Firstly, my appologies for the first chapter, it makes little sense but youll see where im going with this.
Im trying to keep as chronologically accurate to treyarchs storyline as possible, in an attempt to maybe solve some of the uncertainties of the storyline anyone has, but also adding my own twists to use as my ending after moon.
Most of my charicters will not interveene during the main story for this purpose, but youll get little snipetts of what theyre doing as were going through to keep you on track.
Any constructive critisism anyone can get me is gratefully recived, im new to writing and have got a few chapters through and have decided as im going along other POV will help me greatly.
I own no Treyarch charicters blah blah blah, but mine are an invention of my own.
Enough babble! Onwards!
Chapter 1 - Goodbyes
The sun rose over the valley beyond and penetrated the room, disturbing what little sleep I had, I groaned and turned away, pulling the soft sheets over my head. I tried to open my eyes but my body wanted to pull back into a warm comfortable slumber. I had enough to do today, there was the final preparations... I began to feel sick, I had been dreading this day since I had first been told.
Movement to my right distracted me of my thoughts, the bedclothes were pulled tighter as he stirred. I reached out my hand to find his, his skin warm and inviting, his arms finding me also and pulling me closer, I looked up to find him, still sleepy but smiling at me. I loved that smile, I felt like it was reserved only for me, my mother had questioned what I saw in such a seemingly cold man. But I knew the truth, inside was a good man, one who was passionate about what he believed in and hardworking, ironically also the reason that today he was leaving me.
"Shouldnt have stayed awake so long last night" he murmured, fighting back a yawn.
"I did suggest it, for me it was worth it, I can sleep anytime"
"I wasn't complaining was I"
He pulled me closer and his lips found mine, as he moved me I was suddenly aware of pains I had never experienced before, thouggh they were filled with good memories, despite what bruising I must now have, I couldn't recall a time his touch was too harsh, too much anything other than wonderful.
It was still chilly outside, the sun having not yet chased away the cold spring morning, as I looked out over the valley I felt a pang of sadness. I would have no one to enjoy this view with anymore, true, my mother and father may visit occasionally, possibly even his sister seeing as he wasn't going to be around anymore, but still, it wouldn't be the same, and more than likely the next time I was to see him would be in one of the facilities. If I was lucky.
A knock at the door startled me, I walked through to the kitchen, pulling my night coat tighter around me, I grasped the cold metal and lifted the latch. A smile greeted me of a man I had never met, but heard plenty about. Dr Maxis was the head of group 935, a research group who developed new and upcoming technologies, I knew little of their work other than that however, just that their work was top secret and was one of the reasons why Edward had to leave.
"Hello, you must be Rosalyn"
"Yes, Doctor Maxis I presume?"
"Please, call me Ludwig theres no need for formalities"
"Come in, its cold out there"
The man came though the door into the kitchen, I offered him a chair at our table and went to find Edward.
Chatter ensued as I brewed us all a warm drink, I re-lit the fire to warm us, it was still a rather cold February morning. I caught a snippet of their conversation and it drew my attention.
"Ahh I have some news aswell! My wife is expectant again"
"Really? Have you told Samantha?"
"Of course, she is a little young to understand the implications as of yet, but she is excited to have a new sibling, it does present issues with me being so far away for such long periods of time and with a new child things can be tough, but her mother and father have said they would help and they're not too far away to travel now"
"Ahh that's good then, it wouldn't be easy to juggle two children on your own, especially with money so hard to find nowadays"
"Yes but money isnt a problem fortunately. And where are your children? I would have expected some by now"
A small chuckle from Edward, I bit my lip nervously
"Really? Another me? Think of poor Rosa, she would be run ragged!"
It was Maxis's turn to laugh now, a more hearty one than Edwards, he began to rise out his chair as he drained his cup.
"Rosa my dear it's been lovely to meet you" He took my hand and kissed the top lightly "Unfortunatley it is time we left, we are far from Bresleau and have many things to get on with once we are there"
"Of course Ludwig, have a safe journey"
"Stay strong my dear. Edward, I shall let you say your goodbye's in peace, I'll be in the car"
He strode to the door straightening his uniform, the door shut gently behind him. I looked at Edward my eyes already swimming with tears, he pulled me to him and held me tightly, I began to sob into his shoulder as he held me, his hand brushing my hair, murmuring to me gently. I pulled away and wiped my eyes. My chest felt empty and sore as I looked into his eyes for what could be the last time in months..
"Ich liebe dich mein Lieber, ich denke immer an Sie"
"Und ich von dir, viel Glück, ich werde dich bald zu sehen"
