Chapter two: Letters: Jake to Cassie.

By the Black Flames.

Dear Cassie,

Hey Cassie, I just made it past the first attack. One of the people I met didn't. My newest friend Zack got caught by one of those monkeys in orange. Ever seen the movie Robocop? Remember when that one guy got blasted with those machine guns? It's worse here.

I may not make it back home, so I'm writing you to tell you this incase I never have another chance. I love you Cassie. Remember when we first met? When the professor introduced you to Spike, Mike, and me? Remember when I called you pretty? I was wrong then, but only because I hadn't matured fully. Cassie, You are beautiful. I am really glad that we can finally touch each other, (A/N Not like that!) hold each other, talk without it being on different sides of the screen.

Spike is asking me what I'm writing. I just replied truthfully. I'm writing a letter. When Mike and Spike heard that, they immediately, well, Spike immediately asked who I was writing to. Mike just stood to the side, gave one of his now rare smiles, and then turned back into the cold, emotionless statue we know as Michael Rosenberg. War does terrible things to people. Mike was always happy, always caring, and then the warcame and he shuts up like a bug.

I'm going to go pester Spike, he's writing a letter also, but probably to Natalie. Mike is writing a letter also. I wonder whom he's writing to? I must go, time for roll call to see who we lost.

My love will continue, even if I do not.

Love,

Jake
