One Shot
"I'll save him next." She could save the commander. She had a perfect shot. The target was small. She'd hit it. The commander was yelling for her to get out. He was accepting the inevitable. She wasn't. So, she fired.
"I hit it."
What you see is not what you get
With you there's just no measurement
No way to tell what's real from what isn't
There
Years earlier,the centaurlooked at a screen. What was that blur? It could be anything. He knew what it was. The commander wasn't getting it. He blew up the picture again. A hypodermic dart.
Now,he was staring at a very different scenario. He could not have seen that. There was no way it had happened.She had not just shot the commander. And what in the gods' name was that blur?
Your eyes they sparkle
That's all changed
Into lies that drop like acid rain
You washed away the best of my
You don't care
The evil pixie glared at the captain. Her smile was charming and yet hideous. Those large brown eyes were dripping with malice.She barely heard what she said. The commander looked at complete peace, and wished her well. Then the bomb went off.
You know you did it I'm
Gone
To find someone to live for in this world
There is no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You are wrong if you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you coming back when I finally moved on
I'm already gone
She flew into the tunnel, up the chutes. Behind her was the debris that had once been a father figure to her. The pixie would pay, but first she had someone else to save. She wouldn't fail him or the commander.
There is nothing you can say / Sorry doesn't cut it babe / Take the hint and walk away Cause I'm gone
The fairy before him was telling him so many things. How could this be real? But it must be. Still, his brain refused to believe.
It doesn't matter what you do It's what you did that's hurting you All I needed was the truth Now I'm gone
The gold medallion glowed in the soft light from the plasma screen. If the LEP had left his mind alone they wouldn't be in this mess. He wouldn't have come so close to being killed by trolls. He was whole again in mind, but he was changed forever.
What you see is not what you get What you see is not what you get
You know you did it I'm gone
She was the first female captain. She would not be the first female major. But she would still help the People, and she would always remember the last thing said to her by Commander Julius Root.
