Chapter 1: Loss

"Catch me if you can!"

"Oh, I will!"

"You're too slow!~"

"Slow down a little, Remedy! So I can catch you!"

"Never in a million ye-"

I threw myself onto the pink bear, causing the both of us to roll down a flowery hill. Well, I finally caught my girlfriend for the past 10 minutes. I started to tickle her, nonstop. "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Alright! Alright! You got me! S-s-stop! Ha-ha-ha-ha!" Remedy laughed. I stopped and we both took a breath from running. "Hey, Clippy?" remedy said, turning to me. I turned to remedy, and saw a hint of worry on her face. "Why do you want to join the military?" I hesitated, but answered,

"To save everyone from the Shadow Soldier's Power. They're too strong and we lost so much from them. I want to free everyone I love from their power so we can live in peace without threat and violence."

Remedy smiled and laid down on my chest. "I know that's going to happen. Because you're loyal, smart, and brave. That's why I love you." remedy gently said. I kissed her on her forehead and said, "Thanks remedy." Then, "Clippy! Dinner!" my mom called. I turned around. "Coming!" I called, giving my girlfriend a kiss good-bye and ran home. I saw my mother, smiling and waving. I waved back and entered the house. "Hi, mom!" I said, panting. "Hi, clippy!" mom said, greetfully. I sat down and mom gave me my favorite food, Pasta and garlic bread. "Wow, thank you mom!" I said. "So, clippy. Guess who's coming home?" mom asked, petting my head. My eyes widen, "Dad?" I guessed. Mom nodded her head and smiled. The first thing that came up in my head was, "Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!" I haven't seen dad in two years, I can finally see him! "When is he coming?!" I asked, excited. Mom looked at the clock and answered, "In a few hours." I quickly finished my food and ran upstairs. I want to make my dad proud when I show him my letter to join the military. I took a shower, brushed my light green hair and teeth, and the only thing I had trouble on was...

"What the hell am I going to wear?"

A white shirt with a red stripe in the middle,

"Nope."

A yellow shirt with black stripes,

"Na-ah."

A gray shirt with black word that said SWAG,

"Um...no."

A black shirt,

"I wore this yesterday!"

Finally, a military pattern shirt.

"Perfect!"

I also wore golden dog tags my dad gave me when he left. I want to show him that I still have what he gave me. I went downstairs and waited for my dad to come home. A few hours later, a knock came on the door. "Clippy! Can you get the door?" my mother called from the bathroom. I walked to the door and opened it. But, it wasn't my dad, it was my dad's friends, Sniper. "Hi, Mr. Sniper!" I said. His face was filled with horror and sorrow. "What's the matter?" I asked. Slowly, sniper took his military hat off his head and said, "Sergeant Tyler...w-was...e-executed in action...last night in Shadow Soldier territory." My eyes widen in shock. "Wh-wh-what?" "I'm really sorry, clippy. Where's your mother?" sniper asked. Just in time, mom came out from the bathroom. "Hi, sniper! Where's Tyler?" she asked. Tears welled up in my eyes, and anger started to build up inside of me. When my mother got the news that dad was executed, she burst into tears. Sniper apologized, 15 times, he was sorry and he felt bad for us. He left and I ran to my room. I yelled to mom to hide. Just when she asked why, she noticed my eyes were twitching and my eyes were glowing yellow. I'm starting to flip out. Mom ran and hid in the secret room that only me and her knew about. Luckily, Clipqy, my evil side, didn't know about it.

Clipqy started to trash up the place, tearing down my military posters, knocking down the vases downstairs, screaming as he flipped a table over. Finally, 5 minutes later, I was curled up to a ball in the corner of the living room. I was sobbing, shaking, and Clipqy barely went away. "D-dad...why? You promised...you promised...you promised..." I whimpered, slowly getting up, looking at a chair near the window, repeating what I'm saying.

"You promised...y-you promised...you promised...you promised...y-you p-promised..."

Finally, I snapped for the last time,

"YOU FUCKING PROMISED!"

Clipqy picked up the chair and threw it at the window causing a loud

*CRASH!*

I went back to my normal self and fell to my knees. I sobbed, mom stopped hiding and wrapped her arms around me, trying to comfort me. But nothing can comfort me from the pain I'm in right now.
