Call of Duty Black Ops - Ember
Chapter 11: Misunderstanding
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe next day. I woke up. I robbed my eyes and note where I was. I was still in Akira´s house. As I wanted to stand up, I noted something next to me, something soft. I turned my head and I saw Akira smiling with her wide beautiful blue eyes. What the hell happened? OK I remember she was shocked about what she had seen and after that I carried her up to her bedroom and waited until she felt asleep. I must felt asleep too.
"Good morning, little soldier." she said and smiling.
"Ehm ... yes ... good morning Akira." God Jesus Christ that was very uncomfortable with me. I mean if I tell Woods that I slept with a pony he will thinks that I got brainwashed again.
"Thanks again, that you slept with me."
"Ehm ... I slept with you in one bed yes but we didn't sleep like ... you know ... nah ... we didn't, did we?"
She only giggled. "Of course, no. Calm down. But it was good."
"What was good?"
"That you stayed. That you haven't leave me alone."
"I guess the only one who really needed some...eh ... somepony was me."
"True again, let´s say we needed us each other."
"NO, Akira, you don't know how much you helped me. I know now what will happen to Equestria and to my world. Without you I ... I don't know what I should to right now. Thank you so much again." I said and gave her an huge. I saw how she blushed. I don't know if it was uncomfortable for her or not. But never mind how nice that moment was, there came the bad memories again. The drone strike. The whole military as I know it ... gone ... replaced by drones, whole unarmed armies. I heard about this suggestion, it should avoid useless deaths but now I know it will bring more death as everything else. But I still didn't now what will happen to Equestria.
"Hey, Alex, thank you. I am glad that ... I could help you."
"NO, you don't understand, without you ... you reached something that not even the princess reached. You solved it! You have no idea how much you helped me."
Akiras face seemed to explode: "Ah ... ok ... I ... I only looked inside your memories, but it was a mess ... and ..."
"But how did you do that, how have you broke this "Barrier" not even Celestia could do it."
"The numbers are like an ... algorithms ... but I have to say ... I controlled you that moment ... so without that I couldn't break this wall. Hope you forgive me."
"Of course you know without you ..."
"Yes, yes, never mind, it was my pleasure to help you. So what is your next step?"
"Going to Night Light, telling him what I found out."
"So you gonna to leave me now?"
"You can come with me if you want."
"R ... really ... you allow me to come with you? But I wont to interrupt you with ... anything else."
"Nah, come on you helped me, so if you want you can come with me."
"OH CELESTIA YES ... I mean ... thank you ... wait I search something to dress."
"Hey, we are soldiers, no one interest how you look like."
"Really but ... I look like..."
"Nah, you looks great, you had to seen Woods after Vietnam, he looked like shit."
"OK... you are a funny guy. I like that." she said still blushed.
"Is everything fine? You are red all the time. Do you have fever? A cold?"
"No no, I am ok? God ... I am red? No ... I am ok. Happens sometimes."
"OK never mind. I am waiting outside."
Later: We finally reached Night Lights and Velvets house. I heard that they had an argument. I don't know what it was about but maybe I should knocked on the door. It don't need much time and Night Light opened the door.
"Oh ... you? I thought you killing yourself."
"No, I am still alive."
"Come inside." he said but not very friendly. Velvet was in the living room with tears in her eyes.
"What is going on? Did I miss something?"
"Yes, you did, come on Night Light tell him what you wanted to do! TELL HIM!"
"NO I WONT! Because ... SINCE YOU ARE HERE I HAVE ONLY PROBLEMS WITH MY MAREFRIEND! YOU ARE DESTROYING MY REALITIONSHIP!"
"What? I destroy your relationship? OK tell me why?"
"Since you are here ... everything goes from bad to worse! You made only problems, you are a psychopath, how you killed these ponies ... you are SICK!"
"I AM SICK? I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU AND THIS IS YOUR THANK YOU?"
"Better you leave Equestria!"
"Is that your plan Night Light? He needs our help!" said Velvet.
"But he ... he ... god dammit."
"YOU NEED ME AND I NEED YOU! WE NEED US EACH OTHER!"
"OK AND HOW DO I NEED YOU?"
"To stop the end of your country."
"There is no fucking danger for us! You have hallucinations!"
"Hallucinations? DID YOU NOT LISTEN TO THE PONY! The shadowbolts or whoever are these things are trying to conquer Equestria! I am under the control of one of these ponies. My world is going down! LAST NIGHT I HAVE SEEN PICTURES OF MY FUTURE AND ...!
"Yes yours but not ours!"
"YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I SUFFERED IN THE LAST YEARS! YOU HAVE NO CLUE! YOUR WORLD IS EXACTLY THE OPPSITE OF MINE! HAVE YOU EVER VISIT THE EARTH NO? SO SHUT THE FUCK UP IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA!" Suddenly Night Light took a knife and tried to attack me. I reacted immediately and pushed his forehoove against the table and pressed so hard against it until he loose the control of it and the knife fell. Velvet only cries.
"STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!" said another female voice.
"P ... princess ..." stammered Night Light.
"Yes, it´s me. Akira and I know what is going on! He isn't a psychopath. He is right. With everything. I have seen what he has seen. So stop fighting each other. You are partners, you worked together. Man save your energy against our enemies. YOU BOTH!"
We both calmed down.
"Sorry, Alex."
"It´s ok, I know how that feel. I know what ... what it means if everything is going from bad to ... SHIT!"
"Alex, please go into your room, I have to clarify something."
"It´s ok."
"Can I come with you?" asked Akira.
"Yes, why not?" I said. Velvet as Night Light looked surprised about my reaction.
On my room:
I threw my things into the corner and threw myself into my bed. I was tried, powerless, I felt useless, I felt like ... I wanted to do something but I couldn't.
"Alex, are you ok? Sorry if I make so much problems..."
"Nah its not you Akira. I am glad to have found you, without you I really had think about to kill myself." I still heard Night Light and Velvet discussing about me and her upcoming baby.
"Maybe it is better if I leave Equestria. I don't want that their relationship breaks."
"No, it isn't your fault, without you ... we never know something about these Shadow Bolts. You are a good human. I know that. Maybe you have your dark side and maybe you humans can be sometimes really evil and awful but maybe it is what you makes a human."
"But our humanity is the way to our destruction too. All the years as an SOG, Black Ops Soldier and CIA agent, I never had so less ideas how I can defeat my enemy."
"Hey, think about nice stuff, like ... your son David." but that helped much, always I thought about him, I wanted to start to cry. I haven't even know, if he is still alive or not. Akira note my tears.
"Hey, you haven't to ashamed about this. To cry can sometimes help. You know, earlier, there was a colt, I dreamed about him all day, I wanted him so much and a week later I saw that he already had a marefriend. I cried much but after that I collected new courage to look forward."
"The different is, you are the princess, of love, and feelings, you know how to handle on situations like this but not me."
"But I had to learned it first too." I looked outside the window. It was still cold and rainy.
"Hey, Akira."
"Yes?"
"Come."
"What?"
"Come to me."
"You mean I should join you..."
"I thought you don't have problems to handle with boys and all that stuff."
"OF COURSE NOT, I AM NOT SHY!" but at this moment she was I could saw it on her face. She came to me on my bed. I sat with my back against the wall and she sat next to me. Really close.
"Its ok ... if you want you can cuddle your head against mine."
"I ... you? ... but ... are you sure?"
"Come on." I said and she did it of course. I was sure she want it and of course she liked it.
"Do you feel better now?" I asked.
"Of course ... you too?"
"Yes."
"Why you doing this?"
"I guess you like it. And you wanted to do it last evening too."
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO; NO NO NO!"
"Why you blushing again?"
"HRRRRRRR .... ah ok ... yes but only because ..."
"Because of reasons."
"YEP!" I took a book in my hand and Akira ... how she was ... asked me of course what it was.
"What is this."
"A book."
"OH ... my ... god, very funny. Dumbass."
"HAHAHAH WHAT."
"Man ... you are stupid sometimes. I see you want to play the hard soldier, but in real you have a very very soft heart."
"Maybe." I said.
"Tell me what is it about."
"It´s a book ..."
"HRRRRRRR ... I am gonna to kill you Alex!"
"OK it´s a book about "The First 365 days of David Mason."
"Oh, nice about your son? But why 365 days?"
"A year on Earth has 365 days."
"Oh, I understood. Oh .. is he it. He looks so cute."
"Yes, he is everything for me."
And I show her every single picture of David and me. It feels so good to tell about him. God I was so proud of him.
"Do you see this pretty guy there? That's me. And the ugly bastardy there is my friend SGT. Frank Woods."
"HAHAHAHAHAHHHAA OH MAN YOU ALWAYS JOKING ABOUT HIM...."
"Yes, because he is shooting like ... shit."
"You don't like him?"
"Of course, he is the best partner you can have but we always doing this."
"Hhhmmm...David is really cute. How old is he right now?"
"7 and how old are you?"
"Oh me? I am 25. I know I look a bit younger but ..."
"It´s ok. Only a bit to old for him."
"HA HA HA Very funny Alex."
"Why you said he is cute."
"Yes but I meant .... oh you know ... you are really stupid sometimes."
"UUUUH we are bitch today?"
"Bitchy? You have never seen me "Bitchy"
"Bla bla bla uuuuuuh." and I tickled her.
"Hmmmm ... stop this."
"Why? Are you ticklish? Are you?"
"No?"
"And why you don't like it then?"
"Because ... hey ... aaaaaah no .... hey that's not funny. You ... Ok I have enough ... PAYBACK!" and her horn glowed. I noted I couldn't move. She had a very very evil smile on her face and I know what´s coming.
"You little poor thing ..." she said and started to tickle me as much as possible. I only screamed. I hoped all the time that Night Light wont hear it because before he thinks I am going to kill somepony.
After that she released me and we both calmed down.
"As I said, don't mess with an Alicorn."
"I wont, I promise. But hey, it was funny."
"Yes, it brought us to other thoughts."
"Oh yes. I agree." I said.
*YAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN* I am so tiered. Maybe I have a nap. Hey wake me up if something special will happen."
"I will don't worry Alex." and I felt asleep. I don't know why but it seems that Akira didn't want to leave me alone. Maybe I was her new best friend.
If you don't understand what is going on with Alex, and why I call him every time a psychopath here is the reason for it.
