~Nothing But The Truth~

((A/N: Hey guys! Yes, I know this isn't a Harry Potter ff, but I though i'd try something different. I'm sorry if it's not very good, but I had writers block and this took me a few hours to write! I do not own Battleship!))

The lightning flashed bright outside as the ship roughly sailed the ocean seas as Petty Officer Cora Raikes (myself) was playing pool with Jimmy Ord in the rec room.

"Great, another miss," Jimmy said as he missed sunk the white ball once again.

I laughed, "What do you expect? With the ship sailing as it is at the moment."

"True," Jimmy sighed as he put down his cue, giving up on the game all together.

I put down my cue as well, being fed up with the game also, and sat on the bench next to the pool table. Jimmy came and sat down next to me after a moment. He eyed me for a few moments, opened his mouth to say something, and closed it again. He did that a few times before it began to annoy me.

"Ordy, what the fuck are you doing?" I asked him, annoyed.

Jimmy just laughed merrily at me, and then I realised that he was just doing it to piss me off. Well, it worked. I laughed and punched him in the arm.

"Dickhead," I mumbled under my breath.

Jimmy seemed to hear me, as he gasped dramatically. "I, James Oliver Ord, am NOT a dickhead, thank you very much!"

"You're such a childish idiot," I commented, pushing him the chest.

"So am I a dickhead, or a childish idiot? I'm so confused," Jimmy stated.

I opened my mouth to retort when 3 of our fellow crew mates Theodore Wesley, Oliver Tompson and Emilie Wells walked into the room. The ship gave a sudden dip, resulting in Emilie being thrown against the wall. She only got a bump and she got up as it none of that had happened.

"You're such a clutz, Em," Theodore said as he sat down on the other side of me.

Jimmy and I shared a look. As much as these guys were our friends, and we loved them, they could get quite annoying and childish at times. It could get under someones skin very easily.

"Hey, Cora, you have a phone call," our ET, Daniel Richards, told me as he appeared in the doorway. "It's urgent."

I took one look at his face, and I knew he wasn't lying. I suddenly got very worried. There were some... complications... back at home. I looked to Jimmy, who had a look of confusion and worry mixed on his face.

I got up and followed Daniel to the phone. Once we arrived, Daniel shot me a worried look before closing the door and waiting outside for my privacy. I picked up the phone hesitantly and put it to my ear.

"Hello?" I said uncertainly into the phone.

"Cora? Oh, thank god! I don't know what to do! I'm so scared!" Came a quick response from the other end. I only just understood that it was my younger sister, Emmaline Lloyd.

"Em, calm down. What happened?" I asked my hyperventilating sister.

I could hear Emmaline try to breathe calmly on the other end, but I could tell it wasn't working very well.

"Emma, just give me the phone," I heard one of my daughters, Charlotte, say. There was a fumble of chords and some talking before Charlotte greeted me.

"Hi mum," Charlotte said to me, glumly.

"Hey Lottie. What was that all about?" I greated my daughter.

Charlotte breathed shakily before she answered, "Rose has been taken."
