Halo: Redemption

Chapter 1- what should I do

Alcia, a half prophet and half elite covenant, stood on the edge of a battle field watching in horror as the prophets warriors, elites, and marines are being killed. Felling helpless at the fact that she can't chose aside to fight for. If she were to fight with her family and grandfathers (regret and mercy) she would be going against her friends, and if she were to fight with her friends she would be dishonoring her family.

"What should I do" Alcia whispers and looks down at a little pet she's holding. On the brink of crying she turns and runs into a forest hopping that by doing so she would be able to run away from her problems. Once she fells its safe she stops at a fallen tree and sits down. sigh "Oh Kumina, what should I do I can't fight against my friends and I can't dishonor my family" "Ree" was the creature's only response.

A rumble in the bushes sets Alcia's alert on a high level. "You know that that thing can't understand you right" 217, a female Spartan with purple and green armor, says as she walks out of the bush. Sigh "I know…. How did you find me any way?" Alcia asks. 217's replied "the Chief saw you run away out of the corner of his eye and told me to trail you to make sure you don't get into trouble rests current weapon (smg) on shoulder I would of told him that you probably just needed time to yourself, but since he was holding a rocket launcher I thought it best not to contradict him."

217 walks over to Alcia and sits down beside her "Look I know you feel like you can't fight for any side but I got to know who's side are you on". Alcia looks at her "I told you before I don't-" 217 cut her of saying "no more 'I don't knows'. Ok let me put it this way ignore the fact that the prophets are your family, that I'm your friend. That the Arbiter is your friend! Now with that whose side would you be on?" Alcia looks down and thinks "Well when you put it that way I would have to say your side, but it's not that way. Don't get me wrong it's not like I like the prophets it's just that…" Wanting to avoid silence 217 responds "Ok so you don't like them, just forget that they are your family. Take a stand for what's right, stand up for all the lies they told you and the rest of the convent. And no mater what stands up and holds out hand I'm here for you." Alcia looks up and smiles as close to a human smile she can master, and takes 217's hand into her own pulling herself up "I guess you're right, I shouldn't let my relations chose, I should leave that up to my heart." Both friends sit back down deciding to take a brake from the war and just hang out. While sharing stories (like one about the Arbiter and Master Chief) they fail to notice a brute taking careful aim.

well this is a pliot chapter and depending on reviews i might but up the rest.
