We Split into teams. We decided that Fang and Treble would be the team leaders. They those us. After picking whao was on who's Team, we headed back to the individual forts and made sure everything was ready.

Treble: Clyde, Soul, Punk, Night, Arrow

Fang: Me, Zero, Mise, Warhawk, Shard

Our team headed into the fort that looked like an old castle, While the others went into what looked into a mansion. When we got inside, we shut the wooden double doors in the front, and locked them. We made sure we all had our stuff. I had my M4 and

1911l, Fang had his Uzi and MP5,Mise had his M16 and rubber knife, Warhak had his Shotgun and 1911, and Shard had a rubber knife, and M24.

   I had a few homemade grenades, as well as spare mags. We had Shard climb the watch tower and snipe from there. I stood with Mise on the walls, on guard. We would send in Warhawk, Mise, and fang to attack them. After ten minutes of planning,  with first round was fired. The war had begun...

Arrow Tried sneaking around through the back, but I caught him and shot him with six rounds in The back as he tried to run from our defences. Our teams kept firing ast each other. Shard eventually took out one of there deffences, but at a price. Punk snipped him from their roof. We all mourned for our loss, as he shouted "HIT" and walked out of the battle field, holdings his gun above his hands. Then they sent all of their forces to attack. They were banging on the door. they tried getting in, but Mise mowed them down with his M16.  I went to scout to see if the closest was clear by looking over the watch tower. I fell down on my head. We called put a ten minute break, so we could give me proper medicare. We wrapped a bandages around my head, and the game resumed. We sent our forces to attack. They're other defences failed and we got in. We left our fort, and approached the mansion. The entry to it was locked by ropes.

"I got it!" Muttered Shard. He pulled out his sword from his back, and cut down the ropes in one slice. We busted through the doors, to be surprised by the sound of a muffled voice saying "Surprise, Motha fucka..". Treble walked out of the shadows, and began firing his minigun. We all ran for cover, but not all of us made it. I ran behind a wall into the bathroom, and hid there with my M4 shaking in my hands, pointed at the entry. I turn around, and see I'm not in a bathroom, but a kitchen.

"I think I fell on my head a little to hard..." Insaid under my breath. I look at the entry again, to see a jugernaut standing there, MENACINGLY! He held the minigun on his back, and an Uzi in his hands. He fired three rounds at my arms, witch stung like a bitch.

"Boo." Said Treble. That's all I heard,  but Mise then came jumping out of the hallway, shooting furiosly at Treble.

"Die! Die! Die die!" He shouted. Treble was overwhelmed by him. As he was firing everywhere, Mise jumped onto his minigun,  and shot Him the face armor with his shotgun, declaring that he was out.

"You're terminated" he whispered. After two more hours, I went home. I took off my gear, and put my airsoft things away. I went into my bathroom to check on my wounds. I took off my shirt, to see that most of my wounds had either gone completely, or had a smoke like substance coming from it, as it faded from existence.

   Ten minutes later, I walked into my room, and turned on my phone. I had two messages from Lyra.

"Hey, Atlas. I was wondering if you were busy tomorrow. If not its OK" said Lyra.

"I was also wondering if we could talk..." She said.

"Yea sure I'm available right now too." I responded. I waited two minutes.

"Good. About Summer...I understand what you feel. All of the pain you feel. It's all going to be okay. Just try at least to ignore her. I completely understand why you don't want to talk to her. She made you try to kill yourself.  I know why you want to block her out. Atlas...Its going to be okay...I'm here for you. Even though we aren't dating, I will still care for you no matter what. I'm here for you, Atlas...," she said.

"Thanks, Lyra I really appreciate it. I have just been overwhelmed the past few days. Especially after what happened today...You're one of my best friends here, and quite frankly, I don't know where I would be  without your help and support." I said.

"Atlas...What you just said has touched my heart. And it's not a problem at all. I'm here for you...Always" she replied. Then it hit me. Do I Like her? Or is she just a friend...a really really really close friend. One I can depend on..that may love me... That's the problem. I don't know if she likes me or not.

   I decided to be a nice guy and think about the things that Summer had said. She tried taking her own life...to be with me...maybe she did not really mean what she said...I looked at my scars, and got lost in thought. I was feeling an emotion I thought I would never feel towards Summer. The emotion I was feeling, was Remorse . Remorse that she tried taking her own life to try to join me. Remorse that she wanted we to forgive her. I thought about my mother. How I only knew her for eight years before she died in a weather peculiar way. I climbed into my bed. "It's going to be okay...Lyra...*sigh*" I muttered to myself, before I drifted to sleep.
