A good soldier follows orders.
A good soldier follows orders.
A good soldier follows orders.
It runs through my mind. My order. Track. Hunt. Find. Kill. I feel no regret, no remorse. I ease the door open. Something flickers inside of me. I shut it out.
A good soldier follows orders.
I stare at the darkened, snoring figure on the bed. I feel like I should know him. Should I? It doesn't matter.
A good soldier follows orders.
I drew my weapon. I click of the safety.
Follows orders.
I press the gun to his head. I pull the trigger.
I kneel down in shock. Orders? My orders? What orders?
There can't be a sceptic without a believer.
There can't be knowledge without ignorance.
There can't be me without him.
I just killed my other half.
And one half can't exist without the other. As I press the cool barrel to my temple, I smile sadly. Maybe now will find peace together.
Peace. It's all I ever wanted.
A/N: This quick little drabble just popped out of my head during school. I had to wait till my free bell to write it which sucked, but oh well. This is based on the concept that Scully's chip in her neck is the same that control the clones in Star Wars. And yes, that makes Mulder a Force-sensitive! I may add more later, but for now it's done.
