Note from Author: I usually write the story in my free time at work, on my phone, and later fix it on the computer. I was writing "Tamsin" as "Tasmin" - Ha! I fixed it. I do have plans for this fan fiction. Hang in there - maybe some will see where I'm going with it. ;) Comments are welcome and appreciated!


Battle

Blood and Battle

by Rachel JW (aka Calisky3)

Into the night something terrible was lurking. Usually a valkyries presence is one of furious passion, glory, and sometimes death.

Tamsin stilled herself. Somethings or someones with bad intentions were coming to the camp, to Lauren; it wanted blood and bodies.

A hissing noise, then a loud alarm was sounding. A high pitch to hit the deck, was ones first inclination. The sky roared and the ground shook like thunder. This medical unit was under attack.

Lauren who was standing quickly found herself knocked into the ground. Her heart raced and she could barely understand what to make of what was once a quiet moment. Tamsin knew that with her presence usually brought about someone's demise.

The ground shook furiously again as Lauren stumbled to stand upright. Screaming could be heard and assault rifles were shooting in some direction.

Lauren made her way out of the tent and into a fire lite sky. Sand was beneath her feet and smoke was in the air. What was a dark night quickly turned into a light show with assault rifles shooting towards and enemy. Screaming men and women in gear ran toward the sound of thunder and Lauren followed.

"Man down!" Two soldiers dragged another away from the fire fight. Lauren reached for her bag and fell on her knees to the soldier. She put pressure on the injury as more medical arrived. It was mayhem thrown together like a blender. It didn't take long for the good doctor to size up the soldiers injuries.

Instinctively, Lauren put gloves on with ease; she always carried some on her person. She inserted tongs to a bullet she could see and took out shards from his mans arm before she wrapped bandages around him. "Can you walk?" Lauren yelled over the noise. "Better, I can still shoot." Lauren looked at him and smiled. She thought for a moment she saw her brother Ethan before her, his strength and determination. A flash of light revealed his true face and he jumped up to run with his rifle. It wasn't Ethan. Lauren's heart ached.

Scrambled radio traffic could be heard notifying base of the attack.

Lauren felt at war with herself. Chief medical physician Lauren Lewis wanted to be soldier first, this once. Everyone even the medics knew how to shot a firearm and this time, Lauren decided instead of her usual duties she wanted to take the lives of the ones who took her brother from her. Fury arose from within her. Her eyes fire like a phoenix. Why did she always have to be the smart, kind doctor? She wanted revenge and death for her brother.

This whole situation with being in the military and being a physician was a cluster-fuck of moral issues. As a medical professional she vowed to secure and protect life, but as a soldier she wanted revenge with the unique ability to take advantage of it. It was bittersweet in her mind.

Fury was in her blood. Tamsin felt a change in Lauren that she knew had to be uncharacteristic. Passion and purpose roared in her veins. Lauren thought one last time of Ethan. The ground shook again making Lauren stumble to a case carrying a sniper with high capacity loaded rounds, night vision scope included. It was go big or go home moment and she knew she was already going home with no family to spare.

The weapon was suiting to have stumbled upon it masterful at such an exquisite time. Tamsin knew better then to believe in fate. It was if the Gods knew Lauren's wrath and wanted to fueled this personal rebirth.

Tamsin looked up at the sky, "Damn you Odin."

Tamsin saw the weapon and became quickly aware that this was not playing out how it should or maybe it was, but to who's plan? Never the less, it was a thrill to see Lauren in action, even if it seemed in poor taste on Tasmin's behalf. Lauren seemed to be replaced by Xena on this night.

"She's not the one you're after asshole," Tamsin verbalized.

In time, she'll be aligned.

"Cryptic much?" Tamsin said out of frustration. She now had a reason to keep an eye on the good doctor and not feel any guilty in doing so.

Lauren holstered the firearm and passed by a few soldiers crouching in a dip in the ground for protection shooting. Standing Lauren took the scope to her eye, seeing green heat signatures.

There was no going back after this. This was war, no second thoughts or chances. This moment was the only moment she would allow herself, because she knew once it was over she would never be able to forgive herself for it. The first target appeared across into enemy territory and Lauren shot her first bullet hitting its target with deadly accuracy. A second into view, gone. A third, Lauren was an amazing shot powered by grief and revenge. A side of herself she didn't even know.

Lauren continued to walk forward on some type of suicide mission. Tamsin ran to follow knowing something wasn't right though she questioned why she cared for split second before she followed the doctor with a sniper rifle scope to her eye.

"Of all the wars, this doctor had to fall into mine," Tamsin thought.

Moving from one spot to the other with, hit after direct hit, Lauren fell to her knees as she advanced forward. Her strong stance only could have lasted so long before they'd realized it was the hot blonde taking out their forces. It was an honorable way to go; death by hot blonde sniper.

Keep her safe. She is necessary.

"Babysitter's Club, awesome! Pretty sure not in my job description," Tamsin said making her way to Lauren kicking up sand.

Lauren saw red. Her shirt, tattered. She was hit, but where? The sharp pain was coming from the lower abdominal area. She slowly falling to the ground. Blood rushed out as she barely clung to her wound and now tattered uniform. Lauren was to seeing injuries not really use to having them. Either way, she couldn't feel much with the adrenaline in her system.

More gun fire came her way, but Tasmin ran to her side and laid her body on top of Lauren's as protection deflecting at least one direct shot.

Lauren stared up at the blonde in uniform dropping her firearm. "I think we should get out of here. Sound like a plan doctor?" Lauren moved in agreement and Tamsin help the doctor run back to safety before they both fell in a crash from a near by makeshift bomb explosion.

Tamsin turned over and watched Lauren, looked for any sign of life. Her head had been cut by something and now she wasn't responding. "Great doc, I'm guessing you're the 'cuddle before you pass out' type."

Tamsin drew Lauren's arms around her neck.

Sand flew over head as fighter jets went across the sky. "Not my calvery, but they'll do," Tamsin spoke under her breath seeing the future of the nearby rebel's fight coming to a quick end.

"Let's go doc!" Tamsin picked Lauren up stumbling. Tamsin was covered in Lauren's blood. Crimson and smoke filled the air.

Lauren started to cough and weaken. "Ok G.I. Jane, lets go!" Tamsin pulled Lauren's warm body close to hers dragging her away from the firing range.
