Hey guys! It's been a while since I've updated. Thanks to the people that have favorited/followed this story. It would make my day if you guys could just review my story. Anyways this is Carter's death. I wasn't really sure if I should do Kat's death first, because it happens so quickly that there's not enough POV of Kat. Tell me what you think!

Carter knew what he was doing when he told Six and Emile to jump off the pelican. He needed people on the ground. For a while Carter was so upset over Kat's death that he could barely move. Kat was no longer a life; just a dead corpse.

He shot a few rounds from the pelican into the scarab. Carter was a leader not a wuss. Now was not the time to think about Kat. After all he was a Spartan. And Spartans can never get to upset over a team mates death.

But for some reason he was upset. Not only because Kat died, but she didn't get a chance to die honorably. The elite that had shot her was a coward. Just like all of the covenants. He didn't know what to do, so he just shot at the elite with his magnum. Just doing what any Spartan would have done.

But Carter didn't want to do that. He wanted to cradle Kat's body in his arms like she was a baby. But he had to set an example for the team. If they saw their leader get all sentimental, they would get the wrong idea.

Carter felt like an even bigger coward. He could have had a chance to do something. Maybe he could have saved Kat. But deep down Carter knew it would have been impossible. He felt miserable. Why couldn't the elite just shoot him?

He realized there was only one thing left to do.

He said into his communication device,

"You're on your own now Noble. Carter out."

And with that he crashed the pelican into the scarab.

This one was a little longer than chapter 1 but I know this is still very short. R&R!
