Misguided Emotions

Prologue

Stars blinked randomly in the sky as the wind blew the trees and every blade of grass on the ground. It was an oddly warm night out for being mid-fall. A young brunette lay on the ground, the wet grass dampening her clothes. She breathed in the blowing sent of what it always smelled like at night time, a mix of everything from dew to the musk of the trees. All seemed peaceful except for the soft cries of animals in the woods.

Suddenly the silence was broken by a glee of joy from behind her. Sitting up she turned around only to be knocked over back onto the ground. Both made groans of pain as they began to try and sit up. The brunette shook her head and blinked to clear her vision. She looked up at the red-head that had knocked her down and stared at her blankly. All the red-head did was grin at her.

"What's wrong with you, Kate? You could have hurt yourself, or worse, me!" she scolded. The red-head gave a sigh but kept the smile on her face.

"You are so grumpy," Kate said as she made a face, "Come on! Today you should be happy! It's your birthday; you're not a baby anymore!"

"I am only a couple months younger than you, so stop calling me a baby," she snarled. Kate sighed and gave a small smile with sad eyes.

"What's wrong, Chris? I know you're a little moody, but it's your birthday, you're never moody on your birthday. Is something bothering you?"

Chris stared at Kate in the face for a few seconds then turned away. She slowly laid back down in the grass and stared at the starry sky. Closing her eyes she sighed. Kate sat next to her and stared at the sky.

"The thing is," Chris began, scaring Kate with breaking the silence, "I know I should be happy about turning 15, but I can't get this one thought out of my head." She opened her eyes and stared once again at the deep blue sky. "The sky is pretty isn't it? What would you call that color? Prussian blue, maybe? Either way, it is lovely, isn't it?" Kate stared at her and shook her head, knowing that Chris was just trying to avoid the subject.

"Kris," she said with a firm tone, "tell me what's bugging you." Chris took a deep breath and closed her eyes once again.

"I've been thinking a lot lately, and all I can think about," she said softly, "is that this may be my last birthday. What if I don't get to celebrate my next birthday? What if I'm dead by then? This is a dangerous life we've been given!"

Kate stared at Chris solemnly. She knew that what Chris just said was the truth, but she didn't want to dwell on it. If they really were going to be killed during this mission, then they might as well make the best of it. Kate stood up and bent over to pull Chris to her feet. Chris stared up at her with a slight glare but did not struggle against her.

Pulling her to her feet, Kate began dragging her away from the hilltop towards the light of a fire. Behind the fire there were two large metallic machines standing next to the trees. Kate sat Chris on the foot of one of these machines and went behind the other machine. She came back around a minute later holding a white birthday cake with blue and green decorations and Happy Birthday Chris in red in the middle. As she walked over she sang,

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Chri-is, happy birthday to you!" Chris couldn't help but smile and gave her friend a hug when she set the cake down on the metal foot.

"Thank you," she whispered as her eyes began to tear.

"Oh, Chris, this is the first time I've seen you cry in ages!" she stated shocked. "Make a wish before the wax leaks all over the cake and we have to eat it!"

Chris smiled and took in a deep breath. She closed her eyes and made her wish as she blew out 15 candles.
