Hey Guys,
So late HAPPY NEW YEARS! So I had a very busy day and celebrated my partial birthday. Sadly I didn't get any presents cause I told them to give it to me on my actually birthday, so yer. By the way this story is coming to its end soon, maybe in the couple of chapters. If you want it to continue or another Shatter Me fanfic just PM me or review. Anyway as usual this story does contain; some mild course language (also some mild kissing), crappy spellcheck and sucky grammar.
Recap:
Screaming into the harsh wind that become evident around me, I couldn't feel anything, I was numb mentally and physically. Still screaming out till my voice was raw and rough but I couldn't stop. I could feel my knees slowly falling under me into icy snow, but I couldn't feel it. Falling into a deep patch of snow, I looked up into the darkening skies filling my vision. I couldn't face them, Castle, Warner and the nation. I failed them, and what about Mia, I had killed her parents. I am a monster, the fears of children. Feeling the harsh storm finally breaking from the darkness, laying in the snow I could see the unforgiving ice start to drop at a rapid pace but I couldn't move. Closing my eyes I let the darkness taken me.
It's strange this darkness, I feel as if floating in the blackness of nothing. I don't know how long I have been detached from reality but the long I stay here the more I can feel myself lose crumbs of my former self. It's amusing, I can't even remember who I was and yet I can feel my life slowly disappearing into the unforgiving blackness. I was cold, so cold. Why was I cold? Why am I here? Suddenly I could hear voices in the darkness, explosions in the distance. I wanted to run but I was too cold to move.
As the voices neared the darkness started to close around my like a blanket, smothering me. I started to choke, I couldn't breathe. I began to panic. "Juliette, shit." I could hear, who was that? "Juliette, love please." I could feel warm hands on my face but I couldn't touch them. Trying to reach out, but the darkness wouldn't let me, screaming but it was silenced. "Suddenly I was moving but not by my feet. Then the panic arose again, my breath became short, shallow breaths. I started to struggle against the warmth surrounding me but it fought me to. "Love please, stay with me" I could hear his rising panic. Struggling again but this time against the darkness, but it couldn't fight it, it surrounded me from all sides. Slowly it covered all my pores and I knew I had lost.
I was warm, hot even. "What's wrong with her mum?" I could hear a child ask. "I don't know bunny, but I know she will be fine." I heard a woman's voice, guessing it was the mother. Slowly opening my eyes to a large, grey cement roof. Looking to the left and right of me there where hundreds of people. Slowly pealing the layers of blankets. Where was I? Better question was who was I? Walking towards, what appeared to be an exit, heard a name being called out. "Juliette" turning to see who this 'Juliette' I saw a man, with the lightest shade of emerald eyes, then it all came back, the memories, feelings and the pain. Looking at Warner, I could feel the boiling tears tumbling from my eyes. Looking around the room, I could feel their pain and confusion. Before I knew what I was doing I was in his arms, my head placed in the crook of his neck. "Take me somewhere quiet" I whispered into his neck. Slowly he led me to a small room with the cold grey concrete walls. Sitting down, still wrapped in his arms. "I killed them Aaron, all of them" I spoke after the silence seemed to be suffocating me. Again for sometime we sat there on the lonely icy floor. "Did you really?" he stated, looking up at the cement roof ceiling. What did he mean, Kenji and the others died because of my stupid mouth. "Was it really your fault that they died? Did you pull the trigger or sent the aircraft to bomb the innocent?" looking into his eyes. I could see his pain but his understanding. "How can I lead this nation if I can't even protect the ones I love." Looking away.
"As a leader, you have to make difficult decisions and choices. In a war people will die but it's only on your hands if you let them die in vain. Kenji knew that with his death you would fight harder. They all knew that you could win this, you just have to believe in yourself. These people will follow you anywhere because you don't hide behind soldiers or rule your nation with fear, you nurture and grow them. You fight with them, you are one of them. You just can't see." Locking my orbs with his, and I understood. Looking around I finally noticed we where in the bunkers. "What happened?"
"All the sections were bombed just after the message cut out. We managed to warn the other sections but we lost thousand, we have maybe thirty thousand left all over the nation" thirty thousand out of almost hundred thousand. "Gather everyone, and broadcast the message to the rest of the sections." I said walking out. Within ten minutes I was standing in front of what was left of section 45 and the through screens around the room, the rest of the nation. "I'm sorry, I know you have lost friends, loved ones and families. I know you are hurting, I wish I could go back in time because I to have lost everything you have. Sometimes too hard to breathe and sometimes you can't, and as your leader, no as one we cry together. We are mourning because of what was taken from us, not just our homes but lives. I have been broken and rebuilt so many times and I can say it is a hundred times as harder to put yourself back together than it is to hold it together.
I will not allow us to break all over again. I cannot sit any longer and watch as we slowly die, no more will be take this pain and heartache. No longer will we have to be slaves to others who wish to destroy us. I will not let those whose lives that have been ripped from our own hands die in vain. I am done playing their game, it is time we step up and join the war but on our own terms. I ask for volunteers to join this fight, I will not force anyone to fight a battle they may never get to go home afterwards. What do say?" the room was suddenly filled with cheers and quiet sobs from the screens and people. It's time we bring the fight to them.
Well that happened, who wants to join the war now! Again have a happy late New Years! Thanks everyone for reading! Please review, your comments are greatly appreciated.
STAY TUNED FOR MORE!
