.

- Evans! Evans!

  I was away from her and could hear the sounds of gunfire few meters ahead. I knew that voice and knew perfectly well that Williams should be angry. That meant Johnatan was alive, thankfully.

☣09. нєℓρ

- Anyway, you will not solve it alone. - I snapped, decided.
- Do not start with your ideas. I will resolve it for myself.
  I perfectly knew the frown Johnatan to know that I should not cross him. Even after these months, it has not changed anything. I wish the day would come soon correspondence, so my mother could leave a little happier. However, he cut the thread of my thoughts as if I could know what I was thinking.
- You will not tell this to our mother. You will not tell it to anyone.
- But ...
- Do not want to hear! I'll take care of it alone. Now go back to camp. Any news, I'll send for that dog. - He patted my head - Take care.
- You too.
  He nodded and gave a half smile before heading east to find Williams. I admit that I felt upset, not wanting to let him go alone. But it was not for rookies, that's what he told me, so I trust him.
  
  I came back like a rocket once I saw the first stirrings of my fellow troops. The dog barked and drew the attention of Samantha, who came toward me.
- What were you doing?
- I was recognizing terrain. We have not been there.
- And econtrou something?
- Nothing but destroyed buildings.
  The Mutt stared at me look silly, as if he was innocent and I had gone there willingly. However, that dog was not so important. What I still did not believe it was Johnatan was still alive. Remembered the sealed coffin and felt sorry soldier who swapped places with my brother. His family will have a big disappointment when you know he was decapitated. Well, sometimes it is better that they are unaware.
  A plane of our army cut the sky with a smoke in red. That meant danger and new enemies were approaching our area. Masks and guns at the ready. We were outnumbered this time.
  A grenade started a new war. The soldiers were coming at full speed, but they were not the ones that were being led by Williams. These were dressed in dark blue clothes and belonged to a country in East Asia, but did not appear to have intentions to use the weapons against us.
- What are they up to? - Samantha murmured.
- Do not think they want to attack.
- So why would they use a grenade?
- I have no idea.
  The soldier who was taking the front line stopped and saluted. Those behind him did the same. Anyway, we did not know what kind of tricks they might be using, so the most we did was take the masks, but with guns always prepared to shoot.
- Might save the weapons, we are allies.
- Allies? Do not ask for help.
- But we have this.
  The captain of another army showed a piece of paper with a calligraphy that I knew very well. Johantan was armed and that the expression of the captain I was sure he must be some known war.
  Samantha walked over and read the letter, having the seal of our country and the signature of our Colonel and our ruler. With that, she did not have to complain about and returned the letter, saying nothing. Just made a nod and turned back to the others, who seemed more quiet and tense at the same time. The fact of receiving help was good, but what if they ended attacking?

☣08. ＳＡＦＥ

  An ambulance showed up some time later to take the body of Leon. I admit it was a great loss, for he was fast and threw well. However, it will not do any good crying over spilled milk. Had to work in seven, which meant an extra effort to stem attacks of enemies.

- I still do not believe what I saw.

- It happens, do not be so surprised. The numbers are against us.

- Yes, I know. But I did not expect this on the start.

- Take care not to do the same.

  She punched me in the arm. At least we could relieve some of the tension, but others seemed shaken somehow and seemed to fear to lose control too.

  The day was ending and nothing even of enemies. I had one more day before facing Williams closely and show that I'm not who he thinks. I will avenge my brother, above all, after all would not be punished for it, since we were at war and he was an enemy.

  It must have been early, but I was still wide awake. A pool of blood Leon was still there, but aquiilo little care. My intention was to get out of here as fast as possible.

  Something was pulling my pants and I saw it was the dog. So I got up, he barked and headed east. I was looking to where he would but he stopped and barked louder, expecting me to follow. By not want to draw anyone's attention, quickly joined the mutt - that ran more than I, despite being gaining weight - and ran to join him.

  Walked on average fifty feet in that same direction. Where that dog wanted to take me? Not have to wait long for an answer, because I saw a shadow standing waiting for our arrival. It was that strange soldier, who gave a piece of meat for the dog at work take me there. The beast came out happy and wagging his tail.

- Still have the ticket that Williams sent you?

  I handed the note to him.

- Do not go to him tomorrow. I will.

- No. He made it clear that the problem is with my brother and I will resolve it.

- Your life is precious to be wasted on him. I have no one waiting for my return, so if something happens to me will blank.

  I stared at him, trying to see what was behind the mask. However, his eyes were well hidden so I could see the significance of what he was saying.

- Williams will know that you are someone else, it will only complicate things further.

- Would you trust me? - Realized the angry tone in his voice - His mother does not deserve the heartbreak of thinking that has lost another son! Her illness is painful enough to carry her burden! If you have the least love it, leave it on my own.

  My eyes widened at the same time. How did he know my mother had a disease? No one knew this, unless it was a very close friend of my family that I'm not recognizing. However, I find this hypothesis unlikely.

- How do you know?

- I know his family for several years.

- My mother never mentioned you. And the years preceding the war, I never saw you. You are lying.

- What if I am?

- I want the truth.

  He was determined not to yield. I realized this when he put the note written by Williams in his pocket. From the moment he appeared I realized there was something strange. If he said he had no one to wait for his return after the war, then how could he have known my family? Discaradamente he was lying, I knew that. But why? I am no longer a child not to know the truth. We are in the middle of a war! Any information will not be nothing less than a measly information! We're all nervous wreck in full beginning, so nothing would cause shock. Honestly, I was tired of arguing with someone who only know how to lie.

- Luka Evans, do not you dare turn your back on me. I have not finished talking.

  The shock paralyzed my body. Long ago I had not heard that, and only two people that spoke to me: one of them was my father, the other was my brother. I turned slowly to face him and he was taking off his mask and helmet. I saw the first hairs revealing their colors. Were red, like mine. Yes, I already knew who it was, just needed to confirm looking him in the eyes.

  The mask was in his hands and opaque brown eyes stared at me Johnatan when he shrugged. Temi on approaching me, and for a moment I thought I was going crazy. I grabbed the gun and touched him on the shoulder, then his arm, and finally the forehead. As he was alive?

- Are you surprised?

- I really need to answer?

  He laughed as usual, but again became bleak.

- Now understood my actions? Williams was planning this for days and knowing this, a colleague and I exchanged places. Erick was losing my mind and so we changed position and clothing. When the soldiers of Williams attacked us, took Erick thinking it was me. They decaptaram without even taking the mask off for a conference.

- And what happened to the other?

- He died during the war with one shot. Almost everyone who came to me died. That left just me and Williams in this war. Others, like you, are merely recruits.
